The second bulletin of the Northeastern Illinois Metropolitan Area Planning commission has just been released and some of the highlights are to be found in an article elsewhere in this issue. Of special interest is the fact that the 1960 census figures show that the population of the six-county metropolitan area outside Chicago increased 71 per cent in the last ten years. The growth has occurred, for the most part, in I hose suburbs which are within reasonable commuting distance of Chicago. Divided into geographical sectors, the north and south sectors of northeastern Illinois increased their respective shares of the total, while population in the west sector declined. What many find it hard to believe is that there was no "runaway growth" in unincorporated areas. The proportion of suburbanites living in incorporated municipalities actually increased during the 'fifties' while those living in unincorporated areas declined slightly. K. A.

An accident which failed to result in injuries but caused considerable confusion occurred at 5:56 Wednesday morning on Rt. 120 at Lakeland Park. State police said a car driven by Frank Dort of McHenry was west-bound on Rt. 120 when he attempted to make a left turn just as the second vehicle, driven by Benjamin Grago of Wonder Lake, started to pass. The two cars collided. A passenger in the second car was jailed and placed under $500 bond for disorderly conduct. On the holiday itself, only one minor accident occurred when a car scraped the side of another on Green street about 7:30 in the evening. State police investigated a minor accident on Rt. 173, east of Spring Grove, at 6:30 a.m. Monday. Frank Simmons of Chicago was east-bound on the highway 173 and Don Tripp of Libertyville was west-bound when the cars collided head-on. Other Accidents There were no injuries, but both vehicles sustained some damage. Two cars which were unable to stop on Barnard's Mill road last Friday night collided, resulting in injuries to Marian Modhing of Rt. 1, Richmond. Walter Valentine of Rt. 2, Richmond, was reported to have been driving west, on Keystone road when he saw the other vehicle going north; on Barnard's Mill road. Loose gravel prevented him stopping, and Mrs. Modi too, was unable to stop in time to avoid the collision at the intersection. Two minor accidents occurred in McHenry on Saturday, with only property damage resulting. At 12:05 o'clock, at the corner of Green street and Waukegan road, the front <^ppr of the car of William H.
