SCHOOL MEETING.
The School Directors have called q. meeting
for Saturday evening to vote on the question Of
an addition to the school-house- 1t 1s expected
that the voting population will administer At
that time rebuke to the Directors that will not
be forgotten for some time. They last year,
Notwithstanding large majority Of the tax
payers were opposed to paying enormous salaries,
engaged the present Principal at salary OF
$1,:D0 for the school year. This, considering
the prevailing hard times, provoked much COM
character made unnecessarily will be nipped in
the bud by the voters OF the district. Tho
qualifications for any further Directors that may
be elected will be that they shall look alter tho
interests OF the school as though it was their
individual property, and no person that has not
shown himself capable Of managing his own
affairs successfully will be selected By the peo-
pile. The polls viii be open from to IN the
evening.

The sidewalks On Lake and Wilmette avenues
are in q miserable condition. It is not safe to
travel along these thoroughfares in the dark, or
unless you pay particular attention and look
out for snags, rs about every board In ten Is
for life, and numbers OF boards arc miasing al
together. Something ought to be done at once,
or the village will have to defend suit from
some person that may be injured BY the ncg1i-
gence Of the powers thai BE-" A. the Owners
paid for laying the sidewalks on that side, It II
but Just that the owners OF property on tho
north side should be required to lay Sidewalk On
that side, they having used the south eidevalk1
up to this time without any sost to them. IN
both equitable aud practicable.
