PRICE FIVE CI PUN TO USE BUNK OF CANAL FOR BOULE A West-to-North Road to Par- allel the North Channel of the Drainage Canal and End in Wilmette. Qlfffllf E PLAN AS YET Proposition is a Whole Lot of Talk at Present, but May Materialize Into Something- Worth While Soon. Plans for a "west-to-north" boule- vard to parallel the north channel of the drainage canal into Wilmette have teen conceived by the West park com- missioners of Chicago, and surveys have already been ordered. In order to avoid the right-of-way troubles which ordinarily mean a long delay in a project of this size the commission- ers plan to make it a canal-side drive. The co-operation of the sanitary dis- trict will be asked for by the park board. It was in a meeting of the West park board last week that William F. Grower, president of the board, ad- vanced the idea;, James C. Denvir, member of the board, indorsed it and Albert C Schrader, the park engineer, was instructed to make surveys im- mediatelyT " "There is scarcely anything definite about the plan as yet," said the engi- neer. "I have Just started the sur- veys and have not decided upon even a tentative route by which we could go from the city to the intersection with the drainage canal." An extension of Sacramento boule- vard from Humbolt park, which is the northern limit of the west side boule- vard system, is the plan suggested, but as yet nothing definite has been decided upon. It is such a large proj- ect that we cannot bopo to see it completed In six months or even a year. The matter has not yet beenj^ taken up with the sanitary district board, but their right-of-way into Wil- mette has been suggested as an ideal and easily accesBibly route. Mr. Schrader, park engineer, is of the opinion that the boulevard will be put through. He said: "It. is necessary for the completion and connecting up of the West, North and South park systems. The idea of using the drainage canal right-of-way makes it appear closer to realization." Drive Declared Necessary. "Everyone agrees that the west to north boulevard is one that must be built sooner or later, but the West park commissioners themselves do not know just how they will proceed," said Timothy Cruise, secretary of the board. "There is nothing definite about the plan, except the idea of using the drainage canal banks, and that has been discussed merely. "We have not taken the matter up ARDEN SHORE PARTY RETURN OF $60 Lawn Party, Rained In, Turns Out Better Than Com- mittee Expecfefr The lawn party that was planned for the benefit of Arden Shore for last Friday night was rained In and the party had to be changed from Mrs. Van Schaak's lawn to the home of Mrs. T. M. Knox. In view of the bad weather the receipts, amounting to SCO, are considered a good return. Mrs. Robert T. Gregory of High- land Park, president of the Arden Shore association, was present and spoke on the work done this summer. Mrs. Charles T. Boynton, also of Highland Park, and interested in the association, was there. Mrs. O. B. Tennis of Evanston spoke about the bazaar to be given at the Evanstou Woman's club in November for the benefit of the winter camp. Bridge and five hundred were played. Mrs. J. R. Cochran won the first prize. Mrs. It. E. Hall, Mrs. it. W. Jordan, Mrs. Buckman. Mrs. Ren* neckar and Mrs. Wigglesworth also won prizes. Mrs. R. W. Faul won the first prize in five hundred, and Mrs. A. C. Hammond and Mrs. Thurman were also lucky.^ The handkerchief raffle went to Mrs. A. C. Hammond. The leather bag will be raffled later. The cake sale brought in a good return. The Wilmette., committee are grateful for the help rendered by those who donated things and also attended the party.

"I do not feel that we would have any trouble In getting the co-opera- tion of the property owners along the route of the proposed boulevard. They realize what the effect on value of property such a boulevard would be and are already clamoring for one. "The West park board would need some sort of an enabling act from the legislature, and there are a thou- sand other things that must be at- tended to. It Is not something that can be' accomplished over night, but the board has started It, and I think it is going through." Holds Plan Feasible. George W. PauHin, trustee of the sanitary district, is of the opinion that the plan is quite feasible. "Our nortb channel right of way," says Mr. Paullin, "was purchased with that idea In mind. There is space enough for boulevarding on both sides. * "At the time we were buying, that right of way 1 fought for width, and then I said the day must come when park districts would utilize both banks. It presents opportunity for what would be the county's most beautiful and most useful highway." The bi-weekly meeting of the vil- lage council, was held Tuesday night as usual. After the regular routine business had been transacted two rep- resentatives of the Chicago and Mil- waukee Electric railroad appeared be- fore the board and stated that while they were not asking for a permit they merely wanted it understood that the Chicago and Milwaukee electric road proposed to run four trains of three cars each through the village from Central street, Evanston. to Ravinia park on.Labor Day. Their object in appearing1 before the board was to do away with the impression that the Chicago and Milwaukee Elec- tric railroad was trying to "run any- thing over" on the. village. They stated plainly that they were clearly within their legal right in renting cars from the Northwestern Elevated railroad and running them over their road, provided the cars were equipped ith steps and stopped at Intersecting streets. Since no permit was asked for, nothing was before tb^ board and no action could be taken. Trustee Smith stated that so longs as they stayed within their franchise, no action could be taken by the board, but that they should endeavor to minimize the noise made by these cars by not only seeing that the tracks were properly greased but by running slowly through the village.
