It was voted and approved that the hose, waxed and gummed treated, at a cost of one dollar per‘ foot be bought immediately, to be 6f the community. He asked that Deerfield extend to them the same snow plow service as they had had last winter and hoped the charge would not be greater. The great concern of Bannockburn residents is fire protection. He stated that the charge of $50 for each fire call for a house or other building was reasonable but that $50 for a field fire, (and they had four this fall) was considerable. He asked that the charge be lowered to $25. He also wanted to know if there would be any way to differentiate between a call for a house fire and for a field fire. Trustee Pottenger, chairâ€" man of the local fire committee, asked for a special meeting, at which time, heads of the two muniâ€" cipalities would meet to discuss a fire district which would give adeâ€" quate protection. About five or six years ago the fire district was put to a vote and both Deerfleld and Bannockburn approved, but the west outlying territory, mostly farms, voted against it, thereby avoiding the issue. This time the fire disâ€" trict will include not quite so much territory and will be brought to a vote in the early spring. A special meeting for the discussion of fire protection for both villages will be held in two weeks. C. M. Willman, Village Clerk Chesâ€" ter Wessling, Attorney Milton O.

The public reâ€" lations committee will meet with village trustees and other organizaâ€" tions in the near future to see if Deerfield is in a receptive mood for the idea. Deerfield Puppet Club to Perform in Highland Park Suggest Community Chest for Deerfield at Legion Meeting of the railroad‘s suggestions that the village write to Interstate Comâ€" merce Commission and ask that the noisy bells be removed and chimes put in to lull Deerfleld to sleep has caused many a chuckle from this committee.

In a recent timing of the approach of the Hiaâ€" watha it was found that Hazel aveâ€" nue flash light signals allow forty seconds from the time of the first flash of warning to the time when the Hiawatha hits the crossing. This committee will present their findâ€" ings to the C. M. & St. P. railroad with requests for gates at the crossings and a fence between the tracks at the depot. Old correspondâ€" ence from the railroad at previous requests by the village board is in the hands of this committee and one pay old bills. Mr. Anderson of the L. B. Anderâ€" son Real Estate Co., Wheeling, preâ€" sented a book of plans of low cost houses in the $3,500, bracket, which he proposes to build on the Easton property west of Waukegan road at the south end of the village. He asked the approval of the board to erect these houses on oneâ€"third acre tracts. Septic tanks would take the place of an expensive sewer system and the water system would be exâ€" tended into this subdivision. Mayor Willman referred the question to a committee composed of Pottenger, Cole, Cazel, and Crush, for further consideration. Trustee Crush of the police comâ€" mittee said there was an increase in the number of night calls, but that traffic violations were fewer. Fines collected in November for traffic vioâ€" lations and shooting (hunting) in the village amounted to $69.
