Hunt, Manager 528 Davis STREET EVANSTON PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS Kenilworth Permit List Shows Four New Homes to Be Built Only four building permits were issued in Kenilworth during Novem- ber, but they were for a good type of residences, the four costing $87,000 The decrease in building activity at this time was not anticipated by Kenil- worth authorities, who feel that the slowing down is only temporary. This is based upon the fact that the past year, throughout, has witnessed an unusual building campaign in the village, where it is also known that many others have made preliminary plans, at least, to build. For this reason it thought the open- ing of the new year will witness a re- newal of building, which, in the past twelve months has resulted in a veri- table transformation of the west side, especially. The four permits for new residences were issued to: Jack Thornton, for a two story brick and tile and an attached garage, at 747 Cummings avenue, costing $23,500. Harry Zieve is the builder. W. R. Armstrong, two story brick veneer and detached garage at 711 Rogers avenue, $14,500. Oliver Budi- son, builder. John Wyllie, builder, two story brick veneer and attached garage, at 724 Cummings avenue, $15,000. W. T. Kinsella, two story brick veneer and attached garage, 143 Abing- don avenue, $34,000, C. H. Brethold, builder.

Chicago, Illinois NEW INDIAN HILL PARK ON N. W. RAILROAD LAND Citizens Raise Fund to Provide New Beauty Spot Just West of the Tracks Residents of Indian Hill west of the tracks have raised the necessary $750 with which to make a park of the Chi- cago & Northwestern Railroad com- pany's tract north of Winnetka ave- nue and east of Center street, extend- ing to the south line of the Kiewik and Barbour tracts, which, last spring, were definitely taken over by the Winnetka Park district on assessment proceed- ings spread on both sides of the tracks, and also instigated by the residents west of the tracks. Contribution of the $750 for improv- ing the new site was generously con- tributed by residents not only in the Winnetka Park district, north of Win- netka avenue but also by those re- siding in the village south of Win- netka avenue, which is in the Kenil- worth park district. Because of the fact the new park site is now owned by the village, the Park district cannot legally expend park funds on it, it is said, but the necessary money for that purpose hav- ing been so liberally contributed by the citizens, the Park board has gladly taken over the job of improving and maintaining it. : The improvements are to be made in the spring and the maintenance of the park is to be without expense to the district. Ethics Code Approved by Home Builders, Subdividers A code of ethics for home builders and subdividers was approved by ac- tion of the board of directors of the National Association of Real Estate Boards at their quarterly meeting held in Chicago. It is planned that the code as approved be brought before the en- tire membership of the Association at their annual business meeting to be held in Birmingham, Alabama, in Jan- uary. If approved by the entire delegate body of the Association the code will become a part of the general Realtors code. Important clauses are aimed to guard the purchaser of lots located outside of the corporate limits of a municipality against being deceived. As approved by the board of directors the text of these clauses is as follows: The contract and/or deed of a lot purchaser shall specify what improve- ments and utilities are included in the purchase price and what obligations, if any, either to the subdivider or to the public authorities are assumed by the purchaser, Property subdivided and located be- vond and not adjoining the limits of a municipality must be advertised/and /or sold without promise of improve- ments based on probable annexation. WATER DAMAGE DEDUCTABLE Question of whether a farm owner in making income tax returns is en- titled to deduction for losses suffered by overflow and seepage of water where such overflow and seepage from natural causes resulted in destruction of a planted crop has been brought to decision in a case which has just been passed upon by the Board of Tax Ap- peals. Deduction is allowable. COMMITTEE TO STUDY FARMS George H.
