We have to find a little time to serve the business on our lines, to serve the industries that are located on our tracks." "The cost of building those lines and that right of way is not included in the estimated $60,000,000 that it will cost to electrify the line. Gives High Sperd "I have had expert committees stydy the problem of .more frequent service. â€" We want to give the best possible service. We make every efâ€" fort to do it. We try to give every passenger a seat. Sometimes we fail. We give them high speed. You will find that our speed now on our Lake Forest train is faster than for the same distance on the electrified lines of the Illinois Central. "To do that, however, it would be necessary for us to widen our right of way on three lines, the one runâ€" ning north to Evanston, Highland Park, Lake Forest, Waukegan and Milwaukee, the second rmning to Mayfair, Barrington and C+>.al Lake and the other line through Wheaton, Elmhurst and so on. Need More Right of Way "If we had tracks throughout that territory that we could run nothing on but suburban trains and use them as the elevated does where they have no freight business to handle au the Hilinois Central does with tho tracks devoted exclusively to subur=~an busiâ€" ness, then our program of giving more frequent service would not be s6 difâ€" ficult. Pela "To put on more passenger trains in addition to those we now have would â€" still further delay swit« iing and make it more difficult to find time to give service to the and take care of them in tmnlar‘ territory. "We must find some time, someâ€" where in ;3:‘4 hours, to serve these industries our rails. At present we have so many passenger trains operating over these tracks that quently â€"we can permit only hours of switching service out of eight hour assignment of our crews. â€" Use for Freight C We use all our trucks for through â€" passenger and su trains, freight transit, and c switching for the service of industries along our lines. 4 Iilinois °C that are : used excly ger travel Sargent, "t! that has to more frequ haul#, that could give members who are fication c cago.

Establish Districts â€" The village has been divided into fortyâ€"four districts, one of which has been assigned to a member of the committee, in most instances, a resiâ€" dent of his assigned territory. . The membership drive by the Men‘s club is still underway. Many responses have been received from the personal letters and membership application blanks which have been mailed in the past, and those who have not already become affiliated with the club will be called upon by one of the committee recently appointed for this purpose. The aims and purposes of the club were set forth in ‘the letters which have been mailed to the Glencoe resiâ€" dents who are not now members of the club, and it is felt that a personnel call by a member of the committee will now result in obtaining a signed application in nearly every case. ] The next meeting of the Glencoe Men‘s club wwill be the Football meetâ€" ing, announced for the evening of Ocâ€" tober 28. Plans are now being made to procure as speakers, some of the most widely known men connected with the game, particularly in the coaching field, as well as in other ofâ€" ficial positions. It is also said that some of the former star players on university teams are expected to be present.

Motorists who have been playing the game of smacking down the two safety island lights on Sheridan road at Kenilworth avenue, Kenilworth, exâ€" perienced keen disappointment last week when village workmen came along and tore the battered standards out by the roots and completely clearâ€" ed the roadway. & The other transaction involving the sale 0# the Hush and Nelson farms containing ‘together, more than 190 acres. These areas were purchased by Victor Nelson, of Chicago, for a reported sum of $75,000. .
