Rate increases set forth in the amended ordinance are briefly these: l*or all water supplied by the vil- lage the consumer is to be charged as follows: For the first 20,000 cubic feet, or part thereof, at the rate of $2..% per thousand cubic feet. For excess consumed over 20,000 cubic feet uo to 27.000 cubic feet, at the rate of $2 per thousand cubic feet.

Provision for discount of 5 per cent is made in ♦he event of the pavment of the water Kill on or before the fifteenth day of the month in which-the bill is due and payable. Increase in water rates here has Keen found necessary in view of an »*>proximate 2> per cent increase in ♦he s»n»ount rhareed the villaee Kv the City of Evanston. the source of the local water snpoly. Increased cost of operation at the water o»ant and necessity for extensive alterations and improvements in the plaut are said tor-be- responsible for the ad- vance in water rates both to the vil- lage and to the individual consumer. 'Floundering 'Plane Spread General Scare Sighted on Waters off Kenilworth Provides Work for Coast Guards but Fliei Far, Far Away VACATION IN WISCONSIN W. A. Turner of t^ McAKrtjer- Worthen Company.

That a hydroplane had descended to "he w?ter was substantiated by Mrs. c. Cm. Burnham arid-her small son, a Boy Scout, of 536 Roslyn Place, Ken- ilworth. who upon sighting the plane, apparently in distress, summoned the coast guards. Subsequent calls were received at the station reporting the craft had collapsed and was in dire distress. Searching about in the darkness the guards failed to locate any trace of the plane and it was learned later the craft had taken wing and departed for the hangars at the Great Lakes Naval Training station. SLIPS UP ON TRAFFIC CODE; LOCAL WOMAN CORRECTS HIM Failure to signal his intention of *urnini» a corner was costly to Wil- liam Butler, of Milwaukee.

According to Mrs. Moreau, Butler turned east on Foster street without signaling in the usual way. Butler was forced to drive his car into a tree to avoid hitting the other car. His car was damaged. BANK EXAMINER Quintin J. Campbell, Wilmette res- ident and formerly cashier of the First National Bank oi Wilmette. has Seen appointed assistant State Bank Examiner of theâ€"state of Illinois.

The Wilmette State Bank and the First National Bank of Wil- mette wiH close their doors at â€"10 oVknk on Weunesday.^Ang- t»st 24k New Trier Day.

Display Keen Interest in Village Af- fairs and in Matters Pertain- ing to Township as a Whole New Trier Day, the single event of the'year that attracts universal in- terest in the township, is, each year, sponsored and carried out under the direction of the New Trier Commer- cial association, a township-wide civ- ic organization of business men which claims members in every village in New-Trier.---^ '/' . â- ' The suburban character of north shore villages, with the attendant scarcity of factories and large indus- trial institutions, tends to detract from the fact that villages in New Trier Township really possess many business" houses, several substantial banks and manufacturing places which, while for the most part com- paratively small, are nevertheless, important factors in community de- velopment. Genuine Boosters The New Trier Commercial associ- ation membership is made up largely of these progressive business men who are not alone interested in business but have at heart, as well, the welfare of the communities in which they live and do business, and in the town-* ship in which these villages are locat- ed. Members of this association may be counted as genuine boosters of the north shore. They are interested, in- dividually and as an organisation, in every forward movement in fhe town- ship and have repeatedly backed bet- terment movements of varied charac- ter. Because of the very nature of the north .shore-rhc Commercial associa- tion has. at times, not asserted itself as~ forcefully as~ might be expected, but always there have been a few staunch leaders in the organization who have persevered, pulled over the rough spots and been successful in injecting new life and vigor into the association. Gates Natural Leader One of these men is Henry B. Gates, president of the association and di- recting genius of the north shore de- partments of the Illinois Telephone Company. Mr. Gates is a residentof Wilmette and has been an active member of the Commercial associa- tion since its inception several years ago. Another dominant factor in the success of the organization is A.S. Van Deusen. Wilmette grocer, and General chairman of New Trier Day committee. Mr. Van Deusen has been a north shore business man for almost thirty years, and is regarded by his associates as the great "bal- ance wheel" of the commercial asso- ciation. There are many other equally pro- gressive members who have stood bv faithfu'ly and are alwavs nrepared to "roll up their sleeves'* when real work is to be done. They are lead- ers in their own communities and New Trier boosters as well. Among them may he counted Dan G. Stiles. Movd l7. HoUHer. Homer Cazel. F. H. Oathercoal. lohn C. Gapen, A. C.

COMMUTER ECONOMIZES AS TROLLEY RATES INCREASE Although the Interstate Commerce Commission has authorized an in- crease in rates in Illinois and Wis- consin and although the North Shore line has reduced the wares of its Employes, that company claims that the new rates wiH not result in any great increase in its eross revenue. This is due to the fact that patrons who formerly bought single-ride tickets are now buytne commutation tickets at lower rates than the old ones they say. Tne company al«o points out that its employes have been receiving from 1200 to $29* a month. The recent w»*e rednctyw* was less than that m-»de by trans- portation companies genera nV the country. .^^^^,.^.â- â- â- â- -. -â- ^^^"â- MBMfa^1^^ _________________________ ^HM iiiii
