24 WINNETKA TALK September 1, 1928 Better Candies Among discriminating people there is no substitute for the best in candy. There is no half-way. They must have the finest that can be made, or none at all. By adhering to this idea Beach & Geils Better Home Made Candies have built up their success on the north shore. We deliver twice daily anywhere in Evanston 567 Lincoln Ave. Winnetka 1633 Orrington Ave. Evanston For Better Home Made Candies MAIN STREET WIDENING PART OF BIG PROGRAM Improved Highways to Be Ex- tensive Section of Great Inter-Community Way Bids will be opened at the Village board of local improvements meeting Tuesday evening, September 4, with the result that a contract will probably be awarded that evening for the widen- ing and repaving of Main street into a 52-foot highway that will constitute Wilmette's portion of the proposed new inter-community highway extend- ing from McCormick boulevard on the south to the north limits of Glencoe on the north. Main street will be widened and paved with concrete from the south limits at Isabella street to the south line of Elmwood avenue. It is proposed to later extend the widened thorough- fare to the Kenilworth south limits. County Pays Larger Portion By agreement with the Cook county Highway department, the county will defray the cost of paving forty feet of the 52-foot width while assessed nronerties will bear the exnense of the AWNINGS Whether chosen for private residence, club pavilion, hotel or business establishment; whether used for decoration or protection on porches, balconies Established 1913 26 Prouty Annex -- 1578 MAPLE AVENUE EVANSTON or nook -- Blasius awnings are today preferred by those who want material of unique beauty and rugged durability.

The entire project will entail a cost of ap- proximately $200,000, according to engineers' estimates. As indicated, Main street will eventually become a portion of an in- ter-community highway, large sections of which have already been completed. Winnetka, for instance, has paved Center street, paralleling the North Western right-of-way on the west from the south limits of that village to Elm street, and negotiations are in progress for similar improvement of that street north from Elm street to Tower road, Hubbard Woods, where it will join with the widened Linden avenue. Glencoe is proceeding with plans to carry through the widened thoroughfare to join with Green Bay road at the north limits. Kenilworth is also approaching an agreement with reference to constructing its portion of the highway to connect with the Wilmette and Winnetka sections. Backed by Regional Body This inter-community highway has received the eager endorsement of the Chicago Regional Planning association and has for some time been included in the general highway scheme mapped out by that organization. In commenting upon the improve- ment Robert Kingery of Winnetka, secretary of the Regional Planning association, makes the point that the proposed highway is not to be re- garded as a "truck highway." The fact that trucks may use it makes it no different from any other street on the north shore except Sheridan road, he explains, adding that most of the truck traffic which wants to go to Waukegan or beyond, for example, takes the highways to the west in- stead of the shore line streets. It is those trucks, both large and small, that make local stops in each business center along the north shore that will use this inter-community highway, he emphasizes. "In 1924 when the Cook county Traffic survey was made," Mr. King- ery commented further, "it was found to our great surprise that the max- imum number of trucks on the most heavily travelled truck highway, Ogden avenue, was less than seven out of every 100 cars. According to this data no highway should be called a 'truck highway', especially since observation of the new pavement in south Win- netka (Center Street) shows that bet- ter than 95 percent of the traffic is passenger cars." Mr. Kingery announces that the state is taking bids this week on ten miles of the proposed Skokie Valley highway (flanking the Skokie Valley North Shore line on the east) lying between Glenview road and the Half Day road west of Highland Park. The other section of the highway, from Glenview road south to Devon avenue on Cicero avenue, is expected to be on the October or November listing, he stated. This highway will be of 40- foot width on a 100 foot width right- of-way.
