"WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 1924 SEEK LAW FOR TOWNSHIP ZONE New Trier Leaders to Appeal to Legislature | ; Plans to secure state legislation mak- ing it possible to effect zoning regula- tions protecting New Trier villages against establishment of undesirable buildings on township properties lying beyond the corporate limits of the com- munities, were started Tuesday evening of this week at a meeting in Winnetka 6f the Township Zoning commisison. The session, attended by the various village presidents and village attorneys, discussed. the possibilities of securing legislation to enable the villages to con- trol subdivision and building develop- ments--including types of buildings--in the 'sections not included within the limits of the incorporated towns. Action in the matter was taken through the appointment of a committee comprising the village attorneys, and with F. B. Crossley of Wilmette as chairman, to investigate the possibility of securing the passage of a state law giving municipalities power to control development of properties before an- rexation. The committee was also asked to make a study of legislation now in effect in other states and render an opinion and report at a subsequent meet- ing of the commission late in March. I. Woolhiser, Winnetka village manager, was requested by the com- mission to get in touch with the Illinois Municipal league to ascertain whether other ~muncipalities confronted with similar problems would be willing to cooperate in getting help at the next session of the legislature. At present there is legislation provid- ing that a Plan Commission in a munic- ipality shall approve plats of layout of alleys and streets in contiguous terri- tory, but cannot control the size of lots or type and character of buildings.

Her topic was, "The Religion of the Child in the Home," and this will be followed by a talk on "The Religion of the Begin- ner" to be given at the same hour on Sunday, March 2, and the third, "The Religion of the Primary Child," wil! be given March 9. Mothers who are interested in the religious development of the little child are eager to do all they can to further it ,as well as those who con- tend that the little child has no relig- ion, should gain much from this series, it is pointed out. Todd Cagers Drop Game to Country Day Players North Shore Country Day school continued its winning streak and de- feated Todd at Woodstock last Sat- urday 14-12. On the tip-off Todd scored first, but for the remainder of the half fafled to ring another point, while North Shore sank three baskets in this period. At the end of the third quarter, however, the Todd quintet has brought the score up to 8-all. In the last quarter North Shore took a sprint and got six more points in rapid succes- sion. Todd threw two more baskets in this period thus ending the game 14-12. Some dissatisfaction was ex- pressed over the work of the officials, but on the whole it was an interest- ing and hard-fought game. Here Comes Our "Hans" Lookin' for Speeders John Hanselman, Winnetka's mo- torcyclist de luxe, scented the Spring- time in the atmosphere this week and prepared to resume his well known activities on the high and by-ways of the village. It is felt only just and proper that the motoring public be informed of Mr. Hanselman's plans in order that there may be no alibis concerning the why and wherefore of the much dreaded yellow slip. There will be the usual temptation to "step on the gas" when the winter's snows have disappeared, but, alas, Hanselman has decided to deprive our gay motorists of that pleasure. Hooray for Hanselman, we guess not COAL Phone Winnetka 12 E. C.
