go CE September 18, 1926 WINNETKA TALK PLAN SUPER-HIGHWAY Proposed Road Would Run From South of Chicago West of City to Ft. Sheridan A super-highway which will connect twenty-four towns in Cook county with every east-west street extending to the limits of Chicago, is proposed in a resolution introduced in the city council by Ald. Francis L. Boutell of the 48th ward. The pro- posal calls for making Harlem avenue one hundred feet wide from the Lin- coln highway on the south to Fort Sheridan on the north, a distance of more than forty-eight miles. In a statement on the subject, Ald. Boutell says: "An outer belt highway can be constructed at a comparatively low cost to the tax payers and would divert much of the traffic which now blocks the free use of the state and county roads running out of Chicago. "Practically all the north-south traffic arteries in Chicago are now di- verted by parks, rivers, or the curve of the lake, yet they are the most used. The east-west roads are not heavily traveled, extend to the city limits, but have no outlets from there. The out- er belt highway would divert more than enough traffic to the east-west routes to relieve the congestion on the north-south traffic lanes. "From Tinley Park to Fort Sheridan, western Harlem avenue connects with twenty- | calls for the development of this high- four towns which are integral parts of Chicago and have definite trade rela- tions with it. Harlem avenue in this distance also feeds twelve highways, all of which lead obliquely out of Chi- cago. Would Relieve Streets "Nearly all of these oblique roads are occupied by street car lines, and carry trafic. This condition makes for fre- quent blockades and slows down all transportation. This heavy truck traf- fic could easily be diverted to the pro- posed super-highway where it could be speeded up and at the same time, give passenger car traffic a chance to move on the oblique roads. "The most remarkable feature of this proposed highway is that it would give the people of Cook county quick and easy access to the forest preserves. Seventy per cent of the forest pre- serves run parallel to Harlem avenue and are within four miles of this street. A bus line would make these preserves convenient to tens of thousands of persons who are now unable to reach them. "The proposed highway would also considerably shorten the traveling time to the lake regions of Illinois and Wis- consin. "At present a narrow highway is proposed from 143rd street to the Waukegan road at Niles.

Indeed, there has never been an equal period in Dodge Brothers history when so many refinements of a popular and fundamental nature have been made. The public is registering its appreciation of this progressive industrial service by purchasing every motor car Dodge Brothers can build--in spite of the fact that Dodge Brothers production, during these months, has broken all previous records by an impressive margin.
