January 7, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 39 TRAFFIC HIGHWAY GETS SOME HEALTHY BOOSTS Project Nearer Realization as Wilmette and Glencoe Plans Approach Fruition Material progress in the fruition of plans for the proposed through high- way that will traverse the north shore villages, connecting McCormick high- way at Evanston with Green Bay road at the Glencoe north limits, was ap- parent this week in the announcement that the condemnation proceedings with reference to the triangular "Dempsey tract" at the north ex- tremity of Main street, Wilmette, would probably receive confirmation in the courts within a fortnight. Simultaneous with the announce- ment of the anticipated favorable ac- tion in the Wilmette project, came the filing of a resolution with the Glencoe Village board, proposing that the high- way through Glencoe take the course of the Glencoe road immediately adja- cent to and west of the North Western railroad right-of-way. The resolution, presented by Building Commissioner William Edwards and bearing the sig- natures of 600 citizens, will be formal- ly received by the Glencoe trustees at their meeting next Friday. Remove Last Obstacle Confirmation of the Wilmette con- demnation proceedings would remove the final serious obstacle to actual construction of the highway in that village, in view of that fact that a 40-foot width of the proposed 52-foot highway would be paved by county aid, leaving a comparatively light bur- den upon the assessed abutting proper- ty. The Glencoe resolution sets forth that it has been represented that the commissioners of Cook county will appropriate sufficient funds to construct 40 feet of the proposed 50 foot pave- ment through Glencoe and that it has been conclusively shown that such county aid road will not be tolerated through and along streets zoned for residential use only, in Glencoe, there- fore the Village board is petitioned to take steps to establish the location and improvement of such intramural road as above mentioned and to secure aid from the county in the construc- tion of a portion of the pavement for the road. Glencoe Cost $781,461 The estimated cost of the Glencoe project is $781,461, including land, buildings damaged or destroyed, and pavement. With Winnetka prepared to proceed with the completion of the final section of the Center street widening and paving as its part of the proposed through highway, it remains for Kenil- worth to fall into line with her sister villages to insure prompt completion of the entire project, In Kenilworth the most feasible plan suggests a route following the present West Railroad avenue, extending from the Wilmette north limits and con- necting with the completed Center street pavement in Indian Hill. This route has been laid out by the county highway engineers, as well as the Kenilworth engineers, it is stated. Three possible routes had been con- sidered but the West Railroad avenue plan proves the only feasible arrange- ment, it was pointed out. Unless prompt action is taken in Kenilworth, that community faces the possibility of losing the benefit of County aid for its share of the highway, according to a statement from the County highway department, ; Leroy Baumeartl of avenue, Hubbard Woods, is expected home shortly from a cruise to Cuha and the West Indies with his wife. Mrs. Baumgart! will remain in New York for a week after her husband's return. 1180 Oaklev Best and Prompt Service Motto of N.S.Gas Company Speed in delivery and installation of gas appliances when this is necessary has always been the object of the North Shore Gas company, according to J. G. Hart, general manager of the company. In order to better this service and facilitate handling deliveries and in- stallations, the company has added several new trucks to its present fleet. Getting gas service to each customer with dispatch and alacrity is an in- dication of the North Shore Gas com- pany's desire to serve with utmost ef- ficiency, Mr. Hart asserts. After an appliance has been sold and installed, the North Shore Gas com- pany is prepared at all times to keep that appliance operating with maxi- mum efficiency. The gas company has a vital interest in the perfect operation of all appli- ances it sells, for it realizes the value of actual service which is linked inevit- ably with good gas distribution and sale of gas appliances by the company.
