Wil- mette, Kenilworth, % Winnetka and Glencoe convened recently td consider plans for the establishment of a through truck highway in New Trier that would be projected parallel and [immediately west of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad right-of-way. . ith these executives strongly in fav- Hr of such a project, the various vil- lage boards promptly approved to the ^general plan and the matter was placed-before the connty^ commissions•; with the request the proposed -road- way be designated as .;^;, Jaunty Aid highway.. i7:\-l!&^i0^$£y::'â- ' County Shares Cost Leaders ia the various communities feel confident that the county author- ities will approve the plan without delay and, in thus designating the road as a County Aid highway, as^ sume a jpjortiotl of thM burden of ex- pense* The ioiihtyy,under those con- ditions would bear Ifii cost of paving an* 18 ioot^ttW^hfourhout the length of the road* it m^plajnjp,, th^illajg :assU*§#&:4§Styp>$P^^ the balance of the expense*; Projecting the proposed hiVhway would necessitate the condemnation of certain prooerttes uv both Wilmette and Winnetka, officials star*.

'""•' Quick-Witted Chauffeur ijiiry to Boy Alertness; #hd presence of mind dis- played by Frank Livingston, chauffeur for the Sidney Corning Eastman fam- ily at 355 Melrose avenue, Kenil- worth, probably prevented fatal in- jury to a small boy who, early this week, fell in the path of a car driven by Livingston on the Kenilworth station drive. The boy. was^^J^eayoring to reach t*te station at a time when many cars were being parked near the station awaiting commuters »frpm the city. He dashed across the drive and-felt immediately in front of the Eastman .machine. Livingston averted the im- pending accident by quickly throwing the engine in reverse. "The youth hurried from the scene without disclosing his identity.
