"Subscriptions to the first Chest campaign forâ€" 1935â€"36 have been 97.3 per cent paid and payments on 1936â€"87 subscriptions are being made in a manner that indicates a continâ€" uation ofâ€"the previous record. Mr. Wampler further stated: that a total of 81% per cent on the 1936â€" 87. allocations to member agencies has been paid and assured the memâ€" bership that all obligations of the Chest to the close of the 1936â€"87 budget year, September 30, 1937, would be promptly met if the splenâ€" did record of pledge payments made during the first year‘s operation of the Chest was maintained. "All allocations to member agenâ€" cies for 1935â€"36 were paid in full and the Chest operating budget met, with a surplus of $1,753 carried over at the beginning of the last budget year. © Mr. Wamplerâ€"called attention to the fact that when the budget for the second annual campaign was apâ€" proved last fall, that the sum of $3,700 representing an increase of 10 per cent over agency allocations for the preceeding year had been inâ€" eluded in the total "in order to proâ€" wide against the possibility of the State and Federal relief programs being further decentralized .and throwing unexpected burdens upon local private agencies during the year, and it was stated that should THE GARNETT‘S A compliment to {o;r‘iu\n, perfectly comp ementin either period or nonâ€"pcno, schemes of decoration.

The executive committee of the Chest," Mr, Wampler stated, "reeâ€" | ommends to the members that this special reserve for contingencies (none of which has been used to date) plus any surplus funds of the {Chest be placed in a "general reâ€" serve fund," to be used, in the disâ€" | eretion of the board of directors of the Thest, to supplement, if necesâ€" sary, subscriptions to the Chest in | periods of> diminished prosperity | when certain members of the Chest may find it necessary to reduce the | amounts of their pledges." it be to use this special wo,ltmh“bm the amount of the budget in subseâ€" ‘This recommendation of the exâ€" ecutive committee to the members was put in the form of a motion to the members present and was unanâ€" imously approved. â€" posed plan called upon Mr. Renslow P. Sheror, president of Community Service, Inc., for further exposition of the plan. Mr. Sherer stated that €ommunity Service was anxious "to turn its bonds into bricks" if the combmunity as a whole, generally speaking, was willing to support the plan and pay for the maintenance of a community house by annual donations to be made through the Community Chest, which heâ€" felt to be the logical agency to raise an annual maintenance fund for the â€"purpose. . In concluding his report, Mr. Wampler said that one subject to which the Chest board has given much earnest consideration was the matter of a Community House for Highland Park. In this comnection, he said, the board has expressed itâ€" self as desirous of doing everything possible to coâ€"operate with Comâ€" munity Service,â€" Inc., in its considâ€" Mr. Sherer‘s remarks were followâ€" ed by considerable favorable disâ€" cussion, the consensus of opinion being that communityâ€"wide sentiâ€" ment regarding the project should be secured as soon as possible, upon which any definite action to be taken by the Community Chest in the matter could be based. Committee Urges Safety Measures Julius Zimmer (Continued from page 1) railroad crossing signs be properly installed. Also that new lights or lanterns be placed on all of the crossing gates as those now used give practically no light and visâ€" ibility is very bad, especially in a fog or bad weather. Suggestion is further made that grade crossing man be provided with a supply .of sand or something similar that can be used at the immediate approach of the tracks in freezing. weather. Further that changes and provision be made as they apply to the followâ€" ing crossings : Braeside: Remove shrubbery at the north and south end of the Braeside station, which obstructs view ofâ€" the approaching trains. Also remove houses at north end of the station obstructing view, Inâ€" stall warning approach signs on County Line road. Join with Citiâ€" zens Safety committee and Braeside association in requesting Cook Forest Preserve to trim or cut away shrubbery obstructing view of apâ€" proaching trains from the south. Beech Street: To install a louder warning bell and increase the cirâ€" cuit so as to give grater warning for faster trains. To erect and inâ€" stall proper warning signs. To erect guard rails and make approaching walks safer. â€" Ravinia: Repair‘exit road on the west side of the station and estabâ€" lish means of preventing children from crossing tracks at the far south end. Request to cut away or trim shrubbery on the Park Board Property obstructing view on west side will be referred to the Park Board. 5 Lincoln: Are urgently requesting at this point that gate control house be put on the ground. This is highly important as watchman in tower house has no view of street below. Several hundred children use ‘this crossing daily to attend the Lincoln school and the elevated house withâ€" out vision constitutes a decided hazâ€" ard. Shrubbery on the west side prevents any view of northbound trains and it is important that this be cut down or trimmed. Central: As there is a grade crossing man on the ground and in tonstant attendance the only recomâ€" mendation at this time is for the general provision mentioned in the foregoing and which includes paintâ€" ing new signs and signals. So close was the roundâ€"trip time of a mumber of the entries, espeâ€" cially to points on the Pacific Coast, Elm Place: In cooperation with the School Board of the Elm Place school there is a man in constant attendance at this crossing during the hours it is used by the school children. The only additional recâ€" ommendation therefore is for reâ€" painting and new signs.
