North Shore Suburban Street Named for Late President

     Following the action taken by the South Park Commissioners of Chicago in naming a large public park after President McKinley, the City Council of Lake Forest has decided to honor the name of the late President by naming a street for him. This street, which was formerly Maple avenue, lies to the east of the Chicago and Northwestern depot.
     The action of the Lake Forest City Council was taken after a petition had been presented signed by a large number of the citizens of the town, asking that the name of the late Chief Executive be given to the street. Without any debate on the subject the Council unanimously decided to call the street McKinley boulevard.
     McKinley boulevard is one of the pretty streets of Lake Forest. It is not over three blocks in length and is in the center of the town. It is macadamized, and the shade trees which line it make it almost as shady as a grove in the summer. A road extends from each end of the boulevard for miles along the Northwestern railway, and the scenery along this road is regarded as the finest on the north shore.
