Orner To Present Victory Trophy . ' The Wilmette Village board Tuesday evening voted the sum of $200 'as its share in the general contribution to the fund solicited from various suburban . communities by the Chicago Regional Planning association to carry the battle of the Lake Bluff Zoning case into the Supreme court. Tuesday's 'ballot on the matter of making the contribution was marked by a :-feadlock in the vote which was broken when President Orner cast a ballot favoring the appropriation. The difference of opi~ion among the trustees was not in the nature of a dispute over the validity of the Lake Bluff appeal. but concerned itself solely with the question as to whether the $ZOO appropriation represented Wilmette's just portion of the total contribution sou{!ht by the Regional Planning association.
