Prewar Secretary. Chairman lubtwrd briefly recited the difficulties under which the present village organization waa laboring, and are the reasons which shonld make division commend itself to the people. Attention waa called to a bill prepared by President FaUansboe, which It was desired the Legislature should pass, This gave a majority of the people ot Hyde Park the right to decide at the pou wnetner tney were for division er not. This bill waa most oommena able, and its passage should be urged. Mr.

HIbbard further stated that while no specific plan of dlviaioa was before the meeting, the idea was to make from the present Tillage three municipal ties, one to be called Pullman, another booth Chicago, and the third Hyue Park, btouey Island avenue is generally aoeeptea as tne proper east and west dividir line, and Eighty seventh street or berenir ftret street bare ueea talked ot lor toe north and sooth line. The question of the village debt, its apportionment so as to enable each part to aiTiT its own share in the event of division, the ownershlD of the water worka and other Til lags property, can be readily disposed of by a board ot arbitrators composed ox disti xtartiea Dongiaa Taylor, of South Chicago, did not see the way clear lor division, lie thought that the plans proposed made south Chicago assume large proportion of the present bonded debt contended that his section ot the town had He re solved no benefits from the creation' of the in debtednees, and should not be held for the pay ment of any. 'Still, bow to divide and apportion the indebtedness equitably puzzled bun. Mr. Pullman explained his position.

He favored dividing Hyde Park into three psrta. That was the true interest of every one in Hyde Park. The interests of the villase were so diversihed in character, the extent of the territory so great, and the work ao much that the present plan of bavins six men look after all to) business of the village Hot in accord, with their best interests. It la evident that a chance in the form of the municipal government will soon take place. The queotton SDpesra to have resolved itself Into whether there will be division or city organization.

The idea ot making a city of Hyde Park tallica with it suggestions of high taxes, rings. and attendant evils. By separating the different aeotlof and giving each a simple Tillage form of manufacturers will be induced to locate in Sooth Chicago and Pullman much more Ssadtly than in Hyde Park as a city. The Cala snet regloa Is already noted for the attractions which It holds out to manufacturers who wish to locate at a point where taxes are light and faclll Ae4or the conduct of their business nnex ccpttoaaL Onder separate organisations South Chicago and Pullman would be engaged in friendly rivalry, Each town would endeavor to attract aa much outside capital as possible, and won id bold forth aa inducements light ta ratten and honest, capable government, while either Tillage would reap Immediate bench ta from the locating of any new enterprises in lta midst, the advancement of one would be ot ma acial assistance to the other. Mr.

Pailman cited several interesting Incidents nding to show now manufacturers generally took with disapproval upon the ordinary city government, and dosed by expressing thejMlief divlston of the village luto three parte would result in tne eaiaftiisament 01 urea ajtrong. healthy municipalities, which would add gresuy to the weauti ana popuiauon of tbi whole township.
