March 24, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 67 NORTHFIELD PREPARES FOR SECOND ELECTION Administration of Youngest North Shore Village Faced by Many Problems While north shore villages are all set, with nominations made and plat- forms adopted, for the annual spring election only a little more than a week in the future, Northfield, Win- netka's sister village to the west and the youngest village in this rapidly growing area, is just now laying plans for its second annual contest in ballot- ing. The north shore villages will hold their elections on Tuesday, April 3. The date of the Northfield election is Tuesday, April 17. Northfield was incorporated as a vil- lage less than two years ago. The terms of three trustees, Fred Haut, John Efflandt and John Seul expire this spring. At the first election last April there were two tickets in the field but thus far there is no assur- ance that there will be more than one ticket, although there are some rumors that there may again be a contest. Nominations have not been made, but already there is underway the usual preliminary work necessary to the spring campaign. Northbrook has been too busy the past year laying plans for its growth and development to give much time to the thought of contests over civic problems. Have Zoning Problem The present officials are still work- ing out a zoning and village planning ordinance, one which will be suited to the new requirement of the new vil- lage with a two-mile square area lying 'on either side of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad and the Skokie Valley Electric line. There has already sprung up quite an industrial section along these splen- did lines of transportation where con- ditions, it is anticipated, will attract many other business concerns in the near future. Besides this mile or more of indus- trial territory along the railroads, there are also being considered in the new ordinance provisions for an ex- tensive business or commercial area along Willow road, on either side of the tracks for some distance, and also north and south on a section of Happ road. Considerable study is being given to the proposed apartment area, for which it is said provision will be made to considerable extent. The greater part of Northfield, how- ever, is being confined to strictly resi- dential areas, in many of which pro- visions are being planned for wise and proper building restrictions to in- sure a development in keeping with the plans of the many high grade sub- divisions which now feature practically every part of the corporate limits, other than the business and commer- cial sections. The village has a board of local im- provements by which plans for many of the proposed improvements are being studied. Water Supply a Problem The question of an adequate water supply will be one of the early prob- lems of the village. A sewer system will be an essential improvement and plans for the extension up through this area of the sanitary district sewer is being followed with much interest by Northfield. No steps have been taken toward procuring a supply of lake water, but many Northfield residents are hoping that, as the village of Winnetka will very soon terminate its contract to supply Glencoe with water, owing to the latter village having built its own water works plant, Winnetka may be induced to sell water to Northfield. It is also said that in the event ar- rangements of this nature cannot be made with Winnetka, that Glencoe may be induced to furnish this supply, by means of a main from the north limits of Northfield, to the large supply main which it is proposed to extend from Gencoe to Northbrook in order to supply the latter village with water. Extensive building operations have already started over in the George F. Nixon subdivision, west of the tracks, where four new residences dot the landscape here and there and where it is said many others are to be built this spring. All of which is proving an incentive toward hastening action for develop- ment of foundation plans for this, the newest village on the Skokie Valley line, where two or three years ago there was only farm acreage. Today it is covered throughout with white and red corner stakes, marking future home sites, and still larger white and red stakes bearing the names of streets and avenues with which the former acres have been intersected. Country Day School Pupils to See Tatterman Puppets The Tatterman Marionettes, from Detroit, will present "Master Pierre Patelin," a puppet play from an old French farce of the fifteenth century. The play will be given in the audit- orium of the North Shore Country Day school, Monday evening, March 26, at 8 p.m. The costumes and set- tings have been deigned from wood cuts in the edition of 1489, and the story has been translated and adapted by Catherine Reighard. In the morn- ing, the Marionettes will present some puppet plays for the children of the school. ; Miss Ethel Hale arrived home yes- terday to spend the spring vacation with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hale of 761 Foxdale avenue.

Odh, who is displaying some very attractive pieces of early American furniture in his store room at 933 Linden avenue, Hubbard Woods, antique pieces which have been re- finished in his own shop at that num- ber, recalls that when he first came to Winnetka about twenty years ago, there was no demand for this type of re- claimed old walnut, maple or other present day popular woods worked into the pleasing designs of an earlier age. Nevertheless, there was furniture to be repaired and that was Mr. Odh's business, and that is what he has been doing ever since he came out from Chicago to grow up with the north shore. Today he not only maintains the well appointed display and sales room in this rapidly growing section of Hubbard Woods, but in the rear of 933 Linden he has developed from a very small beginning a very complete shop with a large force of cabinet workers employed where he does all kinds of furniture repairing, cabinet making, antique furniture work, up- holstering, making box springs and mattresses to order, and like work. Associated with Mr. Odh is his son, Harold, and a little later, his daughter, Miss Winifred, who is now complet- ing her course in interior decorating at the Art Institute, Chicago, will enter the organization in charge of the par- ticular line for which she is now fitting herself. Miss Mary E. Mellor returns today from St. Mary's academy at Knox- ville, to spend the spring vacation with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence L. Mellor of 1094 Pine street.
