President Zip£ announced, Wednesday, that Mr. Baker's point had been sustained, thus the widening of Wilmette and Central avenues wa s again delayed, but only temporarily, it is claimed, for friends of the movement declare their program will be put over at the first opportunity. Truat-· are Cenaured Th e tru stees' action was th e topic of ge neral di sc ussion on Wednesday and yesterday. Business men viewed it as an ill omen for the village. "Blocs in the council," said one prominent man who merely voiced the popular se ntiment, "will halt all progress for the future. We are confronted by an unfortunate condition. Some of our tru stees in their desire to rule or ruin forget the communi.ty's interests a nd ignore their duties to the people who honored them by election. Such a condition cannot last long. The public won't stand for that sort of tactic s. The village's interests are paramount. ff some street tragedy happen s while thi s fight for 'safety first' on the st reets is in progress, the obstructionists on the hoard will be faced with the responsihility."

Cars stationed on the west side of Central avenue were parked correctly at a 45 degree angle to the curbing while several others on the east side were parked parallel with the curbing, affording a lane for moving traffic that would require the agility of an Houdini to negotiate. "There's a concrete argument for widened thoroughfares," commented a witness of the unavoidable crash. "When do we get that 40-foot through highway to supplant this relic of another age?" To which came the eehe, "Yes, when?" SUMMER SPECIALTIES Cold Boiled Ham-Sliced-Special, lb.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
