We do flot have to go far froni home to find an example of a lack of interest on the part of private utili- ties, ini the public welfare. When Win- netka: wanted private utility' juice years ago it couldn't get -it, 50o it set up a plant of its own. The electricit>' rates in Winnetka,'are no., igher than those in Wilmette, but a portion of the, profits on the Winneçtka elec-> tricity are paid to tbe:general cor- porate fund>of the Village. This is in a large measure the reàson why the village tax rate. for Wi'nnetka. is con- siclerably lower than- an>' other town on the north shore.
