8 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1918 WILMETTE HANDS RAIL TANGLE TO COMMISSION Clash with Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee Road Reaches Climax at Village Board Session ROAD OFFICIAL EXPLAINS Village Board Members Decide to Let Utilities Commission Settle the Matter Residents of Wilmette, represented by their Village Attorney, Ralph Pot- ter, will be heard at the impending hearing before the Public Utilities Board in complaint against the Chi- cago, North Shore and Milwaukee railway with reference to what they consider a violation of the ordinance now in effect in the Village, which requires all trains operating on the right of way of that railroad within Wilmette, to stop at all street inter- sections where passengers wish either to board or alight from trains. 2 At a meeting of the Wilmette Vil- lage Board last Tuesday evening it was definitely decided by that body to allow the legality of the ordinance to rest with the Utilities Commission but that the sentiment of the Village | would be forcefully brought to the attention of the Commission. Communications Read This action was the direct result of the reading of several communi- cations, presented: at the meeting, | which voiced the opinion that the railway wal openly violating the stipulations of the established or- dinance. John J. Moran, representative of the Chicago, North Shore Milwaukee railway, who appeared be- fore the meeting at the request of | the Board members, emphatically de- | nied that, as the communications had | intimated, any orders had been issued by the railway officials Street intersection stops of limited and express trains. He declared the company was adhering implicity to the ordinance in Wilmette. He stat- ed, however, that the Utilities Com- mission holds that a community has no jurisdiction outside its corporate limits and the railway company has the right to say 'what persons it eliminating shall accept or not accept at stations | He stated further | outside Wilmette. that all passengers were notified at the Church street terminal in Evans- | ton, at Central street, Evanston, and at points north of Wilmette that ex- press trains make only one stop in each town while limited trains stop at regular stations for Milwau- kee passengers and that passengers duly advised as they are, who still insist on boarding the skip-stop trains outside of the limits of Wil- mette with some street intersection in that Village as their destination would be disappointed. Moran pointed out that the elimi- nation of street intersection stops of express and limited trains would re- present a considerable saving of coal He also explained that each limited and express train is followed im- mediately by a local train which makes all stops. A request made by the railway company and referred for considera- tion to the Wilmette Village Board two weeks ago, asking that limited train stops be confined to Wilmette and Linden avenues in the Village, and that express trains stop only at Linden avenue, Seventh street 'in Greenleaf avenue, and the regular station at Wilmette avenue, also that the railway company be permittel to make permanent repairs in Green- leaf avenue by the laying of the "TI" type rail, were not considered by that body at last Tuesday's meeting.

Laird Watch For Garden Destroyers Wanton destruction of the war gardens in certain. sections recently aroused the War Garden committee {of the State Council of Defense to | tl take some action to bring about the | pat- | arrest of the offenders. It is pointed {out that under a new federal law those who destroy the food supply | during war times are guilty of giving | "aid and comfort to the enemy" and | can be prosecuted as disloyal citizens The federal government now ac- | cepts war gardens as a part of the necessary war work of the nation. The federal authorities have shown that if residents will raise their own vegetables at home such food will not have to be shipped in by rail This will release freight cars for the shipment of munitions and other war supplies. Where the raising of war gardens is made general the saving of freight cars will be enormous, it is explained. In view of these facts it is believed that no loyal person will interfere with the growing vegetables on vac- IN FULL SWING HERE List of Contestants near the Hundred ant 'lots.
