Tn BY fr Je lee aa ER a atl hd ---- GAN -------- March 19, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 7 HENRY F. TENNEY WILL HEAD VILLAGE BALLOT (Continued from page 1) similar pledge for him, Mr. Wallace desired to know what prompted him to seek this office. He declared his "sus- picions were aroused," and it was evi- dent that this remark aroused more than suspicion on the part of Mr. Adams and his friends. They were perceptibly angered at what they have termed an unwarranted insinuation by Mr. Wallace. Terms Remarks Unjust Mr. Adams, when questioned later insisted that Mr. Wallace's remarks were, to say the least, entirely unwar- ranted, unjust and unkind. He as- serted that he and his friends went to the caucus for the purpose of present- ing his name as a candidate in the most friendly manner and without any in- tention of interfering with the plans of the long established custom of con- ducting caucuses in the village. Mr. Adams and his friends also say that Mr. Wallace's inference was par- ticularly unwarranted for the reason that Mr. Adams has been a highly re- spected resident of the village for 30 years. He has been for a long time and is now engaged in the retail drug business. He is prominently associated with the Winnetka Chamber of Com- merce and has always taken an active interest in all civic affairs which were for the interest of Winnetka. Mr. Adams also stated, that, not only have his friends who went into the caucus rallied to his support, but have also ex- pressed their utmost displeasure at Mr. Wallace's reflection upon his can- didacy. Since the caucus, he continued, many others have addressed him per- sonally, expressing their utter con- tempt for such unwarranted remarks as characterized Mr. Wallace's talk. Many, Mr. Adams says, have declared that further continuation of such meth- ods spells the assurance of well or- ganized and determined opposition in future civic affairs, a condition which Winnetka citizens, in general, have always felt is not necessary. Never Before a Candidate Mr. Adams asserted further that Mr. Wallace's reference to his having pre- viously sought the office, of marshal and collector, about ten years ago, are without any semblance of foundation. That, as a matter of fact, ten years ago, he was in the service of his coun- try, with the United States Navy. The c-gcus platform substantially the same as that adopted in 1926, which was published in WinNgErka Tark last week, was adopted. The following nominating committee for 1928 was chosen : Fourth precinct--Charles T. Moon, Ralph M. Snyder. Fifth precinct--William H. King, Jr., Lyman I. Weld. Sixth precinct--William S. Miller, Miss Ruth Matz. Seventh precinct--Mrs. John N. Van- der Vries, E. C. Weissenberg. Eighth precinct--Mrs. Charles F. Karnopp, M. K. Meyer. Ninth precinct--William G. Taylor, Mrs. John E. Mac Leish, Tenth precinct--George S. Parker, Roswell B. Mason. Eleventh precinct--Fred Parsons, A.| E. Bryson. Twenty-fourth precinct--Don Dallas, Mrs. E. E. Brown. Twenty-fifth precinct--Fred W. Loco, Sam Smart. Nominees at large--Miss Martha Gemmell, Sherman M. Goble, William J. Carey. Roland D. Whitman, Robert H. Wallace. . Mr. and Mrs. Laurence A. Janney of 637 Spruce street are returning to- day from a week's trip to New York. Complete Plans to Double Size of Winnetka Public Library Winnetka officials are soon to receive for consideration the question of calling a special election on a proposition to authorize a bond issue for the purpose of virtually doubling the size of the Winnetka Public library. The architect's rendering and accompanying floor plans were prepared for the Library board which has been for some time engaged in working out the final details for the pretentious enlargement of the library structure. The total cost of the anticipated addition to the building is estimated at approximately $75,000. Plans are designed to provide additional floor space equal to the space now available. The library, as it now stands was erected in 1910 with a capacity of 10,000 volumes. Today it is overcrowded with a total collection of 18,000 volumes. The plans calling for a doubling of the floor space are based on con- servative estimates of the probable growth of the village over a period of many years in' the future. William A. Hadley, one of the Library board members, who recently contributed a series of articles to WINNETKA TaLk on the history of that institution, commented as follows regarding its present status and needs: I | I "COAL ROOM EF 3 EES Er [0 2 i oy op og 4 Ered | - SFT | x re on vo TER Ess =i EEE § FUTURE STACK Ee ET FI ; ; hid Hn OR STORAGE ROOM bt H hi YR SUPPLIES ~ mn ad + F : DESK MAGAZINE'S & bere PERIODICALS ------ : 4 UNASSIGNED =1- ILET Basement iE Plan a ~ a 3 *y ne 4 " "The Village of Winnetka. has never expended a penny for site or building, and the revenue, received under the library statute, can only be expended for carrying on the regular work of the library; that is, the purchasing of books, salaries, and the maintenance of the building. ; ] "With the opening of the new building (in 1910), many things have been done in a more systematic and business- like manner. The board of trustees now meets each month and the bills and salaries are paid monthly. Magazine subscriptions have been greatly increased and the more valuable ones are bound semi-annually and kept for reference. In the selection of books, the demand of the patrons of the library is kept constantly in mind and the necessity of keeping all the departments of the library built up is also considered. Bv comparison with other libraries of similar size, the Winnetka Public library holds a very high place. Its service is curtailed now by lack of room. There should be more space for books, for the children's needs, for reference study, and for people who come to read; also more money, which would mean more hours open--more books. ; 2 ; Trp "If the library is to continue its standard of service, it must very soon ask the public to increase its facilities in the way of room and equipment." 3 A Aad Ee ls Fall AL ab d
