Evanston was represented by H. R. Platt, of the firm of Mayer, Meyer, Austrian and Platt, who represented the As- bury avenue residents. Residence Oppose Plan Opposition on the part of the As- bury avenue residents to the exten- sion of the proposed route over that street was met with a proposition to study alternate routes through that section, in which Mr. Platt. consented to give assistance and suggestions. Mr. Kingery, by aid of various maps and valuable data at his command, explained the general plans of the Chi- cago Regional Planning association. Glencoe reported that court proceed- ings for paving and widening one section of the route are now pending and final plans and estimates are being completed for two other sec- tions preparatory to spreading the as- sessment. Winnetka has two units completed, a third one, a little over a mile between Oak street and Win- netka avenue, in court for confirma- tion, with a fourth unit and a fifth unit still in a state of preparation of plans. cross streets and in other ways be re- tarded by traffic through the various villages. Waukegan road then, as now, would continue to be the most advantageous for through truck rout- ing, but the new route would, it is claimed, relieve the present heavy traf- fic of passenger cars on Sheridan road.

Inspired some- what, perhaps. by the warmth and cordiality of his audience, Mr. Spald- ing played with a richness and beauty of tone and with an authority of style which left nothing to be desired His remarkably well balanced program proved a worthy vehicle for his great art. The infrequently heard "Concerto in A minor," by Vieux Temps, was so played as to leave his listeners quite unconscious of its exceptional difficul- ties. Whether in the intricacies of the "Devil's Trill" by Tartini, or in the simple beauty of his own "Berceuse," he was clearly master of his instru- ment. The "Waltz," by Godowsky, was received with such delight that he was forced to repeat it. Mr. Spalding's rendition of his own arrangement of "Hark, Hark, the Lark" was a thing of haunting beauty. America may well be proud of so great and gracious an artist. For ourselves, we hope for his early return to the north shore. The beauty of Mr. Benoist's accompani- ments cannot be overlooked in the per- fection of his ensemble. 51% MONEY Have funds to loan on choice improved North Shore Suburban residence property at 5% % in- terest.
