Telephone Wilmette 3651 Begin Work Soon on Sheridan Road Paving at Ravinia Of interest to the motorist who uses Sheridan roaa trequentty in his travels; also the automobilist-music- lover who frequents the rustic beauty of Ravinia Park in the summer months during the opera season, is the an- nouncement by Anton J. Cermak, pres- ident of the County board, that a sec- tion of Sheridan road between High- land Park and Glencoe will be under construction in a few weeks. This road, part of State Road R-42, has been in poor condition for some time. The construction includes the building of the bridge at the south village limits of Highland Park. Ac- cording to present plans it should be completed and ready for traffic in June, prior to the opera season. Paving of the County line road from Sheridan road, to the Green Bay road, will be started directly after the opera season at the park. As one link is utilized as a spur or detour while the other is improved, it is the desire of Mr. Cer- mak to work on one at a time.
