I studied the subject for more than a year before I finally purchased my home at 711 Linden avenue, Wilmette, plying aprice which yielded a profit of about 100 per cent to the man who built the house seven years ago. Sentiment Determines Values Real estate values are largely based upon sentiment, for sentiment creates demand and demand makes prices. If Wilmette may be kept substan- tially as free as it is now from apart- ment, commercial and industrial buildings, the feature of desirability from the home standpoint in Wil- mette will continue to cause property values to increase, but when apart- ment buildings enter, the home senti- ment begins to vanish and the resi- 4 dents of apartments never become the public welfare citizens like the home owners. Apartment dwellers do not support the local clubs, churches, im- provement and betterment associa- tions, but .they take the attitude of temporary residents. They are here thisjrear, but may be anywhere next year, and thus do not enter into the basic stable home life which is the foundation of America's standard of living. . When apartment and industrial buildings enter, the value of the house is continually discounted until the time arrives that no value whatever is placed upon the fine home that was built on the lot and the value is re- duced to that of vacant property for apartment purposes. One has only to study the south side, particularly the Kenwood, Hyde Parle and Woodlawn districts, to see that regardless of how good the homes were, the values of the houses have been discounted almOst^entirel restrict the commercial and industrial areas of Wilmette to the lowest pos- sible limit in every section and this is a financial interest of the greatest im- portance, together with a social in- terest that is too valuable to be esti- mated. V • I have lived in Chicago's various sections and suburbs for 3* years and when the flat dwellers come m the social community Ufe goes out. When Evanston had but less than half a dozen apartment buildings a friend came from New York and lived in one of those apartmentsrv He com- plained that after five yeariof res- idence he became acquainted in Ev- anston only with the peopW who lived in the same building. A flat dweller is a floater and what is the use^ot cultivating his acquaintance, e*gf?£ him credit, or being interested indium in any way, while a home owner may be with you a long time and you are justified in being good* to him and ex- pect the same in return. Homes and Neighbors This man who complained of isola- tion in the flat in Evanston. bought a house in Beverly where there were no flat buildings and became immed- iately acquainted with the whole com- munity as a desirable political and so- cial neighbor. The same thing might have happened had he bought a house in Evanston. It would have happened had he bought in Wilmette. While severe restriction of the com- mercial and industrial areas may pro- duce hardship to some property pecu- liarly situated for those purposes, the balance of the property owners in Wilmette can well afford to contri- bute in some manner, either voluntar- ily or forcibly to take over such pro- perty and preserve the wonderful home features of the Village and have one district at least in the Chicaeo re- gion of which it may truthfully be said it is a village of homes with the home, public and social spirit, the real foundation of our republic^ to trie basis of vacant value of the land for apartments. Apartments Cut House Values As apartments come, it may mean a slight increase in the land values of some small areas adjacent to railroad ation of crowding the stores and of- fices and thus have a few strong stores instead pf a lot of small weak ones. Stores" with volume business and low prices that may compete with the city department stores, rather than small volume and high priced small stores. As to industrial business, there is already enough of that in Wilmette. No further permits should be issued at all unless for garages or laundry. The automobile truck makes unnec- essary a coal or material yard every few blocks. Certainly the passengers on the Northwestern railway, and Jhe elevated road, between Wilmette and Chicago, have opportunity to become expert coal and material yard inspec- tors from the number of them they cannot escape seeing from the car windows. The same is true as to stor- age warehouses. As to manufacturing industries, why destroy this residential district? All kinds of better space is found else- where. Shut out all new industry al- together, unless it is a laundry or gar- age. Do this by all means now known and by others that can be discovered. Eternal vigilance is necessary to protect your home as well as your lib- erty and I hope the home owners will call on the zoning committee and say the word HOME as applied to Wilmette. uiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiwiiiiiiiiiiiiMiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'i- | PARKWAY TEA SHOP I I Chicago Ate. at Grove St. I EVANSTON, ILL. | I LUNCHEON 12:30 to2 P.M. | I Table <r\Hotc Dinner, 5:30 to I 8:00 $1.00 I ONLY WAY TO PARK IT IS AT A HITCHING POST There'.s nothing like a new toy to attract the youngsters.

Yesterday Harry glimpsed his new toy rolling down the street at a rapid clip under the propulsion of ten sturdy schoolboys. Harry demurred, loudly and long, and the "fellers" scattered. Harry pulled up out of breath over- joyed to find the thing all together. Yes, its a revamped one. Has a special body, speedster type and everything, and, of course, it s painted red.

This feature of reducing the value of Wilmette property amounts to such a huge sum that the present householders of Wilmette nu>ht well afford to buy up and give to the village of Wilmette the whole area proposed to be set apart for com- mercial and industrial purposes and I for one would be willing to be assess- ed on my property at a pro-rata val- ue of the other ^>roperty for whatever money is necessary to buy from the owners of the property that might be considered, damaged because of it being classified as residence property in place of commercial or industrial property.
