The proposition carried 63 to 15. The election was held Saturday, Oc- tober 23, at the store of Alex Levernier. The next step in the process of estab- lishing a new village will be the elec- tion of a board of trustees and other officials. The United Realty company al- ready has subdivided into residence lots the 120 acres lying immediately east of the tracks and north of Wil- low road, where it also maintains a large real estate office for the sale and further development of its holdings. Wau Bun, which was formerly | known as Northfield, and which the North Shore line recently announced would continue to be the name, is now officially established since the election, as a village two miles square. The north boundary is on a line, extend- | ed, from Tower road or North ave- nue ; the éast boundary is near Hibbard road; the south boundary is Winnet- ka avenue and the west boundary, Kotz road. The judges at the election last Sat- urday were Alex Levernier, John P. Happ and Mrs. Emma Higgins. The clerks were, Albert Ottone, Albert Gersdorf and Bernard Schildgen.
