J. Crowe of the Sanitary District of Chicago sit- ting at his desk, pressed a small, white control button. The contact released an electrical current and the 600 lamps of 1,000 candle power each flanking the high- way from Devon avenue to Railroad avenue in Evanston sprang into light flooding the thoroughfare with daylight brilliance. This marked the concluding phase of an improvement program which leaves the highway unsurpassed from the triple standpoint of lighting, safe- ty and supremacy in transportation. Assisting in the formal ceremony was Trustee James M. Whalen, chair- man of the committee on engineering, and Trustee Henry A. Berger, chair- man of the committee of federal re- lations. Latest in Lighting Mounted on fifteen-feet high sen- tinels at intervals of 100 feet, the new lights embrace the latest innovations in highway illumination and were manufactured especially for the Sani- tary district, which built and main- tains McCormick road. They are a striking example of the present day tendency to equip suburban routes with lighting systems comparable to those of the great loop districts. - The design for the system was originated by John T. Miller, former Commis- sioner of Gas and Electricity of the City of Chicago and now manager of the district's department of permanent plants and structures. McCormick road is four and a half miles long and passes the new North Side sewage treatment plant of the Sanitary district, which is to be form- ally opened October 3. The middle twenty foot width is paved with as- phalt supported by eight inches of reinforced concrete base. The two out- er ten-foot strips are paved with con- crete slab having thickened edges. This combination is designed to meet the varying demands of present day traffic and will carry the increasingly heavy loads for years to come, while affording n ideal highway for motor- ing. Provide for Safety With regard to the safety factor, a recently installed system of traffic lights gives the maximum of protec- tion, while the entire road is patrolled by a motorized and uniformed force of Sanitary district police. Improvement of McCormick road is a unit in the general north shore pro- gram of the Sanitary district, involving approximately a million dollars, and benefiting an extensive region. Other portions 'of the program, either com- pleted or well under way, include eleven paving projects to close gaps across the Sanitary district right of way along the north shore channel, where various villages have laid pav- ing up to the channel, which parallels McCormick road, and the construction of four new steel and concrete bridges spanning the channel and replacing old structures at Devon avenue, Touhy avenue, Dempster street, and Church street. Landscaping along the North Shore channel also has been started. thisework being completed by dav labor *orces of the Sanitary dis- trict.
