Fred Rush of the Circuit court denied a petition pre3ented by All~ n William McConnell, an electrician, actin~ for certain local intere sts that have for some time opposed the Schultz and Nord project. In refusing to act favorably upon the petition Judge Rush declared that he would under no consideration issue a restrain-ing order. His attitude in the matter was influenced som ~ what, it was saig, by an affidavit pre~ented by ] ohn W. Schmitz, the original petitioner, who filed a personal ~lotion to dismiss him out of the case by reason of the fact that he did not wi sh to have an ything to do with the matter. Shows Unfair Tactics Schmitz declared that he had signed the petition without knowl edge of it'i significance when approached in his home by J ~:>3 eph Krauss , owner of a local cleaning plant, and another man repre sented to him a s E. A .. Zimmerman, attornev. It developed in court that the person in question was not E. A. Zimmerman . Immediately Schmitz had been released from the case, an intervening petiti_ on was filed by · McConnell who took over the petition a s originaJly filed thereby s~ving the case from dismissal. Judge R1tsh had indicated before McConnell entered the ca,;e that he would not issue a restraining ord.~ r. stating that the statutes prqy_ide that a re st raining order can be issued only t.J.pon good cause shown, the petition, in his opinion, failing to present actual evidence that the Schultz and Nord cleaning plant wa s inflicting inj!Jry or damage to person5 or property 111 the village. Net Emergency Case Judge Rush suggested that the case not be_ing an emergency matter should be heard on its merits, finding its assigned place on the court calendar. He declared that the Schultz and Nord plant should m~anwhile be permitted to operate since it was cau.;ing no injury or damage . . The Schultz and .Nord plant has been in operation since two weeks ago ""-en the Wilm.ette Zoning board issued a permit on the ba.sis that operation of the plant is permissable unrler the existing Zoning ordinance. The . permit does not, as ha3 been argued by certain interests opposing the Schultz · and Nord project, belong in the category of "special permits." Throngs Swarm Over Village Green to Participate in Varied Events of the Day Old timers · remini sced and their sons and datJghters romped while Old Sol ~~~niled most benignly upon the Village Green Wednesday, Wilmette Day. In spite of the excessive heat during the morning and afternoon hundreds of persons watched the parade and attended the baseball gamts, racing events, and children'c; parade. In the evening the crowd sweHed to what was probably the largest in the history of Wilmette Day, as visitors from Kenilworth, Winnetka, and oth{;r north shore towns began to arrive in thei'r cars. It w;ts a gre-at neighborly get-together for the entire community. One of the longest and most at· tractive oarade3 ever witnessed along the north shore inaugurated . the day's events at 9 :30 o'clocll" in the morning.
