Adding to the Beauty ot the Village,The opening of the ground formerly used by the Golf Club, lying east of Home avenue and south of Madison street, with first-class improvements^ means much to Oak Park, It has been feared that it would be opened with narrow streets and shallow lots, fit only for inferior houses; but greatly to the advantage of the village, and to the delight of those having homes near by, the owner of the property has laid it out with streets 75 feet wide and with lots 150 feet deep. The whole frontage has been planted with trees and shrubbery and street improvements of the highest class are being put in. All of the underground work in the streets, for water, sewer, gas and electric light and all of the con-j nections for each lot are being put in before the laying of the pavement, so* that after it is laid there will be no reason for digging up either the roadway or the parkways on either side of it. Not content, as is usual with owners of property, with laying walks only on the streets on which the lots face, the owner of this property is laying walks along the entire north »nd southlines of it. Oak Park has reason for congratulation in that this land has passed into the hands of an owner alive to the interests of the village.
