OFFER TO
BUY GOLF
CLUB SITE
Cook County Commissioners
Will Probably Be Turned
Down By Country
Club Board.

The proposed purchase Of the
grounds OF the Hammond Country club
hy the Cook county board of commits
oners has found a great deal Of op-
position among stockholders Of the
club
II the Cook county commissioners are
able TO obtain the country club site
they will open the golf course TO the
public but there IS q possibility they
would restrict its use TO residents of
Illinois. At any rate. it Is pointed
out. the land would be withheld per
manently from private use
It was the original plan OF the or
ganizers OF the country club who leased
the land to use It for recreational pur-
poses until needed for the expansion
of the south side residential district
Two objects were accomplished by the
creation OF the club and golf course
Hammond was given a country club
which IT needed. and the land was
saved for a better class Of residential
building when demanded. At some fu-
ture date the country club founders
expected to move the CLUB to desir-
able site along the Little Calumet river
or even further south.
Furchase or the club property by the
forest preserve Will block the natural
erowth of the south side residence dis
trict. The large area Of the club has
been counted on as supporting ter
ritory to Holman street and has en-
tered into property values on that
thoroughfare. The south side resi-
Dental district Is blocked on the east
by the railroads and must necessarily
go south and west. Owing to lack Of
street car transportation south of Con
key avenue the natural outlet is west
Sentiment Is divided in the country
club. according to reports. While some
members see a great advantage to the
people in having a public golf course
within walking distance Of the bust
ness district. others maintain that the
land should be preserved for home
sites and that its purchase by the Cook
county commissioners will preclude Its
ever being converted into subdivisions
