14 LEADERS REVAMP DUR TOWN MEETING Annual New Trier Township Session Brings Out En- couraging Attendance VALUED SUGGESTIONS Propose Means to Enliven with Publicity The annual town meeting, as held on April 4 of this year at the Win- netka Community House, is no longer an empty form in New Trier town- ship, for on that day, at 2 o'clock, a representative gathering of citizens was in attendance. This meeting, which comes but once a year and is set by law for the same date as the township election, is a continuation of the old Town Meeting as it is known in the New England States, and has had in New Trier township, for the past several years at least, no more than a bare corporal's guard present for the transaction of town- ship business, which includes the power and authority to levy a town tax. Conditions have changed, how- ever, and instead of the four or five township officers. ordinarily attend- ing, plus the janitor of the building and a stray voter or two drafted from an adjacent polling place, constitut- ing the entire attendance, this year's meeting brought forth a goodly num- ber of both men and women from all the villages in the township. Penfield Is Chairman. Frederick W. Penfield, of Glencoe, was chosen as the moderator or chair- man of the meeting, and the presenta- tion for approval of the annual state- ments of the Supervisor and of the Treasurer of the Road and Bridge fund was the first order of business. In the absence of the supervisor on account of illness, the reports were presented and explained by the clerk and the highway commissioner. As has been brought to the attention of the voters of the township a number of times, for the past several years the township has been more than self- supporting, including officers' salaries and all election and incidental ex- penses, which have been paid from WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1922 newspapers, much more interest will be aroused. The necessity of every citizen and of each of the village administrations in the township assisting the assessor in listing all property in the township on his books at its proper value, was suggested by George R. Horton, of Glencoe, who told of the valuable work that is being done at this time as well as of the future plans as to this matter, by the local real estate board members. It was explained that there is a movement on foot to collect back taxes from persons still owning -the properties in cases where the assessments have been much be- low the proper amount. The vote on the respective candi- dates, for Township Officials, as re- turned by the canvassing board, was as follows: Gertrude M. Thurston for Super- visor 0 404 Leland V. Pierson for Clerk.... 406 Georga R. Harbaugh for Assessor 406 Herbert H. Sherer for Highway Commissioner a: Hoyt King for Collector Frederick B.

Jans-Lamke state that these prices quoted by them are for delivery in Evanston which means that you get the cars at the prices quoted and that you de aot have a charge of from $75 to $100 added to get the car from the factory to where you want to drive it.

This is a matter in which each voter may take just pride, as all expenses have been met, bills paid promptly, and a re- spectable balance left in the bank at the end of each year. Of the taxes collected last month, the township will receive in a few days the sum of about $8,000 to be used in the ensu- ing year, without the levy of any township tax. Saving in Road Fund. The report of the treasurer of the Road and Bridge fund showed that during the past fiscal year the sum of approximately $53,000 had been available for road purposes, and of this only about $35,000 was used, leaving a balance on hand at the end of the year of close to $18,000. The highway commissioner, who has under his control the entire disposition of this fund, was called on to explain how, in opposition to the more preva- lent and cupstomary practice of mu- nicipal officials by which all public moneys in their hands are expended, the reverse situation could exist in New Trier township, to such an ex- tent that the road work had been properly carried on and still leave the above balance in the treasury. Mr. Sherer, the highway commissioner, stated that here again the township had refrained from levying an addi- tional tax for hard roads, and that from the regular fund provided for the maintenance and repair of high- ways it had been possible to effect a considerable saving each year. As 'these savings accumulate from year to year it is the plan of the Highway department to construct a mile or more of concrete road in the township every second year. Among other matters discussed and acted upon were several resolutions, one providing for the payment to the collector of a portion of his salary for 1921, which inadvertently had been turned into the township fund last April by him through an error in the printing of the law; and another for expenses accounts for certain of the township officials. Urges Better Publicity. Mrs. M. L. Greeley, of Winnetka, one of the women present, brought very clearly before the meeting the need of more publicity being given to future town elections and meetings, and as a result of her remarks a reso- lution was adopted which it is ex- pected will remedy this situation. The notices required by law, though pub- lished in the local newspapers and posted in each election district, are very seldom read by the average voter, and it was thought that if such matters of public interest can be tain.
