MOKENA. Ill. Jan. 12. "New Liberia," the Negro settlement proposed to be established in Will County, is reported to be assuming definite form. One thousand acres of land have been secured by option and a payment of $20,000 on account before the end of the option period is said to be in sight. Much more land will be available for the settlement, it is understood. The New Liberia Development Company has been organized for the purpose of providing rural homes and employment for the Negroes of Chicago who wish to leave the metropolis. Plans call for the laying out of farms for those who wish to engage in agriculture and the establishment of industries for those who prefer factory work. Promoters believe fully 30,000 Negroes will be attracted to the settlement. They are planning a modern city with schools, churches, paved streets, power system and public utilities, to be surrounded by highly developed farms. Residents of Mokens, Frankfort and New Lenox are reported to be alarmed of the possibility of a large Negro settlement springing up at their doors, fearing it will lessen the value of their property.
