WERSTED MOTOR CO. 562 Lincoln Avenue Winnetka 165 A USED CAR IS ONLY AS DEPENDABLE AS THE DEALER WHO SELLS IT E. Seymour Burge Wins New Trier Essay Award E. Seymour Burge has won first prize in the annual Otto R. Barnett Prize Essay contest at New Trier High school. Burge's essay bears the title, "The Problem of Chicago's Sewage Disposal." Florence Burnham won second place with "Immigration Since the World War," and third place was won by an essay on this subject, "The Other Side of the Immigration Question" by Ruth Hinchliff. All these essays were exceptionally good, it was stated, and as a result the judges' decision was not unanimous upon the eight essays submitted. The resident of Evanston, and alumnus of judges were- C. Lisle Smith, lawyer, New Trier; Mr. Metzel, banker, and resident of Elgin; and Mrs. Winthrop Girling of Glencoe. General John V.

Breckenridge, Pres. 1606 Chicago Ave., at Davis St., Evanston West Shore Suburbs in Path of Harlem 100-Foot Highway The promotion and extension of the new through highway up through the north shore villages, has an important counterpart in similar line of road im- provement through the north shore's sister villages to the west, in the pro- posed Harlem avenue, a 100-foot road from the south line of Cook county to the north line of the county. Glenview's Village council met last week to consider the postponed hear- ing of the opening of Harlem avenue through that village. The hearing at that time was again postponed until March 15, when additional progress is anticipated toward furtherance of the plans. The Glenview News last week, com- ments : "Probably the main reason for the postponement of the hearing is the fact that at the present time the county, in conjunction with the Harlem Ave- nue Improvement association, is work- 'ng on the dedication of a 100-foot street from the south line of Cook county to the north line of the county. "The land, as far as Touhy avenue in Niles, is already dedicated for this purpose, according to W. W. Hickey, of the Lonnquist Realty company, who is the head of the committee working on the matter for the Harlem Ave- nue Improvement association. "Between Glenview and Niles, ac- cording to Mr. Hickey, there are but six land owners who refuse to dedicate their land for the project. However, he expects satisfactory arrangements can be made for the completion of the right-of-way. "When the road has been dedicated the County board will open a 100-foot concrete road through the county, and, as Glenview is in the line of the new street, it is expected that a similar road will be put through that village by the county nighway department.
