PERKINS HEADS REGIONAL BODY Direct Vast Project To Zoning Dwight H. Perkins of Evanston was elected president of the Chicago Re- gional Planning association at the or- canization of the association at the City club, Chicago, recently. Mr. Per- kins has been serving as chairman of the Chicago Regional Planning commit- tee which was appointed some time ago by the City club. The territory to be studied and planned will take in a radius of fifty miles from the center of Chicago. Sur- veys indicate; according to report, that Chicago will be a city of 6,000,000 in- habitants in 1950 with Waukegan, Michigan City, Aurora and Elgin hold- ing the same relations of proximity to the built-up portions of the greater city as Evanston, Oak Park and Gary now hold. Vice-President Named In the election, beside the president, five vice-presidents were elected includ- ing Charles -S. Peterson of Cook county and one each from Dupage, Lake and Will counties, Illinois, and: Lake county, Indiana. There are thirty on the board of directors representative of all the portions of the territory within the scope of the association. Mr. Perkins, who is the father of the Forest Preserve system of Cook county, spoke on "Regional Planning for the territory surrounding Chicago and its Relation to the Chicago Plan." He said in part: ~-- "It 1s becoming clear that a center cannot exist by itself long--a head needs a body -- and the center if it is built without thought for the environs becomes self destructive," said Mr. Perkins. "It is not for the Regional Planning association to lessen or de- fect the activities of the Chicago Plan commission, but instead to provide those conditions for existence upon which the Chicago plans will depend. Congestion is Death "If Chicago thinks only of her lake front and her arteries she will lack security and permanence for her in- stitution--and her industries as well as her home seeking citizens will be com- pelled to desert her in self defense. Congestion is sure death--even though it may be slow--it is of no service to the community to be served in the loop if they cannot get there. "The Regional Planning. association will therefore recommend many cen- ters, each complete in itself, together with the spreading out into the sur- rounding territory as many of the con- venience and benefits of the great metro- politan center as possible."

SHERER TURNS OUT HIGHWAYS But Now Gross Point Has Real Highways Efficiency, with a big "E," describes Township Highway Commissiofter Sherer's work on the roads in what was formerly the Village of Gross Point, now going through the process of dis- solution. On October 9, Commissioner Sherer Rev. K. C. Schierf, of] township would, from that date on, have supervision of all Gross Point roads. On the next morning, October 10, Com- missioner She.er, his able assistant James A. Williams, and a iarge group of workmen actually started the busi- ness of rehabilitating the roads in that section of the township. What appeared to the average spec- tator as a hopeless job, soon got under way nicely under Mr. Sherer's super- vision, and today, after about a month's work, two-thirds of the Gross Point roads have been graded and graveled-- placed in excellent shape. The work of maintenance will continue through the winter months and as long as the territory remains a part of the town- ship outside the corporate limits of the north shore villages. Going back to the job itself, it will be of general interest to note that about $2,000 has been expended in converting those inadequate thoroughfares into substantial highways. More than $400 was expended in the first few days for stone material neces- sary to fill up the holes in the streets. In one instance it was found necessary to throw in 15 yards of stone to fill up a single hole. When Commissioner Sherer arrived on the scene on October 10, he found a man wheeling bricks from the con- crete highway to his home-site on one of the side streets in Gross Point. His own street was impassable and the trucks had to dump the bricks a block away. That is only one of many simi- lar instances which illustrate how al- most impassable were some of the streets in that section. The Polly Prim Shop... mrs. nok) Smart and simple dresses for children.
