Most of the buyers are Interested In homes ranging in price from 88,000 to $8,000. A number of bungalows have been built and placed on the market within these figures, and in many instances a sale has been made before the building could be com- pleted.

HEARING ON ITS MIES Chicago & Milwaukee Com- pany Brings Case Be- fore Public Utilities Commission. VILLAGES IN COMBINE Attorneys for Towns' Along North Shore Get Busy On Case. The State Public Utilities commie* slon will resume Its hearing In the case of the Chicago A Milwaukee elec- tric railroad tomorrow. The first hearing occurred on May 11. The railroad presented reams of evidence to show that they were doing business to cheaply, and asked for the right to set aside special contract fran- chises, which would allow them to charge more for their service. Pestpsr.cc! Eleven Days. At the request of ssveral attorneys representing villages along the North Mi ore, the hearing was continued Until Saturday, May 23. During the eleven days which have elapsed these village attorneys from towns located between Bvanston and Waukegan have had several meetings. Horace K. Tenney was engaged to look into the legal side of the esse, while n. J. Arnold was retained to make Investigations along technical linos. With the information now In band, tho villages which would be effected by the change In schedules are better able to contend in the com- mission hearing. Local Attorney on the Job. C. C. Carnahan, attorney for the til- lage of wimette. was a member of the committee of lawyers, and took It upon himself to spe that Wllmette was rap resented. The money which vanacces- sary to carry on the legal and techni- cal investigations wis raised fey a pledge of $60 from each town. Mr. Carnahan pledged $G0, saying that he would atand good for it himself, If the village board did not think It a matter .worthy of expenditure and attention. At tho meeting of the village board oa Tuesday Mr. Carnahan was reim- bursed and complimented for his prompt action. The extent to which the village would be affected by any decision of the Public Utilities commission Is not quite clear, hut It appears quite evi- dent from the railroad's activities that they are after something that would affect their entire system in Illinois. Evapston has taken no hand in the matter, since they have no franchise with the Milwaukee electric, but have all their dealings with the St. Paul railroad.
