COOK COUNTY HERALD VOLUME 66, NUMBER 2 ENTERED A3 SECOND CLASS MATTER AT AKLINCi'I'ON UKUJUTS, ILLINOIS ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, ILL. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1937 Published Every Friday by a. o. PADDOCK: SONS $2.00 PER YEAH New Zoning Ordinance At Mt. Prospect At its November meeting; held 2, the Mount Board passed an ordinance giving it full jurisdiction over the activities of the Building Commissioner.

A committee was appointed at this meeting to begin preparation ot a new -stoning- ordinance and building code, and it is Understood the board is considering appointment of a Plan Commission composed of five or seven members independent of, but working in conjunction with the Village Hoard, Mayor I. E. Itesamler and Trustee Glmer Wilte, motored to the State Capital at Springfield last Thursday, November 4. and spent Thursday und Friday conferring with State Highway omduls. The purpose of the trip was to get the State Highway officials to agree to permit our Village to use its share of the Ci-as Tax funds for street lights and signs.

It was originally proposed that the Village's share of this fund be used to widen the highways a few feet--but the Mayor, and the members of the Village board, feel that converting the money to the erection of street lights and signs would bo putting the money to better use. Wider highways would, of course, benefit traffic, but would be of no particular advantage to the munici- pality. If wo can use tho money for lights and signs, a very much needed improvement would be accomplished. Vytiile this trip was only preliminary conference indications are that the State Highway ollk'iuls are inclined to cooperate with the Vil- U.go Board, of course Clus Tax Jfuiuta can bo used only on or along State highways, but if wi can get street lights and street signs on the two main highways through our town it certainly will be a big im provement.

Big Raise In Personal Assessments Discovery of "Hidden Wealth" Means Lower Tax Rate Says County Official. Local tax payers who will be required to pay personal property taxes, received copies this week of the property assessment roll as determined by the office of the County Assessor. In an announcement in the Chicago press, the assessor has claimed that the tax rate for 1937 in many parts of Cook county will drop 16 per cent due to the discovery of previously hidden wealth. Assessor John S. Clark has been using income tax returns to discover the intangibles (stocks, bonds and cash) which were omitted by their holders on their 1936 personal property schedules.

In assessing stocks, bonds, and cash, Mr. Clark's office debases the full value by 80 per cent, then applies the 37 per cent equalization factor in order to determine the assessed valuation. For example, on intangibles with a market value of $100,000, the assessed value would be 57,400. The effect of a lower tax rate in the suburban towns due to higher personal property assessments, may act as a bomerang upon local taxing bodies, If the higher personal property taxes are paid, the tax payers, the taxing bodies will not suffer by a lower rate. If the individuals simply do not pay, and with the lower rate for real estate tax payers (who do pay their taxes) the local taxing bodies will be holding the bag.

According to the published list for the village of Arlington Heights, there were less than six individual owned business houses who did not file a schedule. Only half of the corporations filed, however, and there are some rather high assessments against them. Only seventy-one individuals filed schedules, while fifty-one took a chance and let the assessor guess at their wealth. There are a total of 96 business houses in Arlington Heights assessed for personal property taxes, as compared with only 113 residents who are assessed. This is another example of the local tax load that the business man must bear, and which many residents forget about when they patronize business houses of other towns.

The Illinois Bell Telephone the Public Service continue to be the largest tax payers in the township. However, there are some private individuals who, under the new assessment method, will be asked to pay over $iy)00 personal property taxes. Commencing last year the assessor's office "marked off" all assessments for individuals owning $400 of property, or less. Noble J. Puffer Delivers Addresses This Week Noble J.

The comfort of the patrons is also to receive attention and changes are being made in the heating and ventilating equipment. In the spring a new cooling unit will be installed. Mr.

Terry, the local manager, invites suggestions from patrons at all times. He believes that Palatine's movie house will be an increasing factor to the community as the community in turn patronizes its programs. "Our programs are going to be well worth while," says Mr. Terry. The attraction for Sunday is "You Can't Have Everything," a rollicking musical.

attending public schools in Arlington Heights and Mount Prospect, compared with 606 who are attending the so-called parochial or church schools. If Mr. Taxpayer is prone to kick about his school tax, he should stop a moment and think what his taxes would be if the load of educating all of the children in the high school district was thrown upon the public school system. A. M.

Conger, principal of the Arlington Heights high school recently prepared a survey of individual class enrollment in the schools from which high school freshmen classes are recruited. As a result of that survey he was able to advise the high school board of education that there is no indication that the high school enrollment will pass the 500 mark in a number of years and present facilities at the high school will be able to care for anticipated enrollments. The six schools included in the survey are Arlington Heights public school, Arlington Heights Lutheran school, Arlington Heights Catholic school, Mt. Prospect public school, Mt. Prospect Lutheran and the Elk Grove Lutheran schools.

Their total enrollment is 1191. Mr. Conger uses the same method every year in making plans for the next year and records on file show only a variance of less than five in each high school class, either above or below of Mr. Conger's estimate. In the latest report there is shown that out of 132 who completed the eighth grade in their respective schools last June, lit entered high school.

The total in all grades in September, 1937, is 25 more than a year ago, while there is only one more student in the eighth grade today than there was a year ago. In no grade does the present enrollment show a difference from a year ago, greater than 25 or less than 20 pupils. The grade having the largest enrollment is number two with 168, while there are 156 primary children in the district. The respective enrollments in the schools are Arlington public, 438; Arlington Lutheran, 251; Arlington Catholic, 159; Mt. Prospect public 147; Mt.

Prospect Lutheran, 118; Elk Grove Lutheran, 78. Burglaries Increase In Mount Prospect Sub. Burglaries continue to plague the residents in the Smith and Dawson subdivision near Mt. Prospect on Eimhurst road. The home of Carl Ehrlick, R.

Million Dollar Mink Show At Elgin, December 6,7,8 A million dollar mink show will be held at the Masonic Temple In Elgin, December 6, 7, and 8. Some thousand live mink are being brought from Canada and the States for display and judging. Judging and grading by Mink experts sent by the New York fur auction company will take place Monday from 9 to 4. The public is invited to attend the show and see the largest display of mink ever assembled. Monday evening a banquet and talks by prominent mink breeders will be held.

Besides the judging on Tuesday, a brilliant mink style show is on the evening program, the first of its kind in this country. Leading manufacturers will display the finest mink garments ever exhibited. A feature of the demonstration will be the showing of many old mink garments of a century ago. The final judging and awarding of ribbons and prizes will be held Wednesday with another style show to close the unusual three day spectacle. Admission to the mink show will be twenty-five cents.

It includes a review of approximately 1,000 live mink, equipment, and pens, and entitles the visitor to view the rarest of garments. Total investment of animals in the show will-approximate $500,000. Radio station WLS is planning to broadcast the judging and grading of animals and the style show each evening. Otto H. Grosse, Norwood Fox Farm, Gary, is chairman of the mink show.

It was through his efforts that it has been brought to Elgin instead of some other large city. Fur farming has made rapid strides the last several years because of the increased shortage of fur bearing animals in the wild state. Many farmers and dairymen have become silver fox and mink breeders, starting with only a few animals until they have increased their acreage several times, covered their farms with animal pens, and employed many more men..
