This condition causes lateral sewers in Winnetka to back up following heavy rains. The Village council Tuesday evening passed a resolution authorizing Vil- lage President, John S. Miller, to com- municate with the Sanitary District board requesting that it make an in- spection and repair and close up storm water connections. This action was taken by the Vil- lage officials as a result of findings re- ported following an inspection 'by Frank A. Windes, village engineer. > Xmas Home Baked Specialties Ud lillie iiiiiiiiiididiiddeiiddddddii didi iii ddddiddd ddd dddd ddd dbidildldds Ny Ny Winn. 1365 1077 Gage St. Hubbard Woods N \ N N \ N LSLSSLLSSLSSLLLSSSLLSSLLSLSSLLLSSLSSSSSLLLS LSS ISLLSSLLLLLSLLLL SSS L SSL SSLLSSSSTLS SSS SSIS SSIS SSS SSSI SS SSS SAL SS SS LLL SSSA S11 PLACE 'CORNERSTONE Ayres Boal, Chairman of Building Committee, Officiates at Country Day School Ceremony The cornerstone for the new assem- bly hall at the North Shore Country Day school was formally laid Wednes- day morning, December 8, in the pres- ence of the school, teachers and par- ents. Ayres Boal, chairman of the building committee for the new audi- torium, in the presentation speech, likened the growth of this school to a stone that, once started rolling on its way, gathered force by its own mo- mentum. He said that the completion of this new building will mark the final stage in the physical growth of the school, but that the development of this en- dowed school as a community enter- prise will continue on into the future. Spokesmen for the different grades and departments of the school then offered their contributions to be sealed into the cornerstone. The Lower school presented a document containing the signatures of all its members and their duties on the school committees. The six upper grades each contri- buted papers stating their appreciation to the parents for the building, their hopes for the future of the school and their present responsibilities in the school. The physical director laid in the box a purple athletic emblem "N" as a sym- bol of the standard of responsibility to- wards which every boy and girl aims. The faculty contributed a statement of the ideals of the school and the names of the staff. Mr. Boal then locked the strong box of the cornerstone and sealed it with the same trowel that had been used for the ceremony of dedicating Dunlap hall. Take Steps to Get Strict Observance of "Stop" Warning The stop signs erected on west Elm street, Winnetka, last year, are to be changed to signs cautioning persons entering this main thoroughfare from cross streets. This action was taken by the Village council at its meeting Tuesday eve- ning, following the presentation by H. L. Raclin, chairman of the street, drainage and forestry committee of a communication from Burton Atwood, stating that the stop signs on West Elm street are not now observed and suggesting that inasmuch as the Vil- lage has not the authority to compel observance of the "stop" order, that the signs be changed. Villages having a population of 10,000 or over may legally enforce this feature of traffic, and Winnetka, ac- cording to the last official census was not up to the 10,000 mark in popula- tion, although, unofficially, the popu- lation is placed in excess of that figure. The school census last summer showed a population considerably over 10,000 and the village, it is said, is consider- ing the matter of taking an official count, soon. Village Manager H. I. Woolhiser was instructed to make a survey of the traffic on west Elm street to determine to just what extent the stop signs are being violated.
