WYNNETEKA "TALK Published weekly March 8, 1912, at the post office at Winnetka, Illinois, under by Lloyd Hollister, Inc., 564 Lincoln Ave., Winnetka, Illinois. the Act of March 8, 1879. Entered as second class matter Subscription price $2.00 a year. VOL. XVI, NO. 4 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, APRIL 2, 1927 PRICE FIVE CENTS CALL VILLAGERSTO POLLS NEXT TUESDAY Contest for Marshal-Collector Of- fice and Band Tax Proposition Hold Interest At the Village election Tuesday, April 5, Winnetka will choose a new Village President, three Village trus- tees, three Library trustees, a Treas- urer, a Marshal and Collector, a Po- lice Magistrate, and a member of the Park board. There is a contest in the office of Marshal and Collector only, all other candidates offered by the 1927 Cau- cus going unopposed. Because of the contest in this one office, and the question regarding the advisability of a tax levy for the Village band, what might otherwise be a quiet and un- eventful election is given two impor- tant issues which assure a much larger vote than would otherwise be the case. Members of the Village Caucus committee 'this week addressed a let- ter to the voters of Winnetka pointing out the fact that the nominees of the Village Caucus have in the past been uniformly elected and have been re- sponsible for the honest, efficient, and generally satisfactory administration of village affairs. Primarily on this ground the committee has asked for |! the continued support of the voters of the village in favor of its candi- dates. of Marshal and Collector, which is contested, the committee points out that this position is one of far greater importance than is perhaps apparent on the surface. In this letter to the voters the committee states that the |! Village Marshal and Collector legally has authority over the Village Police Force, though by agreement between the committee and its candidate that authority has not been exercised dur- ing recent years. Recommend Flynn Theodore Flynn, the Caucus candi- date for Marshal and Collector, has held the office for a number of years, and, according to the committee, has served satisfactorily, having fulfilled pledges made prior to each election and now renewed: First, to waive the 2% collection fees on all Village Spe- cial Assessments to which he would be entitled by law, and accept a small fixed salary instead; second, to permit the Village council to direct the Vil- lage police force. The committee's communication stresses the fact that it has been the accepted practice in Winnetka for many years for the office to seek the |. man, rather than the man seeking the office, ascribing to this policy the past excellence of local village officials, and the absence of partisan politics.
