September Sbowa Buildin1 Materials Market Ia Firm The firm condition of the building · materials market which has existed for several months continued through September and price changes were not sufficient materially to affect the cost index. Local declines in some materials were offset by increases in other localities. Portland cement and common brick remained unchanged. Curtailment in pine and fir production prevented a slump in price, although there was some weakness as compared with the preceding month. The structural steel shapes market, on the other hand, was rather active and the third quarter closed strong with good prospects for the final quarter. WESTMOOR TRAIL .. -in Winnetka Here, you have beauty, privacy, freedom from noise and dirt and traffic. On a private drive just completed, with all improvements underground, to be supplemented with landscaping in keeping with its high character, in a neighborhood unexcelled, close to schoolswith all the advantages of ·country life and yet within the limits of our own Village of Winnetka. Surely Westmoor Trail offers all that is desirable for that home you desire to build. In talking with a Real Estate man conversant with conditions in Winnetka, he made the statement that there were probably less than one hundred desirable lots in Winnetka, suitable for home buil~ing, many of them only fifty, seventy-five feet frontages, very few a hundred feet or more. .One by \>De they are being picked off, and once gone, always gone. With approximately half of Westmoor Trail sold, even before improvemen~ts are completed, all purchased by Winnetka residents for home-building, is evidence that at the prices at which these lots are offered, they are the outstanding big value for those who appreciate and can have home-sites of this character. NEW YORK JOLTS "FREE LOTS" The penal law of the State . of New York "utterly forbids use of the 'free lot' scheme" in selling real estate, according to an opinion given by Albert Ottinger, attorney ·general, in a letter to A. C. MacNulty, deputy secretary of state, in charge of the administration of the New York real estate license law.
