BODDIE D D D TILL believing that the interests of a Greater Wiliipite will be best served by the selection for village officers W high-grade citizens who have the best interests of Wilmette at heart, and who realize that the growing Wilmette erf today should have up-to-date and the best of legislation, the above ticket has been nominated. 1 l . In no Instance have these candidates sought the office, but have upon the earnest solicitation of their fellow-citizens consented to become candidates. They have been accepted as clean-cut, able and honest citizens to whom you can safely entrust the welfare of a Greater Wilmette. - â€". . "â- -., • . â-  ' Wilmette has a great future before it, and tn order tcrreachits highest development it is necessary that all citizens should take an active part in village affairs. This is ihekuoaturaL right, which weJ^elieve can be well exercised in sup- porting the foregoing ticket and endorsing the principles herein set forth. INVESTIGATION OF We advocate the appointment of a commission to investigate the feasibility MUNICIPAL of establishing waterworks, electric light and gas plants. Such utilities UTILITIES are successfully and profitably owned and operated by neighborhood villages at a reduced cost to the consumer. PUBLIC UTILITY CORPORATIONS INTERCEPTING SEWER FINANCE FIRE PROTECTION ELECTRIC RAILWAY We advocate a business administration of the affairs of our village. An an.- nual budget should be prepared and expenditures kept within proper limits. We urge the purchase of a fire engine and necessary equipment, it having been demonstrated on numerous occasions that the village lacks adequate fire protection. We call upon our village officials to enforce the observance of existing or- dinances and franchise privileges of the electric railway and to secure im- proved scheduled service. A LIGHT, CLEAN VILLAGE NO SALARIES OUR WOMEN All ordinances granted to Public Utility Corporations shall first be submit- ted to the people. Our candidates are pledged to co-operate with; fh»P*?j"pg» Tmnteti ttn secure the early ^completion of the interaptm^-TtgweF^Thich U being con- structed at the expense of the Sanitary District. We believe that the increase in our taxesjustifiesthe expectation of a bet- ter system of street lighting, garbage removal, and street and alley clean- ra& " '." ' f -;•â- -â- ;«-.' 7'-'T:^'y^-7^.77 We call attention to the fact that the trustees elected last year'on the "Vil- lage" ticket introduced and secured the passage of ordinances repealing salaries of the village president and trustees. The president's veto, how- ever, rendered these repealing ordinances inoperative. We welcome the advent of our women as voters, believing that their influ- ence will put politics on a higher plane and insure better public service; 6 f: h- f- For Village Treasurer 11 A-K.lv Y vf.
