Village board repeals prohibition district and plans fire department changes
A village board special meeting last week repealed the ordinance creating the prohibition district and outlined methods to modify fire department membership. A Chicago charity canvasser from St Marys Royal Benevolent Society sought funds in Harlem, prompting a Chicago report questioning the society leaders' honesty and alms dispensing. The canvasser, described as a ~40 year old woman in blue attire, was noted by Forest Home cemetery superintendent Wm F Haase and Chicago chief Badenoch for information.
