XII, NO. 1 WILMETTE, ILLINOIS, FRIDAY, MARGH-46r-1923 TWENTY PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS GUARD HEALTH OF NEW TRIER Township Board of Health Operates Effectively in Un- incorporated Areas MOORE IS IN CHARGE Three Town Officers Com- prise Board About a year ago the Board of Health of the Town of New Trier held its first official meeting and was duly organized, according to law. The board, consisting of three of the town officers, Mrs. Ger- trude M. Thurston, supervisor, George R. Harbaugh, assessor, and Leland V. Pier- son, clerk, is created by statute, and is given general power and jurisdiction over t the health and sanitary conditions throughout the unincorporated portions of the town. Prior to the organization of the board, New Trier had never had any regulations or requirements on matters of this kind, although the statute authorizing the board has been in force since 1901. Moore In Charge Dr. E. E. Moore, well known health commissioner for the Village of Wil- mette, was appointed health commissioner for the town, and has served in that ca- pacity to the present time. The impor- tance of such an organization as this one is becoming greater and greater to the villages and citizens of the town, in view of the rapid growth and development of the portions lying to the west of the vil- lages. At the time of the board's or- ganization in 1922, several contagious di- seases were prevalent in the town, and means were at once taken to check their spiead and efficient work on the part* ot Dr. Moore halted their increase before an epidemic stage had been reached. One of the things the board has had in mind particularly has been the betterment oi the sanitary conditions at the country school on Thalmann road. ",,'At a recent meeting a comprehensive set -of rules and TegulatioW Were adopted' by the board, and copies thereof may be obtained from Dr. Moore at the Wilmette Village hall. These rules will be dis- tributed to all physicians practicing in the villages and the town, and it' is hoped rand expected that the residents of the town will co-operate with the health commission in complying with the stipu- lated requirements.

The cost indicated by the permit was $175,000. ' - A permit for the construction of an apartment building at 625 Eleventh street was issued to J. M. Brown. The new building will be of brick con- struction and will consist of eight apartments. It will cost approximate- ly $30,000. Charles S. McCoy was granted permission to make additions to his house at 730 Ashland avenue at a cost of $3,000. Permits for the construction of private garages were issued to C. J. Cote, 323 Oak Circle, and G. M. Cul- ver, 910 Elmwood avenue.
