2 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1922 WA. GIBBON, PUBLIC NORKS HEAD RESIS Accepts Responsible Position With Chicago Concern Winnetka next week will lose the services of an efficient and popular official when Walter A. Gibbon, for three years superintendent of pub- lic works, leaves his desk at the Vil- lage Hall to accept a responsible po- sition with John C. Bold and company, Conway building, Chicago, represen- tatives of ten great hardware manu- facturing concerns. The Village council Tuesday of this week accepted Superintendent Gibbon's resignaton, tendered several weeks ago. Needless to say, the res- ignation was accepted with sincere re- grets. Resolutions were adopted ex- pressing Winnetka's appreciation of the excellent services rendered by Mr. Gibbon. Members of the council per- sonally expressed regret at Mr. Gib- bon's decision to enter new fields of activity. ONE-TENTH OF WEALTH New York Bucincss Women Lead.

An estimate that there is outstand- ing a total of $30,000,000,000 of bonds entirely or partly tax exempt, from which the government receives no revenue, was made by Dr. Edwin R. A. Seligman, professor of political economy at Columbia university, re- cently, before the congressional ways and means committee, which is con- sidering proposals for constitutional amendment prohibiting further issu- ance of tax exempt securities. Dr. Seligman asserted that the gov- ernment, even during the war, should never have issued tax-exempt bonds. He estimated the amount of cutstand- ing state, county and municipal tax- free bonds at approximately $10,000, 000,000. In addition the government, he said, receives no revenue from $20, 000,000,000 worth of tax-exempt bonds. He asserted that the tax-exempt se- curities comprise about one-tenth of the country's wealth. Dr. Seligman estimated that if tax exemption of federal bonds could be abolished the government would re- ceive additional annual revenue of approximately $300,000,000. The evils of tax exempt securities was summed up in a few words by President Harding in his recent mes- Telephone 844 "AT ECKART'S" For Yourselves, Folks: dollar received?
