This unique display, is the work of Henry Bauer, meat cutter for the local concern, and a Highland Park resident who lives gt 656 Chiâ€" cago avenue.

"Granted it takes skill to dissect a porterhouse from a loin of beef and one who values his thumb must be a good mechanic in the presence of a bacon â€" slicing machine, the trade of cutting, meat does have its limitations for a butcher who happens to have the instinects of an artist. yÂ¥ycinn . oo “Henrx‘ Bauer, Highland Park meat cutter, manages to earn a livelihood at a bloodstained block and practice an art by taking refâ€" uge in the vegetable ‘kingdom, a realm which most rightâ€"thinking butchers regard as inhabited: only by timid souls on diet..

It was not to be primarily a moneyâ€"making project and thereâ€" fore the tickets are all at one low price.

Last week several letters were quoted in these ‘columns. Followâ€" ing are exerpts from several others. Major Frank J. Ronan, candidate for mayor says in part; "My canâ€" didacy has been prompted by the fact I feel that Highland Park has been sadly lacking in leadership and proper concern in our problems and conditions. Nothing perhaps so clearly indicate sthis as the garbage situation. A No doubt you know that Highland Park receives approximately $15,â€" 000 annually from the county for the garbage, fund: that approximâ€" ately $9,000 annually is spent, and the balance goes to a reserve amounting now to about $27,000, available to apply to a program. of otherwise securing funds, nothâ€" ing has been done to even propose a plan of solution. â€" : Notwithstanding this fact the availability of federal funds for a purpose like this and the possibility I am thoroughly convinced of the need and confident a plan can be accomplished ~that will mvfl. & satisfactory solution ‘with due ‘reâ€" gard for efficiency, service, cost and the interest of taxpayers. C Mr.â€"Jerome P. Bowes, candidate for commissioner states: "First I am opposed to the conâ€" tinuance <of private collections of garbage on the basis that such opâ€" functi 3 ,‘roooiahed on Y uuehfiroumn&mntry.‘ Second the city collection can be accomplished â€" on a more efficient, sanitary and economical basis, the yesult being lower costs and a more equitable distribution of same than now exists. The present charges vary from $1 to $3 a month dependâ€" ing on how good a negotiator one is. These discriminatory rates cerâ€" tainly ad another indietment to our present system. x ols 4« Third the city collection will reâ€" sult in generally improved health conditions as there would no longer exist reasons for private dumping. This would also result in a general cleanâ€"up of vacant propertyâ€" which has heretofore been used for such purposes and aid and maintain the beauty of our community, _ _ . My brief survey of our neighborâ€" ing villages and others in the meâ€" tropolitan Chicago area indicates that the cost of this service to their taxpayers varies, based on $100 of assessed valuation from .125 to .20, It is true that most of these subâ€" urban communittes referred to are more compact as to area, which of course would have a bearing on comparative costs, but there seems to be no doubt that even at the maximum of .002 flnv::;‘z“‘ valuation the cost of servâ€" icing Highland Park would be well within that maximum figure. |_ It would be my recommendation, in the meantime, that a thorough survey be made of the entire situaâ€" tion relating to both the collection and disposal in order that we may install the most efficient and ecoâ€" nomical system and plant, which should develop the location of the latter in an area least offensive to our citizens. ' Mr. Arthur Swanson, candidate for commissioner, says: - "I have always been in favor of tity collection of garbage. We are paying for garbage collection now in our tax bills and do not get it but once a year when they have what they call "Cleanâ€"Up Week." The City of Highland Park mainâ€" tains a garbage plant for private individuals to dump their garbage. Other cities along the North Shore have free garbage collection and there is no reason why Highâ€" land Park cannot have the same as our neighboring cities." _ _ 4 You will also note that I am enâ€" closing a billhead of one of the gar bage collectors in which it so reads that the majority of people believe (Continued on Page 4) expression of appreciation for so great a man as Pope Pins XI, who passed away early last Friâ€" day morning. ‘The City fiag hung at half mast as a tribute to his Eminâ€" ence, who had. contributed so largely to world peace.
