In spite of the storrny weather of the past wéek, applications for 1940 rnoôring space are pouring in upon the officers of the Wilmette Harbor association,, a n d officiais issued again their annual staternent -that no. space is. available, for new boats. The five acres of water ini the iocaj. 1basin are inadequate to serve suchea large territory as the North Shore, it was asserted. Dliurinig 1939 accomn- modations were offered 212 boats o)f assorted sizes and ail of these wili be given preference in obtaining 19401 permits until'Apirl i. The numnber, of moorings relinquished fromn year to year, thus affording space for newcomners, has neyer exceeded 25 and already the association has a hold-over waiting list of 39 namnes from last season. Expert; Ingenuity "Anyone obsering this harbor' during -the summer months can eas ily appreciate the impossibilîty of wedging in one extra boat. Some of the small saïling dinghies are now' stored on land and it is only due 'O; the experienced ingenuîty of Stewart1 Tom Kearney that so many boats are handled in comparative safetyr," it was stated. Wilmette harbor. statistics show, takes care of twice as many boats3 per acre as any other yacht harbor in the United States. Holders of 1939 permits will be taken care of again ini 1940. Appli'ý cations and related literature wil be' mailed to each of them on or before March 1. Newcomers were warned that there will be no room for addi- t ional craft this year.
