WAUWATOSA CITIZENS OPPOSED
TO ERECTION OF AMUSE-
MENT PARK

Residents Of Wauwatosa in the VI
cinity Of Castalia park, are opposing
the plan to convert that property into
an amusement place or "White City,
AT recent meeting a committee
headed by August C. Sehrt, 332 Cedar
street, Wauwatosa, was appointed to
take action to oppose the scheme.
Under the zoning ordinance adopted
Ly Wauwatosa, Castalia parx Is IN 4
residential district and the proposed
amusement features cannot be erected
or operated. The persons backing the
amusement venture will appear before
the city planning commission of Wau-
watosa, Dec. a, to attempt to have the
coming ordnance modified or amended
to permit their plan to be put into
execution. The committee headed by
Mr.. Sehrt and others interested. will
appear in opposition.
Castalia Park is north Of Wells
street, between that street and the Me-
nominie valley, and west of the E,.w-
ley road. 1t adjoins a high grade
residential district which would be
damaged by the nearness Of the pro-
posed amusement place, it is said.
AS a real estate man, IL is my
opinion" said Mr.. Sehrt. that the
property within quarter of a mile
around such an amusement park
would be ruined for residential pur-
poses, for which that district is admir-
ably located and is being developed.
Residents and property owners in that
part Of Wauwatosa are strongly op-
posed to permitting an amusement
park to be placed there.
"The proposed plan will also inter-
fere with the project of the county
park commission for parked drive
way through the tract. This driveway
will be valuable improvement and
will assist materially in developing a
splendid residential district along it."

can easily have them betterd by pay
ing more money for these services.
And now comes the question:
Why does Milwaukee City want TO
annex all the small cities in Milwaukee
County?
1t looks very much as though the
civic bodies of Milwaukee merely want
the city to spread out and be bigger
just to be bigger. It is argued that
majority of the men who live in
Wauwatosa make their living in Mil
waukee--hence these men should hail
with JOY the proposed annexation. 1t
Is true that great many business
men who live in the suburban cities
do have business connections in Mil
waukee. 1t is also true that these men
contribute their full share to the sup
port of Milwaukee, by paying taxes
on their business enterprises into the
Milwaukee City Treasury For the
most part these men like to do busi-
ness in Milwaukee, but they like to
live in the small towns because they
enjoy the small town atmosphere, the
close neighborly contact which is to-
tally lacking in large cities--and that
]. IS a very good reason why they should
be allowed to continue to maintain
the integrity of the small town-and
especially so when annexation to the
city is totally unnecessary to supply
physical requirements.
1t is equally true that some of the
territory between Milwaukee and the
outlying municipalities should become
part of the city of Milwaukee, espe-
cially the territory which depends on
Milwaukee for its water supply and
its fire protection. There is certainly
room for Improvement in the govern
ing of the so-called township terri
tory" where the government is being
conducted without charter, and in
some localities with apparently little
regard for law and order, and it is
quite evident that the annexation of
such territory to either the city Of
Milwaukee or to the smaller cities in
the County viii tend to improve con-
ditions materially; but when MilwaiI-
kee tries to grab off the well organized
cities in the County, it is going too
far, and we people of Wauwatosa
should wake up and realize the seri-
BUSINESS of the menace which confronts
US.

WHY ANNEXATION2

The second question on our list is
what Is Annexation" What does
it mean to the small cities adjacent to
large centers?"
Annexation is purely and simply
political confscation. 1t has the same
political significance as does the COB
bling up of small nations by large and
powerful neighbors. 1t means the to-
tai humiliation of the spirit of self.
government which makes community
a self respecting unit in the scheme
of things governmental. 1t is like the
ABSORPTION, by big estate, of little
neighbors who are submerged and
eliminated by the process of absorb
tion to the end that the big may be
bigger without regard to the little
units which usually have character
istics and qualities that are most COM
mendable.
Look at Chicago and the manner of
its growth north, south and west
Everybody who admires independence,
admires the spirit of Evanston, whose
people have continuously and consist
emily combatted the idea of annexa-
tion, for the same reason that large
group of citizens of Wauwatosa have
arraigned themselves in opposition to
this program of annexation which Mill
waukee is attempting to carry out. If
Wauwatosa were to be annexed to
Milwaukee the identity of our school
system, which we agree is better in
many ways than the Milwaukee sys-
.em, would be destroyed-we would
)e subject to a Board of Education in
which we might or might not have
representation-our political govern
nent would be entirely overthrown; !;
,ur taxes might legally be used to inn
prove the streets of Bay View or any
)ther section of the city at the will
a Common Council on which we
night have one representative or we
night have none.
Our City Water Works might and
probably would be shut down and we
would be suppliea with Lake Michigan
water, wfich a. some periods of the
ear is unfit fer human consumption.
Our transportation facilities would
le no better than now and under the
soning system If charges the street
ar fare would be no lower than It
now is.
Our police department might be bet
ser-our street lighting system might
be better-our fire department might
be enlarged a considerable in
rrease in cost, and it is quite obvious,
that if we want these services i'm
proved now, without annexation, we
