BALLOT, UNIQUE ISSUE Henry Fowler to Let People s£*^,.~~~ Decide- â€"t: - }|§|A matter of no small importance is itcrfce decided at the polls in the annual IVillage election Tuesday, April 14, when Sthe electorate will be asked to vote "Yes" lor "No" on a "Little Ballot" proposi- 8M°n- . . i::M^-:-/l-"-i,-.: f "Shaft the Village board pay from its general funds to John A. McGarry and Henry Fowler, the annount due them, without interest, amounting to $4,210.35 for side-walks laid by them in the Vil- Jage ^f-Wilmette in 1900-1901 under or- dinances afterwards held to be void, for which work they have never been paid ?", is the question upon which the voters will be asked to give definite and final de- cision on election day, Pioneer Resident Henry Fowler has been a resident of the village for many years, so that the "Little Ballot" question becomes one of peculiar significance, in that it will de- cide the sentiment of Mr. Fowler's townsmen and neighbors in regards to the justice of his claim. A letter directed to Wilmette voters this week calls to attention the pertin- ent facts in connection with the "Little Ba41ety-questioTi^E1nV1eTteT^ the interests of John A. McGarry and Henry Fowler, suggests that "a wrong has been done," the petitionerst "unin- tentionally, it is true, but a fact never- theless." The Village board in 1900 and 1901 drew two ordinances since held to be void and under those ordinances the contracts were performed under the prescribed specifications and supervision, and the work accepted and warrants held ir the stated amount of money, the letter states. These warrants, it is further explained, bear the seal and sig- ntures of the officers of the Village and are now discredited paper. Village Committed Error Error lies on the side of the Village, it is pointed out, in that "bad ordin- ances, afterward held to.be void by the courts, were enacted, albeit in absolute good faith. Legally, the petitioners are not in a position to collect their claim, so that the question resolves itself to a moral issue, a question as to whether or not the discredited papers should be taken up by the village and retired. Defeated in the courts, Henry Fowler is resting his case with the people, his townsmen and neighbors. ocatoi locao § ServiceRendered Private Garages Lead In Week's Building Permits G- rages occupied a prominent place in the list of building permits issued by the village ^authorities Jast week.
