April 7, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 53 KENILWORTH FAVORS ROAD IMPROVEMENTS Several Streets in West Section May Be Improved in Tie-up With Wilmette Streets Strong favorable public opinion to- ward the proposed combined special assessment and condemnation pro- - ceedings for the opening of Country road through the block south of West Kenilworth avenue and west of the tracks, connecting with West Railroad avenue on a direct line with East Kenilworth avenue and the widening, extending and paving of Kenilworth, portions of Sixteenth street, Ashland avenue and Glenndenning road, coin- cident with a similar project in the Wilmette portions of these streets, was expressed at the public hearing held by the Kenilworth Board of Lo- cal Improvements last Monday night. The project includes the taking of the necessary land by condemnation for the making of the improvement. It does not include the taking of all of the land in the block involved but on- ly that portion that is necessary for street purposes. It will mean the con- deming of all of the Village garage, owned by Axel Anderson; all of the C. A. Thorsen residence; a part of the Kenilworth garage and a part of the Public Stables. It is estimated that the cost of laying the pavement--not including the cost of the land con- demned--would be around $40,000. May Alter Rail Crossing If the project is carried out, it is thought probable that Coventry road would be extended across the tracks so as to connect with Fast Kenilworth avenue. In that event the present crossing over the railroad would be abandoned and closed. The hearing on the project last Monday night was the outgrowth of a petition by a large precentage of the residents involved requesting the Village board to take the necessary action to bring about its completion. At the meeting Monday, which was largely attended, practically no objec- tion was offered to the project and a large majority of the people present were in favor of the plans. It was brought out that the greater part of the burden of the assessment would be borne by the remaining property in Block 36 and the Golf club subdivi- sion. Take No Definite Action No definite action was taken by the board, however, due to the absence of several members of the board and the lack of a necessary quorum. NOW IN EAST Mrs. Lawrence Howe of 175 Chest- nut street recently made a short trip to Bermuda, with her brother, after- wards returning for a visit to Philadel- phia. Her daughter, Anna, with two classmates at the North Shore Country Day school, Annie Mason of Ridge evenue, and Mary Cushman of Bryant avenue, has gone east to join Mrs. Howe in Philadelphia.

At one of the many towns a break came, spreading ruin through the streets. A government steamer rescued 900 refugees, but the four telephone operators refused to forsake their posts. Friends warned them to leave at once. They decided to remain on duty, and the exchange was the only thing in town that continued to carry on. The world hears little of "the spirit of service" until times of emergency, but be- hind the scenes this spirit is always present. Telephone users confidently rely upon the devotion to duty of the men and women who make this service possible. '""Get the message through," is the daily work of the more than 310,000 Bell System employees. ILLINOIS BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY BELL SYSTEM 8 ©) One Policy - One System - Universal Service
