Remonstrance Filed Against Prospect Heights Precinct Split
A remonstrance signed by 780 voters from South Canon and Lincoln Park was filed with the county commissioners by C F Pressey of the local anti saloon league opposing Prospect Heights petition for a separate voting precinct. Opponents argue the move would preserve a licensed saloon, contrary to local option sentiment. Only about 1,000 votes were cast in the area last election, and the large opposition indicates strong stance against creating a new precinct to undermine local option law.
