In Evanston it is entirely different. Moving lists compiled by the different local real estate firms places the num- ber of people moving at slightly more than 500f As a number of houses were rented and sold by outside deal- ers it would considerably increase this number. Then, there are also a large number of people who either rent direct from the owners or buy their Tiomesyvith^utth^ of real estate men. Moving van owners were either un- willing or.'unable to furnish any in- formation that would assist in arriv- ing at an exact figure.

Even with th§ un- favorable weather of early spring the year is one--of the best ever experi- enced by the local real estate men. The cold weather kept „many peo- ple who intended to move from doihg^ so. Though the real estate dealers had a large number of houses and apartments on their lists the people refused--to--come--mrt^duTingzthez^n^ favorable weather and inspect them. The result was that more than 100 people who had intended to migrate remained where they were.

The engineer will work in co-opera- tion with the local city engineer and will report their findings to the coun- cil at the eatltett poaible time.. Because of the view some citizens took of his recent proclamation in re- gard to dogs running on the streets; without being muzzled, Mayor Paden issued a statement for the benefit of the public. He said that many owners of dogs were of the opinion that the dogs picked up would be instantly_ killed. This, however, explained the chief executive, is not true, as the city- ordinance requires that the dogs be held five days and if-lit the expiration .of that time the dogs have not been claimed they shall then be killed!
