Circula- Ur sum- Chamber ol Counnrce Curioui Abou*t Grade SeParat*onAp- propriation of 1928 An item of, a mere' $10,000 created co nsiderable disturbance in the ranks of, *the Wilmette Chamber of Com- mierce. this week. The :sum in question represents an appropriation: made by the Wilmette Village board in the summer of 1928 .'for the cost of preliminary, surveys. and engineering and legal expenses pertaining'to railroad grade separa- tion in- th'e Village." The item (No.,21) underwhich the.sum was appropriated comprised a part. of the annual approý- priation bill adopted by the village board in 1928. Now the question going the rounds of the Chamber of Commerce meni- bership is: Was money in tl'at amoUnt spent 'for the, purpose indicated in ac- cordance with the provisionis of the appropriations bill? If so, in view of the fact that the Village of Wilmette bas not. joined with other north 'shore ,vilages-Kenilworth, Winnetka, Glen- coe-a.i(l Highland Park-in the pimove- ment to comfpel grade separation for. the north shore-how was the money spent? 1On the other baud, if the, moàey appropriated was flot spent as indi- cated ini item 21, was the sum ap- plied to some' other item---or items of the appropriations bill, or, if not spent at all, bas it been allowed. to reinain intact and accumulate interest?
