Within a short time the voters, of village will be called upon to de- by bailor whether or not Wil- ls to hsve added school factll- to care for the scores or children are enrolled each year in addi JfOW the WEEDS. rnfortunately the village of Wll- mette Is without an ordinance to com- pel property owners to cut down and dear away heavy growths of weeds. Since the regular rains in this vicin- ity, followed by hot growing weather, the tank wild weeds, oa vacant build- ing lots especially, have grown to t:uch aa extent that they cover even* inch of ground. » ^ This condition exists in the south- east section, near the Northwestern elevated terminal In Linden avenue.' sad In the side streets which are un- improved by residence property. It is also noticeable in other portions of the .village. ------ Many of the owners of this unim- proved property reside in other towns and cities, and do not know that the growth of weeds has completely cov- ered their holdings. Then there are others who do not care. It is for the benefit of this class that an ordinance should be In effect compelling them to clean up their premises. A pro- vision could be made in the compul- sory ordinance giving the village authorities the right to cut the weeds at the owner's expense. If. at the ex- piration of a two weeks' notice, he had not attended to this duty. Wllmette is fast becoming widely known as a residential village of beauty. But no matter how careful the proud villagers may be in the up- keep of their pretty homes and lawns, the unsightly growth of rank and poisonous weeds on an adjoining lot mars to a large extent all the beauty of the fine home. Why not a weed-cutting ordinance?

They include the proposi- tion to purchase the August Specht property adjoining the Central Ave- nue school property on the north in Tenth streeL end the question of whether or not the added school building may be erected on the north end portion of the property at once. For several weeks the members of the board of education have been con- sidering plans for the proposed aew building, and hsve the general scheme well worked out, they believe. It cannot be charged that the local officials have ever gone in for osten- tation or show in school building con- struction, but have demanded the best that can be procured. Following along these'lines, the plan the board members now consider the most fean- / ible is to erect a combination two- story structure with eight study and recitation rooms and an assembly hall; which also can be converted into a gymnasium for indoor athletic contests such as basketball, etc. There has been a long-felt need for an assembly hall In the . Wllmette public grade schools. No provision wss made In either of the Central avenue buildings for such a meeting place when they were built several years ago. Since the need has been recognized It was Impossible to make over two rooms or more Into assem- bly quarters because the buildings were so crowded that to have followed sttch a course would have robbed the Instructors of the needed rooms for recitation or study places. It is now the plan to make the fen trel Avenue school the central Bchool of the village. It is located so that the distance Is not great from any part of town. While the plan prob- ably will not be worked out for a few- years, it Is under consideration some time, to make this institution, or a part of it, a suit of a departmenal sc.iool Then there is the location of man y ual training and domestic science <i<- r" jmrtmentB In the Central Avenue School which will be organized when --the4bew building is completed The only- manual training department in , the local schools now 1b locat.d in the Logan or west side ln»tltutt.m • This is an inconvenient acraiiKenient • which will be eliminated when the I central school plan is effected.

A local minister invited the men members of his congregation to di- vest themselves of their heavy coats a week ago Sunday, when the mercury was climbing above the -90 degree mark. The invitation was readily ac- cepted and the faithful worshipers were privileged to enjoy th« sermon in comparative comfort. The innovation may be a bit un- conventional, and probably many of those who are devotees of convention frowned at the Idea. But why, under such conditions, should a man be tied down to a custom that really is a pun- ishment? Women dress in cool, filmy garb, and are in the height of fash- Ion, while men think they must blanket themselves like a Navajo In- dian to swelter.

At that period the great metropolis of the west had not emerged from Its chrysalis of narrow provincialism. That much desired consummation wss to be greatly enhanced four years 1st- sr with the advent of the World's Fair. Bat the North Shore, even st this time, was the meeca of all those desiring suburban residences, and it was deemed that the hour bad come when a fine boulevard, linking tnis delectable territory with the great city, was a matter of prime conse- quence. Should Follow Shore Line. < To these men of a generation ago it was an obvious fact that the proper route for the proposed highway should, wherever possible, follow the trend of the lake shore. Aside from the natural beauty of this course, both history and sentiment provided addi- tional reasons. For previous innum- erable generations, the Indian pursu- ing his patient and silent journey had trodden this pathway in his custo- mary itinerary between the Chicago river and the advanced northerly trading posts at Mackinaw. Nearly everyone who twenty-five years ago was a resident of Chicago or Its vicinity, will remember the wave of enthusiasm with which the project of the new thoroughfare was greeted. It was deemed fitting that it be named in honor of that national hero, who by his wild ride along the dusty Virginia turnpike on that mem- orable October morning of 1864. had turned a crushing union defeat into magnificent victory. But this wave of enthusiasm, with the completion of the road, sadly evaporated. Time and the changed conditions of vehicular traffic have conclusively shown that the old road has outlived Its usefulness and today the much-lauded Sheridan road only j exists in a state of partial decay. "Sir," said a gentleman owning property fronting on this highway a few days ago, "the other Sunday some friends of mine were dining with me at my home in Chicago. As it was a pleasant day I proposed driving out and having a look at my property. 'Where is It?' I was asked. When I told my friends that It was in Kcnil- v.-ort.h. they replied, 'Oh, no! Life is too short to spend our Sunday after- nooh bumping over that Sheridan road.'" A twelvemonth ago the largest ad- vertising concern in America sent an expert to report on trade conditions In Chicago One of the features of his mission was t.> make a study of the resident.. pot do.is of that city ami to cotlinutc where, In the future as well as at tin present time, was to ne found th. most desirable place fur rfuburban hon.es .

To reach the Sheri- dan road at its completed terminal st Devon avenue. It is necessary to fol- low Clark street, with its already con gested condition still further nar- rowed by the street car lines. Bat the prospsst that the new Sheri- dan road will*' within a reasonable time, be an accomplished fact, were never so bright as at present. Owing to the nnflaggliigseal of the Sheridan Road Improvement association, more practical results In this direction have been achieved since the first of last January, than at any previous time during the past five years. Since this mentioned date this organisation has been steadily at work in compliance With the phases of the new law which permits the transfer of the road to the commissioners of Lin< oln park. The Initial step of this law provides thai the'consent of a majority of the front- age owners first be obtained for such transfer. The association Is now able to report most,gratifying results in this respect. Owing largely to the ef- forts and public spirit of Mr. John II Hardin, the village of Glencoe has al- ready made the transfer of the road within Its environs, and the Lincoln park board has agreed to accept the transference. Winn< tka, within its corporate limits, has a frontage of 26.000 feet on the mad, of which, the owners of over 21,000 feet..have al- ready petitioned: the village trustees and the park commi^ioncrs to accept the transfer. Out of a total frontage of 5,200 feet In Ken II worth, the own- ers of 3,5(10 feet have likewise signed the petition. The "trip of land In New Trier township, comprising 2,200 feet between Keni> worth and Wll- mette, has also been signed for by its owners, while in Wllmette, with 13,000 feet of frontage, the consent of the owners of all but 4«1 feet have been secured. In Evans ten, from the Wll- ------ i --i--■-------- I mette boundary line to the life savin* station, a frontage of nearly 17,000 feet, consent has been'obtained for all but 1,100 feet, and the association is now circulating the petition along the southern portion of the read in that city. Furthermore, from the present terminal of the completed road at von avenue, a majority of frontage consent has been acquired westward on Devon avenue to Broadway, and northward oa the last named thor- oughfare as far as Hayes avenue. it is to be hoped that as the new read traverses Evanston. it will be possible to have it keep its coarse Closely along tile lake-shore. This would be In keeping with the original design, with the advantage of the superb lake view, with a high, un- selfish public eptrit, sad the best In- terests of the plan to beautify the en- tire North Shore. .
