Northrop, veteran real estate and insurance broker of the north shore, was elected first pres- ident of the newly organized North Shore Real Estate association at a meeting of the organization Tuesday evening at the Winnetka offces of Hill and Wheeler in the Ayres Boal building. 3 Other officers elected by the real estate interests follow: C.

Madsen, Winnetka real estate operator, was authorized by the association to negotiate the necessary incorporation proceedings. Give Property Values An interesting feature in the busi- ness of the North Shore Real Estate association is the proposition of creating a Valuation committee des- " igned to serve as a bureau of in- formation for realty operators and residents of the north shore in matters pertaining to north shore property values. This committee is soon to be named by president Northrop. Appointment of other committees is expected at the next meeting of the association. The regular meeting time for the organization was set as the second Monday in each month. At present the association is holding sessions in the spacious offices of the Hill and Wheeler company in Winnetka. The been a convenience to every real estate concern in the township. permanent meeting place will be de- | cided upon later, it is said. | central location of these offices has | Shore Real Estate association be- came, officially, one of the strongest civic organizations on the north shore. The members appeared ex- tremely enthusiastic over the pos- sibilities such an organization pre- sents, particularly as it indicates honestyand fair dealing in real estate '| on the north shore and promises clean competition in realty trans- actions in the township. The regular sessions of the Real Estate association are open to the public and it is the avowed purpose of the real estate interests to cons- tantly maintain the business of the association as an "open book" to the residents in the north shore villages. WORK AT VILLAGE HALL With the passage of an ordinance, Tuesday evening, providing for re- storation of the Wilmette village hall and addition of second floor space in the building, together with the offi- cial legal notice from the Board of Local Improvements announcing pre- paration for receipt of bids from contractors, makes it apparent that the work on the building wil soon be completed. Much of the work of restoration particularly, has already been completed but there is much to be done in the contemplated remodel- ing. The cost of the restoration and improvements exceeds $10,000. Henry J. Schlacks is the architect. TORNADO A MEMORY Despite the excessive cost of build- ing materials and scarcity of labor the damage done to Wilmette homes by the tornado of March 28, last, is now practically a memory. Even homes that experienced the brunt of the terrific wind storm have been rehabilitated and the only indications of the catastrophe are seen in an occasional uprooted tree that has not been cleared away, an overturned signboard or portion of wind-torn roofing. A well trained memory is one that forgets to suspend good advertising. "The man who owns his home likes America." GO TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY DO YOU NEED MONEY?
