Already the forest preserve to the west comprises some 16,000 acres of natural woodland that has become a mecca for nature lovers and pic- nickers during the summer months. With the growth and development of the city of Chicago and the north shore towns it becomes more and [ 1 be extended so that future genera- tions may have, as does the present, an accessible and adequate breathing spot and recreation center. When First Suggested The plan for the purchase of the Skokie valley was first suggested and furthered by the body known as the Chicago plan commission and headed by Charles H. Wacker. This commission published the plans for the acquisition of this land and held several public hearings at which the proposition pro and con was thor- oughly thrashed out. The opponents of the plan in the hearings in the county board rooms in the court house last February urged that this fertile tract be pre- served in private ownership for cul- tivation and habitation. Skokie, a filled in swamp, is,along itsedges and extending each year further into the center a garden spot, wonderfully fertile. The many possibilities for production, aided by its proximity to | the great commercial center and rail- ways, argued against its purchase. It was argued, however, that the necessity of extending the limits of the forest preserves with the growth of the lake cities was an imperative one. Skokie valley can now be pur- Zanelli chased at a reasonable price and it was finally decided to go ahead with the deal. The report of the plan committee was submitted to the board of forest preserve commissioners on March 29. The report was unanimously adopted and the purchase authorized. At the same time a special com- mittee was appointed, charged with the duty of studying the "details of the question of acquisition of the Skokie valley acreage, of working out a definite and detailed plan as to the extent and boundaries of the land to be acquired," and then to submit a report of such recommendations to the board. This special committee consisted of Dwight H. Perkins, W. D. Wash- burn, Hubert W. Butler, W. S. Elliott, Ransom E. Kennicott and Emmett J. Flavin.. Mr. Perkins is a member of the plan commission. Mr. Kennicott and Mrs. Flavin « are, respectively. chief forester and chief engineer of the forest preserve district and Messrs. Washburn, Elliott and Butler represent individuals and organiza- tions which presented their views at the public hearings held during February. The subcommittee took the matter up and after looking over the grounds submitted their recommend- ations to the board of commissioners. This report now in the hands of the board is under consideration and ac- tion on the matter is expected to be taken within the next two weeks.
