North Chicago has battled long for relief from the bad crossing at Twenty-second street and have I pe- tition for either raising or lowering the railroads at this point, but so far no action ha» been taken. There has also been some fight for elevation through Waukegan. Coroner A. B.

HIGHLAND PARK HAS LARGIBT PARK AREA A survey recently finished by the Chicago Regional Planning succin- tion, showing what 84 towns in the vicinity of Chicago are going to pro- vide parks and playgrounds for their citizens, gives Highland Park the blue ribbon for having a park space average of 38.2 acres per 1,000 popu- lation. Waukegan ranked low in the scale with 4.1 acted. Zion, with 214 acres of park land. offered an average of 30.6 acres per 1,000 for second place among the 84 cities listed. Lake Bluff, with an av- erage of 25.2 acres. placed high in the survey standing. Wauconda, with 14 acres of park space for 600 people, average 23.3 acres per 1,000, also ranked high in the standing. Lake Forest has 26.2 acres per 1,000. Leads All Chicago Suburban Towns; Comparison With Population Other Lake county towns listed in. clude Lake Villa, with an average park acreage of 8.7; Barrington, 1.2; and Deerfield, 5.2. The Regional Planning Association recommends 10 acres of park area for each 1,000 peo- ple, and that of each 10 acres approx- imately three acres be devoted to playground purposes. The . survey showed that several of Chicago's "ritzy" suburbs, including Evanston and Oak Park, have lower averages than Waukegan. Chicago itself has 1.4 acres per 1,000 population, a low average even among large cities. Chicago Business Looks for Progress T in the Coming Year Chicago wholesalers look upon the record retail purchasing of the recent holiday season as the best sort of a basis for the reconstruction program sponsored by President Hoover, ac- cording to trade observes of the Chi- cago Association of Commerce. "Right now store shelves all over the country are so empty that retailers must hay," said one prominent Chicago distrib- utor. "While hand to mouth purchas- ing is extremely pronounced, the number of orders for immediate de- livery has taken a big spurt during recent weeks with some interest in future contracts." The most encouraging reports come from the clothing and allied indus- tries. With the women of the country won over to, the new fltted and "be. low the knee" styles. sales of corsets. hosiery, lingerie and fabrics have shown a marked increase. This is in contrast to conditions a few months ago when uneertainty regsrding fashions hurt the dress goods con- cerns badly. Under the new styles, it is expected that the corset in- dustry will enjoy a much needed re- juvenation. Ready-to-wear garments are Ilsa being bought rather heavily. Con.. cerns specializing in men's garments also Ire extremely optimistic. Sales by Chicago elathiers in Cali- fornia in recent weeks hpve been the best on record, the Associution of Commerce finds. This has been Ic- companied by a steadily growing in. terest umong consumers in Southern states. Thursday, March 6, 1930
