Chicago Men Tell Details for
the Great White Way"
on the North Shore
TOLL RATES ARE ARRANGED
Company in Charge of the Work Claims
to Have Attracted Many Finan-
ciers to che Company and
Success Seems Certain

Circulars have been received in Ke-
nosha giving out the plans of the Chi
cago company which plans to build the
"Great White Way" between Milwau-
kee and Chicago.
The plans call for the construction
OF great automobile, trolley and pub
lie boulevard connecting Chicago and
Milwaukee and bringing into promi-
nence number of small cities and
towns along the route Tt will provide
practically a hundred miles Of unin-
terrupted drive, without a single
grade crossing for trolley or automo-
bilea The great thoroughfare is to be
beautifully laid out and ornamented,
amply policed and electric lighted at
night
The boulevard, 100 feet WIDE will
be of the most solid construction, cal
culated to sustain rapid and heavy
automobile and auto-car traffic On
either side of the center trolley line
there will be a twenty-foot track, each
designed for through auto traffic going
one way only Next to these road
ways, on either side again, there will
be public road sixteen feet wide
open to animal traffic only. At the
extreme outer edge Of the boulevard,
on either side, there will be sidewalk
These are all separate and distinct, it
being impossible to pass from one to
the other. Entrances to the public
road and track for local auto traffic
will be provided at convenient inter
walls. AS already suggested, there are
no grade crossings. At places where
country roads are crossed the animal
and foot passages will remain on the
road level the automobile courses only
being elevated
The enormous value of such a splen-
did combination road system is mani
fest 1t will provide an admirable
means for farmers to market the prod
ucts by means of auto trucks or wagons
thus great enhancing the value of
neighboring farm property. Tt is con
fdently expected that the country adj
jacent to this greatest of all roads will
purposes and will also in certain loca-
tions, be largely devoted to manufact
uring sites Ali this becomes the more
surprising when it is understood that
it is the enterprise of private corpora
tion, and while tending to greatly de-
velop The long and attractive strip
through which the road passes, is to
be carried into effect without calling
for single dollar of public money.
The most attractive feature of the
great boulevard will doubtless be the
through automobile tracks. AS traffic
is all one way, the highest possible
speed can be developed without danger
of accident. This will prove of great
value in assisting municipal authorities
in enforcing the speed regulations.
rs, orchers will be told to do their
swift stunts on the automobile boule-
ward, and to proceed in an orderly way
along city streets, and ordinary public
roads. On this great boulevard there
will be regularly established schedules
of charges, which will be quite reason
able. This will apply to public auto
mobiles and auto buses. From the
standpoints of business, convenience
and pleasure this project promises to
prove a signal success.
This "Great /" hite lay, as it is
called, is to be constructed by the Chi
cago-Milwaukee BOARD & Realty Com
pany, Chicago The company, which is
incorporated, will issue no bonds, funds
being secured by the sale of stock.
