COPLAN, Prop. 1120 Central Avenue Phone Wil. 2403 Band Boosters Tooting Merits of Enterprise Qne of the important issues before the citizens of Winnetka at the coming election, Tuesday, April 6, is the propo- sition which will determine whether or not Winnetka is to have a Municipal band. There are so many things to be said in favor of the proposed organization and there are so many active sponsors of the movement, that it is felt by many that the proposition will carry, it is said. The voters will approve the levying of not to exceed a two mill tax for band purposes. A 2 mill tax, it is said, will raise, at present, about $12,000 but it is also pointed out that this amount is not re- quired at the present time. Later on, as the community grows and financial needs of a larger band increase, the provision made at this time in the way of a tax levy, would provide for several vears to come. "A Municipal band for all of Win- netka" is the slogan of the Band Boost- ers, including the Winnetka Chamber of Commerce and all others who are interested in the development of Win- netka.
