Wilmette Plans Two Week Cleanup Across Town
Village President Earl E. Orner urges villagers to join in the annual Cleanup Weeks in Wilmette. Cleanup Week one covers east of the Chicago and North Western tracks May 19 to 25, week two covers west of the tracks May 26 to June 1. The program, active since 1904, divides streets for thorough cleanup using town equipment, with a push to replace the refuse removal fee with a small direct tax.
