The reasons . adâ€" vanced for this conclusion were based primarily on the greatly deâ€" creased valuation of the property some $37,075. While this sum is In paving the way for the accepâ€" tance by the council of the bid filed by Community Service .Inc. at last weeks meeting, Mayor Ronan read the results of an appraisal made on the property by the Evanston & North Shore Real Estate Board which placed on it a valuation of bid for the property several years ers as ched the business uh-::-mu-dm consisted in formally accepting Comâ€" munity Service, Inc‘s bid of $37,100 for the old City Hall property.
