YOLUME XXX Monday evening‘s council meeting was what one might term a news reporters delight. . There . was enough material in evidence to m vide the subject matter of a a dozen columns. However, as available space is somewhat limâ€" ited, the highlights only will be disâ€" cussed here at this time with the promise to elaborate more in deâ€" tail at a later date. ‘The taxicab stand squabble which started out as more or less a rouâ€" tine affair has grown into a quesâ€" tion of citywide interest. It apâ€" pears that the disgruntled cab drivâ€" ers who objected to the city movâ€" ing their stand from Central to St. Johns avenue have circulated a peâ€" tition around town to put the conâ€" troversy up to a referendum vote. The petition containing some 600 odd signatures was presented to the souncil at this week‘s meeting. When the petition was read by the city clerk, Commissioner Swanâ€" son moved that it be tabled until the council‘s next regular meeting and in the meantime he asked that the city attorney investigate the authenticity of many of the signaâ€" tures on the document. It is the city‘s belief that all the signatures .ppearing on the petition were not signed by the persons designated thereon. It is also the city‘s conâ€" tention that many of the signers were not completely aware of the nature of the petition to which they had affixed their names. Boiled down to a few words the difference between the cab drivers and the city can be summed up as follows. The drivers contend that moving the stand to St. Johns aveâ€" nue has cost them a considerable amount of business through placing them in a less accessible spot. The city states that this argument will be largely nullified when negotaiâ€" tions are completed with the North Western railroad to allow six cabs to be placed on its property just west of the tracks and north of every angle of safety and propriéâ€" ty moving the stand was distinetly performing a public service. It holds that the welfare of the city as a whole far outweighs the conâ€" tentions of a few cab drivers. The law states that upon the petition of 600 or more citizens the question can be brought to a public vote. However, it must be pointed out here that such a procedure will cost the taxpayers in the neighborâ€" hood of $1,200. Whether a matter which surely should be settled in a routine manner is worth this exâ€" pense is questionable. The city will endeavor to prove that the petition is not entirely authentic. If it fails the matter will be put to a vote. If it succeeds in proving some of the signatures are not according to Hoyle it‘s going to go hard with the guilty ones. The fast growing tendency in the city of reâ€"subdividing large acreâ€" age into smaller lots is causing no little concern among those people in the community who are anxious to retain as much of the original charm and beauty of the town as possible. This practice was again brought to the attention of the comâ€" munity on Monday when the counâ€" cil was asked to approve a reâ€"subâ€" division plat involving property on Hazel and Lake avenues. The ownâ€" er of this land wants to divide it up into eight parcels of ground, and while this action is completely within the present zoning laws, it reflects a distinct change in propâ€" erty characteristics in that neighâ€" borhood. â€" The city is planning to revise its zoning laws in an effort to prevent the tendency to reâ€"subdivide existâ€" out of hand. A tentative ordinance as read to the council by Commisâ€" sioner Bowes would prevent reâ€"subâ€" dividing activities that would create lots smaller than the average in the that the minimunt requirements did not exceed oneâ€"half aere. This orâ€" dinance was promised to be preâ€" sented to the council for action at The non or poor performance of septic tanks in certain areas of the community was brought up before the council for discussion. Deplorâ€" able as the fact is, it appears that the comp‘ete solution of this probâ€" lem is going to have to wait the installation of an adequate sewer system in the city.

The calendar committee of the newly organized Highland Park Coâ€"Ordinâ€" ating Council will then arrange all of the information on the cn.lendu.‘ Nearby towns have enjoyed the adâ€" vantages of such a calendar for sevâ€" eral years.

He <anâ€" nounced that no great changes Wrill take place in the department, and remarked: "I am proud of beifig appointed head of an organization with such gooc standing and repéâ€" tation." Traveling an average of 75,000 miles annually, Chief Andrews said he has visited many states, besides Canada and Mexico, but that most of his sojourns and jaunts were im Wisconsin. "I wear out a car as fast as a pair of shoes," commented Andrews. (Incidentally, he stipul« ated that the latter remark did not connotate speeding, but extensive "Patrolling all of Highland Park with frequent coverage of the I ly populated sections as well t sparsely populated sections is quite a job with only three squad cars," Amdrews said. ‘It seems the arc raf fom Eiila_. in'ing th; ne:ni;c";i these weekly getâ€"toâ€"gethers, Anâ€" drews pointed out that officers offer suggestions for ameliorating any conditions and present complaints originating within the organization.

"Nowadays, police departments are more or less a service, and not actual agency for the apprehension of criminals," he maintained. Probably taking the words of Richter, To form a brave man, eduâ€" cute boldly, Andrews believes that policemen should be somewhat eduâ€" cated in their own field. Friends university, University of Witchita and Northwestern are educational milestones traversed by Andrews. He possesses an extensive library on police administration, "in order to keep abreast with the latest develâ€" opments in our field," he commented. Football, basketball, track and baseball were among the sports Anâ€" drews participated in while attendâ€" ing college. "I cannot play a decent game of golf though," he chuckled. Modestly admitting that his writâ€" ings were a bit amateurish, "sort of an embryo writer . . ." the way he put it, he offered samples of his writings. They are decidedly unâ€" ammateurish and contain extremely authoritative material.

The architectural style attracts first because it is of the modern deâ€" sign in which straight lines were used to permit unrestricted ventiâ€" lation and light, so vital in the treatment of tuberculosis. It is the only hospital in the world that has been built around this motif and architects everywhere are asking for its plans and pictures.

From the equipment and mainteâ€" mance standpoint, it exemplifies the very latest and best.

Firms For Economy Propose Merger All residents of the county are invited to visit this new building which plays such a vital part in the health program of Lake county. A plan to merge the properties of the North Shore Gas company with the North Shore Coke and Chemical company was submitted last week in letters to stockholders of the two concerns. The plan must be approved by the Illinois Comâ€" merce Commission and the Securiâ€" ties and Exchange Commission at Washington before it can become effective. _ Stockholders are advised in the letter to "take no action which will interfere with the development of a corporative program looking toâ€" ward the preservation and protecâ€" tion, on a fair and equitable basis, of the interests of stockholders." It is believed by many that this is an effort to counteract the reâ€" cent drive of the Stockholders Proâ€" tective committee, which asked that stockholders join with the commitâ€" tee in an effort to force a change in the financial setup of the gas company. _ 8 public is $4,648,000 of original issue of $5,100,000 of Joint First Mortâ€" gage 4% bonds of the gas company and the Coke company, which maâ€" ture Jan. 1, 1942.

Kunath Dies In Plane Crash Near Round Lake ‘Two Northbrook residents, one a former Highland Park resident, morning when the small monoplane in which they were flying crashed from about 400 feet into a clover field near Round Lake a mile north of Hainesville on Renehan road.

According to deputies from Sherâ€" iff Kennedy‘s office, Kunath and Zimâ€" merman dirst landed in the clover field at about 8 a.m. and went to Tony‘s Farm Inn nearby where they had a cup of coffee and visited with the proprietor, Tony Jocius, and his wife Rhoda. After having their coffee the two fliers left forâ€" the plane, while Mr. and Mrs. Jocius, and Miss Catherine Sheahen, 2944 Logan bouldevard, Chicago, stood on the porch of the inn to watch the take off. According to the witnesses, shortly after the plane took off, Kunath appeared to be having trouâ€" ble with the motor and the plane failed to gain sufficient altitude to clear some trees at the south edge of the field. The plane was heading southward, as Kunath had planned to return to the Northwest airport on Milwaukee avenue and Greenâ€" wood road, south of Wheeling, where he was manager and flying instructor.

There was no fire. The Jociuses and Miss Sheahen ran across the field to the plane while Robert Knitter of Chicago, staying at a summer cottage nearâ€" by, also ran to the plane. _© _ children, John 2% years old, and twins, a boy and a girl, four months old, surviving.
