Wilmette Considers Own Water Plant to Bypass Evanston
Village President C P Dubbs urges immediate steps to secure a municipally owned water plant to avoid a twenty year Evanston contract. Evanston offers seven cents per hundred cubic feet for five years and a later arbitration-based price for the remaining fifteen. Wilmette could gain by independent plant, easing shortages and unemployment. Engineering firms Alvord Burdick and Hawson and Pearse Greeley and Hansen will draft plans and supervise construction. Board action planned at the next meeting.
