At its meeting Monday evening of this week the Chamber authorized its Civics committee, Hoyt King, chair- man, to institute an investigation to determine the cost of such a procedure to the taxpayers of the community, The Township park bond issue pro- position when introduced by Carl E. Sterner, evoked animated discussion. Village President Earl E. Orner, -who was a visitor at the meeting, gave it as his opinion, when asked for an expres- sion on the matter, that the ultimate cost of the acquisition of "No Man's Land" for park purposes would be nearer $5,000.000 than $500,000. The committee charged with looking into the cost to the individual taxpayer, in the event the bond issue is approved by the voters, is to report at the next meeting of the Chamber, early in March. Similar check-up work is to be done by the Winnetka Chamber of Com- merce and the Indian Hill (south Win- netka) Improvement association, it was learned this week.

Jarrett, residing at 534 Essex road, Kenilworth, was the victim of an attack by a burglar whom he dis- covered in the act of robbing his home late last Sunday evening. Mr. Jarrett was returning from an out-of-town trip and upon turning on the lights in his house, was surprised to meet a stranger descending the stairs from the upper floor. Thinking that it might be a guest of his son, Mr. Jarrett spoke to him and a moment later re- ceived a blow on the side of the head. The bandit beat a hasty exit.. Help was immediately summoned from the home of a neighbor, George C. Richards, who with twelve guests responded in force and joined the Kenilworth police in a fruitless search for the maurauder. The robber had evidently been surprised before he had made any great progress in his search for valuables, as nothing was taken. Because of a death in the family, the dinner dance planned by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Weingarten, 80 Lincoln avenue, in celebration of their wedding anni- versary, will be postponed till March. Word comes from the Paris office of the Chicago Daily Tribune, that Mr. and Mrs. John O'Connor of 149 Kenilworth avenue, Kenilworth, are at present in Paris. They are planning to extend their trip until about the first of April Exceptional Opportunity for a Live Wire at Winnetka If you have a broad acquaintance, good social standing and reputation in Win- netka, and know how to approach and interest investors,--representing a con- servative investment house offering sound real estate securities, under a plan en- tirely new in Chicago, you can earn a large income and quickly build up a satis- fied clientele.
