/ Those who have thought that the

number of years. some persons even
going so far as TO say that the young

not live long enough to see it. must

work on the new building started

the concrete walls will be started.
As is quite generally known, the
building will face on High street, and
will have a frontage of , feet. and
will run back on Church street 10 a

/ right on the corner, not a few feet
back, as many had anticipated, the
government having abandoned this
method of construction, having found
il much more expensive, and the
present administration is endeavor-

erect buildings that not only meet
4 the immediate requirements OF those
places in which they are erected, but
also to anticipate the needs for the
next generation or so. but at the
same time not to eXpend 4 lot of I'M
/ necessary money in order 10 crafty

$50. 900, which amount represents
the building cost alone. but does not

See, but I'm glad the town went
dry. | hope it will never be wet
again"
Thus spake little girl, IS years
old, to the Superintendent of settle
ment work in Waukegan. This girl
is wearing her first pair of new shoes
purchased by her father. During all
her life she had worn the cast off
shoes of others.
The Superintendent stated that a
domestic tranquility had settled down
upon the foreign quarter that was
truly delightful. When the town was
under the old saloon order of things,
there was scarcely a night that the
settlement workers were not called on
to quiet some family row, caused by
drink. Now the men stay at home
and romp with their children or play
the concertina. On half-holidays,
YOU will see them improving their
property, painting the house, repair
ing the fence or working in the gar
den.
On an average of once a week, the
Black Maria visited the foreign part
of the city and picked up some Of
fender, and since the first OF May,
