New Turbine Is Put in Service at Light Plant The new 2.000 K. W. turbine at the Village electric lieht plant was placed in service last Wednesday. The con- struction of this addition to the eauin- ment has been in progress since Feb- ruary' Westinghouse = engineers were on hand in starting the new unit and no serious difficulties were experienced in placing it in running order. The ca- pacity of this turbine will be sufficient to take care of the maximum require- ments of the village for the next five vears, according to Village Manager H. L. Woolhiser. The total estimated cost of the in- The foundation was designed by H. C. Carton of Windes and March, village engineers, and built bv Paul Reske and Tames Laing. Installation work was under the direct supervision of Henry Chris- tiansen, superintendent of the electric plant, and the electrical work, includ- ing the switchboard, was installed bv 'the distribution department of the vil- 1 lage with Harold Bohnen in charge. WAR AGAINST SKEETER _ FAVORABLE IN VILLAGE | Abatement Work Brings Appre- ciable Results: Committee Renews Appeal for Funds In most parts of Winnetka within the last couple of weeks there has peen noted a considerable reduction in the number of mosquitoes present, al- though their elimination is far from complete, according to word received by Howard C. Phillips of the Win- netka Mosquito Abatement commit- tee. As far as can be found, there is practically no breeding within the vil- lage limits and certain sections of the village, such as the southeast section, | seem to be very free from mosquitoes, but thev are still quite plentiful in the southwest and north sections. The Sanitary district started work on dynamiting the channel of the Skokie about a week ago, and is making fair- Iv good progress in the vicinity of the Wilmette Golf club, but has not vet reached as far north as Winnetka with their work. The force of men working under the direction of Village Manager Woolhiser, with the assistance of an inspecting engineer, furnished bv the state department of public health at the request of the Mosquito Abate- ment committee, has been busy in oil- ing a great many places where mos- quito breeding was otherwise very probable. Meadow Lands Source The main source of the mosquitoes in Winnetka is still apparently the areas of meadow lands where rain water is present from time to time in the Skokie valley west of town and it is hoped that this condition may be remedied in part by the work in pro- gress by the Sanitary district, - The expense of the efforts being made to keep the village clear of mos- quitoes is borne by voluntary contri- butions from the residents. So far this year there have been 453 contri- butions, with an average slightly over $5 each. Of these less than seventy- five contributions were of $10 and over, so it will be seen that the response, while very creditable and quite gen- eral, has not been as great as the committee had hoped for in order to carry out its plans successfully, and it is still hoped that those who have not subscribed and care to do so may send contributions in any convenient amount to the Mosquito Abatement fund in care of the Village Manager, in order that the work may be con- tinued throughout the present season. Village residents can also be of as- sistance if they will notify the Village Manager's office promptly of any sud- den increase in the mosquitoes in their vicinity. : Miss Emma Bosse Dies; Victim of Appendicitis The death of Miss Emma Bosse, 556 Center street, Winnetka, occured Thursday, August 5. The services, conducted by the Rev. Thomas A. Goodwin, took place Saturday after- noon. Burial was at Memorial park. Miss Bosse had recovered from a major operation, but following that, she was striken with appendicitis, the effects of which caused her death. Miss Bosse lived and worked in Winnetka several years, and those who knew her will feel a deep loss in her death. She is survived by a sis- ter living in Michigan. Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Grambling, who made their home until last May at 1700 Highland avenue, Wilmette, have moved into their new home at 1143 Ash street, Winnetka.
