M *T?fff|5*",fww|^ «l Voice Sentiments of Residentt z !dl ikt* Section* itt^«b PoliceGet Pretty ThiefWtnted Considerable excitement has been generated at the North End because of the proposed discontinuance of the car service. A meeting of the directors of the North End Improve- ment association was held Monday at the residence of Charles mT Cart- wright ;,h| '"& Bvanston. The war> rlors from the north girded on their battling armor and a meeting of the clan Is scheduled for the night of the 20th, at which alt the members and allies of theTNorWJ»n'd improvement association will be present. At this time a further campaign of "persua- sion" and inducement will be mapped out againBt the obdurate Sherman ave- nue property holders. . Howe le diplomatic Charles M. Howe, president of the North End organisation, was very nonchalant when he was called away from the meeting by a reporter from The Daily.Newf; to respond to a vol- ley of queries regarding the proposed action of the residents In that sec tion. He refused to state what the at- titude of his constituents Is, or prob- ably will be, and stated that probably ; The work done by the Health de- partment of the city of Bvanston since the inauguratioii of the new era a year ago last snmmer speaks weU for those who have the work in charge and for the progressiveness of the cit- izens of Bvanston. There art few cities in the country the else of Bv- anston which have such careful health protection, and which can boast of such splendid facilities for investiga- tion and supervision of the puNic health that Bvanston possesses. . ?■' Aim to Prevent Diseases. the scope of the department dur- ing the past year has been the pre- vention of disease, and the checking of disease when it has arisen. One phase of the work has contributed especially to this result During the entire year the school children of the city have been inspected daily by special physician employed for that purpose. Reports to the Health de- partment are made daily and the con ditiOns prevailing in the various schools are carefully noted. Laboratory Useful to Many. The laboratory of the city is, open for the nse of physicians and of the public' in general. Not only has it been of use to Bvanston, but neigh boring north shore towns have also profited by it Several of these towns have had work done in the laboratory at a nominal charge. Professor Lewis, the city chemist and bacteriologist, has been responsible for the selection of chemical supplies and arrangement of utilities. Dr. Balderston, the health commissioner, should receive the credit for the foresight and mod ern Ideas which he has adopted. Numerous Teats Made. The department has charge of all the tests of food and liquid supplies used by the people and inhabitants. In addition to the tests made of the water regularly, the milk supplied by the various dealers is tested at certain Intervals, gad every precau- tion is taken to prevent the inception or spread of disease from these ma- terials; Daring the summer a letter was sent out to all retailers of food- stuffs, giving them Instructions as to the care of food, and as to the hand- ling of it geven Hundred Tests In Year. Tests were also made of the ice cream used at the various dispensa- ries in the cities and of the soda foun- tain supplies: During the past year over 700 tests have been made of Water, mUk and foodstuffs, -besides the regular experimentation going on an the time at the laboratory. Inspection of Children Effective. The Inspection of the children has brought out some) ot> the diseases which could be prevented, especially tie Investigation of children's eyes, in several cases, the cause could be traced directly to the Insufficiency of llgkt and this condition wherever found, has been remedied. The Ev- the council committee on anston Hospital has placed a ward at hut, according to Chairman Charles 8. the disposal: oTtto^ hoard for ewery Wallace, it has not been received. The the prbtesFmeetin^wouM be heldhon the 20th «of this month, though the date was Jnst "tentative." Further information about the decision that the board of directors came to Monday night could not be extracted. It was elicited from other sources, however, that the property owners in that part of the city- are decidedly of the opin ion that they do hot desire to ex change the present service furnished by the street cars that disturb the slumbers of the Sherman avenue prop- erty holders for the more noiseless but less substantial and certain serv- ice of the proposed bus line. They axe of the opinion that they are entitled to_the present service as they bought Jfc property in that sec- tion, relying on the continuance of the franchise, and do not think it fair to lose this valuable feature of their present location. Humphrey: 8ees_No Change. Mr. Wirt E^ Humphrey, when ques- tioned by a representative of The Daily News concerning the present stand of the Sherman Avenue asso- ciation of which be is president, stat- ed that he had not been approached by any member of the committee that was appointed by President Macpher- son of the Bvanston Commercial as- sociation to _try to bring about an understanding. He stated that he awaited with Interest the action of the North End association, and said that the organization of which he is president stood about as they had before. The Dally News has not been able to get any definite, information on the proposed bus line. It was understood that a proposition would be made to railroads, />fi^fgft Motor Transportation com- pany not 111 West Adams street, Chl- pay for cago, when Questioned by a represen- tative of The Daily News admitted It is interesting to note that all the that they,have the matter under con- inltial expenseijs* the; labosnttax w« sld^ to nsake any Out Thefts A Swedish girt, who worked on the sympathies of two Swedish m^ in Bvanston during, m.. .pis^tw^:|pi| months and capitaW the sympathy :ggg| and got away the first time, was;taken;,;,v||ll| mto custody by the ;polico|^^ The woman gave her maiden name as ^|ffgg Emma: SWanson*-n^-;:s|ate^ had :peen nmrrte^;*^e^^ 'New York ^/a^altoV^'ii^ttame.

Having found Bvanston-a haven before, she again directed her course in this direction, and this time appealed to the Rev. Anderson at Ben- son avenue and ' Clark street. He found her lodgings with the family of S. W.

She claims to have been in the Dun- ning, Kankakee, and Elgin Insane asylums. She appears very rational today, and no traces of insanity could be detected.^^ Htoveral thinga which she stole from the Swedish Home for Girls in Chicago were found tn her trunk. The purse belonging to Mrs. Mahon was also recovered. There are also new pieces of silk and other cloth in her trunk, and the police be- lieve that she has been devoting her spare moments to shoplifting.
