Commissioners in Charge of public Grounds in North Shore Village Accomplish; Much in first ^ear^ SQUIRE MANY In furthering Parking System UnrJ Valued at $30,000 it Bought, Yet Only $2,500 In Cash is Expended. Rapid strides are being taken In the ^rtsbllshiuent of a par* system In Glencoe, according to the report and interesting data which were given by Sherman M. Booth in a meeting of the Glencoe park commissioner* at the Woman* Library club Thursday night The citizens of the village had been invited tO the meeting to hear of the progress of the work be- ing conducted by the commissioners, but owing to the Inclemency' of the weather only about fifty attended. President Oscar G. Foreman of the park board presided. Mr. Booth gave a detailed account of all the transactions of the park commissioners during the last year, ^vhich showed that all of block 19, ex- cept four lots, had been purchased for park purposes. Landscape Gar- dner Jensen of Chicago Is how busy improving this property. In addition to the acquisition of block 19, the commissioners have purchased a strip of land 362 feet long by 100 feet â- frontage along the Northwestern (racks, of the old Walter Gurney pron- <>rty north of Park avenue. They also lite .options on other tracts .adjoin- ing wis strip of land. f Carnegie Library Site. tjen it was shown that some land lujifteen purchased In block 11, which Uaf south of Park avenue. Eventually it is the hope of the park commie- iers to secure enough holdings In $ Is section to furnish a site for the §ew Carnegie library which is PTom- tied Glencoe in the next few years. Although organized a little more than a year ago, the Glencoe park commissioners have accomplished more in that length of time than ijmilar organizations in larger cities. Jjuid representing an investment of about $30,000 has been acquired, yet *n outlay of only about |2,600 has leen made. This economical expendi- ture of cash shows the business-like Wanner in which the park affairs are Heing conducted. Good loans are se- ared at five per cent and bonds toned as fast as deemed advisable by the commissioners. Members Reprefemtatlve Men. The personnel of the board Includes titcar G. Foreman, president, Otto R. limett, Fred D. Jacksofi; Sherman M. Booth, and Colonel William B. Jacobs. Meetings are held the first Monday of each month. I Robert ft. McCell. Robt. H. McColl, the newly appointed city collector of Bvanston, whose ap- pointment by Mayor James R. 8mart last week was confirmed by the city council, will celebrate his forty-sixth birthday today by assuming the duties of his new office. The new collector Is well fitted to conduct the financial affairs of the city. For nineteen years he has been connected with the business depart- ment of the Northwestern Gas, Light k Coke company, serving as secretar> and assistant treasurer for more than twelve years. Before coming to Bv- anston he engaged in tile banking business In Forest and Sarnla, Ont. Mr. McColl was born In ^ Forest, Ont., on May 1, 1867, being educated in the public schools of that city. For five years he was connected with a bank In his home city, after which he moved to Sarnla, where he con- tinued his banking career for six years before locating in Bvanston. In 1895 he claimed Miss Susa Cusen of Forest, Ont7 as his bride. Though prominent in fraternal circles, Mr. Mc- Coll has never been active In politics. He is a member of the Modern Wood- men and the Independent Order Of Foresters. He resides at 2127 Maple avenue. The naming of Mr. McColl as city collector, the plum of the appointive offices, is said to be due to his qualifi- cations for th«> place and not to the shaking of the plum tree by his friends. The fact that he did not take an active part in the recent campaign makes this statement ring true. Mr. McColl succeeds Harold Pyn- chon, a youthful friend of ex-Mayor Paden.

Aloy- sius Uedelhofen, an employe of the waterworks, known for his prowess as a fisherman, discovered that some lake monster was entangled In bis net. Soon he discovered that he had caught an* extra large sturgeon. Realizing the difficult task of land- ing the "catch," Uedelhofen *went ashore, secured a gun and shot the sturgeon five times, which was then tewed to shore. On weighing the big fish it was found that It tipped the scales at 140 pounds. This is the largest catch on record along the North Shore, and one of the few sturgeons which have been reported caught. Mr. TJedelhofen refused an offer of $35 by a Chicago flsh company for the specimen. He sold it among the residents of Wln- netka. The week of Slay 5 to 10 has been chosen 'as the time for cleaning Bvanston and placing It in summer at- tire. The dates were chosen at a Con- ference held in the city hall between Mayor James Russell Smart and Sup- erintendent of Streets Herbert Sberer. It was decided, In order to give the city a thorough cleaning, that the city be divided into six districts, a day be- ing decided upon for the work in each section. Superintendent of Streets Sherer informed Mayor Smart that he could furnish four or six teams to as- sist the cltlsens in placing the streets, alleys and vacant lots In good condi- tion. - How City Is Divided..
