Phillips,.who bas devotedly and un- selfishly busied himself with village aiffairs. I'have knowVn Mr. Philli*s inti- mately for very. many-,years. I re- member bis attitude on automobile traffic invading residential stre ets when ble lived, in Rogers Park,, and 1. ived in -Edgewater. Tbose 'were tbe days when some of'us in Chi- cago had the teînerity to*suggest that nlortb-bound traffic 'be routed via Broadway instead of Sheridan.road, thereby preserving as a residential. street and neighborhood. that sec- tion nortb of Foster and south of Devon avenue. This suggestion f ail- ed.ý Wbat was the result? Fine ,iouses were. deserted, property val- usfor single resîdences detireased, vacant lots were opened up for>apart- ments, new buildings were built that offered unfair competition to older districts and which from the very unwarranited creation went into re- ceivership and worse and finally the unforgiveable sin of democracy was committed inibasing- valuations' 9for tax purposes on -a. theoretical. basis Out of line with- thé usefulness of the property and ini very many in- stances amounting to confiscation. Why bring this to your noticew It as înentioned we had ani atteml)t that was anialogous to this situation righit here ina Wilmiette. The Village plan that was the issue ini the Dubhs elec- tion and the.plot whichi exists todav mith my fricnds ini the Chicago Re- gional Plan commission sponsoring it is exactlv the samne thing and so far as Michigan avenue is conicerned "they shal not pass,?" Sheridan road ina the north shore towns, should flot be made a speedway. Routes 41. and 42 sbould- turn certainly not farther north 'than South. boulevard, Evanston. to the west to the new Skokie boulevard and speeded north onî that .highway out into thieopeni country. To.allow the Chicago Re- gional Plan commission power or ina- fluenice or botb to overricle or ignore the riglits or wishes of local residents not ours, but i.wflVU theresultant ta burden throws, property by tbe wholesale into bankruptcy, we cani at least take notice of it. Very few pedestrians cornpared with motor ve- bidles use Lincoln Park especially the néwly made districts, and surely it was high time that the, gas tax footed the buIs gfor the speedways. These. promotional, enterprises -have value for the eye, but their value to the peace -of mind of property on ers can and wi1Ill be debated. . Let us be fair. Let us bie good sports. Let tbere lie free and frank discussion of village aiffairs,, esp e- cially wben the issue 15 so plain in its' effects upon those Who would like to ive without interference 1w a tax-mrad bureaucracv.
