Praises Efficiency of Our Townshio Officials The faithful and efficient service of New . Trier township officials received deserved recognition at the annual Town meeting held at Community House in Winnetka, Tuesday after- noon at 2 o'clock, in an appropriate expression voiced by Benjamin F. Langworthy. These officials, in the performance of the routine duties of their respective offices, do not come in for the usual share of public recognition so often showered upon office holders. The annual Town meetings seldom attract a "corporal's guard," and, naturally, the Township officials ap- preciated the commendation expressed by Mr. Langworthy, who said that he, on behalf of the citizens of the town- ship, wished to congratulate the offi- cials for the efficient manner in which the affairs of the township govern- men* were conducted the past year.
