_ _ Ehe Lake Cmmmty Renister MILWAUKEE AVE. CEMENT €ONTRACT LET sEVENTY--SECOND YEAR-- NO. 29 The state department of puble works and buildings this week an-- né@unced the awarding of the con-- tracts of Milwaukee avenue paving from Wheeling north to Liberty-- ville town limits, and from Lake Villa south for a distance of two and taree--quarter miles. struction Company, Reason for Delay in Other Sections | The entire strip of highway on the Milwaukee road from the Cook county line on the south to the Wisconsin state line on the north, would be included in the contract for the paving granted for sections 1 and 4, but sections 2 and 3 are being held up through lack of prop-- er right of way. . These sections should have been included in . the contract givem to the White com-- y in the opening of bids on z'ch 31, but the®right of way way through Libertyville and Grays lake has not been obtained and the state will net let the" work for con-- Wact until all right of way ques tions are settled. Section 6, through Antioch, was obtained yesterday and Charles E. Russell, county superintendent . of highways, believes that section 6 of route 21 will be included in the next must be accurately and equaily spread to prevent being held up by court. Objectors here are already marshalling their forces to disclose twno{mmoodplu will not stand the scrutiny of the court in a final effort to hold up the improverment. Only recently the Zion City cement improvement was helid up in court because the Independents disclosed where they had been discriminated against in *¥e spreading of the assesament out *moflees of assessment oefore the final Hearing in the county court. It will probably take some time to the village of Libertyville was passed by a unanimous vote of that avenue property owners It is hoped that tae hearing can be set fo part of next month so Inge can advertise for hearing can be set for the early part of next month so that the vil-- Inge can advertise for bids and lei the contract in time so the work can be started in the village limits before the Wheeling to Libertyville stzetch will be opemed up for traffic. Another important feature for an early hearing can be found im the fact that communities all over the state are pressing their claims for cement roads under the $60,000, @00 bond issue program as it is kwown that the $60,000,000 will not bwild nearly all of the roads orgin-- ally planned under this sond issue. After the money is spent additional legislation will have to be enacted before the entire program can be Miection Resuit Will Have Bearing In Court In all probility the result of the coming village election will have a direct bearing on the decision of tke court when the cement road im-- provement comes up for hearing. For the first election in a long time the voters of the village are called upon to decide an issue--the in-- dividuality of the various candidates being eclipged by the platform they have adopted. And it is entirely reasonable to ? that the court will not sustain improvement if the majority of the residents signify their disapproval at the election next Tuesday. Many queer incidents have come to light sincée the Legion's campaign to provide jobs for ex--soidiers started, One of the strangest was that of an Omaha, Neb., men who sold a pint of his biood for $25 in coreder that he might buy the necessities of life for his wife and two children. The next step will be to spread the mpsement roll against Milwaukee roll as it YWME®! The Tax Payers party has as an interest in the welfare of e yville, as the Progressive y Tilims it has, and the cand> fi':: dates selected 5y the Tax Payers o w'mym'-llubletocopewithnny of that; situation that may arise, and in the | question of improvements will al-- | ways stand up for the best interesu» read the | of the people and the progress of the l""bf community as a whole. To correct the erroneous rumors and propaganda that Ahave been cir-- culated with reference to the candi-- dates on the Tax Payer's ticket for the coming village election, it is only fair that the voters should be ap-- prised of some of the real facts that enter into the case. Judging from the article appear-- ing in the last issue of the Register, contributed by the Progressive party, they would like tre voters of Libertyville to believe that the Mil-- waukee avenue cement road is the main issue in the coming election, and that a vote for the Tax Payer's ticket was a vote amgainst the im-- provement .This is ppurely campaign '._The members of the Village board | are, or should be, the servants of the people, and put on the board to look after the people's interests. We were handed a nice big lemon when we got the famous water--proo! storm sewer, and we think it best to guard 'udnlt a repetition of an act of sitmilar nature. The Tax Payers Tax Payers Party Present Their Platftorm buncomb, meant to create a false impression in the minds of the The Tax Payers party is no: against the Milwaukee avenze im--| provement. This pavement will go| through regardless of who is elected, | but you must bear in mind that in | a very short time the question of | paving all the side streets of Lib-- | ertyville will come up. Don't you | think it fair that both side« should be represented on . your village* board, instead of letting it go over | as a one sided affair? " There are two sides to . every| question, and we believe that thel voters of Libertyville are intelligent | enough to think for themselves and ' decide what they want, and what is best for our town, providing they get a thorough understanding as regards the true state of affair®. The Lake county road and bridge committee and the Lake county superintendent of nighways have been working in the State Highway | Department for years, on different| road -- propositions, but in . this| particular improvement for Liberty--| ville they have never been conaulted." Neither were the property ownera, who, according to a statement in the last issue of the Register, would have to pay 90 per cent of tae total cost. With three tickets on the ballot in the coming village election next Tuesday, many mutilated ballots are liable to result if bal-- lots are not prm'ly marked. In order to keep Library board trustees out of the cement road battle, the two cnndldsg were filed under a separate ticket and shown on the ballot as the Inde-- pendent Party. This party has no candidates for the village board. More than one (X) in the large circles at the head of the tickets will cause your ballot to be thrown out. The best method will be to mark your (X) 'n the cirelé for either the Progressive Party o> the Tax Payers Party, whichever issue you--are in favor of, and then mark your (X) in the squares opposite each Library Boeard Can-- didates narze. A copy of the ballot is publish-- ed in this paper on page four. When the village ooar| of Lab-- ertyville decided to make this im-- provement they did not take the tax payers into their confidence be-- fore they took definite steps in pass-- ing the present plan. We want the pavement to go through, and stand ready to co--operate with the ci'izens of Libertyville to get it through on a plan satisfactory to the majority of the people. vides, according to the ordinance,| that a certain portion of the cost of this improvement be assessed _ to | Public Benefit. This means that the general taxes of Libertyville will be | raised thousands of dollars each year .which fact ought to be of interest to other tax payers besides those living on Milwaukee avenue.| AVOID MUTILATED BALLOTS IN VILLAGE ELECTION There is another question to D* considered.
