Christmas Trees Aid in Dispensing Yuletide Goodwill Three gaily decked and illuminated Christmas trees, located in the Indian Hill, the Hubbard Woods and Elm street sections of the village, are now lending atmosphere and aiding in the dispensing of cheer and goodwill which has come to be associated with and necessary to the Yule season. The Hubbard Woods tree is an ever- green and was planted by merchants of that section of the village recently. It is 25 feet in height and, located near both the skating rink and station, greets both followers of winter sports and commuters as they utilize the rink or take the trains to work, All three trees have been decorated by the Winnetka Chamber of Commerce and are illuminated through the cour- tesy of the village electrical depart- ment. Richard Adler, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph I. Adler of 485 Orchard lane, Winnetka, has returned to spend the holidays with his parents.

COLTON DAUGHADAY 168 North Michigan Avenue Room go6 State 5192 CHICAGO Move to Relieve Overloaded Storm Sewer Conditions There is said to be urgent need of an increase in the capacity of the intercepting sanitary sewer which serves the village of Winnetka, Glen- coe, Kenilworth and Wilmette, which, it is pointed out, is frequently over- loaded following heavy rains, causing connecting sewers in the several vil- lages to back up, flooding basements and resulting in much damage and in- convenience. The Winnetka village council at its meeting Tuesday evening authorized its village manager, H. 1. Woolhiser, in conjunction with village managers of the other villages, to confer with the sanitary district authorities rela- tive to obtaining the necessary en- largement to the sewer, and thus bring about permanent relief from these conditions. Unless something is done, there is every reason to believe the condition will gradually grow worse, it is said, with the development of the many new subdivisions being added to the west of this area, particularly at Glencoe and Wilmette. The recommendation of Engineers Windes and Marsh is, that the exist- ing large intercepting sewer in Sheri- dan road, now terminating at Cherry street, Winnetka, be extended west and north to connect wih the existing intercepting sewer along the west edge of Winnetka and Glencoe. This work, the engineers point out, may be done by tunneling operations, thus eliminat- ing any necessity for tearing out street paving. Council Authorizes Purchase of Third Police Patrol Car An additional squad car, making three in this type of the equipment of the Winnetka Police department, was authorized by the village council at its meeting Tuesday evening. Trustee D. F. McPherson, chairman of the police committee, in presenting the request of Chief of Police W, M. Peterson for an appropriation of $550, the amount necessary to purchase the car, said this method of patrol has proven very satisfactory. The village purchased two squad cars last spring, there being a small amount left in the fund, which, with the $550 will be sufficient to buy a third car. Three cars are being used now, on Saturday and Sunday nights, it is said, when the Chief's car is pressed into service. The mileage record of the two squad cars purchased last spring is indicative of the amount of territory which the officers who use them have been en- abled to cover. The touring car has traveled 24,844 miles and the roadster, 14,563 miles, and, as he "hammered on wood," Sergeant Harry Enault added, "without a dime of expense for re- pairs of any kind." Mr. and Mrs. George Bragg Massey of 705 Sheridan road, Winnetka, have with them for the holidays, their sons, Loren, who is home from Cornell, George, Jr. from Yale, and their nephew, Raymond W. Hardenbergh, Jr., who is here from Princeton. ---- Barbara Berry, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William E. Berry of 744 Green- wood avenue, Glencoe, has returned to spend the holidays with her parents. Miss Berry attends Gulf Park college, Gulf Port, Miss. -- Susan Conley, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. M. Conley of 1113 Central avenue, Wilmette, has returned from Towa State college, Ames, Iowa, where she is a freshman, to spend the holi- days with her family. A a A A. lL TAN HER AER a] CLE |
