several weeks that high grade resi-
dence district was planned for the de-
velopment of the large strip of lake
shore property. The announcement
in Chicago declared that the new sub

and restricted residence lots to be sold
for $4,50O,000 would be launched about
New Years Day.

gardeners and sales managers are

details for the filing of papers with
the authorities for the incorporation
of the new suburb and the plating of
streets, parks and homesites in the
greatest suburban project of, many
years." continues the announcement.
|Shoreland" is to be the name.

limits of Kenosha south toward the
city of Zion. 1t will occupy all the
land between the lake and Sheridan
road and strip west of Sheridan road
and the Chicago and Northwestern

Tells of Purchase of Land.
The announcement goes on to tell
of the acquisition of the various
pieces of property which comprise the
the Mollenhauer estate and the Isaac
FAIR and Charles Owens property, all
of which has been previously report
ed here. Five Chicago real estate
operators and brokers comprise the
trust concern which is interested in
the project.
The announcement made in Chicago
enormously states that the tract in
cludes the Simmons baseball park, but
officials of the Simmons company de-
MED that any steps whatever had been
taken to purchase this property. 1t
was stated that probably the owners
of the tract had said that the property
was near the Simmons park and that
this statement had been misunder-
stood by the press representatives.
Golf Course in Center.
The town of Shorthand is plated
with winding streets around an eight
een-hole golf course, being built by
Langford and Moreau

be less than 100 feet wiz \ and most
of them will be 200 feet q Iore deep.

are plated, some as large as five acres

family residence may be constructed

their ability to finance good buildings
and required to sign agreements to
build within a reasonable time.
There are about 200 lots on the
lake shore, not counting the portion
reserved as a village beach. The first
development will probably be that of
a wealthy Summer colony, fine homes
around the golf course and on the
lake.
Development Toward City.

is Attorney Leslie Needham's two
miles of beach property, on which
landscape artists have toiled all last
