XVII, NO. 12 WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, MAY 26, 1928 PRICE FIVE CENTS TAKE DRASTIC ACTION TO STAMP OUT RABIES President Tenney Issues Procla- mation and Calls Upon Vil- lagers to Assist { iBecause of the hazard to public health resulting from a serious epi- demic of canine rabies now existing in Winnetka and other north shore vil- lages, it is been deemed necessary for the safety of the inhabitants of the village to require that all dogs running at large shall be securely muz- zled, and a proclamation to this effect has been issued by President Harry F. Tenney in accordance with the pro- visions of the Municipal code, to take effect on Monday, May 28. The proclamation, ,in substance, is the first paragraph of a letter which was mailed out by village authorities to the dog owners of Winnetka, as one of the first drastic steps which it is felt is imperative to safeguard the welfare of the community. President Tenny's proclamation ap- pears on another page of this paper, and his letter, which was mailed to Winnetka dog owners, reads as fol- lows: . Situation Serious "It should be noted that this proc- lamation eliminates the alternative of immunization, as it is felt that the present emergency is so serious as to make it absolutely necessary that all dogs be kept at home or on a leash, unless provided with a secure muzzle. "It is recommended, however, that all dog owners have their pets immun- ized against rabies, if this has not been done within the past year, as an additional precaution. "Because of the present danger to residents of the Village, particularly children, the police department has been instructed to impound all dogs found running at large on and after Monday May 28. It is not our desire to act arbitrarily in this matter, and this letter is being addressed to dog owners with a request for their co- operation in keeping their dogs con- fined to the premises or on a leash un- til the present emergency is termin- ated. It is realized that the muzzling of dogs is not an ideal remedy, but it is the only legal means available to the council whereby the menace of stray or infected dogs can be re- moved. Ask Prompt Response "The village government has always had the public spirited co-operation of its citizens in past emergencies, and, in this case where the safety of our chil- dren is particularly involved, I trust that there may be a very general re- sponse to this appeal." Woman and Child Hori in Automobile Crash Cars driven by Mrs. William Hart- shorn, of 1025 Qak street, and Paul Owsley, of 337 Cedar street, collided at Ash street and Glendale avenue, Thursday morning about 10 o'clock. Mrs. Hartshorn and her baby were slightly injured and both cars were considerably damaged. Officer H. C. Lewis, who reported the accident, said the Owsley car skidded thirty-six feet when Owsley clamped on the brakes in his effort to avoid the crash.

Washburne many questions concerning the teaching methods employed in the local school system. The June 1 meeting comes in con- sequence of a similar discussion held at the Skokie school May 17 when a group of parents not thoroughly in accord with methods employed in the Winnetka instruction system met at the call of Superintendent Washburne issued in response to definite reports of complaints or misunderstandings re- ceived from parents of public school children. At that meeting of three hours' duration many questions were asked and duly noted by Mr. Wash- burne and it was the sense of those present that the session be adjourned to June 1 and that all parents of pub- lic school children be invited to par- ticipate in the discussion. A notice of the June 1 meeting ex- presses the hope "that every mother and father who is deeply interested in but not entirely satisfied with the system which now obtains in the Win- netka schools will make it convenient to be present at the meeting and en- gage in the general discussion. Call Public Hearing on Rosewood Ave. Resurfacing The Winnetka board of local im- provements has called an informal pub- lic hearing for Monday evening, May 28, to consider the resurfacing of Rose- wood avenue, from Vine to Oak streets, by special tax, with a considerable por- tion of the cost to come from the vehicle tax fund. The proposed work will include re- moval of the existing asphaltic top, repairing the concrete base, and the addition of a three-inch bituminous penetration wearing surface, with a double seal coat of tarvia and gravel. Notices were sent out this week by President H. F. Tenney, to interested property owners, requesting their at- tendance at this meeting.
