2 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 1925 BOOST VILLAGE AT EXPOSITION Chamber of Commerce Spon- sors Exhibit at Illinois Products Exposition HEAR VILLAGE LEADER Miller Explains Problems of Administration Winnetka is to have a booth at the Illinois Products Exposition to be held at the Furniture Mart in Chicago next October if a movement sponsored by the Winnetka Chamber of Commerce is successful. The report of a special com- mittee delegated to investigate the plan was read at the Chamber of Commerce dinner held at the Community House Monday evening, together with the recommendation that the plan be carried out, and it was decided to put it up to the business men of the community. The entire expense will come to about $1200, which the Chamber of Commerce feels is too much to be undertaken by one organization, so it is hoped to gain the financial and moral support of other organizations. The booth itself will cost $300 and the present plan is to have as an exhibit a large, birdseye painting of the village by a local artist. This paint- ing will cost $700 and will require six weeks to complete. A telegram from Mayor Charles Nie- meyer of Princeton, Ind. appealing for financial aid for Princeton's tornado vic- tims, was read at the meeting and turned over to the Red Cross. Those present then contributed $137 for the tornado vic- tims and voted $100 from the Chamber of Commerce treasury. This money was sent to the Red Cross. Miller Is Speaker John S. Miller, Jr., president of Win- netka, was the principal speaker of the evening. He was introduced by George Patten and told those present about the administration of village affairs.

One of the evils of the present system of taxation is that of unequal assessing. Some communities have their real estate appraised lower than others. That has happened even within this township. We have attempted to overcome it by re- taining experts, but it has not proved an absolute success as they worked in dif- ferent ways, and there was also some "leg-pulling" after the appraisals had been made. The present valuation is not ideal. "I was disappointed that the went up this year, but it was unavoid- able. The amount needed by the village was less than last year, but the schools needed more.

Track depression presents quite a problem in engineering, particularly as to side tracks. One of the reasons that we have decided to pay for the new ad- ministration building from funds other than taxes is because we want to accumu- late money for track depression purposes. We don't expect to pay for any of the actual work of depression, but we will probably have to spend some money on ornamental bridges and in grading up to them, and other incidentals. We will have the money ready when that time comes." Answers Qucstion- Mr. Miller went on to tell of other village matters.
