WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1921 11 LOWERED TAXES, NEW ROAD,REALTCRY AIM Discuss Important Township Matters and Name Committee To Investi- gate Taxes and Clear up Titles ENDORSE SKOKIE HIGHWAY Members Guests of the Village of Glencoe Monday Evening; Hear Several Speakers Tax reduction on properties in New Trier township, the proposition of projecting a boulevard through the Skokie valley to relieve traffic con- gestion in the north shore villages, and the new law requiring the licens- ing of real estate brokers, were sub- jects of discussion at a meeting of the North Shore Real Estate board, Mon- day evening of this week at Glen- gables, Glencoe. Enjoying a dinner at Glengables as guests of H. W. Butler and the Vil- lage of Glencoe, the members of the board heard and discussed matters of interest to every resident of New Trier township. | Following an introauctory address| by Frederick W. Penfield, president' of the Village of Glencoe, who out- lined some of the possibilties of New Trier township, and stressed the need for unified action by the citizens of the township, H. W. Butler, Glencoe Building Commissioner gave an inter- esting and enlightening talk on zon- ing, the future of the Skokie, and means of reducing taxes in the town- ship. Much Delinquent Property Relative to tax reduction he declar- ed that on more than 1,000 pieces of property in New Trier township no taxes and no special assessments were being paid, these being per- mitted to go as delinquent. Accord- ingly, he pointea our, other properties in the township are taxed correspond- ingly higher in order to raise the re- quired sums. The board appointed a committee to investigate the tax situation and report on the feasbility of clearing up the titles on delinquent properties so that they might be purchased by responsible persons who would keep up the taxes and special assessments. On Mr. Butler's suggestion that the township build a highway through the Skokie valley the board named another committee to "work towards the securing of a boulevard through the Skokie valley and thus alleviate some of the congestion along the lake shore." Explains License Law Gilbert D. Johnson, realtor and member of the board, spoke next on "The Licensing of Brokers", a subject of particular in- terest to realtors at this time in view of the fact that beginning January 1, 1922, every person engaged in the real estate business will be required by state law to be equipped with a pub- lic office in which to do business, to north shore x10¢ i 2-1 747 [ed meets every need ° pp of your Starting & LJ ~ » [4 Lighting Battery --meets it as it should be met, thoroughly, promptly, depend- ably.
