The . trustees have decided to get first hand mformation with reference to the commission's proposed plan to zone as commercial ~II the territory on West Ridge, from Wrlmette avenue to the district just south of the convent. Two public hearings September 22 and October 6, were held on the proposed zoning plan. At the meeting Monday, October 6 one of the speakers presented data sho~ing that the Ridge avenue commercial district would be larger on the one street than the entire centre.! busine ss area of the village.

About five blocks, near Wilmette and Ridge avenues and Lake and Ridge avenues, would be sufficient, it was stated. SCORED BY SPEAKER (Continued from page 1) d~te.'
