Growe, it appeared, was not so ch interested in dogs and certain perty rights alluded to in Mr. imerman's discourse, as he was in protection of human lives inst the menace of rabies infected ines. Mr. Crowe had certain very tinent facts to relate that dealt with generalities, but With actual !Si He presented the spectacle of azed clog that had bitten his five- r old son only two weeks0 ago, had icked and bitten two men, another d and, finally, its own master. The , put to death by a veterinary geon and later examined at the capo Pasteur Institute, was found, said, to have heen in the last stage rabies. The animal, just previous nflictine: injury upon several per- s. had been roaming at large for eral days, he said, with the pos- Hty that several dogs in this inity may have been bitten and us laid open to infection.

The light "duck" shot, he said, is sufficient to make quick work of the target, and cannot ricochet since the lead particles flatten immediately upon striking an object. The rumor that police fired as many as eight shots at Any particular canine, he declared, was absolutely false. He urged that dog owners in the village comply with the ordinance byâ€"muzzling^ogs permitted to run at large. He pointed out that the safety of human lives were at stake. Petitioners Become Boisterous President Zipf's remarks were greeted by a mingling of applause, jeers and generous stamping of indig- nant feet.

Police assert department .'records shOw^hatâ€"at-4east thirty^five pe have been bitten by vicious, if not actually crazed dogs, within the past three months. Fifteen of these per- sons were bitten within the past four weeks, it was stated. Most of them were children. In approximately 2,500 homes in the village theye are not more than .365 licensed dogs, it was explained, showing that the propor- tion of dog owners is quite small. Chief Sieber maintains that every precaution is taken not to shoot dogs in the presence of women and chil- dren and that in no case to date had there been a situation warranting criticism in that regard.

Wilmette's new Zoning ordinance is due to encounter some formidable op- position from property owners of the West Side who-are" offering strenuous objection to the Zoning Commission's plan of having a west side industrial district while the east side of Wil- mette is to be absolutely free of in- dustries. At the regular monthly meeting of the Wilmette ' Improvement associa- tion, held Wednesday evening at the home of its president, Paul A. Hoff- man, the tentative report-of-the-W-jt mette Zoning Commission^was dis cussed and it was the sense of the meeting that the report, in its present form, is objectionable because it con- fines the entire industrial area to the West Side to the utter exclusion of the East Side. The assembled mem- bers began definite action at once when a resolution was presented re- questing a petition of Grievances be drawn by the association Legislative committee, and submitted to all West Side^property owners, as a protest to the Zoning commission. Improvementâ€"Association members will meet again Monday evening, Sep- LAKE SHORE TERRACE OFFERS ATTRACTIVE SUNDAY DINNERS Fred Miller, genial restaurateur, who presides over the distinctive Lake Shore Terrace, ,Sheridan road and Chestnut avenue, has completed pre- parations for continuing the excellent service at the Terrace through the winter months.

The Petition of Grievances as drawn by the Improvement Association Legislative committee reads.*.,in fully as follows. PETITION OF GRIEVANCES To: HON. EDWARD B. ZIPF, Pre*- ntHBoard of Trustees.. YillageloJL: Wilmette, and Chairman of. Wil- mette Zoning Commission: WHEREAS, the tentative report of the WILMETTE ZONING COMMIS- ( SION has been recently submitted in the form of an ordinance which com- prehends the regulation, control and location of buildings, etc., designed for industrial, (light manufacturing) business and residential purposes; and. WHEREAS, a plat has also been submitted by the said Zoning Com- mission which purports to si the'Village has been divided into three areas designated as 1. Residential; 2. Commercial; 3. Industrial; (light manufacture ing; And it further appearing from said' plat that all industrial enterprises (lieht manufacturing) have been plotted for that part of Wilmette situated west of the Chicago North Western Railroad tracks, more par- ticularly on West Railroad Avenue; NOW, THEREFORE, we, the un- dersigned resident taxpayers, having fiillv considered the tentative report Sf tfrn. WILMETTE. ZONING;COM- MISSION, do hereby protest against the enactment of the same in the form of 'in ordinance in its present form, and assign the following reasons therefor: - 1. That it violates The letter and spirit of the statute whirh has dele- gated to the Village of Wilmette the power to enact such a law. Section 1 of the Act provides in part as fol- lows : "Tn all ordinances passed under the authority of this Act. due allowance shall be made for existing conditions, the conservation of property values, the direction of building development to the best advantage of the entire Village, and the uses to which the property is devoted at the time of the enactment of any such ordinance. The powers by this Act given shall not be exercised so as to deprive the owner of any existing property of its use or maintenance for the purpose to which it is then lawfully devoted." 2. That there are industries exist- ing epst of the Chicago North West- ern Railroad tracks: viz., coal, lumber,, and building material yards which-are on a parity with the existing in. dustries west of Jhe * Chicago North Western "Railroad tracks: 3. That there is as much vacant area fronting the riffht of wav of the Chicago North «aWestern Railroad tracks on the ea*t side thereof as there is on the west side, which is available for industrial purposes; 4; T^at the proposed ordinance re- stricting all industries to West Rail- road Avenue to the exclusion of East Railroad Avenue constitutes an un- warranted, arbitrary and unreason- able exercise of power not compre- hended by or delegated to the Zoning- Commission, or any city or village, by the express terms of the statute: 5. That the proposed ordinance is unduly discriminatory in that regard and is obnoxious to the Fourteenth Amendment of the Federal Constitu- tion, in that it denies to the residents west of the Chicago North Western Railroad tracks the eoual protection of the laws, and further denies to them the same privileges and immun- ities according to those residing east of the Qiicago North Western Rail- road tracks who are of the same class, and that the proposed ordinance is therefore unconscionable and void in its entiretv as Class Legislation- WHEREFORE, the undersigned respectfully petition a reconsideration of the proposed ordinance by the Zon- ing Commission to the end4hat there may be a more eouitable distribution of industrial (light manufacturing) enterprises, with the resultant con- nervation of existing propertv values as enjoined by the statute in such case made and provided.-------. ---^- ,; â- â- â- :
