Butler Noted medical authority and head physician of North Shore Health Resort dies on train on way home from east; heart attack cause. This Lake Bluff Fellow Issues a Mean Challenge the press and entitled "How the Mind Heals," was received with en- thusiasm by the^ncmbers of his pro- fessioni jmiLthe general public.----He was also a literary critic of distinc- tion his reviews, of books and poe- try commanding wide attention in literary circles. F. H. Young of Lake Bluff, felt par- ticularly youthful Wednesday when appearing in Magistrate Mickey's Wilmette Speeder's court, he issued a formal and energetic challenge to one Peter Schaeffer, motorcycle po- liceman, to appear in the village of Lake Bluff at his own convenience and to choose his weapons. However there is reason to believe that Young intended calling upon certain of his townsmen to assume an active part in the proposed recep- tion, when one considers carefully the tone of his concluding remarks to.-wit, • "I'll see that you get soaked good." Young was arrested on a charge of speeding Tuesday evening when en- countered by Schaefer on Sheridan road at Rhnwood avenue. Schae- fer ticked him off at 35 miles per. Young was assessed $15 and costs. All of which prompted the invitation so graciously extended to our ster- ling motor cop, who, be it said to his credit, "kept his peace," greeting the enraged one with a beaming and al- most pitying smile.

It was too warm to do any work in the garden, consequently there was a good turn out of the members. The south side of the Wilmette Village Hall was found to be the cool- ,»•»' ^ot i»j town «o the meeting took place there. After the new constitution had been approved, officers for the com- ing year were elected. Charles Rob- erts and W. A. Melchior were reel- ected president and secretary, H. J. Naper was elected vice president and Donald Maxwell, treasurer. Talk on Community Service. C. E. Drayer, National Secretary of the Association, spoke on the many opportunities of the engineers to be of service to the community. Af- ter mentioning the Zoning plan for Wilmette and the highways in New Trier township he called atten- tion to the Sanitary District, which represents an investment of about $75,000,000 and accrues an annual pay- roll of over $1,000,000. The Engineering department, built up through many years to a high de- gree of efficiency, has been broken up by the Thompson organization. 1t was explained, since that politi- cal group obtained control of the Sanitary District Board, with the re- sult that old and tried men have been replaced by new and far less exper- ienced help. Mr. Drayer suggested-an investiga- tion of this matter and a resolution to that effect was passed. When it is recalled, the engineers explain, that the Sanitary Board in the next few years will spend another $75,000,000 on improvements, the ques- At the meeting of the Board of Trustees Tuesday evening, an ordi- nance sponsored by the Wilmette Im- provement association was offered by Trustee Paul A. Hoffman, who Ts also president of the Improvement association. The Ordinance in sub- stance seeks to prohibit the maintain- auceon vacant lots in residential neighborhoods, within the confines of the village, what is known as building " material yards, namely for the stor- age and sale of sundry materials used for building purposes therein enu- merated, unless a majority frontage consent is first obtained. The meet- ing was attended by a large number of west side realty owners, mostly members of the Improvement asso- ciation who were directly affectedby the recent attempt of a local paving contractor to maintain a building ma- terial yard in what is regarded as a strictly residential neighborhood in the south end of the village. Some oi_those_prfe&ent jvcre very-4n4ignant at this invasion of their property rights and were-not. the least back- ward in expressing their sentiments. In the course of the consideration^, of the ordinance, a legal skirmish; A occurred between Village Attorney*^ Wenban, and S. J. Nordorf, also a member of the Chicago bar, who ap- peared on behalf of the Improvement association. It was the contention of the Village Attorney that the act ' was unconstitutional because no ex- pressed power is given municipalities hv the Cities and Villages act to pass Wh an ordinance. â- â- '.â- jSKT-fai* •oivthrwNse^ bther hand contended by Mr. Nor- dorf, > who prepared the ordinance, that the power of the Village Board to enact such a law is implied from the expressed powers conferred by the Act, notably Article 5, Section I, Paragraph 66, of. the Act which con- ferred the right to exercise police powers by municipalities. Bad for Homos It was argued by Mr. Nordorf, that such an industry in a strictly resi- dential locality tends to affect the public health and welfare of the res- idents in the immediate vicinity, in that a constant loading and unloading of the class of material enumerated in the ordinance tends to produce intolerable noises and diffuse great quantities of dust and dirt which pen- etrate into the homes close by, set- tling upon books, furniture, food, clothing, and other things and more- over, that the air becomes greatly impregnated with dirt and dust which is unhealthy and destructive to the comfort and enjoyment of a home, and that if the proposed law was in- effectual, that a building material yard could rightfully be maintained on Sheridan road. The ordinance was finally submit- ted to a vote and was unanimously adopted.
