Residents Plan Oiling of Dusty Ridge Ave.

Property owners along Ridge avenue, the dividing line between Gross Point and Wilmette, held a meeting Thursday evening of last week to discuss the plan to oil that thoroughfare from a point one block north of St. Joseph's church south to a point one block south of Wilmette avenue. A committee was named to take the matter up with various contractors and secure bids on the cost of the improvement.
As Ridge avenue is not paved, the dust from the much traveled road, in the summer time, especially, is almost unbearable. The village of Gross Point contemplates placing a sewage system soon and for that reason does not want to pave the street until this improvement has been made. For several years the expense of oiling has been borne by the Gross Pointers. Now the Wilmette residents along the avenue are anxious to join in and pay their share of the improvement. John A. Huffman was selected as chairman of the committee and John J. Peters, secretary.
