cut, to those familiar with the situa- 

 tion, that property in the district from 

 Rosehill to Bowmanville would soon be- 

 come too valuable for greenhouse pur- 

 poses and that the removal of the nu- 

 merous growers there is only a matter 

 of time. The trend was seen when 

 Peter Reinberg stopped adding to the 

 Rosehill place and started another es- 

 tablishment several miles farther out. 

 Last year his brother, George Reinberg, 

 followed suit by starting a new place 

 (lut Tessville way. The march of events 

 has so far taken shape as to attract 



public attention, as witness the follow- 

 ing from the real estate section of the 

 Sunday Tribune: 



"The last of the original north side 

 farm land is to go. Rows of apartment 

 buildings, constructed to relieve Chi- 

 cago's housing situation, will grace the 

 sky line of Bowmanville, made up at 

 present of homes and greenhouses. 



"The property to be used as sites for 

 the new buildings is owned by Peter 

 Reinberg, president of the county 

 board and forest preserve district, and 

 wholesale florist. It comprises approxi- 



mately thirty-seven acres, sixteen of 

 which are still under glass and operated 

 by Mr. Reinberg 's concern. 



"It is Mr. Reinberg 's plan to tear 

 down all his greenhouses and construct 

 business and apartment buildings. Dem- 

 olition of the greenhouses will be 

 gradual and the building operations, 

 which eventually will grow into mil- 

 lions, will be started as soon as con- 

 ditions will permit. 



" 'Chicago is up against it for hous- 

 ing, and as soon as I can I will do my 

 share to bring an end to this condition,'
