July 19, 1934 WILMP~rTp UYI3F __________________g -----.-- - - - -.-- - t, VILLAGE JOINS SUIT TO .FlIiT WATER SALE: TAX -Wilmette Board Moves to Par- ticipate in B a t t 1 e Against M0/ Agsessment 11 1 A resolution was. passed by the XVilmette Village board at' its meet- ing Tuesday nigbt providing that the Village join with other municipali- ties, tbroughi the Illinois Municipal league, in a suit to restrain -the State of Illinois from collecting the 2 per cent 'occupational tax on the sales of water from, the municipal water plant. It was stipulated, bowever, that the Village would be joined in a suit with other municipalities along the shore taking water f rom Lake Michigan, thus segregating towns of this class from those towns gettiîng their water supply from deep wells or non-navigable inland rîvers. The purpose- for this division of the suit was explained to be made because- in the opinion of Village at- tornevs, there is likely to be a ques- tion of whether or not the source of supply will put the towns in di'fferent. categories. Wilmette, for instance, %vill probably contend that it does M>t own. the water and therefore cannot selI it, and that the only thing it can or does sell is a pumping service. This might not apply to towns getting water from deep wells which theyt owfl. It wvas'also provided that the cost to the Village for this litigation shal flot be more than 10 per cent of the aniousit the Village would pay in tax ' during the period fropi July 1, 1933 to june 30, 1934.
