GIVEN DEGREE TO BUILD STORM SEWER AT COST OF $1,804,950 Board of Local Improvements Votes for Big Improvement Project In stallation o f a storm sewer system for the section of Wilmette west of Ridge avenue at a cost of $1,804,950 was authorized by the \Vilmette Boanl of Local Improvements at a public hearing Tuesday night. The neces:;ary ordinance is expected to be ready for presentation at th~ regular meeting of the Village' board next Tuesday night. and will go into effect · immediately. The council room of the Village hall was filled to capacity Tuesday night when the h~~ring was held and arguments for and against the proposed sewer were presented. The ability of small property owners to meet the special assessments entailed in construction of such a storm sewer svstem was the principal point of conter1tion. The assessments are to be spread over twenty years. Speakers Argue Question ] udged by the number of speakers and the applause that greeted 'them, the sentiment was strongly in favor of the sewer system. Opponents of the improvement argued that the sewer would impose an additional financial hurden upon many who would be unable to meet it, while proponents of the system pointed out that the sewer would enhance property values in the territory affected. About 2,000 acres of land comprise the territory to be served by the system. and the .e ngineer's plans of what will be one of \Vilmette's greatest single improvement projects show that a total of about twenty-six miles of sewer will be laid. Pumping St_ ation Necessary Sanitary district regulations prohibit discharging storm water into Lake Michigan. This makes it necessary that an outlet be fixed at the north branch of the Chicago river and cails for the erection of a lift pump station to provide for the lack of sufficient natural drainage. This station will be located north of Lake avenue at a point several hundred feet from the intersec,tion of that street and the river, and condemnation proceedings are to be instituted if the site cannot be purchased at a reasot1able figure. Injunctions arKI court proceedings were threatened by objectors to the storm sewer system, and it is possible that the improvement will be delayed on this account. Rev. Vere V. Loper, of Wilmette Congregational Church, Is Honored by His Alma Mater T~e. Rev. Vere V. Loper, mtmster of th~ Ftrst Congregational church, re cetved the honorary degree of Doctor of Diyinity from Grinnell college at its commencement ·exercises on Mondav of this week, according to word rece1ved here by the Rev.
