Trustee Kemp Opposes. While the ordinance was passed, no definite action was taken on these points, and according to the trustees they Will be considered later. In a very able speech to the board, Trustee Kemp stated the reasons for his ob- jection to the proposed ordinance, the main objection being that a very small proportion of the property own- ers on the streets acected had peti- tioned for the improvement. Ordinance passed, 6 to 1. Before the question was presented for the final vote, Colonel Jacobs, a former member of the board and a large property owner in Glencoe ad- dressed the assemblage and urged the adoption of the ordinance, speaking to^ome extent agaiitst-the^urgmnents stated by Mr. Kemp. The last gpe-ker to take up the question was President Arthur G. Saler of toe board, who stepped out from his posi- tion as chairman to make a few re> W^rts.

This Con- clave, which lasted about two hours, delayed the regular meeting of the council and caused some of the resi- dents of the village who were present to see the wheels of local government move to lose their .desire and leave for home. * | Bids on Water Pumps. The lengthy discussion was occa- sioned by the consideration of bids for the booster pumps to increase the pressure of water in Wilmette. \' At the present time they are getting about ten pounds and the need is much greater. The specifications call for two centrifugal pumps that will increase the pressure to thirty-five pounds. Two bids have been received, but after going over the specifications it was!found that a higher speeded motor was needed to drive the pumps. The bids, therefore, have |been f erred to the companies making with requests to submit new figures. These will be in, and considered >on Saturday afternoon. Council Convenes Late. About ten o'clock the council^roner convened with all members present except Trustee Wade. Routine busi- ness was taken up, and sevejral water bills adjusted and ordered paid, among others, one for $1033/72 to ^e City of Evanston. f *§r: A communication was read from Rev. J. M. Wilson, pastor of the Kh?st Presbyterian Church, suggesting that one of the rooms in the city hall he converted into a reading Iroom, end thrown open to the general public. It was the concensus of o^Iniott|Of the council that this was an unneces- sary step; that the public library took care of this need wen enough, and it would be starting a poor precedent to throw open the village hall to uses not in line with the conduct of local affairs and business. •>-* Station ConsTdered Unsanitary. The Southeast Wilmette Improve- ment association sent in |a ratter lengthy communication complaining about various things in that section of the town. The Chicago & Mil- waukee Railroad came in for a share of abuse, The residents of the-irf- cinity near Fifth street and Greenjiaf street want the waiting station re- moved, for they consider it a useless affair and rather unsightly. Ttoy also complain about the dim street lights; sufficient power not being snp- pHed to keep them bright and in good shape at all times. The station at Wilmette avenue was termed^ an un- sanitary place. It is never heated and what is more, never cleaned, so «*â- * it is of little use as a coxnfprtiWe place to wait for a car.

Frontage Values Increased. In his statement today President U>bdell declared that following the transfer of that portion of Sheridan road between Foster and Devon ave- nues to the Lincoln park conunlsslon- ers, property value* had increased as much as $60 a foot In some cases. He contended that the increase in prop- erty valuations Is merely an incident, but that It developed the fact that the improvement would not he a great expense to the property owners along the route.
