ga ¥ WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1923 SAYS TOWNSHIP CAN BE ZONED Myron H. West of Wilmette Cities Law Permitting Plan for "No Man's Land" NOTED CITY PLANNER Gives Advice on Regional Planning While officials of the north shore vil- lages are discussing ways and means of securing proper zoning regulations for the territory in the township out- side the corporate limits of the vil- lages, Myron H. West, 1240 Gregory avenue, Wilmette, a well known city planner, calls attention to the fact that Hlinois laws provide for the control by municipalities of street platting for a distance of one and one-half miles be- yond the corporate limits. In a statement quoted recently by a Chicago daily, Mr. West said: "I've always believed that city plan- ning was unworthy of the name unless it provided for the future of the city in question and therefore really came under the heading 'of regional planning. May Plat Outside Village "Few people realize that there is a law on the statute book of Illinois pro- viding for the control of street platting outside the city limits where no in- corporated cities or villages are en- countered. "There's a great deal being written about regional planning around Chicago, and a committee, of which I am a mem- ber, is working on this problem. Many people think of this as a new departure in city planning, As a matter of fact I've never prepared a was not a regional plan. Fit Structure to City Plan "We've always included a large area around the city in question, paying no attention to city limits, preparing com- prehensive zoning first, just as an archi- city plan that tect prepares first of all the ground plan showing arrangement of rooms; then laying out 'a comprehensive street system, and finally going back into the present city and fitting this structure in with the plan for the greater city. "I believe that the very foundation of city planning lies in comprehensive zon- ing and in street control, as made possi- ble under the recent Illinois act." Mr. West cites the ci., of Decatur as the first municipality in the state to take advantage of the new law passed in 1921. Decatur, he said, is plotting 16,000 acres in addition to the 4,000 contained within the city limits. Name Plan Committee Mr. West's comment is particularly significant at this time in view of the fact that the villages of Wilmette, Ken- ilworth, Winnetka and Glencoe have agreed to appoint a special committee authorized to study zoning problems with reference to that part of the town- ship not includéd with the corporate limits of the villages. Winnetka already has appointed Robert Kingery as her representative on this committee. Mr. West is now engaged in work- ing out a city plan for Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Among other cities which have had the benefit of his expert advice are Springfield and Danville, II, St. Aug- ustine, Fla, and Lincoln, Neb. Mr. West is also a member of the Chicago Regional Plan commission, and his valuable opinions on city planning are sought by communities in every section of the country.

In 'Ashes Of Vengeance,' for instance, I wear a blue silk and satin gown such as worn in 1570, and feel transported to those times. . . .The upstanding collar keeps my head high, to be haughty. . . The sweeping train con- duces to stately carriage, just as short skirts invite the modern girl to romp and skip. . . .In real life as in the pic- tures we all dress a part, to fit our calling, or befitting the occasion. From earliest youth to old age, men and women express their mental and physical changes in their clothing." "Ashes Of Vengeance" has been acclaimed one of the greatest ro- mances, with a background of mag- nificent settings. Tt opens with a brilliant ball in the great Louvre Palace, arranged by the ambitious Catherine De Medici, mother of the weak-willed Charles IX. Norma Talmadge wears fifteen re- splendent costumes in "Ashes Of Vengeance." The costumes worn by the entire cast represent thousands of dollars and long research work to de- termine their details and make them true to history. Costumes worn by Norma Talmadge and Conway Tearle in "Ashes Of Vengeance" are now on display in the window of LEWIS, INC. 1606 Chicago avenue, just north of Davis street, Evanston.
