. ing. WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1913 BUDD ASKS SKIP-STOP | SYSTEM FOR WILMETTE President of North Shore Line Pens Communication Which may be ~ Signal for Another Clash in that Village BENEFIT TO WINNETKANS Says Saving of Coal Justifies Change of Schedule Through the Town The long drawn out battle be-| tween the officials of the Chicago, | North Shore and Milwaukee railway | and the Village of Wilmette is fast| approaching another crisis brought | on at the initiative of the road | officials with . President Britton IL | Budd as the spokesman. [ Action by the Wilmette Village] Board, as the result of a communica- tion penned by the executive of the] railway and read to the Village | officials at a Board meeting last Tues- day evening, is expected at the next | meeting of the Board, Tuesday even- | ing, June 18. Two requests voiced in the com- munication which are expected to | constitute the basis of a lively dis- cussion at the next meeting of the 1] | | Board, are in effect as follows: Want Skip-Stops That, in accordance with the plan of the National Fuel Administration, the skip-stop system be adopted in| connection with the Express train schedule and the Limited train stops! be reduced to two in number. | It is requested that Express trains make only three stops, namely, Lin- | den avenue at the south limits of the | Village, Seventh Greenleaf | avenue, and Wilmette avenue, the re-| gular station in the business section | of the Village. Also that Limited trains stop only at Linden-and Wil-| mette avenue. A direct result of the traffic change would be a saving of approximately 120 tons of coz i per | year, according to officials of the] company, calculated upon the basis | of the consumption of approximately | one-half pound of fuel for each local] stop in the Village. What action | will be taken by the Village on this | point is a matter of vital interest to | all north shore residents since it would mean a considerable shorten- | ing of the schedule between Evanston | ai4-mnorth' shore points, converting | the "~tnre of traffic on the through "Wilmette from mere street railway into an actual] suburban through service, a condi-| tion which north shore villages other | than Wilmette, have long been seek- street in proj yosed railway | that 'of 'a | Ask Permanent Improvement Second. While the company sec- tion gangs have for a month been at work on the improvement of the road bed along Greenleaf avenue, Wilmette, and will be working along that stretch of track for another two months, it has long been the desire of the company officials to lay an; entirely new set of rails in that thoroughfare. These proposed rails are of the "T" type, such as are now being laid along the right of way in Kenilworth, at the request of the officials of that Village. Wilmette Village officials, following out the request set forth in the communica- tion, will decide whether rails of that latest type shall be laid in Greenleaf avenue where the resid- ents has been chronicallycomplaining of the wretched condition of the road bed with the resultant racket of the heavy cars bounding over the uneven rails. This latter request of the road executive, it is expected, will have the effect of suiting the tastes of these residents and is expected to be granted by the Village overseers without serious argument. The dual request of Britton I. Budd, namely, that Express and Limited trains be permitted to run on schedules such as are in operation in all other north shore towns and that proper and permanent improve- ment be authorized in Greenleaf avenue, will, it is thought, meet with the hearty approval of all residents of the north shore who are inter- ested in the betterment of suburban rail traffic conditions between the villages traversed by the Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee Electric railway. The co-operation of the Wilmette officials is expected for patriotic as well as other equally practical reasons. Red Cross Bulletin Board A Red Cross Bulletin Board has been put in the vestibule of the Parish House. Information and spec-! ial notices will be posted there and workers are asked to consult this board frequently. , ee e----------------------------e a -------- AT THE CLOSE OF BUSINESS APRIL 30th, 1918 MONTHLY BALANCE SHEET OF THE VILLAGE OF WINNETKA Last Year $ 12,696.62 54,562.78 *1,043.28 9,249.16 68,781.57 1,200.00 $144,546.85 $ 8053.15 280,050.56 5,054.38 6,331.45 388.66 1,564.43 $301,442.63 $ 351.07 14,208.00 Construction and Betterments.....

Our | soldiers salute it, our civilians un- cover before it, with new reverence. We now see its { know that, appre symbolism. We now though we may not have peace, it was the prot time of e W¢ r now, when the and brute torce seek to drive it from the sky, do we that our flag is the guaranty of all we Only realize sacred cherish know most. now do we that if it lost. At this moment, ly to their death that it tinue to be to all Americans the fairest object in the sky. We are about to | y Da hat 1 again celebrate lo4 Ps | TT LU pon { our Sh -men and women, boys land girls, even little children--de- vote some part of the day to special! honoring of the flag. Let them re- call to their minds and hearts the things for which it stands, let them feel that the future of our country and all mankind would be dark in- deed if it should go down before our brutal foe. We will then resolve anew place in the firmament at whatever cost. A CASUAL LESSON IN CIVIC PRIDE Civic pride is second only to love of home and country. A homely and i timely lesson in Civic Pride greeted! the eye of a casual observer at the| railway station in Elm street Wed- nesday afternoon. {he noted. | Three youngsters, one boasting | hirsute adornment of a decided brick { dust hue, the others topped off with | a mingling of sandy and hlonde, were | busily occupied providing lawn mow- | er trouble by throwing a variety of | pebbles over the spacious park on ithe railway property. Appeared at the station. another observer, less casual in his survey of the stone throwing contest. He ambled up to the playfellows and ad- monished : "You boys should help keep the town clean, throwing stones in the park is not doing that, that isn't the kind of stuff red-headed boys are made of". Thereupon the auburn haired youth {spied "I'll do my part". And the trio forthwith devoted themselves to the task of removing the stones. Quoth the second observer to the casual one, as they boarded the train for their home town, "Some person in Winnetka teaches Civic Pride"! $--$--8--8$---8$---8$---8---8$--9$ IS YOUR SUBSCRIPTION DUE? $8 Sr --=0--85--%--38 ciated it in the long years of] A i ector all the] verything that was dear to] shall not lead us to victory, all is| men go glad- |} may con- | N that our flag shall retain its| And this is what BIXBY MADE SECRETARY OF EVANSTON Y.
