INNET oS . FEKLY T ALI Nearly Everybody In Winnetka Reads The Talk VOL. IX, NO. 14. . WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, JUNE 19, 1920 TWELVE PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS REAL ESTATE INTERESTS TO FORM ORGANIZATION ON THE NORTH SHORE Brokers of Wilmette, Kenilworth, Winnetka and Glencoe To Join Hands To Rid North Shore of "Certain Evils" Real estate brokers of Wilmette, Kenilworth, Winnetka and Glencoe at a meeting Monday evening, June 14, at the offices of Hill and Wheeler, Winnetka, took the preliminary steps in what promises to be one of the strongest organizations on the north shore, an organization of real estate interests having for its pur- pose mutual benefit and protec- tion, and promotion of the north shore as one of the most ideal res- idence districts in the United States. All leading real estate firms of the north shore were represented at the preliminary session when the tempor- ary organization was formed with C. T. Northrop of Winnetka selected as temporary chairman and Mrs. Stone of the Hill and Stone Real Estate brokers, temporary secretary. 3 Meet Next Monday Permanent organization was ex- pected to be concluded at a meeting to be held at the Hill and Wheeler offices in Winnetka Monday evening, June 21, when the purposes of the organization will be discussed in de- tail and, it is expected, permanent officers will be elected. A committee on Name and By-laws will report at this meeting. Genuine interest was displayed Monday evening in a review of the possibilities of an organization of the real estate interests of the north shore. Emphasis was laid upon the fact that such an organization did not bear as its purpose the promotion of private enterprise or to boost real estate schemes but, on the contrary, was launched for the express purpose RE of establishing honesty and fair deal- ing in the real estate brokerage busi- ness of the north shore, by eliminat- ing "certain evils" now obtaining in the business in this vicinity. Boost Civic Enterprises That a strong organization of real estate 'interests is one of the main assests in any community, or group of communities, has been demonstrat- ed in thousands of instances through- out the country. Such bodies have been the outstanding promoters of civic improvements and active sup- porters of zoning and city beautiful enterprises. It may be taken as a matter of course that an organization of real estate interests on the north shore will maintain the excellent reputation established by bodies in thousands of centers in every section of the United States. The proposed north shore association is expected to receive voluntary en- dorsement of village officials in every community represented and to meet with the hearty approval of the citizens in all of the villages.

A ragged fender on the machine slashed the little gorl"s right knee and cause serious lacerations. She was attended by Dr. Levick and later taken to her home. She was later removed to the hos- pital, it was said. The Flynn girl was walking across the street intersection when struck by the light delivery truck. : While the accident was consider- ed unavoidable and Kranze was not held by the police, the incident brought sharp criticism from Chief of Police W. M. Peterson and led him to issue the following statement to the residents of the village: "Since early in July, 1919, every ac- cident in the village similar to the case of little Dorothy Flynn, has been perpetrated by Winnetka automobile drivers. During that long period not a single outside motorist has been guilty of striking a pedestrian in the village. On the other hand there have been numerous accidents of this nature in all of which the drivers were Winnetkans. "This is proof positive that the reckless automobile drivers through the village are not from other parts, but our own citizens. Every accident has involved an owner of a Winnet- ka car. "This is very apparent recklessness and wanton disregard for the safety of the pedestrian and must be halted immediately. "Motorcycle policemen and patrol- men have received definite instruc- tions to arrest every violator of the traffic regulations of the village and to deal summarily with promiscuous violators of the speed laws. "Drivers are not permitted to ex- ceed 15 miles per hour at street in- tersections in any section of the village. "This letter is written in the in- terest of the safety of the walking public of Winnetka. . Signed W. M. Peterson, Winnetka Chief of Police."
