March 31, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 15 PREPARE EARLY START IN MOSQUITO WARFARE Appoint William Edwards Su- perintendent of North Shore Abatement Area The North Shore Mosquito Abate- ment district is preparing for an early campaign in the organized warfare against the little pest which it is " planned to drive from the Skokie val- ley and north shore area, for which scientific and detailed methods are being formulated. A large map of the area comprising the district has been ordered and smaller sectional maps will be prepared for the guidance of the workers in carrying out the detailed plan. En- gineer Don E. Marsh, of the firm of Windes & Marsh, met with the trus- tees, Wednesday evening and advised them relative to the map equipment, orders for which were placed with this firg. Bids were received for the necessary motorized equipment to carry on the work, but these bids were all rejected, because, it was said, they were too high. Other bids will be obtained at once, it is said, that there may be no delay in getting to work at an early date. Edwards Superintendent William Edwards, of Glencoe, has been appointed superintendent of the district at a salary of $5000 a year. He has withdrawn from the firm of William Edwards & Son, and has turned the business in all its details over to his son and others who have been active in its management, that he may devote his entire time to the Mosquito Abatement district work. Marvin E. Nevins, member of the village board of trustees, of Glencoe, has been appointed to succeed Mr. Ed- wards as member of the Mosquito Abatement district board. Arthur Stringer, of Evanston, one of the origi- nal five members of the district trus- tees, has been elected president of the board, the office held by Mr. Edwards, prior to his appointment as superin- tendent. The other board members are F. L. Streed, of Kenilworth; Paul A. Hoff- man, of Wilmette and H. C. Phillips, of Winnetka. Major E. M. Skinner is the engineer and Miss Bertha L. Mann of Glencoe is secretary, Miss Mann having recently resigned her position as secretary in the Glencoe village office, to accept the position with the Mosquito Abatement district board, at a salary of $200 per month. In making announcement of Mr. Ed- wards' apointment as superintendent and manager of the North Shore Mos- quito Abatement district, Mr. String- er said: "The committee which 'has been charged with the duty of securing a competent superintendent and manager, followed the advice of J. A. LePrince, senior sanitary engineer of the United States Public Health service. He point- ed out that it was essential to have a man of absolute dependability, who would conscientiously perform the multitude of details connected with eradication methods. "Mr. Edwards has been identified with the movement to free the North Shore of mosquitoes since 1925. Dur- ing those three years he has given his time unstintingly, and as a volunteer worker actually directed the field work in the Glencoe district. He was executive chairman of the Glencoe Mosquito Abatement association; pre- sident of the North Shore Mosquito Abatement association; first president of the board of trustees of the North Shore Mosquito Abatement district; worked for the proper legislation for the formation of the districts and or- ganized and put over the campaign to create this district of four townships which polled a vote of aproximately nine to one in favor of this proposi- tion. "His ability as an organizer and an executive is well known on the north shore and he is thoroughly familiar with the work under the Gorgas plan of eradication and has the confidence of the Sanitary district board and the County Board of Commissioners in this work. "When the subject of his appoint- ment was broached to him some time ago, he agreed to consider the matter in the event that certain arrange- ments could be mage, whereby he could accede to the committee's wishes to devote his full time to the project. "This he did, and the Board was quick to recommend his appointment, and the committee has confidence that WILSON BROTHERS HABERDASHERY STETSON HATS HART SCHAFFNER © MARX CLOTHES To the ladies You are particularly welcome at Fell's.
