14 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1925 ELECTRIC LINE PLANS NEW WAY To Acquire Gloede Proper- ties in Evanston The Richard F. Gloede property, north of Central street and adjacent on the east to the Northwestern uni- versity athletic field, Evansten, is being sought by the Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee railway, through condemnation proceedings, it was learned today. The road will use the property partly for right-of-way for a new route into Evanston and partly for switching facilities for handling the large crowds expected to travel over the road to games in the stadium. "We need the property for our pres- ent plans and will get it," said P. ji 3 Fallon, vice president of the Chicago Rapid Transit company this week. "It will make it possible for us to give the stadium ideal transportation facil- ities and is also on the route of the projected new right of way of the line. Foresee Heavy Traffic Mr. Fallon explained that the com- pany plans to build large loading platforms of an attractive form in order to handle the crowds, which, in such cases, all come at one time. He said that the road was anxious to make the facilities as attractive as possible in order to attract Chicago- ans traveling to the games to its use and because of the large numbers handled in a short time it was neces- sary to have larger platforms than would be needed for ordinary traffic. The new right of way which the line has been seeking since Dececmber 9, 1921, is to enter Evanston along Railroad avenue, over which it goes from Wilmette avenue, Wilmette. It is to cut eastward near the south line of Jenks street and pass the stadium on the north side where there will be loading platforms. Thence it will con- tinue east and join the present tracks of the road near the canal bridge. Mr. Gloede, the florist at 1405 Cen- tral street, who owns the property sought by the railroad, stated that the right of way would use 108 feet of his land. He also stated that he had not yet put a price on it. The route described above was con- sidered the best one, and permission was secured from the Illinois Com- merce commission for acquiring it. Part of the property has already been purchased, and options are held on part of the rest. It does not yet own any part of Northwestern university field. The objections of the residents of the section forced the matter to a long hearing through February and March 1922 at which Commissioner J. Paul Kuhn listened to arguments by Frank T. Murray for the City of Ev- anston and Attorneys Frederick R. De Young for the north end property holders and Walter B. Wolf for Grove House for Convalescents who asked that the road be instructed to keep to its present route. Owners Appeal Case This would have meant that the commission would have to instruct the city of Wilmette to renew the franchise of the line over its present route. The north end owners lost and Attorney De Young has since appealed the case. Until action on this appeal is taken, the matter must hang fire. The road is going ahead, however, be- A LOT OF IT IS UN- NECESSARY If your eyes trouble you why should you continue to suffer?

Edward B. Davidson of the North- western university business office ex- pressed himself as pleased with the prospects of excellent transportation facilities at the new stadium. The sketch of the stadium, he explained, gives an accurate presentation of the structure itself, but the surrounding arrangements are only meant to be approximations since the railroad ar- rangements have not come to the point where definite drawings are possible. The thing of importance, he believed, was the fact that there would be fine transportation directly to the gates of the structure with ample loading means for immense crowds. No stadium in this section of the country, he believes, would have such perfect transportation as this one is .to have. Builders Make Plans for May Day Festivity The pronounced success of a dance given Friday evening, March 27, at the Kenilworth club, by New Trier Chap- ter, No. 94 of the Order of Builders, has encouraged the organization to stage a series of monthly dances at the club. Prec -.t plans call for a May Festival da..ce on May 1. "Chug" Cnaplain's orchestra provided the music at Friday's dance and will be commandeered for the May Day frolic.

FLYERS ARE HEALTHIEST The results of the 1924 annual phys- ical examination of United States Army officers show that the quarter- masters have the highest number of physical defects requiring medical treatment while the officers of the air service are lowest in physical defects. This, says the state director of pub- lic health, demonstrates the value of out-door exercise in keeping well.
