By ROBERT Council on Monday night, brought out that a record pumpage for September was established this year. ‘The greatest previous water pumpâ€" age in September was in 1930, when 100 million gallons were pumpedâ€" September 1989 exceeded this figure by over 26 million gallons. Last September‘s (1983) pumpage was increased by 83% per cent. In fact, the water department has shown a sizeable increase this year over last year, for in the first five months of 1989 nearly 511 million gallons were pumped as compared to 386 million gallons for a like period last year, or an increase of over 32 per cent. ‘This increase should certainly help the city‘s revenue from that source. The September report of Fire Chief Hoskin showed that during last month there were 49 fire alarms covering property valued at $191,â€" 275, of which the losses amounted to but $2,830. The loss on contents amounted to $2,915 compared to a value of $56,800. The largest numâ€" ber of alarms were for grass fires, for which there were 31. Perhaps Highland Park should outlaw matches for 19 fires were caused by matches, which is the greatest sinâ€" gle cause of fires during this period. Outside of the above reports, the major portion of the councils‘ time was spent on a report from the zonâ€" ing board and the reading and disâ€" eussion of an amended zoning ordiâ€" nance. The amendments were quite technical and were almost impossible to understand without reference to the present ordinance. Mr. Bowes stated that an open meeting was held by the zoning board a few days ago, in which the suggested changes were read and discussed, and that only two citizens saw fit to attend the meeting. He also stated that some people were under the impresâ€" sion that the council is advocating the wholesale construction of apartâ€" ment buildings, but this is not the case. The main change by this orâ€" dinance covers the BB zone, i.c. the zone to the owners of this property By agreement of the councilmen, it was decided to table this ordiâ€" nanee until next weeks‘ council meetâ€" ing, at which time a member of the zoning board will be present and will explain the changes and their effect. This ordinance is now in the clerks office and open to public inspection. Residents of Highland Park, who are interested in the zonâ€" ing ordinance are urged to attend next Monday‘s couhcil meeting. in the construction of apartment buildings. It is hoped by this change to eliminate many of the violations of the building code and to eliminate the construction or remodling of dwellings into flats, many of which are firetraps and in direct violaâ€" tion of the code. Commissioner Goutley called atâ€" tention to previous zoning ordinance in which area restrictions were figâ€" ured incorrectly, because of the failâ€" ure to consult architects. . Commissioner Swanson reported that the bridge on Waverly road is nearly completed. He also requestâ€" ed, and the council approved, that the City Clerk place an order with the Public Service company to place a suspension light at the dangerous corner of First St. and Laurel Ave. He also requested that Pierce road at the Braeside school be made a one way street during school hours arid that the teachers of that school be allowed to park their cars on the Lincolnwood drive parkway.

A busy year‘s work is being planned by the Executive Board of the Highland Park League headed by Mrs. J. Sigurd Johnson, presiâ€" dent. The League has long bent its efforis to secure the right of womâ€" en to sit on juries. That right was granted lllinois women in the last legislature. The first lists of women selected for service both on federal juries in Chicago and local juries in Waukegan have just been issued. Many members of the Highland Park League have received sumâ€" mons to serve. The League takes public service seriously. Plans for jury schools were made last spring during the state convention in Urâ€" bana to prepare League members to do a conscientious job when their turns came. Now the Highland Park League is busy with plans to hold a jury school in Waukegan sometime this month with the.backâ€" ground of a real courtroom. A comâ€" mittee has been appointed and will meet at the home of Mrs. J. Sigurd Johnson next Tuesday, October 10, to complete plans. Members of the committee include Mrs. Pfigp Ringâ€" er, Mrs, Clarence Balke, s. J. 5. Baker, Mrs. Van Kirk, Mrs. Rayâ€" mond Simons, Mrs. Lee Supple and Mrs. Myron Gutman. There is a possibility of inviting nonâ€"members of Highland Park who have been called for jury service to attend the jury sehool. Among the members of the League who have received summons are Mrs. Robert Grinnell, Mrs. Marc Law, Mrs. George Gaidâ€" zik, Mrs, George Carr, Mrs. George Lyman, Mrs. Carl Haessler, Mrs. Howell Murray and Mrs. Richard Lowenthal. Mr. and Mrs. Philip Ringer and Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Pollack of Highland Park were among those who attended the gala banquet at the Crystal ballroom of the Blackâ€" stone hotel the evening of October 4 as the opening of an expansion campaign of Leagues in the Chiâ€" cago area for educational purposes. Mrs. Walter Fisher of Winnetka is chairman of the steering committee of the campaign while Mrs. Frank Hixon of Lake Forest was in charge of the dinner. The campaign is an outgrowth of a deep concern which the League feels towards its responsibility for American democâ€" racy. It is convinced of the neâ€" cessity to increase its influence in order to make our democracy a success. Sears Director to Speak Monday to Chamber Members Mr. P. A.

Howâ€" ever, in doing so, nome of us can afford to overlook the fact that Highland Park is our home and that the welfare of our families is largely dependent on the welfare conditions of our community.
