j Ffforts that have beeni prosecuted for several years to remove a sérious handicap froi the* life sa ving crew at the Wilrnette oast Guard station, due to "fili-ini" and consequent shal- lowness *of wýater, at last bid fair to achieve success through the interest of. Congressman Ralph E. Church. Dredging of the harbor bas been sought consistently by thé Wilmette Chamber of 'Commerce and various. civié organizations,. as a- means of maintaining the >efficiency of the coast guard, by permitting the use of the large boat in, cases ofemerg-ency. The. filling process'has. been. going-on year after year, with the water becoming shall ,ower ail the time-until. now any attempt to. Us >e the large. boat 'is at- tended by considerable danger of, damage, to the craft. Other larger craft, are ýalso prevented fromn utiliz- ing, the barbor facilities. it, is to icor- -rect this ýcondition. that pressure bas been exerted to get the harbor dredged and the water deepened. Congre ,ssman L Church gives the following explarnation of the present status of the proposi- tion: Important Station ",One of the most. important Coast Guard stations in the service for the proectonof life and property is the shoaling which, las taken place in the last few years, the shallowness ofý the water bas been making it virtuallY-1 impossible to get the life-boat in and out of the harbor. particularlv in Saturday, july 20, will be sperît in the gardens of Mrs. Frances Bow- man, 2219 Orrington avenue, Evans- ton.
