Ce 10 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 19, 1922 me niet Mlle Reeve to edi Municipal Column Edited by the Village Manager CHANGE IN VILLAGE RATES At the meeting of the Village Coun- cil on Tuesday, August 15, an ordi- nance was introduced changing the rate for electricity for cooking from 4 cents to 5 cents per Kilowatt hour. The lower rate was placed in effect three years ago as an experiment to determine whether cooking service could be furnished by the Electric department at a price low enough to compete with gas. Costs based on this experience now show that with a small generating plant, using high priced coal rather than water power, a rate less than 5 cents per Kilowatt hour cannot be offered without selling cooking current at less than cost. At the same meeting an ordinance was introduced amending the water rate ordinance to provide a higher rate for water service to consumers living outside the village limits of Winnetka. Outside consumers have heretofore been paying the same rate as Winnetka residents, namely $1.50 per thousand cubic feet. However, Winnetka property owners are paying general taxes on bonds issued to pay a part of the cost of the filtration plant which tax is not levied on pro- perty owners outside the village. In addition, the water mains extending from the pumping station to the vil- quested to prepare an ordinance re- quiring owners of horses kept in the Village to place all manure in tight : covered cans and have all accumu- lations removed at least once a week. This action is proposed as the result of a recommendation in the annual report of the Health officer, Dr. C. O. Schneider, who states that it is prac- tically impossible to effectively en- force the present ordinance, requir- ing manure to be kept in fly-tight manure boxes. REMOVE POISON IVY Trustee Langworthy has called the attention of the Council to the prev- alence of poison ivy in all parts of the village, particularly in vacant lots, with the suggestion that the co- operation of property owners be sought in having the vines removed from their property. Numerous cases of ivy poisoning among both children | and adults have occurred and it is hoped that property owners will take the initiative in removing all poison ivy, particularly where located near sidewalks and footpaths.
