WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1924 POINT WOULD _ REORGANI . -- County Judge Jar cki Sets January 15 as Election Date OPEOSITION STRONG Many Signatures on Annex- ation Petitions Citizens of that portion of New Trier township formerly com- prised in the Village of Gross Point will be requested on Tues- "av, January 15, to vote upon the question of reorganizing that ter- ritory into a municipality to bear the name, "Village of Gross Point." The election comes as a result of a petition bearing sixty sig- natures filed before County Judge Jarecki on December 28 by Morton T. Culver requesting that a special election be called for the 'purpose of determining the ques- tion of reorganizing the recently + dissolved municipality into" the Village of Gross Point: Judge Jarecki set the special election for January 15. : Comprises 2 Square Miles The property included in the pro- posed new Vilage of Gross Point . comprises in€ territory described as the west one-half of section 28, the ~ east one-half of section 29, the east one-hati of section 32 and the west one-half of section 33. The territory comprises approximately 2 square miles and may be described roughly as that lying between Winnetka ave- nue on the north and Central street extended in the south. The forthcoming election is particu- larly interesting in view of the fact that citizens of that community have of petiticgg requesting annexation of the ggsater portion of the territory in lchion to the Village of Wilmette. Need Majority tc Win It is "estimated that the voting strength of the territory is about 1,000. It will require a majority of the votes cast at the January 15 election to carry victory to-the Reorganization forces, it is explained. pes Special interest will be attached to the election since those who have cir- culated the Annexation petitions claim to have secured the signatures of an overwhelming majority of the voters on that basis, and taking for granted that the sentiment of the they have since not suffered a change of heart, the cause of the Reorganiz- ationists appears to be lost. Meantime, there is every reason to believe that both camps in the forth- coming election will be out campaign- ing for dear life with precious votes as the objects of their solicitations. Voted Dissolution The citizens of Gross Point voted to dissolve the village at an election about four years ago. Actual disso- lution was effected a few months ago when money realized = from the sale at auction of the Village hall was found sufficient to liquidate the debts of the village. Proprietor of Moonshine Establishment Fined $200 Arthur Russell, alleged proprietor. of a "Moonshine" establishment on Main street west of Evanston, was fined $200 and costs by Justice of the Peace "F, B. Crossley, Wednesday morning in the Wilmette police court. Russell had taken a change of venue from Magistrate Mickey. Russell provided bail and expressed his intention of appealing the case. Superintendent of police Denman and Sergeant Brautigam of the Wilmette department, who also have the power of deputy sheriffs, raided Russell's estab- lishment Wednesday of last week; after "securing a confession as to the source of his supply of liquor from a man who was arrested in the village on the charge of drunkenness.
