No Loaded Guns Wood Dale's village board is trying to keep the village safe from hunters. Knowing that around this time each year there are many hunting accidents, the board passed an amendment to their ordinance on hunting at the meeting Monday night. THE AMENDMENT states that it is now unlawful to carry a loaded firearm within the village limits.

Before passing this amendment, the ordinance stated that it was unlawful to shoot a gun in the village. The amendment states that all guns in town must be unloaded at all limes except on a man's own property. An individual may have a loaded gun only on his own premises but may not shoot, Former Arlington Man Rural Residence $2.15 4-Party Residence 2.25 2-Party 2.50 1-Party 2.75 2-Party Residence-Metropolitan 3.50 4.00 2.65 1-Party Residence-Metropolitan Rural Business 2-Party Business 4.25 1-Party Business 4.75 1-Party Business-Metropolitan 8.00 Residence Extension .60 Business 1.25 Proposed $2.90 3.00 3.25 3.50 4.35 4.85 3.90 5.50 6.00 9.50 .75 1.40 WHEN MRS.

erican pressed glass. She then enlarged her collecting field to include old china, pattern glass, and bisque figures. The hobby of lamp making really grew out of the bisque figurines. One in particular seemed to lend itself to the idea of making antiques useful. It was a figurino, in bisque, which became a lovely and graceful bedroom lamp when finished.

It is not new to make oil lamps and figurines into electric lamps but usually a professional must do the wiring. Mrs. Jentzsch was determined to do all the work herself. It has become a hobby, and a business, that has kept her more than busy for over three years.

Jentzsch, "or not being able to move about in the house proper any more." The Little House, as the Jent- sches call it, holds between twenty and thirty finished lamps and the china and glassware collection. The' workshop is in the basement of the main house. It is a businesslike place with all the parts neatly labeled and hanging on pegs. The worktable, however is a hodgepodge of unfinished lamps.

The questions to be decided are: Shall the people of the Village have an Adequate supply of water next summer at the cost of Also, shall the people take steps to protect themselves and their families against possible polution of their drinking water at the cost of Polling place is Village Hall. Polls open 6 a. m. yj 5 p.

m. THE FIRST ISSUE deals with the improvement in the Number Two well, which must be made to insure an adequate supply o.f water next summer. Heavy demands are placed on the water department during the month of August. "The records of our water department," says Robert Johnson, Village trustee, "show the daily average consumption during August to have increased as follows: 1944 121,000 gallons 1945 109,000 gallons 1946 156,000 gallons 1947 188,000 gallons 1948 20.8,000 gallons "It is reasonable to expect, therefore," he says, "a daily average demand of 230,000 gallons during August of 1949. In order to deliver this volume of water it will be necessary for our present pumps to operate steadily fourteen hours every day.

But we cannot expect the Number Two well to maintain its present capacity, because the static water level will probably drop below the intake valves of the pumps by August." (In August, 1948 it was 19 feet below the level of August, 1947). IF THE STATIC water level drops another 19 feet in the corn- year the Number Two well be. useless. the- supply will have to come from the older and smaller well. Number One, which under the most favorable circumstances cannot meet our needs in an emergency such as a large fire, or an accident in which a hydrant might have been broken.

The conclusion is unavoidable: the capacity of the Number Two well must be increased to provide an adequate supply of water next summer. THE SECOND issue deals with the relocation of the sewerage ift station which is now located the pumping station and will be moved to the northeast corner of York and Rosseyell. sts. The state health authorities have condemned the present location which is approximately 25 feet the Number One well. This considered as a possible menace to the health of anyone who uses Bensenville water.

If seepage from the sewerage pit should enter the well, the water supply may be polluted which may be the source of an epidemic. In addition to the suffering that may be caused to many persons, the Village would be for damages which might cost many times the price of a sewerage lift station, according to officials. IN ADDITION to the health menace of the present lift station, it is necessary to replace the existing pumps which arc over 20 years old. The new plant, it is said, will be equipped with new pumps which would have to be purchased in any case. Moreover, the expanding population in the northwestern sections of the village has created a need for a lift station of greater capacity.

Also, because of a more favorable location- of the proposed plant which will permit a more direct flow of sewerage into the pit from the north side of town, it may relieve the oftndition of flooded basements in that section. The cost of the projects, according to estimates, should not exceed $45,000. "It may be less. The bonds will be written for a term of approximately twenty years, maturing serially, at a rate of 3Vi per cent interest. It has been calculated that the cost to a houseowner having property assessed at $10,000 would be approximately $5.00 per year.

This cost will be reduced tes the number of homes increase in the village. Injured Bensenville Boy Out Of Danger Douglas Soldal 6, Bensenville, who was injured by an automobile last Thursday, is recovering from a fractured skull in Memorial hospital. Elmhurst. According to reports he is doing very well and is out of danger. The inquiry into the cause of the accident has been set for Nov.
