It Is understood that the great development now In progress there la engendering a desire for that section to be an- nexed to Chicago, unless th$s city can find some way to provide water, sewer, walks, light, police protection and school privileges adequate to meet the demands and necessities of the neighborhood. The judiciary and building committees were the ones to which this task was assigned. Te OH Streets Ajjatjj. - Alderman Smart, for the street com- mittee, introduced the usual resolu- tion and schedule providing for the oiling of the streets this year, and explainer that in such cases where the communities Islet year paid the; nart of the assessment whioh Is to be raised locally, but failed to get the work done on account of the rainy weather, they are not required to pay again this year, but the eityfs to bear the total, expense.

Three years ago Rev. J. W. P. Da- vies established some boys' clubs, but these soon outgrew their quarters. This brought out to light that the village J^^^^.wn^^_M^^ place. As a result the men of the Congre- gational church started making, plans for such a building. Community house is the excellent result attained. Realizing the urgent need of such a building the men of the village worked jhard and donated liberally with the result that Winnetka owns one of the best civic cente found anywhere. ^The building, which cdst was opened last fall, and since1 time it has done much, for not only f^the young people* but for the older ones as well, .. . „ ;;•...'.-:." ••i..,,, , la Nori-tectarlan. Community house, of which Mr. J. W. F. Davies is director, is strictly non-sectarian. It is a neighborhood center for the wholesome recreation and the development of character. The building Is open to the entire community and no person Is shut out from the building unless he shuts out himself. The building was so arranged that not a foot of floor space is at waste. On the first floor are located the gen- eral office, Mr. Davies' office, assem- bly room, kitchen, men's billiard room, equipped with two pool and one bil- liard tables, and on the south side is the large gymnasium. A large stage at the east end of the gymnasium* makes it possible for entertainments to be given. Every other Friday even- ing the gym is used and a moving picture performance is given. The two shows given during the evening often draw between 800 and 900 per- sons. The entire second floor is taken up with club rooms. These are used on Sundays by the Sunday school classes of the Congregational church, to which building Community house Is adjacent. A gallery to the gym Is en- tered from the second floor. Different organizations occupy the rooms on the second floor, one large room being the home of the six troops of the Boy Scouts of which Mr. Da- vies is scoutmaster. The Woman's club also has three rooms which can Several of the Wilmette streets have been gWen coats of oil and the work pi any franchise j^jif continue until the unpaved afreets in the business district have been treated in this manner. The work is being done by the Wll: mette Improvement association and is one ef the best improvements that could be made at this time. It has been found In year* past that oiling the streets la the-only permanent cure for Ihe much trouble caused by, dust. â€"* Will Ellsworth Horton^ proprietor of the Camera 8hap, dl4 Davis street, Evanston, conducts the only exclusive camera store between Chicago and Milwaukee.
