boardis ot the other villages oit t north shore were invited to, attend, was held Monday evening at the Winnetka Village hall. The me eting was called by William B. Moulton, Winnetka Village presi- dent, to, consider whether the taxing bodies of New Trier. township should oppose, the petition of the Cook County Rýeal, Estate boa.rd, before Judge Edmund K. Jarecki, to àpprove a "15 percent horizontal reduction in assessed valuation for aIl residential property in' thecounty." Good Repr«eeitation Village, §chool, and park boards of the villages of 7Wilmette, -Kenilworth, and .-Glencoe were well represented at the meeting.. Public attendance, however, 'was small, due to the shot time- possible to announce the, meet- ing. President Moulton- presided, and called upon Frederick' Dickinson,. Winnetka Village attorney, ýto ex- plain the object of the meeting. Mr. Dickinson pointed out the great dif- ficulties experienced, especially by the school boards, ini meeting their -obligations under the more or. less chaotic conditions existing. Taxes were being paid very slowly, and war- rnsoutstanding in some instances were not being paid and could not be paid. Credit Endangered Iii consequence, he said, the credit of the municipalities stood in danger of being, materially impaired, and as- suredly would be impaired if the 15 percent horizontal reduction i n assessed valuation was left t o stand by Judge Jarecki. He sug- gested that some representative of the Ne.w Trier. taxing bodies ap- pear before Judge Jarecki and oppose thie petition which the Cook 'Coun ty Real Estate board plans to 'enter. Thereupon, the matter was opened for discussion. Auguste C. Babize, president of the Glencoe Village board of trustecs, inquired of 'Mr. Dickinson if he un- derstood correctly the contention of Mr. Dickinson that opposition to tife.- George F. Nixon and Fred Brummel,> had. originally ordered the 15 per- cent recluction; that it had been op- posed by County Assessor Jacobs ; that after. being sustained by the Appellate: court .and the, Supreme* court of ýthe state, the latter tribunal reversed itself and remnanded:the case to the lower, court, Thus,. while one court sustained the Board of Appeals, a higher court, withouit actually de- ciding against the- Board of Appeals,ý reversed the Appellatecourt decision on the. grounds that the mrethod em-1 ployed in granting the reduction, was not 'proper.; In' good faith, he stated, taxpayers had accepted at full value the promise held out that such. a 15 per cent - reduction 'would. be carried out. Opinon' at Variance Representatives of ýWilmette and Kenilwo rth took, much the same po- sition. On the other hand, Carleton W. Washb'urne, superintendent of Winnetka publ ic schools, and Clar- ence B. Randaîl, president of the WTjnnetkà school board, took a very ,pronouniced stand that the 15 percent assessmnent reduction should not be allowed, on the grounds that obliga- tions of the Village were sold in the belief and expectation that the full taxes would be paid; and that u.nless this were done, the school board's credit would, in aIl likelihood, be im- paired.
