June 30, 1928 WINNETKA TALK INSTALL 187 LIGHTS Wilmette Trustees, Citizens, Witness Completion of New Improvement in * Indian Hill Estates The electric lighting system in the Indian Hill Estates subdivision of Wil- mette has been installed and the lights were officially turned on for the first time last Friday night at 8:30 o'clock. Members of the Village board of trus- tees and a large number of citizens interested in the development of the western area gathered at the sales office of Bills' Indian Hill Estates and went on an inspection tour at that time. One hundred and eighty-seven new street light standards, each sixteen feet high, were installed. They are similiar to the street lamps in the village proper except that they are made of cast granite concrete 'instead of iron. The total cost of installation was $48,000. The completion of this new improve- | ment has transformed a dark area into one of the most beautifully lighted subdivisions on the north shore. The added lights, according to Village President Earl E. Orner, will insure safety at night in the Indian Hill Estates district. Lake avenue, the through route between Sheridan road and Waukegan road, will be lighted as will one and a half miles of Illi- nois road. A. M. Ryckoff, who also installed the electric lighting system in the Village proper, was the contractor for the job. Mrs. F. W. Burlingham, 630 Maple avenue, and Miss Susan and Miss Barbara Burlingham are spending the summer at Deephaven Camp, on Squaw Lake near Ashland, N. H. They will return early in September. Heads Commission Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes of the Chicago area of the Methodist Epis- copal church and a resident of Wil- mette, has been presiding at confer- ences of the World Service commission of the denomination in session in Chi- cago. Bishop Hughes is president of the commission which supervises the benevolences of the church. Eleanor and Darice Elmer, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Robert E. P. Elmer of 639 Spruce street, left Winnetka Tuesday for a two months' vacation in the east. Eleanor will be at Deau Rivage, Portsmouth, N. H., and Darice at Quinebeck camp, Ely, Vt.
