WINNETKA MINSTREL WAS GREAT SUCCESS The minstrel show given Saturday evening in the Wlnnetka Woman's club building for the benefit of the Wlnnetka Relief and Aid society was presented before an audience that took up every available inch of space. Not oncw. out of the many that at- tended, waa heard "knocking" the en- tertainment. On the other hand, words of praise were heard on all sides. It is the general opinion that the minstrel with the olio waa the best entertainment that has ever been given in the village. The Jokes were new and snappy. Many well-known residents of the vil- lage came'in for good-natured raps, and from the time the curtain went up until the dose of the olio the audi- ence waa kept in continual laughter. A neat sum waa realised through the efforts of those taking part in the program. CLERGOE PEOPLE POISONED BY CAKE in deneoe were stricken with ptomaine poisoning and for a time their conditiom was dangerous. - The cake was sent to the village Chicago tea room and the of two families ate some of it. That evening three in each family stricken it Was Announced Against Speeders, Most of the Ume taken up by the regular meeting of the Glenooe vil- lage board last night waa spent hi discussing the supplementary assess- }. ment covering the deficiency in the At Mfifltine of Village Board bws **> **• extract to lay sewers in The deficiency amounted to $6,- 832.69. Several citUens were at the meeting and voiced a strong disap- proval in regard to the vUlage paying the above amount.. The citisens de- - manded that an accurate statement of FINES TO B E H £ A V Y costs be given and, Mr. cmyer. for- mer village^ attorney, gave, the ex- pian&Uon. r .

'This practice has pre- vailed In Olencoe for some time, but in the future all .persons caught rid- ing on the sidewalks will be arrested and fined. >' The regular monthly bills were pre- sented and ordered paid. The reports of the standing and special commit- tees were,read and approved.

' * â- â- 'â- â- â-  So far nothing has been-done to stop the speeders in the village, and the paved streeta have been turned irito speedways;' This Is to he brought to a sudden stop, and at the same time the village is out to make some money. This means that each of- fender will be assessed a heavy fine. SPhe subject was nnraght pefore the council last evening by x B. Grainer, representing the Lake-Avenue Im- provement association. He complained that autoists were using Lake avenue as a speedway and were trying to break all speed records. George Bnglish, president pro tern., because of the sickness of President John D. Conifer, announced that the village is going to hire a motorcycle policeman whose sole duty will be to keep a lookout for speeders. The acting chairman also stated that the village intended to kill two birds with one stone and would make some money at the speeders' expense. The speeding in the 'village haa as- sumed such proportions that some drastic measure was absolutely neces- sary to insure public safety on the streets both day and' night. < Mr. Grainer also complaned that contractors, teamsters and other workmen had left much rubbish on Lake avenue, and the association asked that a special policeman be ap- pointed to look after the thorough- fare. The reading of the reports of the standing and special committees and the report of the probation officer were also heard. The latter report waa so satisfactory that it will be taken up Jointly with the school board. An ordinance was passed calling for the improving of Laurel avenue The regular monthly bills were presented and ordered paid. The members of the board were shocked to hear of Mr. Conifer's Uln GASOLINE CAUSES FIRE IW WINNETKA The Winnetka fire department re- ceived its first call in some little time, Monday afternoon, when It rushed to the home of O. H. Bcrlbner. A can of gasoline in the barn became ig- nited to some way, but was extin- guished before any damage was done. The alarm was sounded shortly after It started raining and the re- port boob spread about the village that a house had beam struck by light- ning.

WINNETKA SEWER CONTRACT TO OBAIG When the Winnetka village board met last evening one of the first mat- ters, disposed of was the opening of bids for the Myrtle and Wlnnetka ave- nue sewers. James Craig of Wlnnet- ka waa the lowest bidder at $5,900, Bartlett ft Co. of Bvanston being the next lowest bidder. The contract was not awarded last evening, but will go to Craig. Checking up the warrants for the monthly payroll took most of the time and made the meeting late in con- vening. Quite a delegation of young men were present to urge the board to es- tablish a baseball ground. Indoor ball is now permitted in one park, and the young men. see no reason why the board should not only permit baseball in the other, but would even spend some money in fitting a field for this purpose. A committee will consider the matter.
