If you increase the burden of taxa~---------...J tion by ill-conceived so-called improvements, .you will force a large, desirable class of citizens to sacrifice their homes and go to live elsewhere. You will reduce the purchasing _ power of the re_,sidents of this village and destroy our merchants' market for t·heir goods. and such wideninw of streets would not improve the residence property along the streets, but .rathc:r depreciate its value. Widening should he confined to the business -area for parking- purposes, as it is now. Tht· onlv one who would benefit from further w-idening would be the contractors who will naturally profit from doing the work and those who wjsh to pass through our village as quickly as possible, all at the exoense of the safety of ourselves and our children a_nd tf1e property owners who will have to pay for this widening. Such streets as Michilran avenue, Ashland avenue and W~tern avenue in Chicago arc not suitable to a Yillagc like Wilmette.

RAISE ··L~' BRIDGE The "L" bridge over the canal just north of Central will be raised seven:een feet to the new track level as soon as ~>Ossible, according to Van A. Brokaw, engineer for the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific railroad. who is building the elevation. All anchor bolts have been removed and the bridge was lifted six inches from its old foundations, but it cannot be raised further until the high tension wires of the North Shore railroad are removed and temporarily strung around the bridge. The work of changing the wires will probably be completed before the end of the week.
