It seems to me that this is the sort of activity that should be supported by voluntary private subscription rather than by general public involuntary taxation. We are proud of the fact that the Village hall has been constructed with- out recourse to bonding which, of course, would have been taxation. Our municipal water and light plants sup- port themselves. No taxation re- Our Fourth of July celebration is paid for by village eo- operation, to be sure, but by voluntary subscription and not by taxation. I think mest Winnetka residents will agree with me that their real estate taxes are high enough now, but if they were to be increased, there are many things of greater general neces- sity and convenience than bands, for which the village needs more money and which must be taken care of by taxation. The Chicago band is a private or- ganization and does not depend for its support on public taxation. Granting that a village band is needed and is desirable, I believe there will be many who will be glad to chip in to defray its expenses, but let's not be taxed for it. I shall vote "No" on the Band Re- ferendum next Tuesday, and hope that if there are others who have not ap- preciated the situation, they will make the effort to go to the polls and vote "No", too. Yours very truly, "Non musician" Mrs. Albert Bailey Potter of Hub- bard Woods, and her infant daughter, Brooks Potter, are going to Minnea- polis today to spend Easter with Mrs. Potter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John C.
