June 2, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 41 MAKES ANNUAL REPORT TO WINNETKA COUNCIL (Continued from Page 17) ing their own clean-up day, on which papers were picked up in all parts of the Village. The only really serious housekeep- ing problem remaining unsolved is that of the condition of the rear of business property, particularly adjoin- ing residential zones. Many of our business proprietors are new in Win- netka and have not as yet learned to appreciate Winnetka's standard of cleanliness and good order. It is hoped that through some agency, pos- sibly the improvement associations, higher ideals can be inculcated. Complaints Reduced During the year a special effort was made to render. our waste collection service in a manner satisfactory to householders, and the success of this effort is shown in the following com- parative records of complaints received last year, as compared with the pre- ceding year: Previous Complaints Last Year Year Garbage 210 278 Ashes 153 264 Rubbish 130 114 493 656 When it is considered that approxi- mately 13,000 household stops are made each week by the garbage, ash and rubbish collectors, the foregoing records of complaints is one of which we are rather proud. During the year $2,200 was spent on sewer cleaning and repairs. Because of the fact that with the growth in population and because considerable areas of the Vil- lage are not equipped with storm Sewers our sanitary sewer system is occasionally overloaded after storms. It is recommended that the Council give serious consideration to the ex- tension of storm sewers to sections of the Village not so equipped, particu- larly in those sections where property owners have been inconvenienced by basement flooding after heavy rains. The work of mosquito abatement was again handled during the year by the Village for the Citizen's Abate- ment committee. This will be the last year for such service on the part of the Village, as a result of the organi- zation of the North Shore Mosquito Abatement district.
