June 12, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 57 Offer to Extend Evanston Surface Line to Glenview If Glenview but says the word, the Evanston Street Railway company, which now terminates at the Forest Preserve about a mile southeast of the village, will be extended on into town, and through to its western limits, if it is so desired. This vamuable acquisition in the way of transportation, has been tendered Glenview, "on a silver platter," so to speak. In other words, C. F. Speed, representing the street car company, in addressing the Glenview Chamber of Commerce, at a recent meeting, said the company is anxious and ready to extend its line, providing Glenview de- sires it, and it is to be without ex- pense to Glenview. M. F. Grenning, vice-president of the Glenview Chamber of Commerce, who presided at the meeting in the ab- sence of President Rugen, referred the proposition of Mr. Speeds to the civic's committee with instructions to take the matter up with the village board.
