WINNETKA COUNCIL HOLDS MEETING MR. J. D. COUFFER REPLIES Present Head of Village Board Favors Health Preserving Measures Discusses Sewage Ques- tion. The village election approaches in Wilmette attended with rather more .Mitement than is usually Incident to that occasion. With such impor- tant issues before the people as the diaposal of sewage for the north half of the village, and the co-operation of the village president and council with the board of health, it is natural that a greater degree of interest should be ahown than Is ordinarily the case in viAge elections. In order that the people of Wil- mette may understand from first- hand Information the attitude of Mr. j. D. Conifer on these two vital points, we publish below a letter written by him to Dr. John Segsworth, secretary of the Wilmette Physicians' club. The letter follows: », Wilmette, 111., March 26. 1913. Dr. John Segsworth, Secretary Wilmette Physicians' Club, Wilmette, 111. Dear Sir:â€"In reply to your com- munication in behalf of the Wilmette Physicians' club, asking certain ques- tion* as to my position in relation to our local board of health and its ef- forts to protect the public, in case of my re-election as president of the vil- lage, J desire to reply as follows: I ire you in favor of a local board «fHealth? Ans. Wlmette Has had a ftijara of health for many years which ||t done excellent work. It Is en- titled to our earnest support, and 1 shall give it Bucn aid as may be Ut ||y power. ' t. Will you sustain the board of lealth in its efforts to promote public hygiene? Ans. I shafti?$P%Old the board o' health in all proper efforts to promote the public health in the fu- ture as I have always endeavored to do In the past 3 What is your position on the pre- vention of infectious and contagious diseanes? Ans. I shall use every j reasonable precaution to prevent the; spread of infectious and contagious diseases, and shall be guided by the advice of the board of health in such matters. 4. Will ycru take proper and forcible mea iiit>^ to prevent dogs from run- ne at large In the village, by enforc- ing the laws relating to license and muzzling? Chapter 18, Code 1895. Ans. In May, 1912, the Wilmette Phy- sicians' club calling my attention to the fact that several children had been bitten by stray dogs in Wilmette and 4 other towns along the North Shore, and that there was a possibility of an epidemic of rabies. In compliance with a resolution adopted by the Wil- mette board of health a proclamation was issued., pursuant to the village ordinances, requiring all dogs to be muzzled or restrained. The require tents of the ordinance were prompi- . observed by the residents of Wil- mette, and as a result the citizens of toe village were relieved of this dan ger. i shall be prompt In the future to enforce the village ordinances in this regard and in all matters relating to the public welfare. 5. Are you In favor of hygiene and "Preventive medicine. Ans. Yes. 6. How do you stand on the sewerage question" Ans. For the past eighteen months the sewage from the south half of the village has been discharged Into the sanitary canal by means of Connections made at Third, Fourth *nd Plf th streets with the relief sewer. In order to discharge Into the canal toe sewage from the north half of the [Village, it will be necessary to build a sewer connecting the Forest avenue *twer with tho relief sewer west of Sheridan road bridge. It is estimated *»at such a sewer would cost about 1&.000.. -^*ke sanitary district proposes to "»Bd an Intercepting sewer along •Saarldan road connecting the sewers °* an North Shore towns in Cook President Goble and Trustees DaVis, Northrop and Heller ' Take Oath of Office.

After the discussion which followed, a motion was passed to have Trustee Rummler investigate with power to act. 1. C. Wood sent in a communication requesting better drainage on Central avenue, near Pine street. This wan referred to the new board of local im- provements. The pretent owners of the old Hetty Green property asked the privilege of connecting with the village water and light systems. They want to put a street through the property from Lin- coln avenue to Humboldt street. They were granted the privilege, provided that they give an easement tfiat will meet with the approval of the people of the village. Mr. Burling of Hubbard Woods re- quested that a four Instead of a five- foot sidewalk be laid on Walden street, in order to save cutting down of trees. The request was referred to a com- mittee. The question as to what kind of pavement should be used on Lincoln avenue caused quite a heated argu- ment. However, it was finally decided to pave wi'h asphalt macadam. After a recess M. K. Meyer admin* istered the oath of office to the newly elected officers. President Goble-- made a short speech, thanking the people for their support Trustee Davis made a reso- lution which was also adopted by the other new trustees. They pledged themselves to retain, maintain and operate the village water and light de- partments for the benefit of all the people, and that they would grant no franchise without giving the people of the village a referendum vote.
