WILMETTE PROPOSES NEW HIGHWAY ROAD SYSTEM Cook county authorities have ad,·anced plans for a new and practical highway system to serve the Chicago territory, as opposed to Governor Small's $100,000,000 by-road improvement proposition, claiming that the Small road plan does not give to Chicago and adjacent territory the share of benefit which the bulk of the taxes paid there warrant. North shore autoists and others who use the highways to the north will he interested in the plan which affects the Higgins and the Milwaukee-Waukegan roads. A resolution introduced hy Com·nis. sioner Frank Wilson, of the Cook County hoard, and approved, authorizes the road committee to investilZ'ate the Small plan as it affects terminal traffic.

The condition of the unimproved roads of the state, which cause numbers of cars to be abandoned along the highways, are giving these "ghouls" thriving business, it is declared. When a motorist gives up trying to get his automobile out of an impass·able stretch of road and goes home for help, the "ghouls" get to work. They pluck everything of value from the rnachine that is easily removed. Spotlights, headlights, batteries, tools, ttres, and even radiator caps and hub caps are often taken.
