*Suggestion on the editorial page of WILMZTTE, LIPE-in this and previou.s issues-enipbasizing the advisability of establishing a unified and- per- mnanent Accident Prevention bureau for New Trier. township- similar to that .now operative with signal suc- cess in Evanston, bas 'brought inter-: esting information from H. L. Wool- biser, Winnetka Village . Manager. in -submitting facts and -figures, Mr. Woolbiser -shows, what -Winnetka is -accomplishing in the -direction' of accident, prevention. What Winnetka is doing should be expanded to include theentire town- ship, WItmETrE LiFF, suggests, in rec-. ommending one AccidentPrevention -breae to miake expertinvestigations and prescrihie regulations that shahl operate uniformly in ai-h four výil- lajgesr-Wîlmette, Kenilworth,. Win- netka and Glencoe. Mr. Woolhiser's communication in part foôlbows: "You may be interested in the at- tached tabular comparison of the traf- fic accident record in Winnetka and Evanston, for the period January 1 to April 29, 1935. This period bas been *taken because of the availability of figures for Evanston as recently pub- lished. "You will note from this compar- ison that the number of traffic ac- cidents in Evanston for the .above *periocl was. 652 per 100,000 population, as compared with 370 in Winnetka. " .11n Evansto'n, there were 155 in- juries, per 100,000 population, as coni- *pared witb 77 for Winnetka. "The record for deaths is not so, favorable for Winnetka, inasmuch as Evanston bad only one traffic death for the period, whereas we bad two, resulting f rom the railroad crossing, accident ait Winnetka avenue on April 1. The comparison of deaths, because of,,the small number which occur, should obviously be on an an- nual basis. Evanston bas an average of about six traffic deatbs a year of 9.2 per 100,000, population. Winnet- ClOYd C.

Mr. Lundberg o'wns a frame bouse at 1538 Ehnwood avenue., According to Village- authorities, he applied 'in September, 193$, for a permit, to alter some of the rooms. and put in a bath- rootniand.extra lavatory on the second floor, but no *kitchen.

An intensive and well-organized drive "to eliminate the unsightly and cheap- ening condition existing because of abuses in tbe use of 'For Sale' signs" was launched in a spir ited meeting of the: FSanston-North Shore Rà eallsate board, field Mondayr night, at, the, board rooms, 1569 Sherman avenue, Evanston. A special committee was appointed byH. L. McDatniel, president, of the board, withîinstructions to draft reso-. lutions designed to "dcean up a. situa-, tion which is becoming intolerable.": It was the consensus of opinion that the best interests of. properT.y owners c6ould be served, and the strongest -gesture in support of civic prde would be most effective. by the complete élimination of ail "For, Sale" signs on impioved- and vacant, property. A»e Tow.asfor.Sle The board -room was filled to, capacity by realtors f rom Evanston, Wihmne, Kenilworth, Winnietka, Glencoe,. High- land Park and outlying sections because the proposed regulation, while efc tiveiy in operation in nlany cities, ter- minates one of the oldest practices in. the real estate profession. Data made available bythe National Association of Real Estate -B-o-;îd*a ws presented to show that the step would lend dig- nity to the real estate profession, and would be beartiiy endorsed by public opinion. Civic groups everywhere, it was contended ini Monday niglit's dis- cussion, have long hoped for some such action by' re,1 estate men that. would remove the Implied evidence that "the entire commtsruty was for sale'I and the stigmna that distress existed on every side. Communications from -property owners and Garden clubs entbusiastic- aily commending the proposed "clean up" were aiso read to the realtors. It was suggested that the ban on signs be inaugurated first in Evanston and later be carried out in the north shore towns. To this suggestion north shore realtors were strongly opposed. E.
