WILMETTE LIFE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 1924 E X P E C T P A R L E Y O N R O A D P L A N Evanston Asked to Widen W. Railroad Avenue Wilmette and Evanston authorities are expected to confer in the very near future in connection with the proposed plan to widen West Rail- road avenue in that city to connect with the prospective widened Main street at the south village limits. The Village board has directed a communication to Mayor Harry P. Pearsons of Evanston, setting forth the advisability of having West Rail- road avenue included in the widened through thoroughfare which, with the proposed through highway to be lo- cated on the west side of the North- western tracks in New Trier Town- ship and the McCormick highway ex- tending along the drainage channel and joining with West Railroad ave- nue, would provide a great traffic artery into the north side of Chicago. Action on" a matter of having West Railroad avenue widened will be de- layed for some time, is was explained in Evanston, due to the absence of Mayor Pearsons, who is in the south. _ As previously announced in Wil- mette Life, the widening and repaying of Main street throughout the length of the village will probably go for- ward early in the summer. Villages to the north have -signified their in- tention of continuing the highway _tp the .north county line. The board of County commissioners has appropriated $100,000 as its por- tion of the expense of the proposed through highway, which would be a county aid road. The separate vil- lages will bear their proportionate share of the cost. THE PUBLI C FORUM Wilmette, 111., January 7, 1924. Wilmette Life, Gentlemen:-- We wish to thank the members of the Fire department for their prompt response to the telephone alarm of a fit* at 1602 Spencer avenue. It took them less than five minutes to get to the house and it did not take long to get the rtre under control, it having had a good start when they arrived. Sincerely thanking them all, we are, Michael C. Mueller and family. Gives Special Sermons at the Baptist Church Rev. Francis C. Stifler, pastor of the Wilmette Baptist church, will give the first of the Mid-winter Sermon series Sunday morning, January 13, at 11 o'clock. "The Sufficient Christ" is the subject of the series which will cover a period of five Sundays"."The - five different aspects from which Mr. Stifler will cover the subject are as follows : January 13--"He Was The Light Of The World."- II Corinthians 4:6. January 20--"He Was The Good Shepherd." John 10:14. January 27--He Was The_J»erfectei> Of Our-Faith." Hebrews 12:2. February 3--"He Was The Great Physician." Mark 1.34.

INTEREST HERE IN REALTORS SESSION North shore realtors are turning their attention at this time to the meeting of the National Association of Real Estate boards to be held in Atlanta, Ga., Jan- uary 17-19. One of the important matters to be discussed at the convention will be Sec- retary Mellon's tax reduction program, it is said. Many real estate men believe an un- just burden of taxation is placed on real estate by the exemption of government securities from taxation. National officers making their home in Evanston, who will be at the Atlanta meeting include Herbert U. Nelson, ex- ecutive secretary of the national associa- tion and Hiram S. Cody, treasurer of the national association. Regarding the meeting in Atlanta, Mr. Nelson said: "Bringing together repre- sentatives from the 495 constituent real estate boards of the United $tates and Canada and representing in their mem- bership of 20,000 not only real estate brokerage but the general interests of ownership in real property, the meeting, constituting practically the annual meet- ing of the organization, will be the prin- cipal gathering of real estate men to be held this year for the formulation oi ,real estate policies--and action."
