nt sc ca EE AS PO September 8, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 19 NEW SIDEWALK PLAN Bills Realty Places Paving at Curb March King to Provide Lawn Space A new idea in sidewalk location is being used in the Bills Realty com- pany's Indian Hill estates. In order to give the residents a longer sweep of lawn and eliminate the unsightliness of trampled parkways, the sidewalks are being laid contiguous to the curb, rather than a few feet away as is the almost universal custom in residential districts. People alighting from automobiles thus step directly onto the sidewalk instead of onto a grass plot, which is so easily ruined. These sidewalks are five feet wide. Between 500 and 600 feet of street paving are being laid a day in the subdivision and already nearly a third of the property is provided with paved streets, according to Benjamin Bills, president of the company. Twenty-six homes, ranging from an $18,000 Cape Cod Colonial to a $98, - 000 English Tudor, are being com- pleted there by purchasers of lots. Among those recently purchasing property in the subdivision are Mrs. Francis E. Ward, George H. Young, W. D. Norris and Marcus Mix. | LSE HAL smart clothes-- the leading extra-curriculum subject in the pursuit of a successful college career.
