IL. Woolhiser's annual. report made before the President and Board of Trus- tees recently. The report covers the work of the Village departments for the fiscal vear ending March 31, 1926. The purpose of the report was to review briefly the work of the past year and to outline a program of activity for the year ahead. It should be of interest to every citizen of the village, since it is, in effect, a statement of the condition of the cor- poration of which they are all stock- holders. Another installment will appear in next week's issue of WINNETKA TALK. POLICE DEPARTMENT The report of W. M. Peterson, chief of police, is transmitted herewith and covers adequately the activities of the police department during the past year, and the present needs of the de- partment and recommendations con- cerning them have been covered by special communication of the chief of police, which has been transmitted to the village president. It will be interesting to note the increase in the cost of police protec- tion and in the amount of police work in Winnetka, during the past five years, as shown by the following com- parative statement: Pet.
