We have felt, and said, that property owners should expect to pay for the services they want and that an increased tax bill should be a cause for evaluating the services received for the tax dollar rather than a cause for immediate and loud lamentation because of its size. It was easy for us to maintain that detached viewpoint, because as a tenant, we were on the sidelines, so to speak, and paid property taxes only indirectly. Now that we are about to become a property owner, we suspect that the days of that detached view point are definitely numbered, and we foresee the day when it will sit at our table like Banquo‘s ghost.

Increased welfare needs and mounting operating costs make this increase imperaâ€" tive. One of the prime factors in the increased budget is the needs of the Highland Park Hospital which requires more help from the Community Fund because of increased cost of service during the current construction program. It is for this reason that the Board of Directors of the Comâ€" munity Chest approved an inâ€" crease of $5,000 for the Hospital to defray its operating deficit. "Actually, if it weren‘t for the Community Chest," stated Mr. Keare, "we Highland Parkers would be called upon to make 12 separate donations to worthy orâ€" ganizations. However, your one contribution to the Chest enables you to help all 12 at once! So when you make your pledge, won‘t you please bear in mind that you‘re benefiting 12 carses, all of which are vital to our own comâ€" munity,."
