M~TTt Lntg of the special election to J>e held Tuesday, Sept~ber 25, on two important propositions affecting our community. In accordance with this notification issued by Lea }. Orr, Wilmette voters on that day · will express themselves regarding the proposition to permit operation of motfoit picture theaters in the village on Sundays after noon and will also decide whether. or not bonds in th~ amount of $50,000 shall be issu_ e d by the Village for the purch; se of a site for and the construction of a municip_a] incinerating plant. Petition Asks MoYie Vote The Sunday movie proposition, as most villagers know, is the outgrowth of sentiment expressed several weeks ago in a petition signed by more than 1500 voters and presented to the Village board requesting a special election on the question of Sunday operation of movie theaters. The proposition to secure a site for and construct a municipal inciner:ating plant had its inception in deliberations of the Village board covering a period of several years. The method now empJoyed in disposal of garbage-that of letting annual contract to have the refuse carried to farmland west· of the village-is proving inadequate and the Yillag:e is faced with the necessity of finding some other means <,>f disposal, the most modern and logical plan being th_ a t of incineration. Favored by Health Experts The establishment of an incinerating plant does not entail unpleasant conditions, it is explained. In the modern type plant such as is proposed for Wilmette, the refuse is disposed of without any objectionable features, it i~ explained. The structure, moreover, would be of such design as to be in perfect harmony with the mo.;t acceptable type of municipal building. Such a plant is highlv recommend~d by national and state· health authorities. All refuse handled would he conveyed in covered vehicles, it is pointed out. ~n this issue of a Red-f!ot Playground Band THS118RE OYIEI ART THEAJER DRWS IYaD Luareff to toire Company . to Winnetka arm.
