Murray, one may be interested to know, parked his car smack in front °i the Village theatre 'tpther evening when, along came Chief Sieber, who asked him to please not park in front of the theater (parking is forbidden in front of any theater anywhere). Murray remonstrated with the chief, 'tis said, became almost violent in his expostulations, so much so in fact that the chief urgently invited him to talk itâ€" over in the station house. , Murray shortly was introduced to Magistrate Mickey whom 'he is alleged to have greeteoTwIth scant respect. Murray next was afforded an oppor- tunity to conduct a minute inspection of one of. the village's cell spaces. He submitted to a fine of $5 and costs. Murray informed the "powers that he had always looked forward to making Wilmette his future permanent home. Under the existing circumstances he avowed, this he could not now do. Chief Sieber and Magistrate Mickey allowed as how that being the case Wilmette would have to just try and worry along as best it could. ,SK VOTERS FAVOR Superintendent Harper Issues ortant Statement Imp< BY J.

HARPER (Superintendent, Wilmette Public ;â- -........-.......... t TSchobls) t;t -y^~â€"~ r~~ -TJte proposition jglt^ed^ bj^org the W&^iiNbts the fyeatefl tJBpWaiacir in thS development -of- our public school system. For the first, time, as citizens, we are given the opportunity of select- ing a school ground of ample size, not only to care for our present needs but large enough for any developments that may take place in the future. School Space Restricted When former boards Of education selected the present school sites, the question of play space was not a mat- ter of any great consideration. These men and women could not forsee the time when the vast tracts of open land would be occupied by homes. But this change has gradually taken place, and, as a result, we have not only very re- stricted school grounds with no op- portunity of adding to them, but also very little play spaceâ€"away from the school grounds. \At the present time to secure ample space for a new loca- tion we are forced to go to the western part of the village. Must Carry Now IfLJhisLproposiUgn^oes not carry^ ^f^toj^eiâ€"Pastorale now, thfl fthanftea are that these lots will be subdivided andJn_another year it "will be impossible to find such a lo- cation within the limits of the village. It is imperative that we do it now: Personally, I consider it the best proposition, in the interest of the Wil- mette â- . schools, that has ever been placecT hefbre the ^voters of Wilmette^ mARt^â„¢rzrwiTH I LAKE SHORE PUB.
