Besides many Wilniette people own- ing property along the road, some from Evanston and Chicago were present to state their views in re- gard to the proposed improvement. The room was fairly well filled with property owners, and every one was given a chance to state his views if he so wished. Lively arguments be- tween those for and against the movement were staged before the board took a vote on the matter. The Sheridan Road Improvement associa- tion was represented at the meeting. After the owners of land facing on Sheridan-road finished their remarks to the board, resolutions were voted on calling for the paving of the street with brick from the north village limits to thi south- limits. #he reso- tions carried. ------- -------- While all of the property owners present agreed that^ j^ road was in need of improvement, there were many who did not favor brick Seine; used. ^#fcr board. h^iei^^^s^'lrlssr would oiitiant any 1^ ing that could be put c«i, aiid for that reason: tlfis ^eedidttona k^#he discussion viw ^:"is#teVItoolf ;X|w ;^^e>x|||| Billings, son twnVtoBajrf "' nigh the' absence $§$§$ ./v^Tha'^itclu^ der the viaduc|.of the raUroad at «meraon street unavoidable, '0m^^^^ tog more than six mOes an ing at the 1930 fcarrow avenue, was neath the viaduct with |i-'yeai*pifl row;aradwCf " lZy^Mr Billings^. w0^0iit^[ Glencoe, at 0fif^lb^!i^^^: ing, w&jjt; on- ti^jMQiifM"^ when the accident occurred; neared the "$grt^^fa of Chicago's oldest famUlea down his machine because ".
