"There has been a great demand during the last two years for apartments of this type, but none have been erected. The reason ia that the land value is so high. "Owing to the high rents denmand- ed here a number of people who have applied for places have gone to Birch wood, where the land value is lower and where real estate men have erect- apartmwrtjr whioh rent at price* nitable to the demand.

Want Small Houses._______ The demand for small houses of six Police Magistrate Boyer Mon- day Fined Masher That Sum for Kiss He Placed On Maids' Lips, to seven rooms, located so that they are of easy access, have been in the greatest demand throughout the year. People seem to be willing to pay from $26 to $25 a month for them, but they object to paying more. "There are certain places in Evans- ton where the residents are opposed | to the building of apartment houses lad there is no reason for encroaching upon those neighborhoods as there are plenty of locations where flat and ^apartment buildings would be wel- comed.

The man admitted it "Well," said the Judge, "you got one kiss. That will cost you $60." At this point Valvacht became abusive and made a warm retort to the magistrate. "You had better keep still, young man, or I will fine you an- other fifty for the kiss that you didn't get. And, by the way, I might say it is a good thing that you did not try your kissing stunt on my wife. If you had she would have given you a wallop that you would long'remem- ber. I know her." Valvacht did not have $50 and was held until morning for the appear- ance of his mother to pay his fine. When she arrived she refused to in- terfere and he was taken to the county Jail to work out his, kiss.
