High Laws Objections to Highland Park Land Purchases
The judge objects to buying more land for Highland Park arguing the resolutions are misrepresented light agreements binding the city to purchase five acres from E M Bigelow for 365000 fourteen acres from William Flinn at 7534.16 per acre and three tracts totaling about 48 acres from Charles Lockhart at 2538 21 per acre totaling 241000. He says no need to spend nearly 250000 now and favors smaller local parks near Southside instead of a large central park. He urges delaying or limiting expenditures until next year’s appropriation and prioritizing parks near the people.
