Last year citizens interested in protect- ing their property made a list of the names of boys engaged in these annual depredations, with the purpose of signing complaints and prosecuting tbem if the acts are repeated this year. Parents should take the initiative in pre- venting boys and girls from par- ticipating in vanadism, at any time, as arrest is a serious matter. It constitutes a first offense, which is part of a. criminal record kept by tbe juvenile court for guidance in case the cuiprit is arrested a second. time. This is a warning that should be heeded by both. parents and children.

Rulng Makes Legal Erection of Building nt Lake-Main Street Northwest Corner The Illinois Supreme court banded down a decision Monday of ths week which, temporarily at least, makes le- gaI the building of a garage on the va- cant lot at the northwest corner of Main street and Lake avenue, com- pelling the Village to issue a permit for its erection. The case was carried to tbe higber tribunal fromt the Supe-. rior court, in which the Village also lost. Asked- about the decision, President C. P. Dubbs replied that further ac- tion in the matter will be held in abey- ance, pending a conférence with Attorney William H. Symmes of the law firm of Kirkland, Fleming, Green and Martin, Chicago, attorneys for tbe Village in the case. President Dubbs stated that he is uncertain about what steps are still open to tbe Village, or, whetber the Supreme court of Illinois is the court of last resort in the case. However, lie empbatically stated that if possible the case will be carried to the United States Supreme court for adjudication. 1Was Mandamus Proceeding The action was one for mandamus to comfpel the Village to issue 'a per- mit for the. construction of a garage on the property above described.

Deniy Second Application An amended application was filed by the applicant on April 22, 1932, for. a permit to build a garageý on the property, the zoning ordinance at that time permitting garages to be erected in the commercial zone. This appflica-. tion was. also denied,, and the Village board immediately, amended tbe zon- ing ordinance, removing garages. from the commercial district and permit- ting them only in the Class "C" indus- trial classification. The applicant in- sisted upon the issuance of the per- mit, pointing out tbat the property is zoned for commercial purposes and that a garage came within the specifi- cations of the ordinance. 1Being thus unsuccessful in secir'ing the permit, the èpplicant instigated the action in mandamus to compel its issuance by the Village.
