Citizens receiving this grarwity Village Board Adopts Ordinance With- out Discussion; Amount te Be Raised by Taxes Inereased Trhe annual appropriation ordiù- ance for, the fiscal ye ar, beginning April 18,A1933 and endinig April. 17, 1934, waspassed by the Village board at its meeting last Wednesday night, The tôtal amount -of the budget, as published, in full in last week's WiL- MetTx LipE, is $301,835.72. There was no discussion of thé ordinance in openbor meeting, and,it was, passed by the unanimous. vo te of' the full lboard. As. explained in a letter sent. out t o ail residents of the village by, President C. P. Dubbs .o n june 24, which ex- planation was given by him*at two public. meetings held recently,, the total of the budget is less than. that of last year, but the, amount to be raised by taxation is larger. This is due to two causes, Mr. Dubbs has said. First, ail the liqu 'id assets of the various boards were exhausted last year. Some of them were re- fused tax levies for that year in order that the general levy migbt bc low- ered, wbich made an excellent show- ing. But now it becomes necessary to refll the depleted treasuries in order that the different boards may function. For they are broke. This fact, coupled with the second rea- son, gives tbe answer as to why the age of 'rax anticipation warrants that can be issued, against, the tax levy is, fot more than 50 percent, so that the tax levy must be approximately double the aniount of cash required to carryon Village business. As the amount necessary to raise from the sale of tax anticipation warrants to enable the Village to operate is $117,- 000, it follows that a tax of $234,000 must be ievied. Last year it was possible, it was asserted, to sell war- rants up to 70 percent of the levy. Law Suit, Automatie Rail Sigý- nais, Gas Texc Quota,ý Beer' Claim Atteëntion Items of interest connected wi th the meetingi of the Village board last. Wednesday night not covered elsewhere in this issue, pertain ico currettactivities, many of which wîll flot be brought to -completion, for somne time. For instance, Village at-ý tortney, WiIlis D). Nance reported that lihad, filed a demurer to the suit for injunction brought against thé Village to'restrain interference with the, building of a garage at Main: street and Lake avenue. Mr. Nance aiso reported that the Illinois Commerce commission is still. pondering, the question> as to whether the Chicago, Milwaukee & North Shore railroad ýshall be per- mitted to instaîl automatic signaIs at Wilmette street crossings. He re- q uested any citizen of Wilmette who knows anytbing about these. signal systems to confer with him. Village t. Cet $22,000 A communication from- the Illinois municipal league informed the board that througb its efforts Wilniette would secure $22,000 on a division of the state gasoline tax. This. Oue it for the work of revising -the municipal code, which work, bv *the way, is net yet completed. The board' thought that. $250 on account would. be about right, and it was se ordered, ,Village Manager C. M-.
