XVII, NO. 16 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, JUNE 23, 1928 PRICE FIVE CENTS OLD DOBBIN TABOO IN OUR MOTORIZED TOWN Remnant of Winnetka's Munici- pal Equine Equipment Gives Way to Iron Steeds Old Dobbin must pass along. Motors are to replace the four re- maining horses which the Village has retained, principally for use in the winter time, on snow plows. The fire engine horses were the first to go. Then came the other various motor driven trucks, and now, faithful old Dobbin, secure in the belief that the sputtering motor would "never sup- plant him on those cold winter days in bucking snow drifts off sidewalks, awakens to the fact that man's in- genuity has prevailed in this field, also, and Winnetka's machinery equipment is to be completely motorized. This action was taken at the meet- ing of the Village council Tuesday eve- ning, following a recommendation by Trustee-Walter A. Strong. Because of improvements in, and re- liability of motor equipment for this service, and the reduction in cost, the Village feels it is no longer justified in retaining the horses. The council approved the recom- mendation of Trustee Strong and authorized Village Manager H. L. Woolhiser to replace the horses and wagons with the necessary motor equipment, Northbrook Seeks Water Supply From Winnetka Village Trustee Walter A. Strong, chairman of the water and light com- mittee, announced at the meeting of the Winnetka Village council Tuesday evening the receipt of a communica- tion from the Village of Northfield, making inquiry as to the possibility of that municipality securing water service from Winnetka, the water to be supplied to Northfield at the Win- netka west limits at Willow road. Considerable discussion followed concerning the legal obligation upon the part of Winnetka to furnish water inside of its limits, and also in regard to the terms on which the contract should be drawn. The proposition was referred at length to the water and light commit- tee for further consideration and re- port at the next meeting of the council. One-Way Drive Violators Encounter Police Censure Continued abuse of the one-way traf- fic privilege over the drive directly west of the depot, between Elm and Oak streets, has resulted in a police order barring the public from this roadway except for railroad traffic. Signs to this effect have been posted at both ends of the drive, and the police are gradually aiding the motorist in learning that he cannot use this short cut route from Elm to Oak street. "WAYSIDE VOICES"--SERMON The Rev. James Austin Richards will preach at the Winnetka Congrega- tional church Sunday morning at 11 o'clock on the subject, "Wayside Voices." Center Street to Have "Stop Signs" at Intersection As a further measure of safety in traffic, the Winnetka Village council will erect "stop" signs at the intersec- tion of all streets entering Center street, beginning at Cherry street and extending south to Winnetka avenue. Illuminated warning signs are to be placed at Linden street at its intersec- tion with Willow street, Recommendation for these devices was made by Trustee H. IL. Raclin, at the meeting of the Village coungil Tuesday evening, approved by that body, and Village Manager H. L. Woolhiser was authorized to install the signs at Linden and Willow, while Vil- lage Attorney Frederick Dickinson will draft an appropriate ordinance providing for the Center street "stop" signs. 600 Students in Summer School at New Trier High Six hundred summer school students were enrolled at New Trier last Mon- day morning when summer classes be- gan. This is the second largest summer enrollment in the history of New Trier High school, falling slightly below the record set last year. Additional students are expected to enroll during the week. The summer classes will continue for eight weeks under the direction of Wes- ley L. Brown, director of the research department at the school during the regu- lar winter session. They will be held each day from 8 o'clock in the morning until 12:30 o'clock in the afternoon. Twenty-two teachers are assisting Mr. Brown in the summer work.

Miss Ella M. Shaw will have charge of the high school library during the summer session. Many of the students have enrolled in the New Trier summer school for the purpose of completing their school work in less than the regular four years, while others have entered to make up work in which they have fallen behind. Hearing on Rezoning Plea Set for June 25 An adjourned public hearing on the proposition to rezone the vacant prop- erty at the northwest corner of Elm street and Arbor Vitae road, from re- sidential to "C" commercial, will be held by the Winnetka Zoning commis- sion, Monday evening, June 25.

SLAY RABID FELINE Mouser Joins Towser in Giving Our Police Plenty of Worry In War to Check Epidemic The epidemic of canine rabies in Winnetka is not only spreading among the dogs but there has been, during the week, one case of "feline" rabies reported. A cat, suffering from rabies, bit Mrs. Godfrey Lundberg, of 435 Birch street, last week and also scratched Patrol- man Harold Lewis on the hand, when he called to kill the animal. A rabid dog was picked up Wedries- day, at the Hubbard Woods garage, Tower road and Center street. It was a stray animal, and, as far as known, had not bitten any persons. Since the proclamation of President Henry F. Tenney, on May 28, that Winnetka dogs permitted on the streets of the village shall wear muzzles, Louis Paynter, the official dog catcher, has empounded 102 canines, whose owners either wilfully or carelessly failed to comply with the Village or- ders. Some of these dogs have been killed, but in most instances the owners came, paid the impounding fee and took their pet home. On Thursday of last week, only one unmuzzled dog was found running at large in the village, but this week Paynter has been bringing in from four to five a day, indicating that some of the dog owners are getting care- ess. 3 The Police department and the dog catcher want it understood that there is to be no let-up in their vigilance, as long as there continue to be new outbreaks of rabies every week. The same drastic measures inau- gurated a month ago, to curb the epidemic, are still in force and full co-operation of people who own dogs is urged. The day is gone when 'any old printing" was good enough ...... SO CALL WINNETKA 2000 --the number of LrLoyp HOLLISTER INC. OUTLINE BATTLE PLAN IN MOSQUITO WARFARE Sanitary District and County Officials to Co-operate With Abatement Districts Chicago and its regional communities have finally sounded the crack of doom for the mosquito pest. These insects, equipped for an unsuspected flying range, are to be eliminated, once and for all. This decision followed an address made by President T. J, Crowe of the Sani- tary District of Chicago, at a meeting this week held in his office and at which were the trustees of the North Shore Mosquito Abatement districts as well as officials of the Forest Preserve district. As a result of Mr. Crowe's remarks outlining a tentative program, a Chi- cago Regional Mosquito Abatement agreement has been entered upon, with the hearty support of Dr. Franklin M. Martin of the Gorgas Memorial Institute of Tropical and Preventive Medicine. Supporting Mr. Crowe's suggestion were Dr. S. S. Fuller and J. Lyle Clarke, chief engineer of the North Shore dis- tict, M. S. Szymczak, Superintendent of the Forest Preserve district; Herman N. Bundesen, M. D., medical director of the Sanitary district, and Arthur E. Gor- man, epidemiologist in Dr. Bundesen's department. Full co-operation is given by the Board of County Commissioners in connection with the plan of elimination of mosquito breeding grounds in the Forest Preserve District, the Des Plaines river, Salt Creek, the Skokie Marsh and other places. Outlines Abatement Plans In furtherance of his plan President Crowe made the following suggestions: That the Chicago Sanitary district eliminate or control by oiling or other means mosquito breeding on its property and along waterways used by the district for sanitation or drainage purposes. The North Shore and Des Plaines Valley Mosquito Abatement districts to eliminate or control by oiling or other means mosquito breeding within their re- spective districts exclusive of the area to be controlled by the Sanitary dis- trict; and in addition, such areas be- yond their corporate' limits which are necessary for effective control of mos- quito breeding in the region agreed upon for control. The County commissioners to co-oper- ate in the control of mosquito breeding in Forest Preserves and adjacent prop- erties by providing adequate by-passes around dams in waterways passing through the preserves and operating these by-passes to permit such regulation of the stream as may be necessary to control mosquito breeding. To provide | for drainage of swampy area within the forest preserves and along the rights-of- way of county highways. The Gorgas Memorial Institute to serve in a con- sultant capacity to end of the above or- ganization. The development of details for a gen- eral co-operative program, consistent with the above policies, to be delegated to a board of engineers, one from each of the Mosquito Abatement, Districts, the Cook County Forest Preserve Dis- trict, The Sanitary District and the Gorgas Memorial Institute.
