Willmette park board is owing it a sum in the neighborhood of $1,500 for water supplied at the village parks, but it adds that the park board won't "pay up." Defsding themselves, members- of the park body say the water was used for village purposes, so why should they pay for it? But the village trustees won't accept that logic. They retort that Wilmette pays the City of Evanston for every drop of water it gets and that if any part of that supply goes to the parks, the parks must pay for it-et least as much as it costs the village. The biJJ of $1,500 is aJJeged to be due for the quarter ending in October, 1923. When the matter came up at the trustees' · ht, a count of noses meeting, T uesday ntg showed that every man on the board was for the coJlection of that debt. After some deliberation it was decided to have President Edward Zipf act as the village's envoy in the matter, and he promised to lose no time in bringing the "delinquent" park board to terms.
