12 WINNETKA TALK August 11, 1928 Villages to Fight Thistles Without Aid of Township According to a decision recently re- ceived from the office of the state's at- torney, the jurisdiction of John Balmes, officially designated as town- ship thistle commissioner, the man whose duty it is to seek out and ex- terminate Canada thistles in the town- ship, does not extend into the incorpo- rated villages in New Trier. His duties are limited to the portions of the township which are without the villages, which, since the large annex- ations of territory by many of the vil- lages, does not include a very large area. This interpretation of the law was read at the meeting of the auditing board of New Trier township Monday evening. Last year the township ex- pended something like $1,500 for cut- ting thistles, about $500 of which was collected from property owners on whose premises the work was done and who, in every instance, are presumed to pay for it, whenever it is possible to collect it. The various villages have been ad- vised that hereafter they will be re- quired to attend to cutting Canada thistles within their respective borders, pursuant to the ruling received. Township Supervisor Gertrude M. Thurston said: "We will be glad to co-operate with the villages in this matter, in any way, if after receipt of our letter, they desire to do so.' BREAKS SHOULDER Miss Nathalie Tourje, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Tourje, 401 Haw- thorn lane, has returned from the Evanston hospital where she has been for the past two weeks on account of a broken shoulder, which happened while diving at the Elder Lane beach.
