Just why, tbey ask, should anyone wish to run freight trucks on Sheridan road, witb its bundreds of twists and turns, when a high speed, four-lane route (57) is available? Witb Sheridan roâd abandoned as a state high wa.y, it is asser ted, and through traffic r outed over Skokie hig=,yor other roads te' the west, millosf dollars will be 'added ,.t *thevalue of properties along the beaùti fuI nortb sihore.
