Bvanston would have upon the local bdslness. Peter Randier made the ; principal address In response to this ' caU, stating that he thought it would have a very importejit bearing upon j local business conditions, and then he said that to his mind the attitude of the Sherman Avenue Improvement as- sociation, which has sought and se- cured signatures to an .agreement'of property holders not to sign frontage consents for the railroad company, very selfish and, in a way, inimieable to toe best interests of the city at large. This statement brought forth a hot retort from Malcolm C. Harper, who was present as a guest of the assooto tion. ;: ••>!. Effect of Car Line on Sherman Ave- nue Property. Mr. Harper undertook to show that the presence of the street car line on Sherman avenue was ah expense as well as a nuisance and annoyance to the property owners on toe street anil called upon any competent real estate man to contradict his statement that property on Sherman avenue Is worth less than it would be were the streot railway not there. R, Clarence Brown accepted this challenge from Mr, Harper and stated that he believed it to be true that Sherman avenue property is less Tftl* able than Orrington avenue property because the street car line Is on Shor- dther Orrington nor Sherman avenue prop-J erty would be as valuable as It la were it ^Vf^rj'-tlto'fairt-'toit the sttesit ear line Is on Sherman avenue. He denied the statement that th» street car line was a direct detriment to Sherman avenue, but said that Sherman avenue property would be worth more money If the street car line should be moved one block east or one block west of Its present right of way, but explained that this was a prospective, rather than an actual Increase in value. Mr. Brown further stated that in his opinion property on Sherman avenue and Orrington avenue and all of north- west Bvanston as well as the north* east part of to wn would materially suf- fer in value if there was no t^ansno^ tatSon north and south. To. Confer ¥irito Sherman Avenue Init provement Aaaoetotion. Upon ft suggestion by J. W.

Mr. Macpherson was also authorised to appoint a committee of two to work with ajototconnnlttoo^of «bh;ifW>; ton Woman's ehto to bring s#ont cleaner condition of the streets and parkwaya of the efty of Bvanston. Mr. Macpherson explained that the ap- pointment of this committee was the result of a conference he had had with Mrs. Locy of the Bvanston Wesnssrw dab.
