WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 2% 1922 Public Forum Editor, Winnetka Weekly Talk, Win- - netka, IIL Dear Sir: The recent discussion in the Public Forum regarding the street lighting in the business district of our village has prompted me to say just a few things along this line. During my they are installed. It has always stood ready to do that if the citizens would only do their part. In my humble opinion these lights can be paid for by special assessment without being a burden to any prop- erty owner and the dividends to the merchant, as well as the citizens, will more than offset the cost many times. A public hearing on this question is suggested. Why wait any longer to accomplish that which we have seen is not an experiment but in reality Telephone 844 "AT ECKART'S' There is in store a thousand and one things in the line of Cooking fom Preigons a Hinge the a profitable investment and worthy through a plan of street lighting for of fre hearty support of all our citi- our business district which failed at zens: that time because of the lack of in- terest among the men or firms en- gaged in business in our business section.

Now that this plan is being agitated again let us hope it will re- ceive the proper support from all of our citizens to make it possible to put it over and put it over in a broad and vigorous way. Paper shore is far ahead of us in this re- for our spect, not to mention the numerous towns and cities throughout the coun- try. The growth of our village, the in- creasing problem of street traffic, de mand that we do something and do it at once. Every good citizen recognizes the pest means of an ornamental lighting prosperity, safety and beauty of a community. The entire community profits. The merchants prosper. Loyalty and pride are quickened. Money put into a good lighting sys- invested, drawing dividends every day of the year. The police value of good street lighting needs no proof. Strong electric street lights are as good as additional policemen and will cost the village but $25 each year to maintain. Whatever may be the plan devised for the style of post used, we can be assured that once we decide to prop- erly light our business district, the committee in charge will get the most efficient, most ornamental and best post obtainable, because Winnetka demands the best, as has been shown by things we have accomplished. There is no doubt the Village Coun- cil will maintain these lights once ---- THE FLORSHEIM SHOE EVAR ay Dan's loi! never brings its wi proper reward until lee : begins to save money - - HE FLORSHEIM SHOE satisfies a world of men with widely varying tastes, and meets the most exacting requirements throughout the strenuous life that a good shoe must live.
