Wallace, in speaking against my candidacy for Marshal and Collector, stated that his suspicions were aroused when anyone sought to give back any money to the Village, and, also, that [ was a candidate for this office ten years ago. My only motive in allowing my name to be presented was to save the Village $550 a year, for I cannot con- | ceive why a Village like Winnetka should pay one of its citizens $550 a year to have him promise to do nothing. I' have been a resident in Winnetka for almost thirty years and never be- fore have I been a candidate for any office. Ten years ago | was in the military service of the United States and could not have been a candidate for any office, as Mr. Wallace stated. Mr. Wallace has either been misin- formed or else is very careless in his statements. Yours sincerely, A. Lee Adams "ERFECT PLUMBING S THE THING -- YOUR_ F you give your home the prop- er spring tonic, chances are you won't have to take one your- self this season.
