12 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1920 SKOKIE DECISION TO BE MADE WEDNESDAY Local Sponsors Believe Plan Com- mittee Will Return Favorable Decision on Project The status of Skokie valley-- whether it is to become a part of the Forest Preserve and retain its natural beauties for future genera- tions of Chicago and its suburbs, or whether it will be unprotected against the inroads of commercial enterprise-- will be known Wednes- day, March 17. On that day the Plan Committee of the Forest Preserve Commission will render its decision to the County commissioners, either recommending the purchase of the magnificent val- ley as Chicago's playground of 1950, or opposing the transaction. That the Plan Committee will re- turn a favorable decision is the firm opinion of every member of the Sko- kie Preservation association, which is composed of residents of Wilmette, Kenilworth, Winnetka, Glencoe, and other sections of New Trier township. The association, in its fight, has answered satisfactorily every argu- ment that could be present in oppo- sition of the plan, and the manner that the township has supported the project has been very gratifying to the members of the association. When the matter of preserving the Skokie property first came to a head, the task of the association was a difficult one, as very few residents of the north shore or Chicago were aware of the possibilities of this rare valley. Headed by the late William G. Hibbard, Jr., the members of the association set out to acquaint the residents with their plan. From there the fight was taken up to the Forest Preserve Commission and at the two public hearings held recently in Chi- cago, the north shore was represent- ed by officials and scores of interest- ed residents of the township. That the people of Chicago have them- selves realized the great benefits to be derived in future years from this great natural playground, has serv- ed in this last drive as a spur to the local workers, who, headed by Wil- liam S. Elliott, have worked incess- antly to secure favorable action by the commissioners. Civic, financial, political and busi- |' ness leaders of Chicago have flocked to the offices of the Plan Committee, presenting numerous arguments for the immediate purchase of the prop- erty. Chief among these were Har- old McCormick, Victor Lawson, Os- car Foreman, and others. With practically a unanimous support of leaders in Cook County affairs, the local association is confident that the decision will be favorable. LAST RITES HELD MONDAY FOR R. W. BODDINGHOUSE Funeral services for Richard W. Boddinghouse, secretary of the Chi- cago Title and Trust company, who died suddenly Wednesday night, March 3, were held from Graceland chapel last Monday at 2 o'clock. The services were simple and interment followed shortly at Graceland ceme- tery. The death of Mr. Boddinghouse, who was for more than 20 years a resident of Wilmette, marks the pass- ing of one of New Trier Township's most able leaders. As president of the High School Board of Educa- tion, Mr. Boddinghouse took an act- ive interest in all township affairs, until he Became a Chicago resident. His home there was at 1333 Rosedale avenue. He has been connected with the Title anid Trust company from the days of its infancy as an execut- ive and authority on real estate law, Mr. Boddinghouse's death will be a genuine loss to the firm. Mr. Bod- dinghouse was also professor of real estate law at Kent College. He is survived by his widow and two sons --Emmons, 27, and Sidney, 30.
