Complete Addition to Filter Plant This Week The addition to the filter basin at the municipal water and light plant has been completed, it was announced this week by Village Manager H. I.. Wool- hiser. The total cost is $19,141, which is a saving of $1,859 on the engineer's estimate. The construction was * handled on a cost plus basis by H. A. White, formerly resident engineer for Pierce, Greeley and Hanson, engineers who built the original filter plant for the village. The job was completed ahead of schedule. The village now has approximately 900,000 gallons fil- tered water storage capacity at the plant. This improvement was in line with a carefully planned program to insure sufficient water supply for the village in the future. Protest Sign on C. N. W. Willow Street Viaduct Village Manager H. I. Woolhiser has written a letter to the Chicago and North Western railroad protest- ing against a sign which has been painted on the company's viaduct at Willow street. Some time ago the Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee electric line painted a similar sign on its viaduct, which was removed upon protest by the Village officials. It is thought that the steam road will also comply with the request to remove its sign... . 5% Yijury in Auto Crash Fatal to Charles Hart Charles Hart, 742 Elm street, died as the result of injuries which he re- ceived in an auto crash west of Wil- mette two weeks ago when the car in which he was riding overturned in a ditch.

At the right is Bruce Karnes, with his decorated motor car and trailer which won first prize in the children's parade. This is the car in which Bruce has been seen a great deal of late, upon the streets of Win- netka, in his pleasure of earning $100 as a donation for the sick babies at the Daily News sanitarium. In the trailer attached to the car, is Bruce's little sister, Dorothy Jane. Bruce not | | only displayed a marked artistic taste in his decorative scheme for this oc- casion, but also added much to the publicity of the splendid work in which heé is engaged and at the same time gave one of the most pleasing fea- tures of.the parade. Bruce is a son of Mr. and- Mrs. George Karnes, of 151 Fuller lane, Winnetka. Dies From Broken Neck Sustained in Diving at Beach Frank Crowden 18 years of age, of Little Cloud, Neb., who has been visit- ing his mother at 950 Pleasant street, Oak Park., died at the Evanston hos- pital Wednesday, August 25, as a re- sult of a fractured neck he sustained Sunday while swimming off the Glen- coe beach.

Mr. Crowden took a dive from the bank into shallow water, and fractured his neck. He was taken immediately to the Evanston hospital where he died three days later. The finding of the jury at the in- quest was "accidental death." Mr. Crowden is survived by his mother, and a sister who lives in Nebraska.

Police and Firemen All Spruced Up Winnetka Day Perhaps you noticed the unusual spic and span condition of the uni- forms of the Winnetka police and fire= men in which they appeared in the Winnetka day parade last week. Not but what these Winnetka officials are always neat and tidy in appearance, but they had been especially groomed for the parade. A. W. Zengeler, cleaner, of 899 Linden avenue, Hub- bard Woods, pressed and cleaned the uniforms for the boys, contributing this service as a part of his share to- wards the general success of the par- ade and picnic. For all of which the officers and firemen are correspond- ingly grateful. Dr. Richards Will Return to Winnetka September 10 Word has been received from Rev.

Icemen Re-enter Illinois to Play on Football Team Everett Nelson, of Wilmette, who piloted the prize-winning truck of the North Shore Ice company, in the Win- netka day parade, and Don Grimes, of Evanston, the young man whom you will recall having seen atop the truck on which was mounted the 300-pound cake of ice in which was encased a large bouquet of red roses, are leav- ing the employ of the North Shore Ice company, today to re-enter the University of Illinois. Nelson is a senior and will resume his former position in the Illinois foot- ball team and Grimes will be Junior manager this year. Nelson was a former room-mate of Red Grange, and is following the Grid Star's advice literally, both in regard to playing the game and in his vaca- tional vocation. Both he and Grimes have easily gained distinction in the matter of one of Red's specialities, that of juggling huge cakes of ice and have even gone him one better in the win- ning of marked honors in the recent parade contest. Thev have also been making good in Red's other specialty, that of star- ring on the football field, and are re- turning for another season's demon- stration of their prowess, with best wishes for their continued success from a host of friends along the north shore. Arrest Man on Charge of Embezzlement Thursday Charges of embezzlement brought about the arrest of E. L. Constance, an emplovee of vacuum sweeper com- pany, in Winnetka last Thursday.

He was arrested on a warrant sworn out by a special investigator for the company and was committed to the county jail after a hearing before Police Magistrate Clark T. Northroo, when he was unable to furnish $500 bail. . SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING There will be a special meeting of the Village council Tuesday evening, August 31, it was announced this week.
