5 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1922 Municipal Column Edited by the Village Manager Approval of a plot of subdivision for the Hoops forty-acre tract at the north- east corner of Willow street and Hub- bard road, submitted to the village council at the last meeting, was de- ferred for two weeks. The question of proper drainage caused the postpone- ment. A petition from property owners north of North avenue and west of Vernon, relative to sewer conditions in that section, was referred to the streets drainage and forestry com- mittee, together with a report from the village engineer covering the mat- ter. Negotiations are under way with the village of Glencoe to provide a new contract for supplying water service to that municipality at a rate sufficient to cover the increased cost of filtered water. The present rate is $0.7 per thousand gallons and the proposed rate is $.12 per thousand gallons. A petition has been received by the village council asking that the alley in Block 10, Lake Shore subdivision, be vacated, as it is not used for alley purposes. The alley runs east from Woodland avenue between Hawthorn lane and Elder lane. At the last meeting of the Village council the finance committee recom- mended that the rate for water ser- vice supplied to residents outside the village limits be increased from $1.50 per thousand cubic feet to $2.25 per thousand cubic feet. The council de- cided that the increase is justified in fairness to Winnetka taxpayers who are paying general taxes for the new filtration plant bond issue and have been assessed for water mains used to convey water froin the plant to the village limits to supply outside resi. dents. At the same meeting it was decided to increase the rate for electricity for coking from four cents to five cents per kilowatt hour, the present rate of four cents being considerably less than the cost of production. An ordinance has been introduced changing the fire limits of the village, in which no frame building may be constructed, to correspond to the com- mercial and industrial districts provid- ed by the zoning ordinance. At the last meeting of the village beoniell' a resolution was introduced by trustee I. Sherman Aldrich, con- demning the careless operation of the delivery trucks of the Merchants De- livery and instructing the village president to write a letter to the pro- prietors of these trucks to the effect that if the drivers are not required to | drive at moderate speeds and in ob- | servance of traffic regulations, severe | measures will be taken by the village | to secure the public safety. It was pointed out that the police department had handled the matter as efficiently as could reasonably be ex- pected but that several arrests already made had apparently not been ade quate to curb careless and inexperi. enced driving of these trucks. The resolution was passed unanimously. Girl Scouts By V.
