New Service Yard Aid During the year, the new service yard on Center street was found to be of the greatest advantage, improving the qual- ity and efficiency of the service depart. ments of the Village, by providing ade- quate facilities for the storage and main- tenance of mechanical equipment, store- rooms for tools and supplies and a com- fortable and sanitary locker room for the employees. Many favorable comments have been received regarding the artistic and attractive appearance of the service yard building, and it is believed that by continued efforts, the objectionable fea- tures of this establishment, adjacent to high-grade residential property on Wal- den road, can be held at a minimum, Because of the fact that the service yard has been built with a view of fu- ture requirements for many years to come, considerable unused space is avail- able, and by renting this space for the storage of private trucks and cars, a re- venue has been derived by the Village sufficient to carry the added investment and to pay a substantial amount toward the cost of operating the vard. A considerable number of sidewalks in the village, which were below grade or badly broken were relaid during the year by property owners under private con- tract, rather than by special assessment, thereby making possible a saving of at least 15%. This work was done by prop- erty owners in co-operation with the Vil. lage, in carrying out the general pro- gram of gradually replacing dangerous sidewalks and those which are subject to flooding, the village bearing the cost of all sidewalk approaches between the curb and the corner, at street intersections. Two street intersections at Gordon Terrace and Gage street and Gordon Ter- race and Merrill street were improved by rebuilding these corners with curbs of larger radii, on recommendation of the Hubbard Woods Improvement asso- ciation. A number of other street inter- sections in the Village should be sim- ilarly improved, and it is suggested that two or three of the worst corners be taken care of this year. War on Mosquito During the year, the manager had charge of the work of mosquito abate- ment, under a citizens' committee ap- pointed by the Village President, and the cost of this work was kept within the amount contributed voluntarily by citizens, so that no assistance was needed from Village funds. Because of the flooded condition of the Skokie, resulting from an abnormal amount of rainy weather and poor drainage facilities in the Skokie channel, it was impossible to eliminate mosquitoes, but it is believed that the ojling of ditches, low spots and catchbasins within the limits of the Vil- lage of Winnetka and the routine in- spection of private property for breeding places, with resulting cooperation by residents, materially reduced the sever- ity of the mosquito nuisance from what it might otherwise have been. The operation of the street department under Mr. Harold Bohnen, who also acts as superintendent of the electric and water distribution system, has proved very satisfactory and economical, espe- | cially because of the fact that the work of these departments overlap to a con- siderable extent. Big Audience Hears Recital Given as Benefit for Church By Critic' An audience which completely filled Sacred Heart hall, Hubbard Woods, enjoyed the splendid piano recital Tuesday evening by the pupils of Miss Clare C. Bohenski, of the Mandy School of Music. The recital was for the benefit of Sacred Heart church.

Orchestral parts to Concerto No. 7, by Rubenstein, one of the numbers by Miss Bohenski, were played by Mrs. Frank P. Mandy.
