-. B A | Ye --y March 13, 1926 WINNETKA TALK Dawes to Attend Opening of New Vets Hospital Plans for the dedication of the new 600 bed psychopathic hospital at Great Lakes, in April, are being rapidly rounded into form with elaborate preparations, which include the com- ing of Vice-President Charles G. Dawes to deliver the principal ad- dress. Col. A. A. Sprague of Chicago will preside as chairman of the dedicatory exercises, the details and exact date of which are now being worked out and will be ready for an- nouncement very soon. All menibers of the American Legion are deeply interested in the comple- tion . of this wonderful institution, principally for the reason that it will permit the removal to the most modern of institutions of so many of their less fortunate comrades overseas who are now confined in various state hos- pitals. They are also pleased with what has been accomplished, as it is appreciated recognition by the Govern- ment of the initiatory efforts to ob- tain this institution, by the American Legion.

I-84 (© MA XY Why We Are Spending $8 000.000 to Construct The Skokie Valley Route IGHT million dollars is the cost of construct- ing the Skokie Valley Route of the North Shore Line. That is a sizable sum of money, and there are two reasons why we are spending it: First--the new route will broaden the scope and increase the efficiency of North Shore Line service; Second--having determined to build the new route, we could not do the job the way we want it done for any lesser amount. Paralleling the Shore Route of the North Shore Line from Evanston to Lake Bluff--at an average distance of between 2 and 3 miles west-- the Skokie Valley tracks are now being laid. They penetrate a section that heretofore has lagged for the want of convenient railroad facili- ties. They are awakening this territory--making it available to the thousands in and near Chi- cago who are seeking new and uncrowded suburban communities. But there are other reasons, of equal impci- tance, for building the Skokie Valley Route. One is shortened running time between Chicago and Milwaukee, which also means between Chicago and Waukegan, Chicago and Kenosha, and Chi- cago and Racine. Another is the achievement of 'frequent, high-speed, direct-without-change transportation between downtown Chicago and the growing communities of Libertyville and Mundelein. The Skokie Valley Route is not a long route, as railroads go. But when completed it will represent a model piece of railroad construction. It is being built to serve you not only today, but tomorrow. It is a definite part of the North Shore Line's program of perpetual progress. It will be ready for operation this spring.
