"My Wife Enjoys Living in Deere Park "Because she is relieved of the problem of selecting the children's companions, as well as the watch- ful care necessary when we lived in the congested city. "She knows that their play will be wholesome and healthful. "She herself has found new enjoyment, and her cheeks are made rosy by invigorating air and bright sunlight. "She now feels confident in her motoring ability, and drives to nearby towns without fear. "The pleasant neighbors she has found in Deere Park have made it the most pleasant place of residence we have ever known."

Promises Evans- ton to Begin $1,000,000 Job Within Two Weeks Grade "L" crossings in Evanston will be entirely eliminated by Jan. 1, 1929 if present plans go through as expected. The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad will start work on the elevation of the tracks within the next two weeks, according to statements made by officials of the company to the Evanston council's transportation committee and to Mayor Bartlett. All of the concrete work will not be in place by the first of the year but the tracks will be up "on the sticks" by that time, it is hoped. The present grade at Davis street will be con- tinued north to Central street, where it will begin to drop until the tracks reach the ground level again before entering Wilmette. The subway at the intersection of Lincoln street and Ridge avenue will be the only major one without center piers. A 105-foot span is to be con- structed at this point and the two streets will be run through at right angles. Sixty-six-foot subways will be con- structed at Emerson street, Foster street, Hamlin street, Gaffield place, Noyes street, Colfax street and Cen- tral street. Clark street will have a 26-foot subway, the alley north of Fos- ter street a 16-foot one, Ayars place a 50-foot one, Simpson street a 50- foot one, the alley north of Simpson a 16-foot one and the alley north of Gaffield a 16-foot one. University place will not go through. A number of streets will be put through that were not included in the original plan and the entire width of each subway will be utilized either in roadway, pier or sidewalk, another im- provement over the original plan. The ordinance providing for elevation was passed by the council last year. The improvement will cost, it is estimated, well over $1,000,000.
