Substation dispute pits village against real estate firm
Wilmette faces a legal challenge as J. Fred McGuire demands removal of the new substation supplying the electric lighting system.

Village officials vow to resist to avoid lights loss and costly relocation. The issue centers on a triangular lot near the North Shore line and a blocked alley.
