PARK PAVING
SQUABBLE WAKES WARM
Second Special Election viii Be Held
Next Friday-CounciI Party Con-
fdent of WinninQ.

With the second special election on
the question of issuing $4,000 worth
or bonds TO repave Woodward-ave. In
Highland Park, only week away,
both sides to the controversy are put
ting forth. their best efforts to win.
On the one side are the members OF
the village council. who stand as
unit In favor of the bond issue, and
a substantial following OF citizens, who
feel that the councils plan offers the
only reasonable means of securing
what everyone comedies Is necessary,
new pavement. Arrayed against
them are a number Of taxpayers. head
ed by ex-Councilman Frank Holznagle,
who contend that the most economical
plan would be merely to repave the
pavement now; where most needed,
then let the city do the repaving with
its own asphalt plant after the village
is annexed
The fact that the bonding PROPOSE.
ton received majority of the votes
cast at the special election of May IL
and lacked only II votes OF receiving
the necessary two-thirds OF all the
votes cast has encouraged the council
faction TO hope for success in the cleo
ton, next Friday. The councils atti-
tude is fully expressed in a circular
now being distributed through the
village.
The circular points out that, If
bonds are issued, first class pave
ment can be built. the cost TO be
spread over the life OF the pavement.
II Highland Park remains village It
pays for the pavement; If annexed TO

and pays its share of the cost.
Under the law, the village could as
sess the abutting property owners, but
this, II is pointed out, would mean In.
junction proceedings and d delay in
the work for probably year. Or If
recourse be had to a direct tax, only
patching job could be done and the
pavement, II is argued, is not worth
patching. II is worn out, and money
spent for patching would be money
thrown away. the council contends.
Besides, 1t is argued. patching would
make the tax rate as high for this
year as IL would be If bonds are Issued
and a permanent job done.
Before the last election the council
pledged itself TO the bitulithic pave
ment. 1t now pledges itself to get the
best pavement at the least possible
cost whether il be bithulithic or
some other kind.
Women who pay taxes may vote at
this election. provided they go TO the
polls. Saturday and register Only a
80 per cent vote was cast May IL. but
much larger one is looked for on
May 2S.
Members of the opposition say that
many citizens OF the north end OF the
village refrained from voting at the
last election. believing that their votes
were not necessary 10 defeat the bond.

ably be made to get them TO the polls

worrying. however.
