The bill author- izes the board to act as a mainte- nance contractor for any village which agrees to furnish funds for the purpose. Wilmette has now au- thorized the use of money already raised by special tax levy to pay bills incurred by the park board. Beginning next Saturday, squads of park policemen will patrol the road and speeders who violate the regulations applying to park drives will be promptly taken in hand. The new law is applicable only where permanent pavement has been laid, and this is now true through Wilmette, New Trier township and Kenilworth.
