Commissioner of Police,}
Chicago, October 29, 1928.|

To the Honorable, the City Council of the City of
Chicago:

Gentlemen — I desire to advise your Honorable
Body that at about 12:30 A. M., on October 28, 1928,
one Joseph Koestick, alias Joseph Barth, alias Ed-
ward Darrow, entered the soft drink parlor con-
ducted by John Corcoran at 7338 Racine avenue, and
compelled all the patrons to line up against the wall,
with their hands over their heads and, pointing a
sawed-off shotgun at them, proceeded to rob them.

Patrolman Thomas Curtin of the 20th District, as-
signed to the Detective Bureau under Commissioner
Stege, while touring the district to which he was
assigned, heard a commotion in Corcoran's place of
business and entered and observing the said Koestick
in the act of committing a felony, notified him that
he was under arrest. Koestick fired two shots at
Patrolman Curtin, who drew his revolver and re-
turned the fire, resulting in the killing of Koestick.

From an investigation of all the facts and cir-
cumstances I desire to advise your Honorable Body
that, in my opinion. Patrolman Curtin is entitled to
great praise for his heroic conduct, which not only
reflects credit upon himself but upon the entire De-
partment of Police. In my opinion some official re-
cognition should he given to this heroic act on the

Alderman Clark moved lo concur in said report and
to adopt said resolution.

No request being made by any two Aldermen present
to defer consideration of said report for final action
tbereon until the next regular meeting, and the ques-
tion being put, the vote thereon was as follows:

Yeas — Coughlin, Anderson, Jackson, Cronson, Gross-

Nays — None.

The following is said resolution as adopted:

Whereas, The Board of Assessors, on September
4, 1928, presented to the Board of Commissioners of
Cook County a detailed, plan for making the reas-
sessment under the order of the State Tax Commis-
sion and in compliance with said order and in con-
formity with Rule 14 of said Tax Commission and
requested the Board of Commissioners of Cook
County to appropriate approximately $809,375.00 to
defray the necessary expenses of such reassessment
to be so made; and

Whereas, The Board of Commissioners of Cook
County on September 12, 1928, in accordance with
the request of September 4 from the Board of As-
sessors, provided for an appropriation of $809,-
375.00 to be included in the budget of 1929, and also
provided that said amount should be available now
to pay the necessary expenses of making this re-
assessment as ordered by the Tax Commission and
m accordance with Rule 14 of that Commission; and

Whereas, Judge Friend in the Circuit Court of
Cook County on October 10, 1928, denied the injunc-
tion writ for which a petition was filed on August
6, and refused to restrain the local assessment ofTi-
cers from making the reassessment of real estate
of Cook County in the year 1928 as ordered by the
Tax Commission; and

Whereas, Further injunction proceedings against
the County Treasurer are threatened in order to
prevent him from paying all, or any part of the
$809,375.00 provided by the Board of Commissioners
of Cook County for services and other expenditures
required by the Board of Assessors for making this
reassessment as ordered, and such proceedings, even
if unsuccessful eventually, would operate so to de-
lay the reassessment that the City and County are '
thereby seriously threatened by the menace of no

legal asses.sment in 1928 on which lo colled in apt
time revenue for the schools and oLhei' jjuhlic pur-
poses in 1-929; and

WiiKiiKAS, 'J'lirough the publication of the 1927 as-
sessment of real estate in Cook County, made under
th(j or(l(!r of the State 'i'ax Commission, and the in-
vi^sljgations by the Illinois Joint Revenue Commit-
tee, said 1927 assessment of real estate in Cook
County has been shown to be so unfair, inequitable
and lackmg in uniformity that, in justice to the tax
payers and public bodies charged with responsibility
lor conducting the public business, said reassess-
ni(!nt should proceed without hindrance or delay-
now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By the City Council of the City of Chi-
cago, that in order that an equitable and uniform re-
assessment of real estate in Cook County may be
made by the local assessment ofTicers, under fheir
plan and Rule 14, as ordered by the Tax Commis-
sion, the sum of $280,853.00 is hereby pledged to be
appropriated and set up in the 1929 budget by the
City Council for the purpose of defraying the ex-
penses incident to the work of obtaining the neces-
sary information under said Rule 14 in regard to
lots and improvements thereon as set forth in the
plan presented by the Assessors to the County Board
and approved by that Board on September 12 1928
said sum of $280,853.00 herein indicated being the
pro rata share of the City of Chicago of the total
expenditure of $809,375.00 provided and appro-
priated by the County Board on September 12 1928
the payment of which $809,375.00 in apt time to meet
the public needs may otherwise be prevented by
the threatened injunction proceedings; and be it
further

Resolved, Further, that clerks or deputies of the
assessors of this County whose salaries or compen-
sation are advanced out of funds provided hereunder
shall, at the time of such advancement or payment
assign the payroll items or compensation covered
by such payments, in trust in some sufficient form,
for the benefit of the municipalities whose funds
are used in such payments or advanced.

REPORT
ON THE

USE OF THE CITY VEHICLE LICENSE TAX
0

Prepared
By The
Street Traffic Committee
Of

The Chicago Association of Commerce
— 0 —
October, 1928 '

USE OF CITY VEHICLE LICENSE TAX

(1) During the present year there has been much
concern over the condition of the city streets and
this has led to questions relative to the expenditure
of the city vehicle tax revenue, and its use for pur-
poses other than actual street repair and mainte-
nance.

(2J The ordinance requiring the payment of a
vehicle tax by all owners of vehicles in the city of
Chicago was adopted in 1908. It was based upon the
theory that vehicles owned and operated in Chicago
and using the streets to an increasing extent with
each passing year should contribute to the growing
cost of repair and maintenance. It will. be noted
that this tax was designed snecifically to aid in
keeping our streets in good condition and not as an
addition to the corporate revenues of the city, as in
the case of other miscellaneous license taxes, nor as
a substitute for street maintenance appropriation
from the general funds.

(3) The original ordinance covering the expendi-
ture of funds derived from the vehicle license tax
provided that 85% of the money collected in any
ward should be expended in repairing and maintain-
ing the streets of that ward. The remaining 15%
should be expended by the. Commissioner of Public
Works in repair and maintenance of heavy traffic
arteries regardless of where located. This was a
definite and easily understood method of apportion-
ing the funds so that each ward could know the
amount of money available from this source in any
given year for street repair and maintenance pur-
poses.

(4) Upon the argument that the 85% and 15%
method of dividing the revenue gave some wards

jnoyc. money limn needed and left olhers without
Kurii('i(!nt funds to care for urgently necessary work,
tiiis iii'ovision of the orflina/uje lias not been fol-
lowed in recrmt years, and was entii-ely eJiminated
hy repeal on August 0, 1928. Instead, it appears
tiiat no inetiiod excej)t fliscretion and exjtediency was
substitutfid for tiie original definite plan.

(5) Wheel tax revenue eollected was in excess
of $/i'iO,000.00 in 1908 and annual collections have
since grown rapidly until it is estimated Uiat more
than .Vi, 500,000.00 will have been collected in 1928.

(fi) As the revenue increased so did the tempta-
tion to utilize parls of it for purposes not connected
with the repair anrl maintenance of the street sur-
faces. Such unauthorized use was tolerated from
year to year in direct violation of the statute en-
abling the levy of this tax which specifically limited
the use of the revenue so derived to repair of streets
and alleys.

(7) The 1928 appropriation bill set up the dis-
tribution of the wheel tax fund as follows :

City Clerk, City Collector, Police De-
partment, Clerical Work, License

Tags, etc 439,495.00

Bureau of Engineering to repair of

paving on bridge approaches 200,000.00

Bureau of Sewers to replace manhole

and catch basin covers, etc 50,000.00

Bureau of Streets to repair of streets. 3,820,505.00

Total $4,510,000.00

The amount appropriated to the Bureau of Streets
is divided as follows:

General administration and super-
intendence .$ 99,900.00

Maintenance and repair equipment.. 123,330.00

Purchase of equipment 135,000.00

Street and warning tra-ffic signals. . . . 111,000.00

Maintenance of plants 29,500.00

To pay 1927 unpaid bills, teams,

salaries and wages 449,380.00

For repair of streets 2,872,395.00

Total $3,820,505.00

(8) The cost of collection of the vehicle tax in-
cluding the cost of the tags has increased from
.$3,239.34 or %% of the total vehicle tax expendi-
ture in 1908, to $439,495.00 or 9%% in 1928. The
cost of collection per vehicle, including the cost of
the tags, has increased from 6c in 1908 to $1.03 in
1928 or an increase of 1700%.

(9) It was not until 1917 that the Bureaus of
Engineering and Sewers first received monies out
of the vehicle tax fund. This appropriation has in-
creased from $49,700.00 to $200,000.00 for the Bu-
reau of Engineering; for the Bureau of Sewers it
has increased from $18,800.00 to $50,000.00.

(10) After the deduction for the expense of col-
lection and the portions going to the Bureaus of
Engineering and Sewers, it will be noted in this
budget set-up that the Bureau of Streets received
$3,820,505.00. Of this sum the budget actuallv pro-
vided for $2,872,395.00 to be used in the repair of
streets.

dll The money spent by the Bureau of Streets
has been gradually decreasing from a figure of 99%
(in 1908) of the total amount expended to 84.5%
(in 1928V The figure most interesting to the public,
however, is that of the amount spent in actual re-
pair work. In 1908, 99% of the total exoenditure
was actually put into repair of streets. Each year

this percentage has been decreasing until this year
when under the present ordinance the Council ap-
propriated for repair work only 63.7% of the prob-
able total collection.

(12) Tlie express purpose of this report is to rec-
ommend certain changes in the use and distribution
of the revenue derived from vehicle owners. The
first matter suggested for consideration is tliat of
division of the entire fund.

(13) Conditions have changed since the adoption
of the first ordinance in which it was provided that
85% of the available fund for repairs should be re-
turned to the ward in which collected and 15% to
the Commissioner of Public Works to be used on
heavily traveled streets. Today travel is rnore wide-
spread and it seems imperative that a greater per-
centage of the fund should be applied to the major
traffic streets. It is suggested that- the entire fund
collected be divided as follows :

(1) Collection (Not to exceed) 2%

(2) Administration (Not to exceed) 5%

To include superintendence and repair
of equipment.

(3) Repair of Major Traffic Streets ' 45%

This portion to be assigned to the en-
tire city and then each ward to receive a
proportionate share according to the
method hereinafter indicated.

(4) Repair of Local Traffic Streets 35%

This portion to be assigned to the en-
tire city and then each ward to receive a
proportionate share according to the
method hereinafter indicated.

(5) Commissioner of Public Works' Fund 13%

This portion to be used in the repair of
heavily traveled streets in any wards
where the ward allotment proves insuffi-
cient, and to include any funds which may
be properly and legally allotted by the
Commissioner of Public Works to any
bureau.

With such a distribution of the funds, 93% will
be used in the actual repair made necessary by the
operation of vehicles — a condition which has not
existed since 1910.

Collection of Tnst

(14) The only legally permissible charges
against the vehicle license tax fund for collection
are the actual cost of the manufacture of the license
tags along with storage and physical handling costs;
a moderate amount to cover clerk hire; printing;
and mailing of notices. This total amount should
not exceed 2% of the entire fund.

(15) Suggested Method of Checking Delinquents.
It is suggested that clerks be employed at Spring-
field to make up daily lists of owners giving Chi-
cago addresses to whom state motor vehicle licenses
are issued. Such lists — on cards, and containing
names, addresses, state license numbers, kinds of
vehicles, and other pertinent information — to be
filed in Chicago and used as a basis for issuing warn-
ings and later, if necessary, summonses to those
delinquents in paying city vehicle tax. It is be-
lieved that such a system would require not more
than three clerks at Springfield and three in Chi-
cago. Notices and summonses could be served by
police officers in the various districts or police pre-
cincts. The enforcement of the wheel tax ordi-

, nance, not unlike other ordinances, is clearly a func-
tion of the Police Department.

A-dministration

(16) The 5% allotted for administration is to
be expended under the general direction and au-
thority of the Commissioner of Public Works of
whose department the Bureau of Streets is a part.
The items provided for under this classification are
superintendence and maintenance and repair of
equipment. Uniform practice in determining the
extent of the repair work to be done is essential and
to this end it is suggested that an annual survey
be made by the present engineering staff of the
Bureau of Streets to provide this information. The
making of this survey is properly a part of the
item of superintendence. It is not provided by the
enabling statute that any, monies collected under
the vehicle tax ordinance be used for purchase of
equipment. This item should not appear in any
appropriation from wheel tax revenue. Since this
revenue was intended merely to supplement the
general funds of the municipality to carry out the
city's duty in keeping streets in a reasonable safe
condition for travel, it is also questionable whether
any part thereof should be used for repair of equip-
ment. However, for the present, appropriation
might be made to repair equipment heretofore pur-
chased out of wheel tax revenue. In the event that
appropriation for administration does not total 5%
of the revenue, the balance thereof shall automatic-
ally become a part of the fund known as "Gorh-
missioner of Public Works' Fund."

Major Traffic Streets

(17) Because of their importance major traffic
streets for the city as a whole are allotted 45% of
the total vehicle tax fund. These arteries are sub-
jected to unusual wear and tear and form the back-
bone of the street system. In this classification
are included all street car line streets, authorized
through streets as provided for by ordinance and
such other heavily traveled arteries as by location
are of prime necessity to the movement of through
traffic. The utmost importance is attached to the
proper repairing of these classes of streets.

Local Traffic Streets

(18) Local traffic streets, by reason of their use
principally by local traffic, are not normally sub-
jected to severe wear and tear. Such streets are in-
tended to include all thoroughfares other than those
included in the classification of major traffic streets
herein defined. This class of streets is allotted 35%
of the total vehicle tax fund.

Commissioner of Public Works' Fund

(191 It is possible that in some wards sufficient
funds out of regular allotments may not be avail-
able in some years to provide for the necessary re-
pair of major traffic streets. To meet such a situa-
tion the Commissioner of Public Works is provided
with an amount equal to 13% of the total vehicle
tax fund. Any unexpended monies in this fund
might properly be utilized in reconstructing the curb
radii at more or loss dangerous intersections, and
other similar purposes for which wheel tax revenue
may properly and legally be used.

PROPOSED METHOD TO DETERMINE WARD PROPORTIONS

(20) It is of controlling importance to devise a
method that will insure equitable and impartial dis-
tribution of this important fund — one by which
every alderman may test and determine that his

determined for the city and each ward by the Board
of Local Improvements. In making up this figure,
however, it is suggested that the Board of Local Im-
provements do not consider as paved streets the
old cedar block pavement, the laying of which was
discontinued in 1903 and macadam pavements older
than ton years.

census gives this information each ten years for the
city and the individual ward. In the non-census
years estimates are prepared by the Librarian of
the Municipal Reference Library.

(27) Using these four factors, it is easily de-
termined what credit each ward should receive for
its miles of paved streets, vehicular registration,
area and population. Some of these factors should
have more weight than others, and it is recommend-
ed that iVIiles of Paved Streets receive 40%, Ve-
hicular Registration 30%, Area 15%, and Populalion
15%.

the application of these factors in relation to any

'Note: In computing this item it is suggested that consideration be given to the mileage of the various
types of pavement and not include the mileage of Major Tralfic Streets.

(29) If each factor had equal weight — that is
25% — tlie ward w-ould receive 25% or one-fourth
of the percentage figure in Column "C" for each
factor. These factors, however, do not have the
same weight and therefore the adjusted percentage
for the ^.vard would be determined as follows : In
case of the item, "Miles of Paved Streets" by taking
40% of the figure 8 in column "C" which is 3.2%'
similarly for "Vehicular Registration" by taking
30% of the figure 4 in the same column which is
1.2% and so on for the 'Other two factors. The
total of the adjusted percentages in Column "D" in
this case is 5.45% and is the percentage used to de-
termine the amount due that ward. In this example,
the ward w-ould be entitled to receive 5.45% of the
money set aside for Local Traffic Streets.

SUMMARY OP CONCLUSIONS

(30) It is recommended that the City Council be
requested to pass an ordinance providing for the

distribution and expenditure of the vehicle tax fund
in accordance with the intent of the state law which
is the sole authority for raising such revenue. To
this end it is recommended:

A. That the entire revenue derived from the ve-
hicle tax be apportioned as follows :

Collection (Not to exceed ) 2%

Administration (Not to exceed) 5%

Repair of Major Traffic Streets 45%

Repair of Local Traffic Streets 35%

Commissioner of Public Works' Fund. 13%

B. That the repair of Major Traffic Streets be
made out of an appropriation of 45% of the
entire revenue on the basis of miles of paved
class of streets in each ward as compared
with the total mileage of similar streets for
for the whole city.

C. That the repair of Local Traffic Streets be
made out of an appropriation of 35% of the

October 31, 1928.

3849

entire revenue on the basis of miles of paved
streets, vehicle registration, area and popu-
lation in each \A-ard as compared with the
total of those items for the whole city.

D. That inasmuch as the Secretary of State is
not required by law to compile lists of those
applying for state licenses by cities or other
groupings, arrangements should be made by
the city to compile such information at
Springfield for Chicago. These records to be
used in Chicago by the proper city official and
police department in such cases where the
owner of a state license fails to pay his city
wheel tax.

Report of Work Performed on the Lake Calumet
Harbor Project.

Alderman Guernsey presented the following memo-
randum, which was ordered published and placed on
file:

To the Honorable William Hale Thompson, Mayor
of the City of Chicago, and the City Council, City
of Chicago:

Calumet Harbor project has been at a stand
for two years and at the present time is in a chaotic
and discouraging situation attributable largely to
misunderstanding, misinformation, adverse State
legislation and lack of co-ordination on the part of
the agencies interested in the success of the venture.

No matter who else may be making an effort to
hasten the days of dredging, the City Administra-
tion and City Council cannot escape the responsibil-
ity for and the consequences of inaction.

In order that further consideration of the Calumet
Harbor problem may be based upon a full knowledge
of the present situation and the incidents leading
up to it, I have asked Benton F. Kleeman to prepare
a short historical epitome of the work accomplished
thus far which I submit herewith with a request
that it be printed in a sufficient quantity to meet the
demand which it has been compiled to supply.

(Signed) Guy Guernsey,

Alderman Sixth Ward.

On motion of Alderman Guernsey authority was
granted for the printing of 1,000 copies of the memo-
randum submitted with the foregoing communication.

THIRTEENTH WARD.

In the Matter of Double Salaries Being Paid to Certain
Officers and Attorneys of the Chicago Railways Co.

Alderman McDonough presented the following reso-
lution:

Whereas. The newspapers recently published that
Henry A. Blair as president of the Chicago Surface
Lines receives a salary of $60,000 a year; that Frank
L. Hupp as secretary of the Chicago Surface Lines
receives a salary of $6,000 a year; that James M.
Sheean as counsel for the Chicago Surface Lines re-
ceives a salary of S25.000 a year; and that Wey-
mouth Kirkland as counsel for the Chicago Railways
Company receives a salary of $24,000 a year; and
that since the Chicago Railways Company went into
the hands of receivers about two years ago, the said
Henry A. Blair as one of the receivers has been paid
a salary of $60,000 a year; the said Frank L. Hupp,
as secretary for the receivers has been paid a salary
of $6,000 a year; the said James M. Sheean and Wey-
mouth Kirkland as attorneys for the receivers have
each been paid a salary of $24,000 a year;

Frederick A. Rawson, as one of the receivers, has
been paid a salary of $60,000 a year; the estate" of
John J. Mitchell has been paid $50,000 for the serv-
ices of said Mitchell as receiver prior to his death;
and that the total salaries so paid to said receivers,
their secretary, and counsel now amount to more
than $400,000, all of w^hich has been charged to the
joint account of the Chicago Railways Company and
the City of Chicago as an operating expense, so that
55% or about $220,000 has been charged to the City
of Chicago; and

Whereas, The services rendered by the said Henry

he ought to give as prersident of the Chicago Surface
Lines, and the same is true as to Sheean and Hupp.
This means that the Chicago Railways Company
has doubled the salaries of said Blair, Sheean and
Hupp and made these salaries unreasonable and ex-
cessive, Mr. Blair's salaries are $45,000 a year more
than the President of the United States receives.
These salaries ought not in any event to exceed the
following amounts as operating expenses of which
the City pays 55% :

Henry A. Blair $60,000 a year

James M. Sheean 25,000 a year

Frank L. Hupp 6,000 a year; and

Whereas, The 1907 ordinance grant to the Chicago
Railways Company provides as follows:

"Section 19. The company may pay to the
directors, officers, agents and attorneys of the
company as a part of the operating expenses, com-
pensation for their services commensurate with
the service actually rendered by them respectively,
taking into consideration the compensation paid
to directors, officers, agents, and attorneys of other
corporations or enterprises of similar magnitude
and general character for like services, but the
said city by written notice thereof may object to
the payment thereafter of compensation in excess
of an amount or rate specified in such objection
to any such director, officer, agent or attorney, and
in the event of a disagreement between the com-
pany and the said city as to the proper amount
to be paid as such compensation, the matter shall
be submitted to the judgment of the said Board of
Supervising Engineers whose decision shall be
final and binding upon the parties, except that if
either party shall be dissatisfied with such deci-
sion of said board, then such dissatisfied party may
make application to any court of competent juris-
diction to pass upon such objection and to deter-
mine the amount of the compensation or salary to
be paid."

now therefore, be it •

Resolved, By the City Council of the City' of Chi-
cago, That the said Chicago Railways Company and
its receivers are hereby notified and directed to
readjust the accounting with the City under the
1907 ordinance as extended so as to take out of the
joint account all of the salaries of said receivers and
of their counsel and secretary and to reimburse the
city to the extent of 55% of such salaries hereto-
fore paid.

Resolved Further, That if the Chicago Railways
Company and its receivers shall fail to do this with-
in ten days from this date then the City Comptroller
is hereby authorized and directed on behalf of the
City of Chicago to submit to the Board of Supervis-
ing Engineers under said 1907 ordinance for its de-
termination the question whether the salaries now
being paid to the said Henry A. Blair as president,
Frank L. Hupp as secretary, and James M. Sheean
as counsel, of the Chicago Surface Lines are ex-
cessive and disproportionate to services rendered,
and also the question whether the salaries of the
receivers of the said Chicago Railways Company
and the salaries of the secretary and counsel for said
receivers properly constitute an operating expense
or are proper to be charged to the joint account of
said Company and City, and the said Board of
Supervising Engineers is requested to inquire into
the character and extent of the services performed
by the above-named persons for the Chicago Sur-
face Lines.

Resolved Further, That the City Clerk be and is

hereby authorized and directed to deliver a copy
of this resolution to the said Chicago Railways Com-
pany and a copy to the receivers of said company,
and also file a copy with the said Board of Super-
vising Engineers.

Proposed Restriction of the City Council to tlie Passage
of One Appropriation Ordinance in Each Year.

Alderman Clark presented the following resolution,
which was ordered published and referred to the Com-
mittee on Finance:

Whereas, It has been the practice — oyer a period
of many years, for the Committee on Finance, in its
work of providing appropriations to carry on the
fiscal activities of the City's departments, to rec-
ommend to the City Council for passage what is
known as the Supplemental or Baby Budget, on or
about June 30th of each year, and

Whereas, It has been found that such appropria-
tion of funds, supplemental to the City's original
budget, passed in the early part of the year, does
not tend toward the strictest economy in the ex-
penditure of the taxpayers' money, hut, on the con-
trary, leads to a now well-defined habit on the part
of department heads of looking forward to the mid-
dle of the year as the time when they may expect,
successfully, to have accorded to them additional
funds for the conduct of their respective depart-
ments for the last six months of the year, and

Whereas, The passage of but a single, scientifically
prepared, budget at the beginning of the year, which
would anticipate and provide only for the reasonable
needs and requirements of the City's departmental
activities, would tend to a more pronounced effi-
ciency in the conduct of the business of the city
government and eliminate the expenditure of goodly
sums for municipal activities not contemplated or
covered in the various departments' original esti-
mates and which, in the light of subsequent develop-
ment, have not always been found necessary or ex-
pedient, and

Whereas, By the adoption of the single method
of appropriation for the fiscal year, experience
would seem to indicate that an appreciable increase
in available funds on hand at the close of the year
would be found to exist because of the non-appro-
priation,, in the middle of the year, of all of the
anticipated revenue from miscellaneous sources for
the entire year, and

Whereas, The adoption of this suggested policy
by the City Council would undoubtedly result in a
more sound, economic and efficient administration
of the problem of appropriating for the financial
necessities of the city government, and, as a result,
obviate the necessity, in the future, of dealing with
the problem of any possible deficits in the City
Treasury, therefore he it

Resolved, That an ordinance be prepared that will
restrict the City Council to the passage of but one
Appropriation Ordinance in each year.

Sundry Claims.

In the Matter of Providing Additional Schools
in the 33rd Ward.

Alderman Petlak presented the following resolution,
which was ordered published and referred to the Com-

Whereas, The Kosciuszko, Burr and Drummond
public schools, which serve the children in the 33rd
ward are inadequate to care for the children in the
district and are old buildings and very deficient in
necessary school facilities; and

Whereas, It now appears to be the plan of the
Board of Education to care for the surplus children
in the 33rd ward by the erection of junior high
schools on the sites of the Wells and Pulaski schools;
and

Whereas. The people in the 33rd ward are op-
posed to this plan as it will necessitate their chil-
dren travelling to a great distance and crossing busy
thoroughfares which would be a source of danger;
and

Whereas, The 33rd Ward has received less con-
sideration from the Board of Education in the mat-
ter of building of new schools than any other dis-
trict in the City of Chicago; therefore be it

Resolved, That the City Council of the City of
Chicago hereby respectfully requests the Board of
Education to include in its building plan provisions
for necessary schools in the 33rd Ward.

Promise of Co-operation, by Hon. Floyd E. Thompson,
in the Construction of Elevated "Through"
Highways for Chicago.

Alderman Massen presented the following communi-
cation, which was ordered published and placed on file:

Chicago, October 28, 1928.

Mr. John A. Massen, City Hall, Chicago, Illinois:

My Dear Alderal\n — The preliminary report with
reference to elevated through highways for the Chi-
cago Metropolitan area, issued by the Committee of
the City Council, of which you are Chairman, shows
careful study of the subject and offers a promise
of relief from the costly enemy of progress — traf-
fic congestion.

We must have wider highways to carry the traf-
fic load of the main arteries leading into the large
cities of this State. It will take eight or ten of
these highways, leading out of Chicago in different
directions, to give the people of this State the ser-
vice to which they are entitled. Co-operation be-
tween the Federal, State and County governments
will provide these additional highway facilities, and
without a direct property tax.

Valuable as it is, the mere widening of streets
and highways will not give us rapid and uninter-
rupted vehicle movement. We must eliminate
grade crossings, and that means elevated highways
connecting the terminal districts of Chicago with
the principal highways of the State.

The rights of way of railroads entering into Chi-
cago offer a possibility for such a comprehensive
system of elevated arterial highways. Such high-
ways would utilize the present freight and
passenger depots and existing warehouses, and
would disturb no terminal facility, inconvenience
no industry, and involve none of the disagreeable
readjustments attending all widening projects. The
practicability of utilization of space over railroad
rights of way for elevated highways has been proven
by the construction of Park avenue over the New
York Central Railroad right of way in New York
City.

Any comprehensive system of elevated highways
constructed in this Metropolitan area becomes at
once a part of the national, state and county high-
way systems, and such a combination of govern-
mental agencies ought to be able to devise some
practical means of financing the project without a
, direct tax burden upon the people of our state and
without special assessments.

I shall follow the work of your committee with
great interest and shall be glad to co-operate with
you in carrying out this great program.

Sincerely yours,

(Signed) - Floyd E. Thompson.

Proposed Enactment of a Bill to Require Operators of

Referred to the Committee on Traffic Regulation and

Request for Support of the Chicago Schubert

Office of the Mayor,]
Chicago, November 15, 1928.]

proclamation

Where-As, In July, 1928, more than 500,000 dele-
gates from all parts of the globe made a pilgrimage
to the City of Vienna, the capital of the Government
of Austria, in order to do homage to the immortal
musical genius of Franz Schubert, whose unsur-
passed labor of love and undying art in the course
of time has become a highly cherished treasure of
all nations; and

Whereas, At the Schubert Centennial in Vienna
the City of Chicago was officially represented by more
than 1,000 of our fellow citizens, and the United
States by more than 6,000 representatives, who re-
solved that the Memory of Franz Schubert should be
honored in a fitting manner in their respective
municipalities; and

Whereas, The purpose of erecting a fitting memo-
rial to Franz Schubert, whose compositions and
musical achievements contributed so largely to the
art of music, appeals to Chicago's lovers of music;
and

Whereas. Chicago as a City, is second to none in
its musical attainments; and

Whereas, November 19th is the day on which in
every cultural center throughout the world, young
and old, rich and poor, will commemorate in a
solemn and impressive manner, the one hundredth
anniversary of Franz Schubert's much lamented and
early death, and thus set an example to, and pass
on to coming generations, the solemn precept of
their forbears to hold in high esteem the geniuses
and benefactors of the race who have contributed

and enricherl the cullui;il heritage of their people
and mankind; and

WiiminAS, A group of representative citizens of
the Cil,y of Chicago, under tin- leadership of "The
American A(hiiir(ti's of Cierman Art", and, in co-
()[)ei'ation with niiirierous other cultural organiza-
tions, have already organized "The Chicago Schubert
C(!nt(!nnial (>ommittee,"; and

Wjikhkas, The said Chicago Schubert Centennial
Corrunitfee lias made arangements for an impressive
Schubert Contenriial in thr; City of Chicago, begin-
ning, November 18th, at the lAuditorium Theatre, as
well as many of/her festivals, the locations of which
will be announced later in the daily press; and

Whereas, The said Chicago Schubert Centennial
Committee under the leadership of the American
Admirers of German Art, and in co-operation with
other cultural and civic organizations of the City of
Chicago, have resolved to bring about the erection
in the City of Chicago of a fitting monument to the
immortal genius of Franz Schubert; now, therefore,

I, Wm. Hale Thompson, Mayor of the City of Chi-
cago, do hereby respectfully recommend and sug-
gest that all citizens of Chicago render to f>he respec-
tive committees in charge of these anniversary cele-
brations that loyal support which so meritorious a
cause deserves.

In the Matter of the Attitude of Certain Gubernatorial
Candidates Concerning "Home Rule" over
Local Public Utilities.

The City Clerk presented the following communica-
tions, which were ordered placed on file:

Democratic State Central Committee,)
Chicago, November 1, 1928.)

City Council, City Hall, Chicago, Illinois:

Gentlemen — Replying to your resolution advise
that it is too late in the campaign to enter into a
full discussion of amendment of the public utility
law so as to return to the City Council the control
and regulation of public utilities within the city of
Chicago. This is a big subject and one that will re-
quire careful consideration.

No one appreciates more than I do the lack of
co-operation between the City Council and the Com-
merce Commission, and the great injustice that is
being done the people of your great city because of
this lack of co-operation.

I do pledge you now the appointment to the Com-
merce Commission of the biggest men in Illinois I
can draft for this service, and I pledge my personal
attention to the important work of this Commission.
The Commission appointed by me will co-operate
earnestly with the City Council of the City of Chi-
cago and will give to the people of your city ade-
quate public utility service at a reasonable rate.
The transportation problem is one of the big prob-
lems which will require the attention of the state
administration and the City Council, and in the solu-
tion of that problem you will have all the help I
can give you. The people of this city are entitled
to a transportation system that will convey them
from their homes to their places of business or
employment for one fare. Where the street-car
system cannot be immediately extended in newly de-
veloped territory, I, favor the use of feeder buses
to supplement the street car service. iMy administra-

In the Matter of Moneys Due the City of Chicago
from Cook County.

The City Clerk presented the following communica-
tion, which was referred to the Committee on Finance:

Department op Finance,]
Chicago, October 23, 1928.|

Hon. Mayor and Members of the City Council of the
City of Chicago:

Gentlemen — The Comptroller desires to call to
the attention of the City Council the fact that the
County of Cook owes to the Corporate and other
funds of the City the following items covered by
warrants for collection rendered up to October 1,
1928:

For the board and feed of prisoners for

years 1906 to date, as billed $2,445,401.42

For copying of birth, still birth and
death certificates up to September
20, 1919 51,746.20

Other miscellaneous charges credited
to the Corporate Fund of the City.. 42,174.53

Special Assessments 15,651.44

Unpaid water charges 153,125.65

Construction Division Capital Ac-
count 5,179.89

Restoration of Street Openings Capi-
tal Account 46.67

Total $2,713,325.80

The principal item, as will be noted, is that for
the board and feed of County prisoners.

In 1891 the City entered into an agreement with
Cook County in accordance with those sections of
the Statute of Illinois pertaining thereto,' namely,
Section 8 to Section 9 of Chapter 67. This contract
or agreement was for the period of one year and
expired in 1892.

Since then, the City has been accepting prisoners
from the various courts of Cook County and board-
ing and feeding such prisoners at the expense of
the Corporate Fund of the City and has secured no
reimbursement for such expense since 1906.

ing the City for the board and feed of such prisoners
as high as 75o to 80c p<!r day exclusive of any charge
for overhead expense, suoh as depreciation.

All of these warrants for collection for board and
feed of prisoners have been turned over to the ofYice
of the Corporation Counsel within from thirty to
sixty days after they have become delinquent and as
yet nothing has been collected on them.

Apparently, since the City has no agreement with
the County, the County may be able to use the
Statute of Limitations on all claims over five years
old, if it so sees fit.

The longer we delay in settling these claims the
more the County may be able to include under this
defense.

The County has numerous claims of more or less
doubtful value which they claim the City owes them.
However, the mere fact that they may have some
valid alleged claims against the City should not be
any reason for delaying the immediate settlement of
the whole question at the earliest possible moment.

For your further information, in all of the years
past the Comptroller has been including these claims
as possible resources against which appropriations
have been made year after year.

There is apparently no law that requires the City
to accept the County prisoners at the City's House of
Correction in the absence of an agreement to that
effect. The courts, how^ever, are sending suoh pris-
oners to the House of Correction as a matter of duty,
principally based upon a misapprehension as to the
existence of such an agreement betw'een the City
and the County.

If the courts were aware of the fact that no such
agreement exists, it would not be their duty to send
such prisoners to the House of Correction, but to
the County Jail.

The Comptroller with the foregoing in mind,
therefore, urges that the City Council take immed-
iate steps to cause the settlement of all outstanding
claims.

Second : To cause an agreement to be entered
into between the City and County, in case it is the
policy of the City to continue accepting County
prisoners at the House of Correction.

Third : To notify the courts of the fact that there
is no existing valid agreement between the City and
County covering this subject matter.

Fourth : To make sure in the future that the
City Corporate Fund will secure reimbursements
from the County for such expense, so that the deficit
caused by appropriating against such item of con-
tingent resource will be eliminated in the future.

Yours very truly,

Restriction of the City Council to tlie Passage of One
Appropriation Ordinance in Each Year.

The Committee on Finance submitted the following
report, which was, on motion of Alderman Clark, de-
ferred and ordered published:

Chicago, November 21, 1928.

To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Chicago
in City Council Assembled:

Your Committee on Finance, to whom was re-
ferred (October 31, 1928, page 3865) a resolution
restricting the City Council to the passage of but
one appropriation ordinance in each year, having
had the same under advisement, beg leave to report
and recommend the adoption of the resolution sub-
mitted herewith :

WHEREAS, The City Council has from time to time
attempted to establish a definite policy with respect
to the limitation of the time of making appropria-
tions, which intention the Council has been unable
to carry out for various reasons, among which is the
fact that no preliminary announcement was made so
that the various department heads and the public
in general could take notice of same; and.

Whereas, In order to effectively carry out the
policy agreed upon, which is undoubtedly for the
best interests of the city, it is necessary that the
policy of the City Council in relation to the city's
budget and appropriations should be definitely stated
in advance of the next fiscal year, so that it may be
established and made known to all the departm'ents
of the city government and to the citizens of Chi-
cago in general; therefore, be it

Resolved, That the City Council of the City of
Chicago hereby declares itself in favor of passing only
one appropriation ordinance for each fiscal year,
to be adopted on or before March 31st of each year
and to be known as the Annual Appropriation Bill
of the City of Chicago, in which all appropriations

for the entire fiscal year from all the established
funds of the City of Chicago shall be made; be it
further

Resolved, That no additional or supplemental ap-
propriations shall be made after the passage of the
Annual Appropriation Bill in any year unless there
is such an emergency as makes a further appro-
priation imperatively necessary; and be it further

Resolved, That the City Council hereby pledges it-
self to conform^ to and to carry out the policy ex-
pressed herein.

Respectfully submitted,

(Signed) John S. Clark,

Chairman.

Authority to City Treasurer to Pay Warrants Issued
against the General Corporate Fund Pending the
Sale of Tax Anticipation Warrants, Etc.

The Committee on Finance submitted the following
report, which was, on motion of Alderman Clark, de-
ferred and ordered published:

Chicago, November 21, 1928.

To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Chicago
in City Council Assembled:

Your Committee on Finance, to whom was re-
ferred a communication from the Corporation
Counsel in re honoring of warrants by the City
Treasurer against the General Corporate Fund, hav-
ing had the same under advisement, beg leave to re-
port and recommend the adoption of the following
resolution:

Whereas, There is not enough money available in
the general corporate fund to meet the city's needs
for pay-rolls and necessary expenses for the re-
mainder of the year 1928; and

Whereas, It will not be possible under the law to
secure additional loans from the surplus funds of
the City for such purposes for the current year, and
it is the sense of this body that it will not be ad-
visable or proper to make further efforts to secure
a loan for the purpose; therefore, be it

Resolved, That in order to make it possible to pay
the policemen, firemen and other city employes, and
to pay such necessary expenses as must be met, we
hereby request the City Treasurer to continue to
honor warrants drawn against lawful appropriations
for pay-rolls and such other necessary expenses as
may be forwarded to him in due form by the City
Comptroller, even though there is not enough money
in the general corporate fund available to pay them,
and to hold sucb warrants duly endorsed by the
payees as his security until he can be reimbursed
for the advances made by him in response to this
request, through the sale of tax anticipation war-
rants or otherwise; and be it further

Resolved, That we do hereby pledge ourselves to
take such action as may be necessary, and as soon
after the close of the current fiscal year as possible,
to provide a means of securing the necessary funds
to reimburse the City Treasurer for the advances
he will make in pursuance of the request contained
in this resolution.

Respectfully submitted,

(Signed) John S. Clark,

Chairman.

pavements than contractors in other cities are charg-
ing and w'hether the proper types of pavement are
being put in in Chicago; therefore, be it

grounds, Aviation and Athletics be and they are
hereby directed to make a thorough • investigation

Direction for Submission of a Plan for the Establish-

Alderman Crowe presented the following resolution:

Whereas, At every meeting of the City Council
Aldermen introduce ordinances prohibiting "park-
ing" in front of certain described premises, with the
result that many heavily developed territories near
the "loop" district are now practically covered with
"no parking" restrictions, a condition which leads
to much confusion as far as the general public is
concerned; and

Whereas, The 42nd Ward comprises such a dis-
trict by reason of its proximity to the "loop", and
at each meeting of the City Council it is necessary
to introduce many ordinances for "parking" restric-
tions to comply with the requests of merchants and
individuals; and

Whereas, The city has an engineer who devotes
his time exclusively to traffic problems, and is
equipped to make a survey of the districts in the
City of Chicago that are heavily developed with
hotels and like buildings, with a view to making
a recommendation for "no parking" restrictions in
these districts; therefore, be it

Resolved, That the Traffic Engineer in the employ
of the City of Chicago be and he is hereby directed
to make a study of "parking" restrictions and the
needs for same in the heavily developed sections
of the city, and to submit to the City Council a
plan for "no parking" that will apply to those
districts.

Unanimous consent was given to permit action on
said resolution without reference thereof to a com-
mittee.

Alderman Crowe moved to adopt said resolution.
The motion prevailed.

Aldcrm.in Tdinnii incsi'tilpd (lie fnllowing orders:
Crox I»a(«'ii( Coliiinii Co.: Driven nys.

Ordered, That llic Commissioner of Public Works

bo and he is horcby directed to issue a permit to
Crex l»atent Cohimu Co. to construct and maintain
two driveways across the sidewalk, 1 '» feet widr;. in
front of tlio premises iinowu as Nos. 'i.^29-''i533
Offden avenue; saiil permit to be issued and the

Willi (he ordinances of tiie City of Cliicago. frovern-
inp the construction and maintenance of driveways.

Proposed Enactment of I.eflishition (o Provide for the
Kxaminalion and Licenslnj; of .Hot or
Vehicle Drivers.

\\'iii:hf.\s. Due to the remarkably efficient service
of (lie ])oIice olTicers who direct traffic on our streets
and highways, the death rate from automobiles
would be ever so much greater than it is; and

\Vhere.\s, The only means to enforce safe driving
which the courts can use today are fines and im-
prisonment; and

\Vhere.\s. The reckless driver looks upon a fine as
an incidental expense in connection with running
his car. and after paying the fine he again proceeds
to violate the law; and

Whereas, Jail sentences would reduce the num-
ber of accidents, but a judge is naturally hesitant to
impose a jail sentence because it lowers a man's
position socially; and

Where.\s, The real solution of the problem of
automobile accidents is the enactment of a state law
providing for the examination and licensing of
motor vehicle drivers, inasmuch as revoking a
drivers license is the surest and quickest means of
eliminating from our streets and highways the reck-
less and intoxicated driver: therefore, be it

Ordered, That the Committee on .Judiciary and
Special Assessments be and it is hereby directed to
prepare and draft a proposed law which shall be
presented by this Council to the next session of the
Illinois General Assembly for enactment, providing
for the examination and licensing of motor vehicle
drivers in the Strife of Illinois which will aid our
courts in keeping the mentally and physically in-
competent driver off our streets and highw-ays, and
whereunder any person may be refused a license to
operate a motor vehicle in this state who. upon
examination, is found to be mentally or physically
unfit to safely operate a car.

Unanimous consent was given to permit action on
said orders without reference thereof to a committee.

Recommendation for Enactment of the "Certificate of
Title Lavv" Governing the Licensing of Motor
Vehicles, and the Adoption of the "Operator's
Permit" Requirement.

Alderman Clark presented the following resolution:

Whereas, It has come to the attention of the City
Council of the City of Chicago that a determined
etfort is being made to wite into the laws of the
State of Illinois a provision for the examination
and licensing of all automobile drivers as a life-
saving measure; and

Whereas, Through research and on the face of
vital statistics of the states having such a law, it
has been proved to the satisfaction of this body
that such a measure is, without doubt, a most im-
portant factor in the saving of lives in connection
with automotive operation, and tends as well to
appreciaibly lessen the number of motor-vehicle
accidents; and

Whereas, The proposed Driver's Permit require-
ment, where enacted into law in other states, is
almost invariably found to go hand in hand with
the Certificate of Title Law governing the owner-
ship and operation of motor vehicles; and

Whereas, Such a law puts a powerful weapon in
the hands of the police for removing from the high-
ways reckless and incompetent automobile drivers,
through the examination of driver-applicants, whose
licenses are made subject to suspension or revoca-
cation for violation of driving rules, and also fur-
nishes a positive check through requiring proof of
ownership of the vehicles, and registration of the
driver, against the theft and misuse of automobiles;
therefore be it

Resolved, That we, the members of the City Coun-
cil of the City of Chicago, duly elected and herein
convened on this fifth day of December, 1928, do
hereby heartily endorse such a law and respectfully
petition the Legislature of the State of Illinois, and
as forcefully as may be, to cause this measure to
be incorparted in the laws of the state; and be it
further

Rsolved, That we urge upon the Legislature that
a provision be witten into the law requiring every
person seeking a driver's license to be compelled to
show a Certificate of Title to his or her automobile,
or other motor-vehicle, or an afRddiyit from the
owner of said motor-vehicle permitting such appli-
cant for Driver's License to use the same before said
license is granted; and be it, further

Resolved, That we respectfully petition the Legis-
lature of the State of Illinois to incorporate within
the statutes provisions for the examination of new
drivers, and the suspension or revocation of licenses
after the holders thereof shall be adjudged guilty of
violating the motor-vehicle laws, and be it, further

Resolved, That the City Clerk be and he is hereby
instructed to transmit to the Governor of Illinois, the
Secretary of State and the individual members of
the Legislature copies of this resolution, duly signed
and attested.

Unanimous consent was given to permit action on
said resolution without reference thereof to a com-
mittee.

Proposed Limitation of Loads of Freight-carrying
Veliicles;

Direction for a Study of Street Pavements and Repairs.

Alderman Mills presented the following order, which
was ordered published and referred to the Committee
on Efficiency, Economy and Rehabilitation:

Whereas, Hundreds of miles of street pavements
have been laid within a comparatively short time at
enormous expense to the home-owners of the City;
and

Whereas, Millions of dollars are spent each year
in repair of pavements; and

Whereas, For more than six years an ordinance
of the City of Chicago has authorized the hauling
of loads of fifteen tons each; and

Whereas, Observation shows that such large
loads, especially when carried at a rapid rate, break
up many pavements even before they have been
paid for and as fast as repairs can be made, so that
the same streets are frequently repaired twice a
year, and are still a disgrace and a danger; and

Whereas, The Village of Oak Park by enforcing
the State law and without any ordinance limiting
loads, has kept practically all of its pavements in a
usable condition; therefore, be it

Ordered, That the Committee on Efficiency,
Economy and Rehabilitation be and it is hereby
authorized and directed to prepare an ordinance that
shall limit loads upon the streets of Chicago as much
as may be legally done under the laws of the State
of Illinois; and that said committee be and it is
further requested to confer with the engineers of
the Board of Local Improvements to the end that
specifications for pavements to be laid hereafter

shall provide for a concrete base adequate to sup-
port any load reasonably to be anticipated; and,
further that said Committee is hereby authorized
and requested to make a study to determine whether
it is not possible to make street repairs that shall
endure better than those made in recent years.

Legation of Poland,]
Washington, November 30, 1928.)

Honorable William Hale Thompson, Mayor of the City
of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois:

Honorable Sir — I have been instructed by His Ex-
cellency the President of the Republic of Poland to
express to you and to the City Council of the City
of Chicago his sincere thanks for sending him the
Resolutions adopted by the City Council of the City
of Chicago at a meeting held June 20th, 1928, which
extend an invitation to Captain Adam Kowalczyk to
make Chicago his landing place upon completion of
his intended aeroplane flight from Poland to the

Bringing the above to your knowledge, I wish to
assure you that Polish official circles are greatly
indebted for the interest which your City shows in
the projected flight of Capt. Kowalczyk, and they are
assisting him in his endeavors, > without however

I take this opportunity to express to you, Honor-

Estimates of Revenues and Expenditures for the
Year 1929.

The City Clerk presented the following communica-
tion, which was, together with the estimates submitted
therewith, referred to the Commitee on Finance:

Department op Finance,]
Chicago, December 7, 1928.j
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council:

Gentlemen— I submit herewith, in compliance
with Section 43 of The Chicago Municipal Code of
1922, Departmental and Comptroller's estimates for
the fiscal year 1929, together with a statement show-
ing the estimated resources available for the year
1929 from all sources.

There is also submitted herewith a statement of
the liabilities outstanding, upon which interest is to
be paid, and a statement showing the bonds and
city debts payable during the year 1929.

SUMMARY OP corporate FUND ESTIMATES.

Comptroller's Estimate of Appropria-
tions for 1929 $58,603,384.91

Comptroller's Estimate of Available '

Resources for 1929 $10,287,322.94

SUMMARY' OP VEHICLE TAX FUND

Comptrollei^'s Estimate of Appropria-

lions for 1929 $ 4,755,097.42

Comptroller's Estimate of Resources

for 1929 4,755,097.42

Financial conditions existing in the corporate pur-
poses fund of the city, the fund from which pay-
ments are made for all purposes, such as public
safety, public health, public works and the general
administrative expense of the city, present a con-
dition, to the fiscal authorities of the city, that is
extremely difficult to handle.

It will be noted that the Comptroller's estimates-
of appropriations for 1929 are $3,341,606.24 less
than the appropriations made by the Council for
1928.

The analysis of the statement of resources avail-
able for appropriations for 1929 definitely indicates
the reasons and necessity for this severe reduction,
when they are considered in conjunction with the
established administrative policy, which I am en-
deavoring to fulfill in every way possible, of limit-
ing expenditures to within the revenues.

Due to existing financial conditions, the Comptrol-
ler finds himself in the position of not being finan-
cially able to indicate truly the needs of the various
departments, such as Fire, Police, Health and the
Department of Gas and Electricity and others. He,
in fact, finds himself in the unenviable position of
having to merely allot available corporate resources
in a manner which he believes will cause the least
possible curtailment of services or damage to public
welfare, protection and works.

The Comptroller's estimate of resources is partly
based upon two major factors; namely, the assump-
tion that valuations in the aggregate will remain the
same for 1928 and 1929 as that established in the
quadrennial year, 1927.

The other factor of importance is the item of
loss and cost of collection of taxes. Even though
this item may indicate at the time final collections
are reported by the County Treasurer at the end of
1928, as high a percentage as sixteen per cent, the
Comptroller is justified, for appropriating purposes
only, in assuming that this loss and cost for 1927
will, some time during the year 1929, be reduced
by what is known as "adjustments on account of
taxes of former years collected in 1929," therefore
it is believed, from past experience, that a safe
figure, for estimating purposes, will be eleven per
cent for 1927 when we consider this item of adjust-
ments, and ten per cent for 1928 and 1929.

It is believed that the recent criticisms in regard
to taxation in the city of Chicago apply more to the
inequality of the individual assessments, rather than
to the aggregate of valuations. Even though there
is unusual uncertainty this year in connection with
the question as to what the valuations will be, there
does, however, appear to be some justification in
the assumption that the total of valuations for 1928
and 1929 will not be lower than those established
for 1927.

In regard to the Water Fund, the Comfitroller calls
the attention of the City Council to the necessity of
giving their immediate attention to the question of
providing a new and feasible plan of financing items
of construction and betterments, for the reason that
former methods can no longer be used and no further
funds may be expected from the sale of so-called
water certificates.

In regard to the Vehicle Tax Fund estimates, the
Comptroller advises that he has made no recom-
mendations regarding the individual items, as he
is cognizant of the fact that the City Council, in ac-
cordance with an order passed recently, evidently
contemplates the complete reorganization and a new
set-up in the 1929 appropriation bill for this fund.
Lack of time precludes the Comptroller from doing

/

December 12, 1928.

anything else but to show the set-up of depart-
mental estimates and a lump sum, to be distributed
by the City Council in accordance with their thoughts
on the matter.

The Comptroller also desires to remind the City
Council, at this time, that the statutory authority
for the present rate for taxation for corporate pur-
poses expires with the year 1929, and that what-
ever action the City Council sees fit to take in this
matter should be taken in sufficient time to permit
consideration of the question by the 1929 Legisla-
ture.

In conclusion, the City Comptroller desires to in-
form the various departments and the City Council
that he regrets exceedingly the impossibility, under
present conditions, of making larger allotments of
the city's resources in his recommendations for ap-
' propriations for such vital needs as Police, Fire,
Health, Public Works and the Department of Gas and
Electricity, and the reason is that there is no logic
in appropriating in excess of what is known will
be available for expenditure, as by so doing, it will
merely aggravate a serious existing condition. It
may be possible, if the city will function within the
limits of the assured resources of the city for a
year, that such action, even though it curtails vitally
important services, would undoubtedly place the
city upon a sounder financial basis for subsequent
years.

Respectfully submitted,

(Signed) George K. ScHMroT,

Comptroller.

Whereas, The real history of Chicago begins with

December 12, 1928.

NEW BUSINESS— BY WARDS.

4079

the coming of Jean Point DeSaible to "Eschicagou"
(now Chicago) in 1779 and there on the north bank
of the Chicago River, building a home and trading
point which formed the embroyo of the world's
greatest metropolis, a type of modern progressive
civilization; and

WHERE.AS, Point DeSaible had the foresight, the
courage, the capital and the ability to see the oppor-
tunities there for trade among the Indians and to
build the first home and business of Chicago, re-
maining there trapping and trading for «'.eventeen
years; and

Whereas, The cabin built by DeSaible and sold to
a Frencbman by the name of La Mai was unique,
historically. The French trader, after living there
for a few years, sold the cabin to a Scotchman, John
Kenzie, who enlarged and improved it for his family.
It was the dwelling not only for the first white
family in Chicago, but for many years was the only
dwelling for white men in the settlement of now
more than 3,000,000 people. The house was aban-
doned at the time of the bloody massacre of 1812
and remained vacant for four years. John Kenzie
returned and again occupied the home in 1816. Here
the first white child was born in the city of today,
and under the same roof became the first bride.
The first spelling classes held in Chicago were held
in this house by a thirteen year old teacher, having
six pupils. It is probable that the first Justice of
Peace lived here and the first Court in Chicago was
held under its roof; and

Whereas, There is no suitable memorial, monu-
ment or tablet to the memory of Chicago's first
settler; therefore be it

Resolved, That the City Council of Chicago ap-
proves the honoring of the member of Jf^an Point
De Saible and hereby requests consideration by the
Finance Committee to set aside twenty thousand
dollars ($20,000.00), or such portion thereof as may
be necessary, in the 1929 budget, for the purpose
of securing and erecting a suitable memorial, monu-
ment or tablet as expressed in this resolution.

Unanimous consent was- given to permit action on
said resolution without reference thereof to a com-
mittee.

Alderman Jackson moved to adopt said resolution.
The motion prevailed.

4084

JOURNAL— CITY COUNCIL.

December 12, 1928.

Whereas, No governmoatal service is of greater
impor Lance in the promotion of liealtW and the sup-
pression of disease than effective supervision of the
purity and wholesomeness of foods and tlie clean-
liness and sanitary condition of the surroundings in
wliich they are prepared and served; and

Whereas, The decisions of the courts with refer-
ence to the licensing of the sale of foods have placed
the city, in effect, in the incongruous position of
being able to license the sale of milk in bottles but
not in open containers in restaurants; the sale of
ice cream in ice cream parlors but not in lunch
rooms; and the sale of food in coffee houses but not
in tea rooms and other eating houses, thereby forcing
it to adopt other means of maintaining supervision
over the sale and consumption on the premises
where sold, of these commodities which other means
of control are costly to maintain, tedious and less
eifective; and

Whereas, Since the knowledge that the courts
have denied the power of the city to license res-
taurants has become widespread, divers persons
firm:s and corporations, in the belief that the City
has no supervision, have gone and are going into
that business, contracting leases, often in unsuitable
places, purchasing fixtures and otherwise incurring
expense, all without previous notice to the city and
subsequently are reported as being forced by the
City to expend additional sums of money to place
their establishments in proper condition for opera-
tion; and

Whereas, While the City has lost none of its
powers to make regulations for the promotion of
health and the suppression of disease, it is greatly
handicapped in the exercise of these powers and put
to expense and forced to out others to expense in
rectifying conditions whicli would not exist if ex-
pression to its powers could be had through suitable
licensing regulations; therefore, be it

Resolved. That the Corporation Cousel be and he
is hereby directed to prepare for submission to the
1929 session of the General Assembly of the State
01 Illinois, an amendment to the Cities and Villages
Act giving the City the power to license and regulate
restaurants and other eating houses.

Copy of an Address on "Transportation in Chicacfo",
By Hon. Patrick C. Lucey.

Alderman Massen presented the following copy of
an address by Honorable Patrick C. Lucey, former
member of the Illinois Commerce Commission, made
before the Western Society of Engineers on September
24, 1928' as reported at pages 565 to 572 of the Novem-
ber, 1928, issue of the Journal of the Western Society
of Engineers, which was ordered published and referred
to the Committee on Local Transportation:

TRANSPORTATION IN CHICAGO
By Hon. Patrick C. Lucey

In a municipality or in a community of this size,
of course some of the most outstanding questions
are the questions that must be answered relative to
these public utilities which supply people with the
great necessities of everyday life. The ones which
have been mentioned io you, gas, electric light, water,
telephone, and some others which were not discussed
tonight, you do not hear much of; the transporta-

tion problem, you are hearing much of, and there is
a reason for it.

Prior to a few years ago, all of the public utilities
were more or less in the public eye and in the
public discussion. The transportation question we
seem to have always with us, discussed but yet un-
solved, and I must confess that the reason for that
situation appears to me to be because the trans-
portation question, referring to the street car ques-
tion, has been unable to get itself divorced from
its political associations. The other companies and
the other utilities are not harassed by necessities of
continuing discussions and dealings with the political
authorities.

The reason for that is, perhaps, peculiar to the
street car business. In the old days it was so con-
sidered by the men who adopted the Constitution of
Illinois, who put into that Constitution a provision
that as far as street car systems were concerned,
they could not be constructed or operated without
the consent of the local authorities having charge
of the streets. That provision does not apply to
any other utility under the Constitution.

The old gentlemen who adopted the Constitution
of 1870 thought pretty well of their work and they
so constructed the Constitution, that, when adopted,
it was almost impossible to secure any amendment
to it. One of their requirements is that only one
amendment to any one Article of the Constitution
can be submitted at one time, and that can only be
submitted once every four years. That is, not often-
er than once in four years. So that there are so
many amendments necessary, or thought necessary
to tile Constitution, that every year in the Illinois
legislature, as soon as some gentleman proceeds to
present a motion for a Constitutional amendment
which will be submitted to the people at the next
election, which has to do with the election of mem-
bers of the General Assembly, somebody else presents
another amendment to another Article of the Con-
stitution, and perhaps somebody presents a third
one, and the result is that none of them pass.

The transportation problem, referring to the sur-
face line problem in this city, has never been able
to get away from its political associations for that
reason. The necessity of securing what was called
a franchise, not a franchise, because franchises come
from the state, but of securing that permission from
the municipal authorities to construct and operate,
resulted in the first applications being made to the
City Hall, and when I speak of the City Hall I
simply mean that as the institutional part of the
city which has to do with the permit necessary for
the constructions and operation of that utility.

Permit Limited to Twenty Years.

The franchises were limited by statute in Illinois
to twenty years. That was a regulatory provision.
It was thought at that time that requiring the com-
pany to come back to the city every twenty years
for a renewal of its license or franchise, so-called,
gave the city that opportunity to regulate the utility,
to wit, the street car line, regulate its service, and as
they thought, to regulate the rate of fare. That
brought the utility back every twenty years.

It brought it back before the twenty 'years, the
permit had to be renewed at the end of twenty years,
but it brought the company back before that period,
because the wise managers of those institutions
knew their securities had been issued against that
franchise, and they wanted to get a renewal before
the expiration of it, so that it kept that institution
in the turmoil of politics practically all the time.

JOURNAL— CITY COU.XCIL.

December 12, 1928.

The last grant of privileges to the present street
car company was made in' 1907 for twenty years,
expiring, as you know, in 1927. >'ow, since the" 1907
ordinance was passed, granting this so-called privi-
lege or license, the state of Illinois adopted a new
regulator\- measure and created what was known as
the Public Utilities Commission, which had to do
with all of the things which the city thought it had
a right to do. and some of which it had a right to
do, in the nature of regulating the service, the rate
of fare, and the other matters incident thereto of
the surface line railroads or street car lines. That
act was passed in 1913. taking effect in 1914.' and
since that time, the municipalities in this state have
had absolutely nothing to do. no power to regulate
the fare, the rate of return to the companies or even
the service which those companies should render
in any degree.

>'ow, it was time for the cities to reconcile that
condition of affairs. The city of Chicago has not
yet recognized that that is true, notwithstanding the
continued and frequent decisions of the Supreme
Court of our o-^ti state, supplemented by the deci-
sion of the Supreme Court of the United States.
The City Hall is still obsessed with the notion that
it has some power to regulate and control these
street car systems, and that is the reason that now
we are going through one of the periodic discussions
of a renewal of a franchise, over which the city has
absolutely no control whatever, limited only as it
is to givins: the original consent to the construction
of a street car line, and desisnafin? the streets on
which that line should be or might be constructed.

Cannot Agree on the Late.

It is thought by some that when that franchise
expired at the end of twenty years all the rights
of the company which v. ere in existence at that time
expired v.ith the franchise. That might have been
so. and I think was so. prior to the enactment of the
regulatory act of 1913. The statute limiting fran-
chises of street car companies to twenty years is still
on the statute books, unless the amendnient of 1913
took it off. which the street car companies think, but
which the City Hall does not admit. So we are in a
discussion apparently of a question where it seems
almost impossible that the minds of those discussing
the questions can meet on a common level.

In the last month we have seen in this city two
great business institutions down on LaSalle .street,
representing assets many times in excess of the
value of the transportation properties in this city,
decide to consolidate. After whatever discussion
wa.s held by their respective boards of directors,
lasting probably two or three or four sessions, the
announcement was made that those two great bank-
ing institutions were going to consolidate, and they
will be consolidated, and there are no discussions
about it. no arguments about it. but the fact is ac-
• complished, because it was handled as a business
proposition. The discussion of the street car ques-
tion in this city doe« not assume that phase, be-
cause handling it and dealing with it are men who
represent the public from fheir resnective wards
through election. They must go back to that public
to be re-elected; they do not know what the effect
of their votes will be. and they hesitate to take a
position. The result is that there are claims made
on the part of the muncipality against these proper-
ties which are simply unthinkable and cannot be
entertained.

Now, after a reasonable or an unreasonable longtli
of time these di.«cussions will wear Ihomselves out.
and somebody will finally get to a solution of the

problem, as was finally done in 1907, when one or
two men were designated with authoritv to sav ves
or no, and an ordinance was finally adopted.

Transportation Affects Everyone.

Even considering all these great utilities which
were discussed briefly this evening, there is perhaps
no other one which affects the business and the in-
terests of every citizen who comes into the business
district to work or into the factory district to work
or to trade or to shop or to travel, as the transpor-
tation question does. It has an influence on prop-
erty values in excess of the extension of the tele-
phone or even of the gas or electricity, at least the
equivalent to it.

The companies are endeavoring to secure, through
peaceful means and by agreement, the right and au-
thority to extend their transportation svstem
through this great metropolitan district, not limited
to the city of Chicago, because transnortation is no
longer a problem of the city of Chicago. It was dis-
cussed in one of the great magazines in this past
month — the transportation problem in the great cities
of this country — and Chicago was considered as em-
bracing at least eleven counties in the state of Illinois
and extending into Indiana and into Wisconsin, and
so it does. It is no longer a question of hauling pas-
sengers from Madison street out to Howard avenue.
These passengers who leave this city travel through
the extreme northern limit of the .suburbs to the
North, to the West and to the South. The people
coming in this city to trade, the woman coming
downto^^-n to shop, the man coming do^Ti to meet his
appointments or attend to business, must have ade-
quate transportation as rapid as is possible, in or-
der to accomplish that business.

On the part of the city and the gentlemen who are
representing the city in these discussions, and they
are honest in these representations, it is no question
on that score: they are endeavoring to secure for the
city the oii\-nership of these properties as a result of
the amortization of the total value of them over a
period of some forty or sixty years.

Voters Reject Municipal Ownership.

Now, every time municipal ownership and opera-
tion has been submitted to the public in this city
through referendum it has been turned down.
Municipal o\\-nership is not being secured by the
city paying for these properties. Tho city does not
expect to pay for them. It simply expects to own
them through the money paid from the contribu-
tions of the car riders. That is one of the problems
that is forming a stumbling block in the adjustment
of the transportation question. In these last twenty
years or twenty-two years there has been an ac-
cumulation of money which was simply the over-
flow from the rale of return which tho ovvmers and
security-holders were entitled to receive, and
another portion that was left over divided between
the city and the companies on the basis of 55/45%.
The city has accumulated in that fund and through
its earning a sum of money that now exceeds ?53.-
000.000. That is a contribution which has been
taken from the pockets of the men. women and
children who ride in these cars.

It was no part of tho rogulator>' law applying to
street car license, it wa.? never any part of it or any
consideration or any Uiought that the street car
rider should furnish the money to buy tho line. He
does not do it in any other property and he should
not be roquired to do it as to the street car prop-
erties. Bear in mind this does not apply lo any

other one of the utilities. It does not apply to
the elevated roads because they are organized under
the Railroad Act. It only applies to the street car
lines. That situation is intended to be continued so
that from the contributions, from the fractional parts
of cents, there will be absorbed into the treasury of
the city over a period of forty to sixty years enough
money to buy these properties, which the entire
city will own, but which the car rider pays for, and
in addition to that, the car rider wil pay the cost
of the construction of 'the subway unless and ex-
cept so much of it as may be paid by special assess-
ment.

Now, there are two or three or four cardinal
points which I will Just briefly refer to, so you
will get a bird's-eye view of this situation, and
which will give you, perhaps, a little better under-
standing of this situation than you may have at the
present time.

Lmvs Noiv Prevent Consolidation.

In order to carry out an adequate transportation
plan and secure rapid transportation to this great
metropolitan district, no't alone the city of Chicago,
account must be taken of the bus lines, of the sur-
face lines, of the elevated lines. If they are to be
consolidated into one system and made one operat-
ing company, it requires certain changes in the
fundamental law for the reason I have stated to
you. The street car lines are organized under the
general Incorporation Act, just the same as Marshall
Field and Company or any other mercantile business.
The elevated railroads are organized under the
Railroad Act, the same as the Santa Fe or the Illi-
nois Central or any other railroad.

Those two companies, under our law, cannot be
consolidated, because you cannot join together a com-
pany organized to do a mercantile business with a
company organized _to do a railroad business without
special legislation. The companies have stated that
they would require special legislation for 'that pur-
pose, and they tried to get it through the last legis-
lature. That is a pure inter-company matter. It
does not concern the city of Chicago or the City Hall
or any newspaper in the city of Chicago. What kind
of unification law should be passed at Springfield?
All that was asked was a law which would permit
these companies to consolidate, but the minute they
stepped in and asked for that kind of permission
from the legislature at Springfield, so nervous and
excitable and uncertain were the gentlemen who
were interested in the settlement of the traction
problem that it drew fire as though they were try-
ing to assume jurisdiction over something that they
had no control or no right to handle, a matter that
was the business of nobody except the stockholders
and officers of the two respective companies, drew
the fire of the press, drew the opposition of the
organizations and societies that were interested in
the solving of the transportation problem; and the
only argument given was that they were afraid one
of these corporation would take advantage of the
other.

I said to some of the gentlemen at Springfield, "If
the elevated lines can get anything away from this
active set of gentlemen organizing and managing the
surface lines, or if the surface lines can get any-
thing away from the present organization of the
elevated lines, I think either one of them is entitled
to get it if he can, and it is none of your business."
But we could not get that impressed upon them. They
thought they had to watch it, and the result of it
was they defeated that law, which, had it been
passed, would have permitted these companies to

have joined together and consolidated and removed
one-third of the opposition which exists over on
the corner at the present time.

Need Public Education.

With all due respect to the power of the press,
our distinguished friends from the great newspapers
took the view that they could not sit still and permit
this kind of consolidation to take effect. They had
to be sure that somebody was not going to be cheated
in the process. When one or two remedial laws were
broached we endeavored to teach some of them what
they meant, but we made no progress with it. Al-
though we were telling them the truth, they did
not believe us.

It reminds me of a story which I repeated to
some of my friends many times when we were dis-
cussing on the old Public Utility Commission what
we were going to do about one thing or another. At
thait time, when some of the utilities were struggling
trying to get relief, and the Commission was trying
to hold a hearing and intending to give them relief
if they made the proper showing — there was a good
deal of pressure against any kind of increase, al-
though the war was on, and everything else was
going up — a very strong political leader in this city,
now dead for many years, said to me one day, "Al-
ways tell them the truth. Never lie to one of them.
If you tell them the truth they won't believe you,
anyway." That is the situation which is in exist-
ence at the present time. Relative to these great
transportation systems that exist here, and they
are great systems, the surface lines are charging a
rate of fare of seven cents. They are one of the
best properties in this country — I hold no special
brief for the surface lines, but I have been into this
matter so deep, I know what it is — there is no bet-
ter street car system in the world than the street
car system which you have right here in the city of
Chicago'. It is in 100-per cent operating efficiency.
It is earning all the money which it needs to pay
operating expenses, to set aside a depreciation fund,
to keep its property in first class condition, to set
aside a fund to pay for damages and insurance, to
pay a rate of return to the security holders, and to
pay over and above all of that as it has paid in the
last twenty years, a sum of money which now
amounts to $53,000,000 which the city of Chicago
has possession of.

Value of Properties Impaired.

Yet at the present time the North and West side
lines in this city are in the hands of receivers and
the South side line is struggling to keep out of the
hands of receivers, and they are all in default for
the principal on their bonds. Their securities are
going begging on the market when they ought to be
at a premium, because the properties are worth
far in excess of the value of the securities issued
against them. That is the financial situation which
has arisen and is caused by the present condition
of affairs. The only reason for that is the political
fact that these transportation franchises have ex-
pired, and have not been renewed.

In order to consolidate, the companies must be
permitted to consolidate, and the bus lines and the
surface lines must be the feeders to the elevated
lines and the rapid transit line.

There are two points running through this old
question. One is the question of home rule. Reg-
ulations is now by a state commission under a state
law, and the City of Chicago and the newspapers and
the organization that take an interest in civic affairs
and the people who, take an interest in any body

4094

JOURNAL— CITY GOUNGIL.

else's affairs other than their own, and those who
are not busy, are talking home rule. Just what they
expect to be able to do to these properties witli a
local commission which they could not do through
the state commission I do not know.

There is a regulatory law there, and that law is
going to remain on the books. It is going to govern
tJhe operation of these properties. Back of the
regulatory commission are the state and federal
courts to see that the commission does full justice.
The elevated lines had to go into the federal courts
to get the relief which nobody, including the com-
mission, denied they were entitled to, but would not
give them.

Home Rule Asked.

What is going to be done through home rule
which cannot be done through the present com-
mission. I do not know. The companies do not
know. But we have said to the city, to the Board
of Aldermen. "Gentlemen, any kind of home rule
legislation which you can get we will welcome, and
will co-operate with you in getting." If the City
of Chicago wants a commission sitting in Chicago
and handling only this metropolitan district affair,
why, well and good. They do not need it as to
transportation. No commission ought to be created
wtbich will only handle the matters within the City
of Chicago alone, because the City of Chicago ex-
tends from the Indiana line to the Wisconsin line
and down to Joliet and out to Aurora, and not only
to the Indiana line, but out to South Bend, and
wherever that local line extends. This city is not
limited by its ward lines any more in transporta-
tion. It should not be so limited and it cannot be
limited, and no transportation district ought to be
created which does not recognize that fact.

They want home rule and we are with them on
it if they can get it. Whether the legislature will
give it to them or not, I do not know. They have
tried it with two special sessions of the General
Assembly and one regular, and they did not get
very far, and we were trying to help them in order
to get our own measures through.

Bearing in mind what I said a while ago, that the
old statute, which is in effect, limits street car
franchises to twenty years, the companies have
asked for an unlimited franchise as far as time is
concerned. That is the so-called indeterminate per-
mit, determined in one way, and that is by purchase
by the city if and when and by whatever means
possible it secures the money to purchase, other-
wise the franchise to continue indefinitely.

New Laws Needed.

You will easily recognize that needed a new law
to put it into effect. Somebody introduced the bill
in iSpringfield at a session before the last, about four
years ago, rather; threw it into the hopper one day.
It was called the Barr Bill, and was intended to try
out and educate the legislators on what an indeter-
minate permit was. He might as well have thrown
a firebrand in a powder factory, because the tur-
moil was started by those who understood w'hat an
indeterminate permit was and those who did not
know .anything about what an indeterminate permit
was and did not intend to find out, and it has not
ceased since that time. It has started a discussion
of some proposition which was vaguely interpreted
to mean that the street car companins were going
to take the City Hall and keep it. Tho indeterminate
permit was not granted.

Let me tell you what the indeterminate permit
is. It has been adopted in several states. In the
State of Wisconsin all a company does is just sur-
render its franchise. In the State of Indiana they
take tJhe franchise away from the company and
compel it to accept an indeterminate permit, whether
it wants it or whether it does not, reserving to the
city the right to purchase. It was thought to be
a hardship on the companies in the first instance,
but when it was thought over in Illinois, as to street
car companies, the companies decided that even at
the expense of surrendering their property for the
city to purchase if it had the money and the power
and the inclination and the ability, they would adopt
the indeterminate permit, because it would remove
this twenty-year limitation of franchises and ob-
viate the constant recurring trouble about renew-
ing them. It would remove the trouble which
the companies now 'have, and have had for ten years,
because after the expiration of the first half of the
franchise period, a, company is unable to borrow
money to make extensions and additions and better-
ments to its property, because the men who lend tho
money see that the time is approaching when that
franchise is going to expire, and they wonder
whether it is going to be renewed without the kind
of trouble which we are having at the present time.
So the limited franchise has resulted in this diffi-
culty which these companies are in now, with the
curtailment of their rights, with a suspension of
extensions and improvements and additions to the
property, with a depreciation of their securities to
a very low value, which should be at par or above.
The indeterminate permit, by taking that matter-
out of the question, and continuing their privilege
to use the streets indefinitely, and until purchased
by the city, would remove all of those difficulties
and remove the political question which now is
strangling the transportation question in the City
of Chicago, and preventing the settlement of it,
with the consequent damages to business, to in-
dustry, to property and to the ease and comifort
of travel in this great metropolitan district. That
will come.

Service Is Necessary.

Is there any man in the City of Chicago who
thinks that he wants the street oar services to stop?
Would they be permitted to stop if the companies
wanted to stop? They could not stop if they wanted
to, vA'hether they had a franchise or whether they
did not. If the City Council attempted to stop them
the Commerce Commission would compel them to
continue, and if they wanted to continue and the
City Council wanted them to stop, the courts would
compel the city by injunctional remedies not to in-
terfere with them, but to continue their operation
for the benefit of the people who needed their ser-
vices.

You are going to have street cars running in this
town as long as the public wants to use them; and
lhat, as far as any of us have the ability to see, is
long beyond our time. If that is so, what harm can
there be in granting the indeterminate permit, so
if the city, through amortization, wants to purchase
the property, as is the present intention, they may
purchase the property, and whether they operate
it or not is a question which the future will have
to determine, and we cannot do it now.

I have talked longer than the period of time our
chairman said 1 should talk, because an indefinite
period can be used up in talk on the subject, as
(leinonstTaled by tihese years gone by. 1\w inde-
terminate permit is no longer, apparently, tliai\ tho
indeterminate discussion on the permit.

NEW BUSINESS— BY WARDS.

The Question of Subways.

But before closing I want to mention one other
item which forms a part of this transportation
question, and that is the question of subways m
the City of Chicago. You heard some discussion
tonight which will indicate to you the difficulty of
Imilding subways in the City of Chicago. The
question is as to how they should be built and where,
through what streets, how long should they be
made— just a subway within the Loop district here
and the immediate block surrounding it? Should it
be the intention that street cars should run on the
elevated, on the surface and underground and then
up again and on, as they do in Boston, run on three
different levels? Should it be as it is in New York,
where there is a subway extending the full length
of the city, paid for by the corporations and new
ones now constructed by the city and leased to the
corporations, as also is the case in Philadelpihia and
others going to be built in New York? How, and
m what manner and what method should that sub-
way be built? Who should pay for it? The city
has no money to pay for it. The city is almost up
to its bonded limit now. It has, I guess, about $45,-
00'0,000 more leeway, perhaps a little more, secured
by the amendments of the last legislature, but what-
ever money the city needs for that purpose or has
for that purpose, it has many needs for. You heard
the engineer of the Water Department hoping that
he w^ould get some money to build extensions for
perhaps the most necessary article which we would
need in a congested city of thds kind — water.

City Is Not in Business.

A city like Chicago— I might digress a moment
to say — operates in a dual capacity, one is a gov-
ernmental capacity, under which the city carries
out its duties of a city to pass laws, to maintain
peace and public order and supply the city with water
and keep the city from being destroyed by fire, and
do all the other things that a city is required to do.
Another and different thing is the embarkation of
the city in a commercial business, such as a street
car business. That is not a governmental function.
That is a commercial function. It is no part of the
city's business to run street cars. It is no part of
the city's business to do anything except what is
specifically delegated to it by the legislature as a
governmental function, and when the city embarks in
a commercial business such as operating and run-
ning a street car system, it is on the same platform
and same standing as any other private company
•engaged in that kind of business.

The construction of subways for the purpose of
running street car lines in them is not a govern-
mental purpose. That is, some of us think it is not.
It w as 'held in the City of New York that the build-
ing of elevated railroad tracks in the city by the
•city was not a governmental function. It is thought
ty some of the city gentlemen here that a subway
is but a lower section of a street. Under that theory
it would be a governmental function, because one
of the duties, of course, of the city is to provide
and maintain the streets in passable condition. So
if it is so, and will be sustained as a general im-
provement, the subways may be constructed and
possibly some of the cost of them can be charged
as special benefits to special assessment. That has
never been determined in this state or in many
other states.

If that can be done here it will simplify it. If it
cannot be done here, there is only one other source
from which money can be had for the construction
of subw-ays; that would be through a constitutional
amendment to permit the city to issue bonds for

that purpose in excess of the present limitations,
or by using this traction fund and other accretions
to that fund in the years to come for the purpose
of paying for subways, and then renting them to
the transportation companies, and ultimately
amortizing the costs of the sub\vay out of the money
paid in by the traction riders.

Tlie benefit of subways to rapid transit would be
incalculable. This question does not consist alone of
putting together these transportation companies and
starting on a rapid transit system right away. That
is not the question here. You cannot hook up the
surface line and the elevated lines and load the
business from one onto the other, because they are
each within their respective fields carrying the limit
of their capacity during the rush hour.

In order to have rapid transit in this city there
must be ter.minal facilities in this down to\TO dis-
trict. There must be means of cars passing through
this district without the delays such as the delays
that exist now. In other words, there must he sub-
ways for the rapid transit lines. Otherwise, you
cannot have rapid transit in this municipality.
These things will have to come if this city is not to
be choked in the growth which these gentlemen
have recited to you that it has been enjoying in
years gone by. There are 70,000 or 75,000 additional
people registered in this city every year. It has
grown to a city of over 3,000,000 people. If these
outlying districts that are really part of the City
of Chicago are taken in, it would be a very, very
much larger district. That will come in time.

We must solve this problem in a safe and sane
manner, and it can only be solved by a study of the
question in an earnest endeavor to reach a solution
of it which will be just to the companies and will
protect all the rights of the city, or really the peo-
ple who use that transportation. I have hopes that
it will come, and then we will get our remedial
legislation which wuU permit the consolidation of
these properties, which will permit the grant of the
indeterminate permit with the rights of the city re-
served to purchase the property, either from an
amortization of the money which comes in from
the property, from the street car riders, or through
the issue of bonds, if they can get the constitutional
rights in the future, or in some other manner or
means which the future may hold in reserve, and
which we do not see now. But solved, it must be, be-
cause it is unthinkable that every . twenty years
there should be a recurrence of the destruction of
value, of the difficulties of reaching a solution of a
problem which is a pure business problem, and
which must be solved in a pure business way, with-
out any one taking or seeking or attempting to take
any advantage of the other. The solution of that
problem will give to the City of Chicago oppor-
tunities for expansion, will give the outlying dis-
tricts the transportation to which they are entitled
and wall give the rapid transit transportation w-hich
it should have. By the World's Fair or Exposition,
which is contemplated for 1933, if we were starting
on the subways now, we would have a large part
of them built, and that will come sometime.

In the Matter of the Construction of a Lake Front Air-
port, and the Purchase of Land at the
Municipal Airport.

Harbors, Wharves and Bridges; Parks, Playgrounds,
Aviation and Athletics; and Raillway Terminals:

Whereas, Tiie airport, and landing field facilities
furnished by the City of Chicago are insufficient to
meet the current requirements of the various
aviation interests which have located in the City of
Chicago and to meet the requirements of the cur-
rent transportation of persons, mail and commodities
by airplane to and from the City of Chicago; and

Whereas, The necessity for expanding the air-
port and landing field facilities in the City of Chi-
cago for the purpose of meeting the current and
future requirements of the rapidly expanding trans-
portation of persons, mail and commodities by air-
plane to and from the City of Chicago is urgent;

Now, therefore, in order that those who may be
interested may be definitely advised of the plans and
purposes of the City of Chicago with respect to the
aviation and aviation facilities;

Be it, and it is hereby, by the City Council of the
City of Chicago, resolved:

1. That a landing field adequate to meet the re-
quirements of aviation be constructed in that part
of Lake Michigan immediately east of the City of
Chicago which is known as Harbor District Num-
ber 3;

2. That such permit or permits from the War
Department as may be necessary in order that the
landing field aforesaid may be constructed be pro-
cured;

3. That the landing field aforesaid be constructed
by the agency or agencies most able to construct it
as soon and as rapidly as may be feasible and that,
in the event no other agency is more capable of so
constructing it than the City of Chicago, that then it
be constructed by the City of Chicago;

4. That the City of Chicago develop the present
Municipal Airport in such fashion that it will be
capable of the maximum use of which it may be
susceptible;

5. That -the City of Chicago acquire all of that
piece of real estate situated in the City of Chicago,
in the County of Cook, in the State of Illinois, more
particularly described as follows:

All of Section sixteen (16), Township thirty-
eight (38) North, Range thirteen (13), East of
the Third Principal Meridian, except the right of
way of the Chicago & Western Indiana Railroad
Company which runs east and west through the
said section at or near the east and west center
line of such section and except the tract or parcel
of land lying between the east line of 8outli
Linder avenue and the west line of South Central

street and the north line of West Sixty-first
street, taken and used for the Hale Grammar
School, comprising an aggregate acreage of six
hundred and thirty (630'j acres more or less

binder mixture used in the mixture for the binder
course shall be clean, broken, hard and durable, free
from foreign matter and so graded that all can pass
a ring of one and five-eighths (1%) inches inside
diameter and ninety (90) per cent thereof can be
held on a ring of one-fourth (%) inch inside
diameter.

Levigated stone shall be construed to mean, for
the purpose of this ordinance, levigated limestone,
other levigated stone equivalent to levigated lime-
stone for paving purposes, Portland cement or the
finely divided mineral matter self contained in the
refined native solid asphalt.

The refined asphalt used in making the asphalt
cement for the mixture for the binder course and
the mixture for the wearing course shall be obtained
from crude, native solid asphalt, except as herein
provided. If crude, native solid asphalt is used and
requires refining, it shall be heated to a temperature
of not over four hundred fifty (450) degrees Fahren-
heit until all water and light oils have been driven
off. At least ninety-eight and one-half (98%) per
cent of the bitumen contained in the said refined
asphalt which is soluble in carbon disulphide shall
be soluble in cold carbon tetra chloride.

The refined asphalt used in making said asphalt
cement may also be obtained by the straight re-
duction of asphaltic petroleum until the refined
asphalt has a consistency not softer than seven (7)
millimeters penetration and not harder than two and
one-half (2%) millimeters penetration, the pene-
tration being made with a No. 2 Needle, weighted
with one hundred (100) grams acting for five (5)
seconds on the material at a temperature of seventy-
seven (77) degrees Fahrenheit. Ninety-eight and
one-half (98%) per cent of the said refined asphalt,
so obtained, shall be soluble in cold carbon tetra
chloride. When fifty (50) grams of said refined
asphalt is heated in an uncovered tin box five and
one-half (5%) centimeters in diameter and three
and one-half (3%) centimeters in depth and is held
at a temperattire of three hundred twenty-five (325)
degrees Fahrenheit for five (5) hours, then it shall
have lost not over two (2) per cent by weight and
the penetration of the residue thus obtained shall
be not less' than one-half (1/2) of the penetration
before such heating, said penetration being deter-
mined as herein prescribed. The said refined asphalt
shall have a ductility of not less than sixty (60)
centimeters at five (5) millimeters penetration de-
termined as herein prescribed, said ductility being
determined by elongating a briquette, Dow form, of
said refined asphalt at a uniform rate of five (5)
centimeters per minute at a temperature of seventy-
seven (77) degrees Fahrenheit.

The flux used in making the asphalt cement shall

be the residuum obtained by the straight reduction
of crude petroleum, which flux shall be tested with
and found suitable to the refined asphalt to be used.
At least ninety-nine (99) per cent of said flux shall
be soluble in cold carbon tetra chloride. The flux
shall have a specific gravity of not less than ninety-
four one-hundredths (.94) and not more than one
and ten one-bundredths (1.10) at seventy-seven
(77) degrees Fahrenheit as compared' with water at
seventy-seven (77) degrees Fahrenheit, and when
tested in a Cleveland Open Cup Oil Tester, it shall
not fiash below a temperature of three hundred
eighty (380) degrees Fahrenheit; and when fifty
(50) grams of the said flux is heated in an uncovered
tin box five and one-half (51/2) centitaeters in
diameter and three and one-half (3%) centimeters
in depth and is held at a temperature of three hun-

dred twenty-five (325) degrees Fahrenheit for five

(5) hours, then it shall not have lost over three (3)
per cent by weight. The flux shall 'have a penetra-
tion of not less than thirty-five (35) millimeters, the
penetration being made with a No. 2 needle weighted
with fifty (50) grams acting for one (1) second, the
material being tested at seventy-seven (77) degrees
Fahrenheit.

The asphalt cement used in the binder course and
in the wearing course shall be made from one (i)
of said refined asphalts or from a mixture of any
two (2) of said refined asphalts and said flux, if
flux must be used, provided that the mixture of re-
fined asphalts shall contain equal parts of each of
the refined asphalts, and that the said asphalt
cement shall contain not less than sixty (60) per
cent by weight of refined asphalt or asphalts. The
said asphalt cement shall be made by mixing and
heating the said refined asphalt or asphalts and the
said flux in a kettle at a temperature not lower than
two hundred fifty (250) degrees Fahrenheit and not
higher than three hundred fifty (350) degrees
Fahrenheit. This mixture shall be thoroughly
agitated when hot by steam, air or mechanical means
until the said mixture has become homogeneous.
The said asphalt cement shall have a penetration,
determined as herein prescribed, of not less than
two and one-half (2%) millimeters and not more
than seven (7) millimeters. When fifty (50) grams
of said asphalt cement is heated in an uncovered
tin box five and one-half (5%) centimeters in
diameter and three and one-half (SVz) centimeters
in depth and is held at a temperature of three hun-
dred twenty-five (325) degrees Fahrenheit for five
(5) hours, then it shall have lost not more than
three (3) per cent by weight, ^and the penetration,
determined as herein prescribed, shall be not less
than one-half (%) of the penetration before such
heating. A briquette, Dow form, of the said asphalt
cement of the consistency as used in this improve-
ment shall have a ductility, determined as herein
prescribed, of not less than twenty (20) centimeters.

The mixture for the binder course shall be made
by heating and intimately mixing the said lime-
stone, or other stone, the said sand or the said lime-
stone screenings and the said asphalt cement. The
said mixture shall contain by weight five (5) per
ceiat of bitumen soluble in carbon disulphide;
twenty-five (25) per cent of said sand or said lime-
stone screenings and seventy (70) per cent of said
limestone, or other stone. The said mixture shall be
spread on the said concrete foundation, and while in
a hot and plastic condition shall be rolled to an
even surface with a self-propelled roller weighing
not less than ten (10) tons. The said binder course
after ultimate compression shall have a thickness of
two (2) inches, and the upper surface shall be
parallel with and one and one-half (1%) inches
below the upper surface of the finished pavement.

The mixture for the wearing course shall be made
by intimately mixing, while hot, the said sand, the
said asphalt cement and the said levigated stone.
The said sand and the said asphalt cement shall be
heated separately to a temperature of not less than
three hundred (300) degrees Fahrenheit, and the
said levigated stone shall be intimately mixed with
the said sand and then both shall be intimately
mixed with the said asphalt cement. The said mix-
ture shall contain, by weight, bitumen soluble in
carbon disulphide, eleven (11) per cent; said levi-
gated stone fourteen (14) per cent; said sand which
can pass an eighty (80) mesh sieve and cannot pass
a two hundred (200) mesh sieve twenty-five (25)
per cent; said sand which can pass a forty (40)

(40) mesh sieve, twelve (12) per cent; said sand
which can pass a four (4) mesh sieve and cannot
pass a ten (10) mesh sieve, two (2) per cent. The
said mixture shall be spread at a temperature of
not less than two hundred sixty (260) degrees
Fahrenheit to an even surface and to such a depth
that after ultimate compression, it shall have a
thickness of one and one-half (11/2) inches. The
wearing course, while still hot and plastic, shall be
rolled with a self-propelled roller weighing not less
than ten (10) tons. Natural hydraulic cement shall
then be spread over the wearing course in such
quantity that one (1) barrel of natural hydraulic
cement shall cover one thousand (1000) square
yards of said wearing course. The said wearing
eourse shall then be thoroughly compressed by roll-
ing with a self-propelled roller weighing not less
than ten (10) tons.

cement for the mixture for the binder course and the
mixture for the wearing course shall be obtained
from crude, native solid asphalt, except as herein
provided. If crude, native solid asphalt is used
and requires refining, it shall be heated to a tem-
perature of not over four hundred fifty (450) de-
grees Fahrenheit until all water and light oils have
been driven off. At least ninety-eight and "one-half
(98%) per cent of the bitumen contained in the
said refined asphalt which is soluble in carbon
disulphide shall be soluble in cold carbon tetra
chloride.

The refined asphalt used in making said asphalt
cement may also be obtained by the straight reduc-
tion of asphaltic petroleum until the refined as-
phalt has a consistency not softer than seven (7)
millimeters penetration and not harder than two
and one-half (2%) millimeters penetration, the
penetration being made with a No. 2 Needle, weighted

held at a temperature of three hundred twenty-five

(325) degrees Fahrenheit for five (5) hours, then
it shall have lost not over two (2) per cent by
weight and the penetration of the residue thus ob-
tained shall be not less than one-half (1/2) of the
penetration before such heating, said penetration
being determined as herein prescribed. The said
refined asphalt shall have a ductility of not less
than sixty (60) centimeters at five (5) millimeters
penetration determined as herein prescribed said
ductility being determined by elongating a briquette,
Dow form, of said refined asphalt at a uniform rate
of five (5) centimeters per minute at a temperature
of seventy-seven (77) degrees Fahrenheit.

The flux used in making the asphalt cement shall
be the residuum obtained by the straight reduction
of crude petroleum, which flux shall be tested with

used. At least ninety-nine (99) per cent of said
fiux shall be soluble in cold carbon tetra chloride.
The flux shall have a specific gravity of not less
than ninety-four one-hundredths (.94) and not
more than one and ten one-hundredths (1 10) at
seventy-seven (77) degrees Fahrenheit as com-
pared with water at seventy-seven (77) degrees
Fahrenheit, and when tested in a Cleveland Open
Cup Oil Tester, it shall not flash below a tempera-
ture of three hundred eighty (380) degrees Fah-
renheit and when fifty (50) grams of the said flux
IS heated in an uncovered tin box five and one-half
(5%) centimeters in diameter and three and one-
half (31/2) centimeters in depth and is held at a
temperature of three hundred twenty-five (325)
degrees Fahrenheit for five (5) hours, then it shall
not have lost over three (3) per cent by weight.
The flux shall have a penetration of not less than
thirty-five (35) millimeters, the penetration being
made with a No. 2 needle weighted with fifty (50)
grams acting for one (1) second, the material being
tested at seventy-seven (77) degrees Fahrenheit.

The asphalt cement used in the binder course and
in the wearing course shall be made from one (1)
of said refined asphalts or from a mixture of any
two (2) of said refined asphalts and said fiux, if flux
must be used, provided that the mi:!5:ture of refined
asphalts shall contain equal parts of each of the
refined asphalts, and that the said asphalt cement
shall contain not less than sixty (60^ per cent by
weight of refined asphalt or asphalts. The said
asphalt cement shall be made by mixing and heat-
ing the said refined asphalt or asphalts and the said
flux in a kettle at a temperature not lower than two
hundred fifty (250) degrees Fahrenheit and not
higher than three hundred fifty (350) degrees
Fahrenheit. This mixture shall be thoroughly

Alderman Clark moved to concur in said report.

No request being made by any two Aldermen present
to defer consideration of said report for fmal action
thereon until the next regular meeting, and the ques-
tion being put.

The motion prevailed.

The following is the resolution recommended for
publication in said report:

Whereas, Recent disclosures in the Press and by
the Special Grand Juries indicate criminal and
scandalous waste of public funds by the City of
Chicago and the Sanitary District; and

Whereas, Recent statements in the Press and in-
formation which is la matter of common knowledge
indicate that the City of Chicago, the Board of Edu-
cation, the County, and some of our too numerous
lesser governments, are spending money for the
operation of government, in excess of current
revenue; and

Whereas, These expenditures in excess of revenue
are resulting in an alarming accumulation of tem- ,
porary loans, some legal land some illegal; and

Whereas, The assessment of property by the
Board of Assessors and the Board of Review in 1927
was made in such a political and illegal manner
with such gross and rank favoritism that little more
than eighty per cent of the taxes extended upon this
assessment will be collected during the year; and

Whereas, Fundamentally most of our local gov-
ernmental financial difficulties arise from the
vicious practice of administering the function of
assessing property as an instrument of political
patronage; and

Whereas, The controlling factor in the unfavor-
able votes upon even desirable bond issues is the
common and widespread knowledge of notorious
favoritism in the assessment of property; and

Whereas, The assessment organization and the
assessment laws are wholly inadequate and anti-
quated, and are ideally constituted for political
manipulation for private gain; and

Whereas, The State Tax Commission has taken
official cognizance of these notoriously unequal and
illegal assessment conditions and has exercised the
power given it by law in ordering a systematic
appraisal of all real property and a uniform legal
re-assessment based therein; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By us, the citizens of Woodlawn, in a
community mass meeting called by the Associated
Clubs of Woodlawn, as follows :

(1) . That we demand that all local govern-
ments make all their records and particularly all
pay rolls accessible at all reasonable times to the
press, civic organizations and the public.

(2) That we endorse the principle that no
local government is ever justified in spending
money or in creating obligations in excess of its
legal income.

(3) . That we are opposed to any tax rate in-
creases for the City of Chicago, the Board of Edu-

cation or for any other local government or pur-
pose until there is a legal uniform assessment of
property; because the experience of this com-
munity in the past ten years shows that tax rate
increases do not proportionately or permanently
increase revenue, but pyramid the burden on the
over-assessed and multiply the political favoritism
conferred upon the under-iassessed.

(4) . We commend the State Tax Commission
for taking steps in the interest of the public, in
ordering the publication of assessments and in
ordering the appraisal and re-assessment of real
estate according to law.

(5) . That we demand that the Board of As-
sessors and the Board of Review promptly and
honestly carry out the order of the State Tax
Commission in appraising real property and in
uniformly assessing real property according to
value.

(6) . That the Governor-elect be requested to
so constitute and instruct his Tax Commission,
that the pressure in the public interest, which has
been inaugurated by the present Tax Commission,
be continued until the assessments in Cook
County are put upon a uniform, legal basis.

(7) . That we further call upon the Governor-
elect and the incoming Legislature, and par-
ticularly upon the members thereof from this
community, to exert their efforts in an intelligent
and vigorous manner to the end that the existing
decentralized and irresponsible assessment organi-
zation be abolished and a single assessor be sub-
stituted therefor, who will be clearly responsible
for whatever is or is not done.

(8) . That the officers of this meeting be in-
structed to forward copies of this resolution to
the Governor, to the members of the Legislature,
to the Board of Cook County Commissioners, to
the Mayor and City Council, to the Board of Edu-
cation, to the Trustees of the Sanitary District, to
the Board of Assessors, to the Board of Review,
and to the State's Attorney of Cook County.

Report Concerning Special Details of Police.

The Committee on Finance submitted the following
report:

Chicago, December 19, 1928.

To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Chicago
in City Council Assembled:

Your Committee on Finance, to whom was re-
ferred a communication from the Commissioner of
Police furnishing complete statistical information
as to details of police for special duty, having had
the same under advisement, beg leave to report and
recommend that said communication be published
and placed on file.

Respectfully submitted,

(Signed) John S. Clark,

Chairman.

Alderman Clark moved to concur in said report.
No request being made by any two Aldermen present
to defer consideration of said report for final action

thereon until the next regular meeting, and the ques-
tion being put.

The motion prevailed.

The following is the communication recommended
for publication in said report:

Office of the Commissioner of Polige,|
Chicago, December 15, 1928. |

The Honorable John S. Clark, Chairman, Finance
Committee, City of Chicago:

Dear Sir — Pursuant to an order introduced by
Alderman Arvey and passed by the City Council
November 21, 1928, "to furnish complete statistical
information as to details of police for special duty",
the following is submitted:

Considering the strength of the department, five
hundred and ninety (590) sergeants, four thousand
seven hundred and ninety (4,790) patrolmen, total-
ing five thousand, three hundred and eighty (5,380)
it is amazing to learn that so few of this number
are daily available for street duty.

Each day more than 14% or seven hundred and
sixty-nine (769) men are off duty.

Sick and injured officers average from one to two
hundred daily, according to the season of the year.

More than eight hundred and forty (840) men are
required for station duty.

Officers necessary for the following departmental
units require more than five hundred and eight
(508) men:

Commissioner,

First Deputy Commissioner,

Deputy Commissioners,

Records Section,

'Signal Section,

Medical Section,

Instruction Section,

Vehicle Section,

Pound Section,

Custodian,

Identification Section,

Motorcycle Section, i

Traffic District.

This leaves but slightly more than three
thousand two hundred (3,200), men for outside duty
(motorcycle, citizens dress, bureau squads and post
duty) to cover a territory of more than two hundred
and ten (210) square miles in three shifts.

Out -of this number must be taken all special
police details which still further seriously deplete
the man power in the department.

Only regular annual details are listed :

Automobile Show, 1 week, about 15 men daily.

Airplane Show, 1 week, about 10 men daily.

Baseball, American, National and minor leagues,
covering a period daily of six months. (Average 31
men daily).

Bicycle Races, 14 days, about 14 men each day.
Boxing Contests, weekly, about 15 men one day
per week.

Football — College — 7 games, about 70 men per
game; Professional — 10 games, about 15 men per
game; High School — 35 games, about' 5 men per
game.

Funerals, motorcycle escorts, daily, average 2 men
per day.

Hockey Games, about 25 games, about 7 men per
game.

Horse Show, 1 week, about 16 men daily.

Stock Show, 1 week, labout 70 men daily.

Swimming Races, 2 annually, about 20 men each
day.

Wrestling Contests, 6 days, about 15 men per day.

Almost too numerous to mention are made daily,
details to guard payrolls of business concerns, catch
holdup men in certain classes of stores, oil stations,
barns, etc.

Occasionally other police details are made in con-
nection with funerals, parades, visits in city of dis-
tinguished persons, elections, business men's cele-
brations, etc.

Endorsement of Appointment of a "Citizens' Traction
Settlement Committee", Etc.

The Committee on Local Transportation, to whom

had been referred (December 12, 1928, page 4083) a
resolution endorsing the action of Judge Wilkerson in
the appointment of a "Citizens' Traction Settlement
Committee", etc., submitted a report recommending
the adoption of said resolution as amended by said
committee.

Alderman McDonough moved to concur in said report
and to adopt said resolution as so amended.

No request being made by any two Aldermen present
to defer consideration of said report for final action
thereon until the next regular meeting, and the ques-
tion being put, the vote thereon was as follows:

Yeas— Coughlin, Jackson, Gronson, Grossman, Guern-
sey, Meyering, Govier, Rowan, Wilson, Hartnett, Mc-
Donough, byrne, Coyle, Ryan, Toman, Arvey, Sloan,

Chapman, T. J. Bowler, Crowe, Haffa, Loescher, Feigen-
butz, Nelson. Hoellen, Massen, Mose — 39.

Nays — None.

The following is said resolution as adopted:

Whereas, Hundreds of thousands of Chicago citi-
zens are daily inconvenienced and the growth and
development of our city seriously retarded by reason
of the fact that our transportation problem remains
unsolved; and

Whereas, The original license ordinances of the
several street car companies expired on February
1st, 1927, and since have been extended from time
to time and the North and West Side Surface Lines
are now in the hands of receivers and subject to
foreclosure in the United States District Court for
the Northern District of Illinois; and-

Whereas, Judge Wilkerson, presiding judge of said
District Court of the United States, recognizing that
a settlement of the question of a traction ordinance
must be had for the proper administration of the
properties, has, after conference with the Mayor and
members of the Local Transportation Committee of
this City Council, appointed a Citizens' Committee to
co-operate with the City Council, companies' rep-
resentatives, financiers, and all interested parties, to
the end that a speedy solution of the traction prob-
lem may be had; and

Whereas, It is understood that this Citizens' Gom-
miitce appointed by Judge Wilkerson will not re-
lieve the City Council of any of its responsibilities
or exercise any of the Council's powers or functions
but are to act as conciliators in the situation and
advisors to all interested parties; and

Whereas, Press reports indicate that some moni-
bers of the Citizens' Traction Settlement Committee
appointed by Jud.i^v^ Wilkerson are hesitating to ac-
cept siioli appointment williout definite knowledge
that their co-operation might be welcomed by the
City Council; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Mayor and the members of this
City Council in regular session assembled that we
do hereby heartily endorse the action of Judge Wil-
kerson in appointing said "Citizens' Traction Settle-
ment Committee" and that wo do hereby express
lo tiie members of said Citizens' Traction Settlement
Committee and others a hearty welcome in the work
towards a solution of our traction problem and our
sincere appreciation for all co-operation, suggestions
and other assistance that they may render in this
vitally important matter.

In the Matter of the Causes of Shortage in the Educa-
tional Flind of the Board of Education, Etc.

Alderman Mills presented the following resolution
which was ordered published and referred to the Com-
mittee on Finance:

Whereas, The City Council has directed the Mayor
ana the City Comptroller to issue additional tax an-
ticipation warrants on the request of the Board of
i^ducation to the extent of $4,500,000 ($2,000 000 on
December 5, 1928 for November salaries and -
500,000 on December 19. 1928, for Decernber sala-
ries,) drawn against the School Educational tax levy
for the year 1928, and to turn the same over to the
City Treasurer; and

Whereas, The City Council has authorized and
directed the City Treasurer to purchase from spe-
cified moneys other than the traction fund said ad-
ditional tax anticipation warrants in an amount not
to exceed $4,500,000; and

Whereas, The Board of Education by resolutions
duly adopted has authorized and directed the re-
purchase from the City of the said $4,500,000 tax
anticipation warrants with the first moneys to be
obtained by the Board from the sale of fax antici-
pation warrants against the 1929 tax levy of the
educational fund; and

Whereas, One reason for the shortage in the Edu-
cation fund for the months of November and De-
cember, 1928, is the increased loss and cost of col-
lection of the 1927 tax levy collectible in 1928; and

Whereas, This increased cost is the result of the
refusal of thousands of taxpayers to pay the taxes
on the 1927 assessment of real estate because that
assessment had not been on an equitable and uni-
form basis; and

Whereas, If the i928 re-assessment now under
way IS made on an equitable, uniform, legal basis,
the collection of the levies on that assessment should
not sustain the losses shown in the collection of the
levies against the 1927 assessment; now therefore
be it

Resolved, That the Board of Education be and it
hereby is requested to present to all its employes
the facts set forth in the preamble to this resolution,
to the end that the employes may understand that
the 1927 unequal, non-uniform assessment is respon-
sible for this shorl,age in the educational fund and
that the 1928 reassessment now under way is the
immediate remedy to which the City Council and
the Board of Education must look for relief, and that
this reassessment requires and should have the ful-
lest co-operation of the City Council, the Board of
Education and all employes of both the Board of
E(liif;i(i(in ;ni(1 llie Cilv Coniicil.

Direction for Submission of Proposed Enabling Legisla-
tion on Certain Traction Settlement Matters.

Aldermen Massen and Chapman presented the fol-

ferred to the Committee on Local Transportation:

Whereas, Under the statutes of the State of Illi-.
nois no settlement of the traction problem can be
effected except with the consent and approval of the
corporations involved and of the private interests
which will be affected thereby and the public in-
terest would be served if it were possible to compel
a settlement of the traction problem on a basis fair
to the public and to the private interests involved;
and ;

Whereas, No acceptable ordinance drafted with a
view of settling the traction problem seems possible
without the enactment of enabling legislation and
the meaning and effect of any such ordinance can
not be determined except after such enabling legis-
lation as may be required shall have been enacted;
and

Whereas, The General Assembly of the State of
Illinois will convene on January 9, 1929, and the
Governor-Elect appears to desire that it remain in
session no longer than absolutely necessary; now,

Therefore, To the end that such legislation as it
may be expedient to endeavor to procure with a
view of effecting a settlement of the traction prob-
lem may be ready for submission to the General
Assembly of the State of Illinois as soon after it
convenes as possible and that such proposed legis-
lation may be given unhurried and ample consider-
ation by the City Council;

Be it, and it is hereby, by the City Council of the
City of Chicago:

Resolved, That the Committee on Local Trans-
portation submit to the City Council drafts of pro-
posed legislation as follows:

1. Legislation which will enable any one of the
corporations operating street car lines in the City

lation of the provisions of the franchise ordinance
and at the option of the City of Chicago in the
event of nonuser or misuser and which will set
forth the terms and conditions upon which such

ditions including stipulations as to amortization,

operation of the elevated railroad lines and prop-
erties located in the Chicago metropolitan area
and of the street car lines and properties located
m the City of Chicago and of the motor coaches
operated over regular routes in the City of Chi-
cago constitutes a public use paramount and
superior to the public use involved in the
operation of such elevated railroad lines and
properties, such street car lines and properties
and such motor coaches separately, which will
empower any corporation authorized by the City
Council to construct street railway lines within
the City of Chicago to acquire the elevated rail-
road lines and properties aforesaid, the street car
lines and properties aforesaid and the motor
coaches aforesaid by the process of eminent
domain, and

9. Legislation which will create a local

vated railroad lines and properties located in the

Annual Appropriation Bill for the Year 1929.

ferred and ordered published:

expense from sundry funds for the year 19^9 be°s

Due to the inability of the Board of Education to

of^thT ri?f r ''"w ^^^^^ ^^'^^ the practice

ot the City Council to appropriate what is known

resnonsS i/^ ^'I^''^'^ ^'^^^ ^^'^^^ has been
responsible m a great measure for the deficits that
have occurred and for dissipating the corporate
fundus working capital. This has also created a con-
dition which made it almost impossible to meet
necessary obligations during the closing months o
the current year and the early monllis of the en-
suing year, thereby creating a situation which re-
sulted m many instances in higher prices and costs
of material and supplies due to a delay of months
before bills were paid. In an endeavor to place Ihe
nn^'l ' a sound basis, your Committee

on Pmance has ignored and eliminaLcd the three ppr
cent salvage method, and the budget as herewith
submitted is based only upon actual revenue.

, p"."^f^^, lo.make it absolutely certain that no
delicit shall exist at the expiration of the year 19^59
the City Council, on December 5, 1928 adonlcif-i'
resolution pledging itself to pass no supDlemmtal
apDrnpriations after the adoption of the annual ap-

propriation bill. All department and bureau heads
are hereby most earnestly requested, after the adop-
tion of the ordinance submitted herewith, to confine
their activities to the amounts appropriated so as to
prevent the necessity of future supplemental ap-
propriations or the necessity of a transfer during
the year and to so shape their programs of activity
as to give a fair and consistent distribution of service
throughout the year.

Your Committee on Finance, feeling the sentiment
now prevailing among the taxpayers of the City
toward continued increases in taxes and their de-
mands for retrenchment in expenditures by various
taxing bodies, has made drastic reductions in many
ot the departments and bureaus and has denied in-
creases to other departments, sucii as the Depart-
ments of Police and Fire, where undoubtedly in-
creases are necessary. We believe, however that
service need not be materially curtailed.

It is the sincere wish of the Committee on Finance
that all department and bureau heads and all per-
sons concerned will do their utmost during the com-
ing year -to conserve the City's finances whenever
and wherever possible, with the hope that when the
year shall have ended a substantial surplus will have
accumulated.

Your Committee on Finance recommends this or-
dinance for your careful consideration and adoption

by the City Council directing the Comptroller to sur-

A resolution empowering and directing the Comp-

certificates of forfeiture concerning Sub-Lot three
(3) of Lot fourteen (14) in Block fifty-seven (57)
in School Section Addition to Chicago, 16-39-14, to
Mrs. Florence Kostner:

Whereas, In conjunction with the local improve-
ment for the widening of Clinton street from Har-
rison street to Roosevelt road, and which was docket
No. 46327 in the County Court of Cook County, there
was assessed against the part not taken of Sub-Lot
three (3), Lot fourteen (14), Block fifty-seven (57)
in School Section Addition to Chicago, 16-39-14,
$3,510.36, and

Whereas, Said assessment being duly confirmed

said Sub-Lot was forfeited to the City of Chicago
for non-payment of said special assessments, and

Joseph Otto Kostner, and whereas, said Joseph Otto

ner died, and whereas, by reason of the fact that his
widow and heir at law, Florence Kostner, had no
notice of the pendency of said proceedings and
whereas, said parcels of real estate were not prop-
erly represented in court, and whereas, reductions
w-ere made on the assessments against practically all
other parcels of real estate assessed in said proceed-
mgs and no reductions were made as to the assess-
ments against any of the parcels owned by said Joseph
Utto Kostner, and whereas, the same percentage of re-
ductions granted lo other parcels of real estate would
have effected a reduction in the assessments against
the real estate of Joseph Otto Kostner amounting to
$4,043.01, and whereas, the County Court of Cook
has long since lost jurisdiction of the subject mat-
ter, and whereas, the amount assessed against the
City of Chicago as a public benefit in said proceed-
ings was $4,043.01 less than the amount which would
have been so assessed against the said City of Chi-

been applied to the real estate of Joseph Otto Kost-

powered and directed to surrender to Florence Kost-
ner, widow and heir at law of Joseph Otto Kostner,

The following is said ordinance as passed:

Whereas, On November 21, 1928 (Council Pro-
ceedings, page 3907), the Comptroller by communica-
tion dated October 23, 1928, called the attention of
the City Council to the fact that the County of Cook
owes the City of Chicago $2,713,325.80 and that $2,-
445,401.42 of this amount is for the boarding and
care of prisoners at the House of Correction, which
is an accumulation of unpaid bills for a number of
years; and this condition has been previously called
to the attention of the Board of Commissioners of
Cook County and to the Chief Justices of the various
Courts in Cook County; and

Whereas, In 1891, an agreement was entered into
between Cook County and the City of Chicago for one
year for the boarding and care of prisoners at the
House of Correction under the provisions of Sections
8 and 9 of Chapter LXVII dealing with Houses of
Correction, and no record is available of any subse-
quent contract; and

Whereas, In recent years it has been the practice
of the City of Chicago to bill the Federal Government.
Cook County and other local governing agencies for
the boarding and care of prisoners at the rate of
fifty cents per day, which amount is insufficient to
reimburse the City for the necessary expense in-
curred; and

W^hereas, On December 23, 1905; the Board of
Commissioners of Cook County provided an appro-
priation of $95,000,010 for the payment of an accu-
mulation of unpaid bills for the boarding and care
of prisoners at the House of Correction, but no bills
for such service have been paid by the County of
Cook since 1906, and

Whereas, The House of Correction is now in a
crowded condition, fifty per cent or more of its
population being County prisoners, placing an extra
burden upon the City for caring for such prisoners
for which the City is not obligated or under contract
to handle, and causing a drain upon the City of
Chicago's corporate finances; therefore.

Be it ordained by the City Council of the City of
Chicago:

Section 1. That the Board of Inspectors and the
Superintendent of the House of Correction be and
they are hereby authorized and directed to receive

no more prisoners committed to the House of Cor-

or misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment in the
County Jail, until such time as a suitable agreement
has been entered into between the City of Chicago
and the County of Cook covering the boarding and
care of such prisoners in the future and until pro-
vision is made for the settlement of the City of Chi-
cago bills against Cook County for the boarding and
care of prisoners.

cago for the purpose of meeting the current and
future requirements of the rapidly expanding
transportation of persons, mail and commodities
by airplane to and from the City of Chicago is urg-

OH tj

Ck)mmendation of the Ctommittee on Finance.

By unanimous consent Alderman Coughlin presented
the following resolution:

Where.\s, In presenting to the City Council the
budget for the year 1929, the Finance Committee
has, for the first time in the history of the City of
Chicago, recommended an ordinance which provides
for keeping expenditures within the anticipated
revenue: and

Where.\s. The 1929 Appropriation Ordinance, as
submitted by the Finance Committee, means a saving
of $4.500.00'0.00. as compared with the amount ap-
propriated in 1928; and

Whereas, This saving will result in a reduction in
taxes in the amount of five-cents of the corporate
fund rale; and

Whereas, Said Committee on Finance has suc-
ceeded in entirely wiping out a deficit of $3,000,-
000. 00; therefore, be it

Resolved, That the City Council hereby extends a
vote of appreciation and thanks to the members of
the Finance Committee for the splendid work they
have done in the preparation of the 1929 Appropria-
tion Ordinance.

Unanimous consent was given to permit action on
said resolution without reference thereof to a com-
mittee.

Alderman Coughlin moved to adopt said resolution.
The motion was carried unanimously.

Alderman Clark, by unanimous consent, thereupon
addressed the Council, expressing his thanks and the
thanks of the Committee on Finance to Honorable
William Hale Thompson, Mayor, for the co-operation
extended by him and by his department heads in the
preparation of the annual appropriation ordinance. He
further expressed his thanks to the members of his
committee and of the committee's staff and to the rep-
resentatives of the press for their aid and co-operation.
He stated that the appropriations are so far within the
estimated revenues, that an existing deficit of approxi-
mately $2,500,000.00 will be wiped out at the end of the
fiscal year, and that, in addition, for the first time in
ten years, the estimated salvage (estimated at $1,700,-
000.00 for the year 1929) had not been appropriated
against, and that consequently there would probably be
an actual surplus at the end of the year.

Alderman Guernsey stated that the Council had done
a fine piece of work; that there had been absolute
harmony among the members of the Committee on
Finance during the preparation of the appropriation
ordinance; and that the co-operation of the administra-
tion, including the department heads, had been 100%
perfect.

To the Honorable, the City Council of the City of
Chicago:

Gentlemen — I hereby veto an item of appro-

sum of $170,000.00 for gas lamp operation bearing
code designation 52-F-5.1 in the appropriations for

JOURNAL— CITY COUNCIL.

January 10, 1929.

the Department of Gas and Electricity appearing on
page 4289 of the Journal of the Proceedings of the
City Council of January 5, 1929.

My reason for said veto is that I am advised by
the Corporation Counsel that the condition attached
to said appropriation to the effect that the same
cannot be expended until further order of the City
Council renders the same void.

Inasmuch as the gas lamp operation intended to
be provided for is a necessary activity which your
honorable body would probably not want discon-
tinued I recommend that the action by which the
said item of appropriation was passed be recon-
sidered and that the appropriation be re-passed
without the condition attached thereto.

I also veto the item of appropriation for the sum
of $80,000.00 'for gasoline lamp operation appearing
in said appropriation bill on the same page bearing
code designation 52-F-52, for the reason that the
same condition is attached to this appropriation
which thereby also is rendered void.

I make the same recommendation for the recon-
sideration and repassage of this item for the reason
set forth herein with respect to the other item
vetoed herein.

Yours very truly,
(Signed) Wm. Hale Thompson,

Mayor.

Alderman Clark moved to refer said veto message to
the Committee on Finance.
The motion prevailed.

DEPAHTiVIENT OF LAW.

Proposed Referendum Voto on the Adoption of an Act
Providing for Excess Condemnation in and for
the City of Chicago.

The City Clerk presented tlio following cominunica-
lion, which was, together willi the ordinnnce trans-

mitted therewith, referred to the Committee on
Finance:

Department op Law,]
Chicago, January 8, 1929.|

To the Honorable the City Council of the City of
Chicago:

Gentlemen— At the last session of the General
Assembly, an Act was passed which authorized ex-
cess condemnation in the €ity of Chicago, provided
the act was adopted by the voters of the City at a
general or special election, in the manner set forth
therein.

Under the terms of said act the question of the
adoption of the act should have been submitted at
the election held November G, 1928, but this was not
done. The act, however, provides for a resubmis-
sion in case there has been no consent of the legal
voters, and we believe that the City Council has
the authority to call a special election for the pur-
pose of submitting the question of its adoption at
the forthcoming aldermanic election.

Inasmuch as the City Council is on record as
favoring excess condemnation, and as favoring the
adoption of the said act, we have deemed it proper
to prepare an ordinance calling a special election
for the purpose of submitting the question of the
adoption of said act for February 26, 1929, that
being the date of the aldermanic elections 'to be
held in the city.

We forward herewith two copies of the said ordi-
nance for the consideration of your honorable body.

Yours truly,
(Signed) Leon Horn stein.

Assistant Corporation Counsel.

In the Matter of the Tax Rate for the City of Qiicago.

The City Clerk presented the following communica-
tion, which was, together with the Bill transmitted

therewith, referred to the Committee on Finance:

Department op La\v,|
Chicago, January 10, 1929.J

To the Honorable the City Comicil of the City of
Chicago :

Gentlemen— Under the law as it now stands the
city's tax rate for general corporate purposes is
Jfl.12% nn each one hundred dollars of assessed
^aklatIon. Unless the General Assembly takes action
tins year such rate will be aufoinaticaily reduced to
92 Vo cents after the year 1929. This would mean a
reduction m revenue of eight million dollars a vear
in the City of Chicago from the fax rate.

This was explained Id Chairman John S Clark

tion Counsel Leon ITornslein. '|'h(> Chairman and

Your Committee on Finance, to w^hom were re-

mendations for the construction of water pipe dur-
ing the year 1929, having had the same under ad-
visement, beg leave to report and recommend the
passage of the order submitted herewith :

Whereas, The City has been laying water mains
and water supply pipe where property-owners pay
to the Citv the cost of laying the pipe, such pay-
ments to be refunded to the property-owners when
the annual revenue amounted to 6c per lineal foot,
and also bv the special assessment method where-
in 90% of the cost is refunded when the pipe
shows an annual revenue of 10c per lineal foot;
and

Whereas, The City has been laying water pipe
free of charge to property-owners where the pipe
shows an annual revenue of 6c per lineal foot or
where the property-owners are having a street
paved by special assessment or where pipe is
needed for fire protection purposes, circulation, or
feeder main and system betterments purpose; and

whereas, On account of the fact that to prop-

Office of the Mayor,]
Chicago, January 16, 1929.)

To the Honorable, the City Council of the City of
Chicago:

Gentlemen — I return herewith, without my ap-
proval, an order passed by your Honorable Body at

on page 4365 of the Journal of the Proceedings of

4370

JOURNAJ^CITY COUNCIL.

January 16, 1929.

I he City Council of said date, authorizing- the City
Comptroller to accept fihie bid of I. Stem in the
amount of $15,100.00, the same being the highest
and only bid opened in the City Council October
10, 1928, for the purchase of City property located
at iNo. lGi2 West Forty-seventh street.

I withhold my approval of the said order for the
reason that I am advised by the Law Department
and the City Real Estate Agent that when this prop-
erty was advertised for sale in 1922 the sum of
$20,015.00 was the high bid for same, and that on
June 29, 1922, the City Council ordered the said
bid rejected (page 711 of the Journal of the Proceed-
ings of the City Council of said datei for the reason
that it was not deemed advisable for the Citv to
dispose of this piece of propertv for so low a figure
as $20,015.00.

It is the opinion of the City Real Estate Agent
that it is not advisable for the City to dispose of this
piece of property at the price bid for same. I con-
cur in the opinion of the City Real Estate Agent,
and can see no good reason why the City should be
in any haste to dispose of this piece of property at
this time.

Yours respectfully,
(Signed) Wm. H.-vle Thompson,

Mayor.

Alderman Toman moved to reconsider the vote by
which said vetoed order was passed.

ities; (c) by reducing the number of deaths from
accidental drownings by regular instruction in
swimming given to all school children and by in-
struction in the technique of resuscitation; and (d)

CITY COMPTROLLEa

Report Concerning Moneys in the City's Traction Fund.

The City Clerk presented the following communica-
tion, which was ordered published and referred to the
Committee on Local Transportation:

Department of Finance,]
Chicago, January 17, 1929. |

Hon. Mayor and City Council, City of Chicago:

Gentlemen — ^Complying with an order passed by
the City Council on January 16, 1929, the Comptrol-
ler desires to report as follows :

Question No. 1 — The amount of cash in the
Traction Fund on deposit in banks.

The Traction Fund's proportion of the aggre-
gate cash on deposit in banks is (as of Januarv

11, 1929) $25,193,747.38

Question No. 2 — The name of said banks.

Since the Traction Fund, when it is deposited,
is and has been handled since its establishment
as a part of the aggregate of funds of the City,
it naturally is deposited in the banks in which
such aggregate funds are deposited, and as a
part of same. Therefore, the Comptroller's an-
swer to this question must be that the names
of said banks are indicated in Council Proceed-
ings of December 31, 1928, pages 4200 to 4202,
inclusive. This list gives the names of the
various banks in each of which portions of the
City's aggregate funds are deposited. (Attached
find copy of Council Proceedings Journal men-
tioned above.)

Question No. 3 — The amount in each bank
named.

Since the Traction Fund, when it is de-
posited in banks, is deposited as a part of the
City's aggregate funds, in accordance with es-
tablished custom and practice, it is impossible
for the City Comptroller to indicate the exact
amount of the Traction Fund deposited in each
bank. However, if the City Council so sees fit,
it may consider the amount of the Traction
Fund that is deposited in each bank as being
equivalent to that percentage which the total
Traction Fund cash on deposit bears to the
total aggregate of funds cash on deposit. The
Comptroller, however, does not request the City
Treasurer to deposit, the Traction Fund
separately, and will not until directed to do so
by the City Council. The Traction Fund Ac-
count, however, is kept entirely separate on the
hooks of the City and is credited i)i'op(>rly each
, month with the interest earned, oil her from

deposits or from investments.

January 21, 1929.

COMMUNICATIONS, ETC.

4409

Question No. 4 — ^The rate of interest paid by
each bank on such deposits, together with the
amount paid by each bank for each of the years
1927 and 1928.

The answer to this question will be bad by
referring the honorable City Council to the
Council Proceedings of December 31. 1928, pages
4198, 4199 and 4200, inclusive, which estab-
lishes the rates of interest paid by all of the
various banks in which the aggregate of funds
are deposited, both on the average daily balance,
thirty days, sixty days and ninety days, and the
■ rate of interest paid for the years 1927 and
1928 will be shown respectively in the Council
Proceedings for December 22, 1926, pages 4997
to 5000, inclusive, and the Council Proceedings
of December 28, 1927, pages 1576 to 1579, in-
clusive. (Attached find copies of Council Pro-
ceedings Journals mentioned above.)

Question No. 5 — The amount of said fund in-
vested in securities.

The Traction Fund's proportion of the total
investments of the aggregate of City Funds is
$28,843,735.40, which amount includes the
$5,278,000.00 ordered to be invested by the City
Council in City bonds.

Trusting that this answers thoroughly all questions
asked by the City Council, and also assuring the
City Council that the City Comptroller will at all
times endeavor to fulfill any order that the City
Council may give regarding this fund, I beg to
remain,

Yours very truly,

(Signed) George K. Schmidt,

Comptroller.

cess condemnation in and for the City of Chicago in
case the said Act was adopted by the legal voters of

therein, said Act being entitled "An Act to amend
'An Act to provide for the incorporation of cities and
villages', approved April 10, 1872, as amended, by
adding to Part Three of Article XII a new section
to be known as Section 9"; and

Whereas, Under the terms of said Act the ques-
tion of its adoption by the City of Chicago was to
be submitted to the legal voters of said City at the
first general election to be held in and for the en-
tire City after the passage of the said Act unless
the same shall have been submitted prior thereto
at a special election called for that purpose by the
City Council; and

Whereas, The said Act further provided that in
case the majority of the legal voters of the City of
Chicago voting on the adoption of the said Act at
such general or special election should fail to con-
sent to the adoption of said Act, then the City Coun-
cil of the City of Chicago should have authority, by
ordinance, to direct that the question of the adop-
tion of said Act should be again submitted to the
legal voters of said City at any general or special
election in and for the entire City to be held not

Act was held on NovemLer 6, 1928, and the legal
voters of said City at said election failed to consent
to the adoption of said Act; and

Whereas, There was no special election held for
the purpose of submitting the question of the adop-
tion of said Act, and by reason thereof the legal
voters of said City have up to the present time

posal.

The amount of garbage grease produced during
October, November and December totaled 544,870

corresponding period of 1927, a decrease of $27,-
298.68. Although the plant shows a decrease in
operating cost, the apparent high cost of $10.24 per
ton is due to the small amount of garbage received,
as the reduction plant requires a minimum of 5,000
tons per month to operate economically.

The undersigned, a minority of your Committee

Whereas, There is immediate and urgent need of
additional police officers in order that life and prop-
erty in the City of Chicago may be adequately pro-
tected; and

Whereas, The prospective revenues of the City
for the current year will permit an addition of one
thousand men to the police force, such addition to
be accomplished in such period of time as may be
determined by a comprehensive survey; therefore
it is

Ordered, That the Commissioner of Police be and
he is hereby directed to take steps at once for secur-
ing one thousand men competent physically and
mentally to become police officers of the City of
Chicago, and to employ them as soon as an ordi-
nance authorizing their employment and providing

City Council; and it is further

Ordered, That the Commissioner of Police shall
co-operate with the Commission now engaged in
making a survey of conditions with the object in
view of outlining a program for the enlargement of
the police force of the City of Chicago by additions
from time to time covering a period of four or five
years as may be deemed necessary and feasible.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES.

4537

Office op the Commissioner of Police,)
Chicago, January 30, 1929. J

Honorable Wm. Hale Thompson, Mayor, and Mem-
bers of the City Council:

Gentlemen — The recent widespread publicity in
our Cliicago newspapers regarding tlie shortage of
man-power in the Police Department, brought to
your attention by means of a resolution which was
referred to the Finance Committee for considera-
tion, and which committee, it is stated, will recom-
mend to your Honorable Body an increase in the
police force of 250- men on February 1st and 500
men on or before July 1, 1929, contingent upon the
necessary funds being available — prompts me to
again bring to your attention the absolute need of
materially increasing the police force immediately
to properly safeguard the City of Chicago.

Many letters have been received from outstanding
civic, improvement and business organizations, to-
gether with expressions from individuals repre-
senting practically every walk in life, supporting
this movement for more police. ,

Protection of the lives and property of the citizens
of Chicago, numbering more than three million peo-
ple, is paramount, and involves a solemn duty on
the Police Department. Our responsibility to the
people and the City Council is thoroughly appreci-
ated, and under the circumstances, it 'is felt neces-
sary to invite your attention to the insufficiency of
the provision that will be recommended by the Com-
mittee on Finance to your Honorable Body today.

The Committee's recommendation to add 250 pa-
trolmen to the force on February 1st, necessitates
deducting therefrom on account of a day off each
week, sickness, injuries, furloughs, etc., total 50
men, leaving for duty a remainder of but 200, wihich
divided by the number of wards — 50 — would allow
but four men per ward per day, and for three shifts
but 1 1/3 men per shift in each ward. Five hun-
dred more patrolmen added on July Ist will only
add 2 2/3 men per ward per shift.

This nuniber, as has been explained to the Sub-
committee of the Committee on Finance, and later
the Committee on Finance, is wholly inadequate to
properly protect the City.

The fact is deeply appreciated that the City Coun-
cil has a multitude of financial difficulties and
problems to meet. This fact is obvious to all of us.
but the fact still remains that no other department
of the Municipal Government needs men on the fir-
ing line more than the Police Department, and in
that line it is men that count.

The per capita ratio of 1922 is not a proper basis
on which the present day needs of the Department
may be determined. Regarding the immediate ad-
dition to the force of a large number of men, the
Department is thoroughly prepared to school 600
recruits a month.

The University of Chicago, the Northwestern
University, the Chicago Crime Commission, and the
American Institute of Criminal Law and Crim-
inology have been asked by the Department to make
a thorough survey of the needs of the Chicago po-
lice force in all its activities and to suggest changes
in the City ordinances relating to its organization.
Answers to this invitation have been received and
the survey will shortly be under way. By the time
2,000 men have been added to the force, it is ex-
pected that the survey will be completed.

In conclusion, it is again reiterated the urgent
necessity for immediate action on the Department's

request for 2,000 of the 5,400 men. This request is
not based upon mere guess-work, but is the result
of a careful analysis of the Department's needs.

Very sincerely yours,

(Signed) W. F. Russell,

Commissioner of Police.

less than the 1928 budget; and

Whereas, In the preparation of the 1929 budget,
the Committee on Finance refused to appropriate
"salvage", thereby assuring the elimination of an
annual deficit and providing in lieu thereof the as-
surance of a surplus; and

Whereas, The City Council not only adopted this
budget unanimously but also concurred unanimously
in the recommendation of the Committee on Finance
that the corporate tax rate be reduced from $1,125 to
$1,075 per $100.00 valuation; and

Whereas, The Committee on Finance of the City
Council is mindful of the fact and agrees that the
Police Department is in need of additional man
power and we are ready and do hereby pledge our-
selves to provide such additional man power, assum-
ing that the assessing bodies' report shows addi-
tional finances by reason of increased valuations
over those reported for 1927, that have been created
with the growth and development of the city, which
may be added to the estimated resources assumed by
the Committee on Finance in the preparation of the
1929 appropriation bill; and

Whekeas, In the year 1922, the ratio of patrol-
men was one to 480 population and the ratio at the
present time is one to 540 population and it is a mat-
ter of- general knowledge that the ratio prevailing in
1922 is the highest standard ever maintained by the
City, and, pending the conclusions of a scientific sur-
vey now in progress, an effort should be made to at-
tain the 1922 standard; therefore, be it

Resolved, That we recommend that the following
proposition be submitted to the City Council:

That provision shall be made for the employ-
ment of two hundred and fifty (250) additional
policemen after February 1, 1929, and five hun-
dred (500) on or before July 1, 1929, and that the
man power of the Police Department shall be in-
creased or decreased in the future so that the de-
partmental strength may be in keeping with the
needs of the city and in pace with the increase of
population;
and be it further

Resolved, That we also recommend that the Com-
missioner of Police cause a scientific survey to be
made of the efficiency of the Department of Police
and submit said report to the City Council.

The following is the letter from the Corporation
Counsel submitted with said report:

Office of the Corporation Counsel,!

Chicago, January 30, 1929.J

Hon. Guy Guernsey,

Chairman, Committee on Harbors, Wharves and
Bridges :

Dear Sir— The General Assembly, in the year 1927,
repealed what is known as the Harbor Act of 1921,
under which the City acquired certain rights to
lands and adjusted certain boundaries in connection
with the proposed Calumet Harbor. The bill by
which this was accomplished was hastily substituted
for a pending bill at the very close of the session,
when it was impossible to give it the attention it
should have had, and contained a provision for a tax
levy that was not in conformity with the wishes of
the City Council, and it probably went too far in re-
pealing the whole of the Act of 1921, thereby jeopar-
dizing certain rights which the City had acquired by
the Act of 1921.

In order to remedy this situation, and for the pur-
pose of providing for a harbor tax that will be in
addition to the maximum allowed by law for the
general corporate purposes, of the City, we have
drafted a bill in pursuance of the order of the City
Council passed December 12, 1928 (Council Journal,
page 4081), whereby the rights of the City with re-
spect to the lands acquired is restored and the tax
levy is placed outside of the general corporate levy.
We submit the draft of the bill herewith for your
approval.

We have been advised that it is the wish of the
City Council that the bill be so drafted that the tax
may be collected for the current year, and we have
so prepared the bill. We call particular attention
to the fact, however, that if this is to be done there
will have to be an appropriation made for the pur-
pose and an additional tax levy ordinance will have
to be passed, and that it is desirable that this should
be done within the first three months of the fiscal
year.

If the bill as drafted meets with your approval we
will have it introduced at once in its present form.

ir it is the desire of your Committee and of the City
Council to have the tax begin in the future instead
of in the current year all that will be necessary will

year 1929". We would be glad to get, a positive ex-
pression from the City Council in regard to this
matter.

your honorable body as stated to us by the Chair-
man of the Committee of Judiciary and Special As-
sessments, we forward herewith copies of Bills in-
troduced in the General Assembly, affecting the
municipality of Chicago, up to January 24, 1929.

It has been our practice heretofore to send such
bills as affected the city to the heads of the depart-
ments who were directly interested therem, but smce
it is now the desire of the Council that we should
send the Bills direct to the City Council, and since
we assume that they will be referred to such com-
mittees and heads of departments as have the mat-
ters directly in charge, we will discontmue our
practice of sending such bills to the heads of de-
partments and committees, since that would be only
a duplication of the service and could serve no use-
ful purpose.

The following Bills which in some way or other
affect the city have been introduced:

feurs of motor vehicles; also for examination of ap-

In the Matter of a Francliise Grant for the Establish-

announced that the Chicago milk dealers will be re-
quired to pay farmers $2.64 a hundred for their
milk, f. 0. b. country plant, instead of the prevailing
rate of $2.50- per hundred; and

Whereas, There is danger that such increase in
the wholesale price will result in an increase in the
retail price to the large number of milk consumers
in the City of Chicago; and

Whereas, The problem of milk distribution in
large cities is a difficult one, and the vast duplication
of milk delivery routes has caused a great deal of
waste and is one of the reasons for the high price
of milk when delivered to consumers in large cities;
and

Whereas, Economy in great business enterprises
and resulting lower prices to the consumers have
been achieved through a consolidation and concen-
tration of the distributive machinery; and

Whereas, It is extremely wasteful to have milk
delivered in the City of Chicago according to the
present system where half a dozen delivery teams
do the work whiich could equally well be performed
by a single agency; and

Whereas, The public authorities should aid , in
consolidating the many overlapping milk routes in
the City of Chicago, as a moans of eliminaMnfj: waste
in the delivery of milk to the consumer imder the
present system due to the large amount of duplication
and interweaving of routes; therefore, be it

Ordered, That the Committee on Judiciary and

February 4, 1929.

Special Assessments be and it is ihereby directed to
consider the feasibility of establishing a single milk-
distributing system under a grant of franchise or
franchises, or otherwise, under the terms; of which
the City Council would have absolute control over
profits and the power to determine and fix a reason-
able and fair charge for the services rendered, as
well as reserve to the City Council full and ample
power for a strict regulation of the milk industry
by compelling economies made possible through the
establishment of a single milk delivery system ac-
cording to zones or sections of the city, and to re-
port to this Council in the near future such pro-
posed laws, ordinances or orders as may be necessary
to put into effect such purpose.

Use of a Building as aa Undertaking Establishment.

Whereas, The present "daylight saving" ordi-

one hour on the last Sunday in April and retarded
on the last Sunday in September; and

Whereas, The spring season when gardening, golf-
ing, motoring, and other outdoor activities become
popular actually starts in Chicago the first part of
April; and

Whereas, The people of Chicago at referenda in
1920 and in 1926 approved "daylight saving" time

sentiment favors as long a "daylight saving" period
as consistent with seasonable conditions; therefore,

Gentlemen — I return herewith, without my ap-

JOURNAL— CITY COUNCIL.

February 18, 1929.

the meeting hold February 4, 1929, appearing on
page 4596 of the Journal of the Proceedings of the
City Council of that date, purporting to authorize
and direct the City Comptroller to accept the high
bid received September 26, 1928, in the amount of
$2,785.00, for the sale of property known as 3451
Cottage Grove avenue.

I withhold my approval of the said order for the
reason that I do not deem it wise for the City of
Chicago to sell this piece of property at this time
for so small a price. The record discloses that this
property was purchased by the City at a cost of
$5,000.00, and I believe it for the best interests of
the City not to dispose of this piece of property at
this time.

Yours respectfully,
(Signed) Wm. Hale Thompson,

Mayor.

Alderman Clark moved to reconsider the vote by
which said vetoed order was passed.
The motion prevailed.

Alderman Clark moved to re-refer said order to the

To the Honorable the City Council of the City of
Chicago:

Gentlemen — I transmit herewith a communica-
tion from the President of the Board of Lov. \ Im-

Board of Local Improvements,]
Chicago, February 15, 1929.|

Hon. William Hale Thompson, Ma\jor, and the City
Council of the City of Chicago, City Hall, Chicago,

Gentlem-en— My attention has been called to arti-«
cles appearing in the newspapers in reference to
street paving laid under the supervision of the Board
of Local Improvements. I think it is the duty of
the Board of Local Improvements to advise ' the
Mayor and City Council in matters of this kind and
particularly as to the policy of this Board.

This Department has at all times been ready to
aid any property-owner or any committee of prop-
erty-owners, or any committee from the City Coun-
cil, in a thorough investigation of the pavement on
any street, or on all streets, of the City. It has
always been possible for any Alderman, or any tax-
payer, who ihad fault to find with w^ork done on any
particular street to come to this Department and we
would send men to make the test in their presence
witlhout any expense to them.

There is no secret about street paving. The speci-
fications provide the way that the work should be
done, and the paving is there to be inspected. It is
easy to tap the street and find exactly what the
conditions are and this can and Avill be done in the '
presence of the taxpayer and his privately engaged
engineer when desired.

When His Honor, William Hale Thompson, was
elected to the 'high office of iMayor of Chicago for
the third time and he honored me with appointment
as President of the Board of Local Improvements
again, I realized that his opponents and enemie-^
would be ready and anxious to criticise and find
fauli.. I anticipated these criticisms and more than
a year and a half ago I called a meeting of all pav-
ing contractors doing work for the City of Ohicago.

At that meeting I told them very plainly that T
expected their oo-opei'ation in the matter of not only
price but absolute fulllllment of all specifications.
T pointed out to ('hem that during the four years
of the Dever administration the record showed they
had received a higher price for paving than during
the eight years prior thereto when t was President
of the Board of Local Improvements. That I had
made inquiries from (he engineers in the depart-
ment as to the reason for these increases in price

February 18, 1929.

COMMUNICATIONS, ETC.

4627

and lhad been informed that these increases were
due to the increase in wages and cost of material.

I told the contractors at that meeting in very plain
language that under no circumstances would they
be permitted to charge the property-owners more
for the different kinds of pavement used during the
Thompson administration than they had been al-
lowed under the Dever administration, which had
the support of the reformers of Chicago as well as
the press, and were never criticised. They may be
permitted to go below the Dever figure for paving
l3ut under no condition would they be allowed to
charge a penny above.

I reminded them that as business men they had
a great amount of money invested in equipment, and
■no matter how much influence they had if an inves-
tigation proved that they were skimping and failing
in any way to live up to the specifications, that I
would never permit t'hem to do any more work for
the Board of Local Improvements while I was Presi-
dent. The contractors at that meeting pledged their
loyalty to the department and assured me that they
would be ready at all times to have the Board of
Local Improvements not only inspect their work but
to tost it after completion by cutting holes wherever
it was suspected that work was defective, or any
taxpayer or body of citizens desired such a test.

They agreed that any contractor that attempted
skimping, or failed to co-operate with the Board of
Local Improvements, should be discredited and dis-
barred from doing any further work in Chicago.

Based on my long experience and close touch with
the work of the department, it is my opinion that
the City of Chicago is getting a better grade of
pavement in the past two years than it has at any
time in its history.

I hereby tender the services of this department
to any Council committee, any committee of prop-
erty o-^Tiers, or any newspaper to work with them
in any investigation that they desire to make with-
out any expense to them. I am just as anxious to
find out if there has been any skimping, or cheating,
of any kind in connection with any street paving
or other work done under the supervision of this
department as is any citizen, newspaper or the City
Council.

I pledge myself that if any investigation develops
that any skimping, or cheating, has been done under
this administration that the contractor or the in-
spector guilty of the sin will be disconnected and
•disassociated from this department.

Very respectfully,

''Signed) M. J. Faherty,

President.

Proposed Bills to Enable the City to Exchange the
Qarendon Beach Property for the Municipal
Airport Property,

The City Clerk presented the following communica-

therewith, referred to the Committee on Judiciary and
Special Assessments:

Dep.artment of law,]
Chicago, February 13, 1929.]'

To the Honorable, the City Council of the City of
Chicago:

Gentlemen — In pursuance of the directions of
your Honorable Body, we have prepared bills de-
signed to make it possible for the City to obtain title
to t'he land now occupied by I'he Municipal Airport
' in exchange for the Clarendon I^each property.

One of the bills prepared by us is in the form of
an amendment to the School Act, and is designed to
do away with the limitations imposed on the sale of
school lands. It is so drafted that it will apply only
in a case of this kind — otherwise the limitations
will remain.

The other bill amends the recently enacted statute
which permits municipalities to make transfers of
real estate without the formalities formerly re-
quired. This second bill may not be required, but
it clarifies a situation which is in some doubt, be-
cause it has been insisted that boards of education
are not included within the provisions of the Act.
This amendment specifically includes them.

We submit copies of the two proposed bills and
await the action of your Honorable Body before pre-
senting them to the Oeneral Assembly.

Yours truly,

In the Matter of a Pending Bill Providing for a
Gasoline Tax.

The City Clerk presented the following communica-
tion, which was ordered published and placed on file:

Department op Law,]
Chicago, February 18, 1929.]

To the Honorable, the City Council of the City of
Chicago:

Gentlemen — ^Some time ago your Honorable Body
passed a resolution declaring against the proposed
gasoline tax which is now receiving attention before
the General Assembly.

The experience of two years ago indicates that
the City of Chicago, without assistance from down

February 18, 1929.

state, will be unable to defeat a bill which provides
for a gasoline tax. It is possible, however, that such
a bill may be materially modified in case the City of
Chicago's representatives receive some assistance
from down state cities and villages.

This view was expressed by Mr. A. D. iMcLarty,
Secretary of the Illinois Municipal League, who for-
warded to the writer copy of a resolution which was
adopted by the Illinois Municipal League and 'has
since been approved by fifty-four Illinois cities and
villages. A copy of same is enclosed herewith.

The gist of this resolution is that it proposes the
division of the tax so that one-third of same should
go to the State, one-third to the counties and one-
third to the cities, villages and incoporated towns,
the distribution to be based on t)he motor vehicle
registrations within the municipalities as evidenced
by the records in the office of the Secretary of State.

We are submitting this matter for the considera-
tion of your Honorable Body. We do not wish to
be understood as making any recommendation con-
cerning the attitude to be taken with respect to
same. The question of the policy to be pursued is
one that lies solely within the province of your
Honorable Body. We have expressed no opinion on
the subject and we do not attempt to influence your
Honorable Body either for or against the attitude of
the Illinois Municipal League. We are awaiting
your instructions.

During the year 1928 the reduction plant received
arid disposed of 64,232 tons of garbage, as compared
with 104,240 tons during the previous year, a de-
crease of 40,008 tons, or 38 per cent.

The production of garbage gi'ease during the year
totaled 3,807,'63O pounds, as compared with 5,703,-
290 pounds for the year 1927, a decrease of 1,895,660
pounds, or 33 per cent. The decrease of 33 per
-cent in the amount of garbage grease produced, as
compared with the decrease of 38 per cent in the
amount of raw tonnage handled, sbows a net in-
crease of about 5 per cent in the recovery of gar-
bage grease, or greater efllciency in the extraction
plant.

The production of garbage tankage during the
year totaled 6,283.10 tons, as compared with 4,513.39
tons for the year 1927, an increase of 1,769.71 tons,
or 39 per cent. The increase of 39 per cent in the
amount of garbage tankage produced, notwithstand-
ing a corresponding decrease in the amount of gar-
bage received, indicates improved conditions in the
fertilizer industry.

The revenue derived by the City from the sale of
by-products vouahered from January 1 to December
31, 1928, totaled $252,030.59, as compared with a
total of $251,643.02 for the year 1927, showing an
increase of $387.57.

The net cost of operation of the Municipal Re-
duction Plant, including repairs and the disposal of
rubbish, for the year 1928 was $433,504.05, as com-
pared with $546,030.09 for the year 1927, a decrease
of $112,526.04. The net cost for 1928 figures $6.75
per ton, which includes approximately $1.00 per ton
for constructive repairs made from operating ap-
propriations.

During the past year 635 cars, containing 20,896
tons of dried garbage and refuse, were shipped from
tbe Municipal Reduction Plant to the quarries at
Riverdale and McCook, Illinois, for disposal.

During the year 1928 six direct heat dryers and
five percolating tanks were added to lihe equipment
of the plant at a cost of $41,489.11. These improve-
ments, together with the erection of new smoke
stacks, conveyors, dryer foundations and numerous
repairs made by plant mechanics and contract, have
increased the physical value of the reduction plant
at least $100,000.00.

The fact that the City Council during the past
eight years has authorized extraordinary improve-
ments to and provided for the maintenance of the
Municipal Reduction Plant will assure efficient and
sanitary disposal of 30 tons of pure garbage per hour
or 480 tons on two eight-hour sbifts per day for a
period of at least five years. The net cost per ton

TWENTY-THIRD WARD.

Alderman Toman presented the following resolution:

Whereas, There are pending before the Illinois
General Assembly at present in session at Spring-
field Senate Bill 85 and House Bill 122, imposing a
tax of three cents per gallon on gasoline purchased
by residents of the state for the operation of their
motor vehicles; and

Whereas, These proposed bills constitute an un-
warranted tax exaction and burden on automobile
owners in the State of Illinois and will have a ten-
dency to discourage the use of automobiles, inasmuch

as such motor vehicles are now taxed by the slate
according to weight and horsepower, and in many
cities by the imposition of so-called "wheel tax"
licenses; and '

Whereas, Statistics show that five states provide
for a five-cent tax per gallon on gasoline, namely,
Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, New Mexico and South
Carolina; that the state of Virginia provides for a
four and one-half-cent tax per gallon on gasoline;
that twelve states, consisting of Alabama, Arizona,
Georgia, Idaho, Maine, Maryland, Mississippi, Nevada,
New Hampshire, North Carolina, South Dakota and
West Virginia, provide for a four-cent tax per
gallon on gasoline; the state of Utah has a three and
one-half-cent tax; that fifteen states fix a three-cent
tax on each gallon of gasoline, namely, California,
Colorado, Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Mon-
tana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania. Ten-
nessee, Texas, Vermont and Wyoming; that twelve
states, including the District of Columbia provide
for a two-cent tax per gallon on gasoline, namely,
Connecticut. Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri,
Nebraska, New Jersey, North Dakota, Rhode Island,
Washington and Wisconsin; and that the states of
Illinois, Massachusetts and New York have no exist-
ing laws providing for the taxation of gasoline used
for the operation of motor vehicles; therefore, be it

Resolved, That the Illinois General Assembly be
and it is hereby requested to pass no law providing
for a tax on every gallon of gasoline sold for the
operation of motor vehicles in this state at a higher
rate than two cents per gallon; and, be it further

Resolved, That the General Assembly be and it is
hereby requested to provide in such law, if enacted,
fixing a tax of two cents on every gallon of gasoline
sold to consumers in this state for the operation of
their motor vehicles, for a referendum whereby the
voters of the State of Illinois will be given an oppor-
tunity to say whether this new form of taxation of
automobile owners throughout the state shall be
adopted.

Unanimous consent was given to permit action on
said resolution without reference thereof to a com-
mittee.

Alderman Toman moved to adopt said resolution.
The motion prevailed.

TWENTY-FOURTH WARD.

In the Matter of the Enactment of Legislation to Enable
the City to Operate on a Cash Basis, Etc.

Alderman Arvey presented the following resolution,
which was ordered published and referred to the Com-
mittee on Finance:

Whereas, One of the principal contributing faults
tending to cause excessive cost of government to the
taxpayers of the City of Chicago is the fact that
practically all taxing bodies finance their operations
on a credit basis instead of operating on a cash
basis; and

Whereas, This condition has caused an expense
to the Corporate Fund during the years 1920 to
1928, inclusive, of $10,173,854.00, which expense
represents the interest paid on money borrowed on
anticipation tax warrants for temporary loans; and

Whereas, If the City was not required, under
present existing laws, to finance its future cor-

porate operations in Lhis manner, iL would be pos-
sible Lo reduce the oost of City government to the
taxpayers to the extent of at least $60,000,000.00 for
the next forty years and more thereafter; and

Whereas, The City has ample unencumbered debt-
incurring power to make possible the placing of the
City on a cash basis, so as to save this amount of
money; and

Whereas, The fmancing for the payment of in-
terest and sinking funds for such bonds could be
provided by utilizing salvage of appropriations of
the year previous and the money saved by not being
required to pay interest on temporary loans and
anticipation tax warrants, for the reason that on the
basis of a forty-year bond issue, sinking fund re-
quirements will average approximately $1,000,000.00
per year, and, since salvage of appropriations will
possibly average, during the next forty years, $2,-
000,000.00 or more per annum, and interest require-
ments on temporary loans under present operating
conditions would be equal to $1,500,000.00 to $2,-
000,000.00 per year; and

Whereas, A forty-year bond, with the City's credit
behind it, can be sold on the market at an interest
rate of approximately 4 per cent, in comparison with
the present interest rate of 5% per cent on antici-
pation tax warrants, representing an additional sav-
ing of $600,000.00 to $700,000.00 per year; and

Whereas, If the City was on a cash basis and
could pay all of its bills promptly, it would cause
the City to become a very favorable customer,
thereby increasing its field of competition in the
purchase of all commodities and giving the City very
favorable prices, representing a possible saving of
$1,500,000.00 to over $2,000,000.00 a year in the
Corporate Fund alone, and, possibly, a much larger
sum in future years; and

Whereas, It is estimated that a bond issue of
$40,000,000.00 would be sufficient to put the City on
a cash basis; therefore, be it

Resolved, That it is the sense of the City Council
that the Corporation Counsel should be directed to
prepare a petition to the 1929 Legislature of the
State of Illinois, petitioning that laws be enacted
which will cover the following subject matter:

1. That it authorize the City of Chicago to issue
$40,000,000.00 in bonds, for the purpose of provid-
ing working capital so as to place the City Corporate
Fund on a cash basis, such bonds to be retired
within a period of forty years.

2. That a law be passed requiring the City Coun-
cil to limit all future appropriations for corporate
purposes to the estimated available resources which
may be certified to it jointly by the City Comptroller
and the Chairman of the Committee on Finance as
being available for appropriations for each year.

3. That the salvage of appropriations of each
year previous be appropriated during each following
year for the purpose of providing a sinking fund for
the retirement of the bonds authorized under such
law.

4. That such law shall contain the provision that
the City Council shall include in the Corporate Pur-
poses appropriation bill each year an amount sulli-
cient to pay the interest on such bonds, in lieu of
interest on tax warrants and temporary loans, and
that an appropriation sliall also bo made each year,
as part of tlie corporate purposes budget, for the
necessary sinking fund requirement to retire bonded
indebtedness authorized under this law.

Friedman and Sam Neidorf for rebates of water rates,

In the Matter of a Proposed Tax on the Sale of Gasoline.

Alderman Clark presented the following resolution:

Whereas, Approximately seventy-five per cent of
any gas tax legalized in the State of Illinois will
be paid by the people resident within the cities of
tihe State; and

Whereas, The State does not need two cents of
suoh gas tax to complete the Bond Issue System
within a reasonable time; and

Whereas, It is unfair to make abutting property-
owners in cities on State highway routes defray' the
expense of widening and reconstructing these streets,
which are prematurely worn out as a result of
state-wide traffic; and

Whereas, It is highly important, from the stand-
point of the convenient use of the State highway
system, that that system through cities be main-
tained up to a proper standard; and

WHEREAS, The automobile owners in the City of
Chicago are already paying a wheel tax, which is
equivalent to a 2 cents a gallon gas tax, and, if the
proposed Gas Tax Bill is passed in its present form,
will be paying the equivalent of a 5 cents per gal-

only approximately a 3 cent per gallon tax; and

Whereas, The City of Chicago is in dire need of
widened thoroughfares and separation of grade
crossings within its own borders, whioh, with a fair
and equitable distribution of the gas tax, could be
at least in part accomplislhed from the proceeds of
such a tax distribution; therefore be it

Resolved, That the City Council of the City of Chi-
cago hereby places itself on record as opposed to
the Gas Tax Bill now pending in the State Legisla-
ture, providing for a three-cent gas tax, for the
reasons that the cities of the State do not receive a
ifair proportion, under its terms, 'in comparison
with the amounts they will be forced to pay in the
event such Bill become a law; and be it further

Resolved, That every effort be exerted by the mem-
bers of this Council, the people of Chicago and their
representatives in the General Assembly to defeat
any Gas Tax Bill which leaves out of account the
just needs of the cities of the State of Illinois to
improve and properly maintain their streets; and
be it further

Resolved, That His Honor the Mayor be and he is
'hereby requested to appoint a committee of Alder-
men to appear before the gas tax hearing on Wed-
nesday, February 20th, in the Senate Chamber at
Springfield, to present the reasons why a fair dis-
tribution of the gas tax should be apportioned to the
City of Chicago; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of these resolutions be sent
to the Governor and the Chairmen of the House
Committees on Revenue and Roads and Bridges.

Unanimous consent was given to permit action on
said resolution without reference thereof to a com-
mittee.

Alderman Clark moved to adopt said resolution.
The motion prevailed.

Alderman Clark moved that the following matters be
published and placed on file:

Chicago Plan Commission,]
Chicago, February 18. 1929.j

Aid. John S. Clark, Chairman, Committee on Finance,
City Hall, Chicago:

Dear Alderman Clark — By direction of Chairman
James Simpson, I hand you herewith a copy of a
letter relative to the gas tax whiclh he has sent to
the Hon. Martin R. Carlson.

Very truly yours,

(Signed) Eugene S. Taylor,

Manager.

Chicago, February 17, 1929.

Hon. Martin R. Carlson, Senator, General Assemblg,
State of Ulinois, Springfield, III.:

Db;ar Sir — I have your letter of February 15lh rel-
ative to the gas tax Act. Already Chicago mnlorists
are paying the State the equivalent of a lax of 2
cents per gallon on every gallon of gasoline they use.

The State motor vehicle registration fee is from
$8.00 lo $20.00 a year for passenger cars and more
for commercial vehicles. Ten dollars jier vehicle is
a conscrvalivr average. The national average of
gasoline used pci' ycai' is HOO gallons of gasoline per

motor vehicle; hence a $10'.0a State registration fee
is equivalent to a 2-cent tax on every gallon of gaso-
line a motorist uses in a year's time.

The pending Act will make every Chicago motor-
ist pay the State the equivalent of a tax of five
cents on every gallon of gasoline used, yet the State
will not spend any of this money to improve Chi-
cago streets, where our motorists of necessity must
do most of their driving.

You state that under this Act $17,061,000 will be
spent during two years in road construction or road
widening in the Chicago metropolitan area. Such
roads, however, will not improve Chicago's street
facilities.

The present proposal of a" 3-cent tax is expected
to produce about $45,000,000 revenue in the next two
years. The Act provides that one-third of the
amount left after paying administration costs and
refunds shall be apportioned to the various counties
in proportion to the motor fees each paid during the
preceding year. One-third of these gas tax receipts
should amount to $15,000,000 for the two year period.
Cook County pays 40 per cent of the motor fees.
Forty per cent of $15.000',00O is $6,0O0,0€O, which is
the amount Cook County will get under the Act, not
$17,001,000 as you suggest.

I realize the Act empowers the State Department
of Public Works and Buildings to spend part of its
share of the gas tax for widening, inrproving and
reconstructing state aid routes 1 to 185 near large
centers of population, where this may be necessary
in the judgment of t^he department. Therefore
something more than $6,000,000 may be spent on
improving State aid roads in Cook County.

Experience is the only criterion by which we may
estimate the amount of this additional sum. What
has been our experience in connection with the
State's $100,000',00O bond issue road program? The
progi^am included about 370 miles of roads in Cook
County. Only 225 miles have been built; 145 miles
are unbuilt, and the State has no funds for their
construction, or for completing other unfinished
portions of the downstate road program. Therefor-3
the proposed gas tax.

The principal and interest of the highway bond
issues are paid out of the motor vehicle fees. Cook
County pays 40 per cent of these fees; Chicago pays
about 33 1/3 per cent. The principal and interest
of these bond issues will amount to a total of $247,-
000.000. Of this amount Cook County will pay 40
per cent, or about $98,000,000, of which $64,000,000
is principal and $34,000,000 is interest, and has re-
ceived about $0,750,000 worlh of roads, on the basis
of the forniier Governor's standard cost figure of
$30,000 per mile. Chicago will pay about $84,000,-
000 in principal and interest towards the cost of
building roads in Illinois, williout a single foot of
city street pavement having been built within its
borders by the Stale.

You say: "The theory of road conslruclion in this
State has been that the State shall build the I'oads
outside municipalities and that municipalities shall
look after llieir own streets." Possibly thai is the
theory, but the practice is that cities pay the entire
cost of their own streets and then contribute loward
Ihe cost of State roads. Chicago has borne approxi-
mately one-third the cost of every foot of i-oad built
in Illinois under the $160,000,000 bond issues. Cook
County has i)aid appro.ximialiOy 'lO ftei- ('(Mil of lli(>
cost of all these roads.

The |)endiiig Act should he aiiieiuled and libcn'al-

the money without tihc present restrictions as to
routes, widths, etc.; and in the second place to
specifically provide funds for street improvements
within municipalities. The State could exercise con-
trol sufficient to safeguard and assure the proper
expenditure of these funds, and might even restrict
the use of the money to the construction of super-
highways through cities that would be a continua-
tion of State routes.

Chicago, for instance, badly needs three or four
superhighways extending state routes through the
city from one side to another. One such route
should lead directly east-and-west through the heart
of the great West Side, serving as a city extension
Roosevelt road, Butterfield road, St. Charles road.
Lake street and the like.

A second route should serve the Northwest area,
such, for example, as the Avondale superhighway
recommended by the Chicago Plan Commission,
which would constitute a city extension of the
Northwest highway, Milwaukee avenue. Rand road,
Waukegan road and so forth. The third one should
extend through the Southwest Side of Chicago,
serving Aroher avenue and other State routes in
that area. The fourth one should extend directly
north-and-south through the heart of the South
Side, contacting the network of county, state and
national highways that converge at the southern
city limits of Chicago.

At present there is no direct, continuous and
adequate way for the traffic on all these state high-
ways to pass into and through Chicago. Superhigh-
ways that would give this through traffic a continu-
ous and unobstructed right of way through Chicago
should certainly be of enough direct benefit to the
State to warrant it in giving the city a proper pro-
portion of the gas tax money.

It should not be forgotten that there are thousands
upon thousands of vehicles in the City of Chicago
that never get outside the city limits, and never
drive thirty miles away from the loop, such as taxi-
cabs, delivery cars, trucks and commercial vehicles.
Take the multitude of grocery, meat market, bakery,
fiorist, clothing and other neighborhood shops, for
example. They must pay their proportion to con-
struct and maintain the streets of Chicago, which
is right and proper; but where is ibe equity in ma-
terially increasing their motor delivery costs in
order to build good roads downstate?

Then how about the great multitude of skilled
workers who use their cars primarily to get to and
from work here in Chicago. Will dowTistate roads
help them to get to and from their job? Why should
these people be taxed five cents on .every gallon of
gasoline they use, when not a penny of that tax will
be spent to improve the streets which they use vir-
tually all the time?

I am not opposed to a gas tax, but I am opposed
to the method of distribution proposed in the pend-
ing Act.

Chicago recognizes the value to it of good roads
downstate, but it has paid and will continue to pay
one-third the cost of the entire downstate good roads
system. The time has not come, however, when it is
right and proper that the State should return to
the cities of Illinois for the building of superhigh-
ways and the improvement of city streets a por-
tion of the gas tax money which this Act proposes
that the motorists shall pay the State.

Very truly yours,
(Signed) James Simpson,

Chairman.

Reasons for Distributing One-third of the Gas Tax
to Cities, Villages and Towns.

1. The people of municipalities will pay over
70% of any gas tax collected, and it is only fair that
at least 30% of it be usuable for the upkeep of city
streets. A minor portion of the tax at least should
be used in widening, reconstructing, and maintain-
ing city streets. It is unfair to require city people
to pay over two-thirds the cost of country highways
and to in addition keep- their owm city streets in good
repair.

2. The Governor has already recognized the
equity of the principle of distribution to local units
in recognizing the counties for one cent. We are
only asking that this equitable principle be applied
to cities, villages, and incorporated towns. If the
gasoline tax bill is to stand on the merits of justice
and fairness, the municipalities must also be rec-
ognized.

3. Municipalities are merely the agents of the
State for local purposes; and in passing a gas tax
the State should give prominent place to the street
widening and miaintenance needs of its municipali-
ties. They cannot be lightly left out of account
without seriously affecting the usefullness of the
entire State system of highways. To have smooth
country roads only to run into nest after nest of
chuckholes after entering the city limits, will re-
flect upon the good judgment of our legislators and
reputation for good roads and streets which we want
our State and our municipalities to have.

4. From the standpoint of economy of use, it is
more Important that existing routes through cities
be maintained up to a standard before the State
routes be extended to remote parts of the State
where the volume of use daily is only a small frac-
tion of what it is the cities. To build roads where
they will be out of use mo^t of the day is un-
economical and u-nbusinesslike when there are
streets working to capacity most of the time which
are in a disreputable state of repair.

5. Grade crossing eliminations. City streets not
only need widening and reconstructing, but vastly
expensive grade crossing eliminations are needed in
many towns. The cost of these eliminations is too
much to be borne by the local inhabitants; the need
for the elimination arises largely from nation and
state-wide, not from local traffic. The 1-ack of
eliminations are costing a large loss of life. Some
state-wide source of revenue should be used to take
care of these eliminations as soon as possible, and
the gas tax is one of the most equitable sources of
revenue for this purpose, as the cost is placed upon
the motor vehicle owner.

6. State highway routes through cities are be-
coming bottlenecks in cities. City streets on State
routes need to be widened. Without widening, ac-
cidents increase, economic waste through loss of
time is forced upon the motorist, and city policing
costs are forced higher and higher.

7. It is unfair to property-o\v^lers abutting on
state routes through cities to make them pay by
special assessment the cost of widening and recon-
structing these streets which have been prematurely
worn out by out of town traffic. If the State adopts
the policy that this burden should be thrown on
these abutting property-owners, it is certain that
property along many of these streets will depreciate
in value. A man will not be so inclined to buy a

I piece of property when he knows that such an un-
just burden has been unthinkingly thrust upon it,

Direction for the Construction of a Sewer in Certain
Territory.

Alderman T. J. Bowler presented the following reso-
lution:

Whereas, For the past fourteen years, the Board
of Local Improvements has endeavored time after
time to have passed an ordinance for the construc-
tion of a sewer in Berteau avenue, which is of vital
necessity to the health and well being of the people
residing in the west end of the 41st Ward; and

Whereas, In every instance these ordinances have
been defeated because the residents of the east part

of the ward as well as the residents of the 41st Ward
as a whole, feel that the tremendous cost of the pro-
posed sewer is over-burdening them with taxes when
they will receive little or no benefit from the im-
provement; and

Whereas, The Sanitary District of Chicago has
adopted a resolution for the construction of a sewer
running along and parallel to the Desplaines River
from the north branch of said river to West North
avenue; and

Whereas, In accordance with the terms of a reso-
lution introduced in. and passed bv, the City Council
December 12, 1928, by Alderman Thomas J. Bowler,
the Mayor appointed a committee, of which said
Alderman Thomas J. Bowler is chairman, to confer
with the Sanitary District in an effort to have this
proposed sewer extended into the west end of the
41st Ward, or to work out a plan whereby the City
may tap this sewer, to afford drainage to the west
end of the 41st Ward; and

Where.\s, If this plan was carried out it would
save the tax-payers approximately $1,500,000.00 in
special assessments, and would exact taxes only from
those property-owners directly benefited by the im-
provement; and

Where.\s, The engineers of the Sanitary District
have stated that they believe that this work can be
done legally, and that it makes no difference whether
the district is drained from the east or west end of
the ward, the cost being approximately the same;
therefore, be it

Resolved, That the Board of Local Improvements
be and it is hereby directed to immediately prepare
an ordinance for the construction of a sevver west-
ward from North Narragansett avenue up to the Des-
plaines River.

Unanimous consent was given to permit action on
said resolution without reference thereof to a com-
mittee.

Alderman T. J. Bowler moved to adopt said resolu-
tion.

DEPARTMENT OF LAW.

Supplementary Appropriation ($20,000.00) for Payment
of Rewards in Connection with the Crime Com-
mitted February 14, 1929, at No. 2122
N. Clark St.

The City Clerk presented the following communica-
tion:

Law Department,]
Chicago, February 27, 1929.J

To the Honorable, the City Council of the Citi/ of
Chicago:

GENTLEMiEN — Replying to your request for an
opinion as to whether the City Council has the pow-
er to offer a reward for information or services
leading to the arrest and conviction of the perpe-
trators of the murders committed at 2122 North
Clark street on February 14, 1929, we submit the
following:

The question involves two legal propositions —
first, as to the right of a municipality to offer a re-
ward or compensation for services or information
loading to the arrest and conviction of a person for
the violation of a state law, and, secondly, as to the
way in which the money is to be appropriated for
the payment of such reward.

First: While the general rule is that in the
ordinary commission of a crime in violation of a
state statute a municipality does not possess the
pow-er to offer a reward for the apprehension or
conviction of the person, or persons, committing
such crime, we believe that the extraordinary facts
and circumstances surrounding the commission of

the crime in question and the unusual elements en-
tering into the commission of the same take this
case out of the ordinary rule applying to a crime
committed solely against the state and vest in the
City of Chicago full legal authority to make an
appropriation of money to be expended as compen-
sation for services rendered and information ob-
tained in apprehending, prosecuting and convicting
the perpetrators of this crime. For the violation
of a city ordinance protecting its inhabitants the
city would have the unquestioned power to make
such an appropriation.

However, in addition to the protection which a
city gives to its inhabitants through formal ordi-
nances duly passed by the City Council, there is
vested in the city the power to protect and preserve
the safety and well-being of its inhabitants.

It is manifest that the appalling crime committed
on North Clark street on February 14th was a well-
organized assault by a band of outlaws upon and
against the security and safety of the people with-
in the corporate limits of the City of Chicago and
against and in defiance of the. orderly administra-
tion of the constituted authority of the municipal-
ity. In addition, therefore, to the wrong done to
the state, this organized invasion of the city by a
band of outlaws constitutes a menace and a real
danger to the peace, security and safety of the peo-
ple living within the limits of the City of Chicago
and a challenge and defiance to the authority and
dignity of the municipal government itself.

We believe, therefore, that the City of Chicago
has the power to offer compensation to those offer-
ing services or information leading to the arrest
and conviction of the perpetrators of this horrible
crime.

Second : As we understand, it is the thought of
the Committee on Finance to recommend for pas-
sage by your Honorable Body an ordinance au-
thorizing the sum of $20,000.00 to be spent from
the Contingent Fund of the Commissioner of Police
in securing information leading to the arrest and
conviction of the persons guilty of the crime in
question, and to provide in the said ordinance for
reimbursement of the said sum to the Contingent
Fund of the Commissioner of Police from the Cor-
porate Fund.

From our investigation we find that the annual,
appropriation ordinance in making an appropria-
tion to the Contingent Fund of the Commissioner
of Police was absolute in terms and contained no
reservation of control or supervision in the City
Council. This being so. we believe that an ordi-
nance at this time making any appropriation out of
this Contingent Fund as a reward for the appre-
hension of these criminals wothld constitute an at-
tempted amendment of the appropriation ordinance,
which is beyond the authority of the City Council
at this time.

However, we are informed by the Comptroller's
office that there are funds in the Miscellaneous Re-
ceipts (not otherwise appropriated and which are
not derived from annual taxes, sufficient to pay this
.$20,000.00' reward. This being so, there is no ob-
stacle in the way of the City Council passing an ad-
ditional or supplemental appropriation ordinance
making an appropriation of this $20,000.00 from
such Miscellaneous Receipts, as provided by Sec-
tion 2, Article VII of the Cities and Villages Act,
which is as follows:

"Provided, however, that in cities and villages
having a population of 100,000 or more, the city

murder of seven men; and

Where-^s, It is manifest that the appallin- crime
committed in the City of Chicago on Februarv 14
1929. at No. 2122 North Clark street was a well-or-
gamzed assault by a band of outlaws upon and
against the security and safety of the people witbin
the corporate limits of the Citv of Chicago and
against and m defiance of the orderlv adm^ini^tra-
tion of the constituted authoritv of the municipal-

Whereas, This organized invasion of the City by

of Chicago; now, therefore,

Be it ordained by the City Council of the City of

of such sum or sums of monev not to exceed the
total sum of 820.000.00 for services rendered to the
said Commissioner of Police in furnishins informa-
tion leading to the arrest and conviction of the per-
sons guilty of the crime committed in the Citv of
Chicago on February 15. 1929. at No. 2122 North
Clark street, resulting in the killing of seven men,
and the City Comptroller and the" Citv Treasurer
are hereby authorized and directed to pass for pay-
ment vouchers drawn against this appropriation
when properly approved by the Commissioner of
Police.

Section 2. This ordinance shall be in full force
and effect from and after its passage and api)roval.

sections of The Municipal Code which made it un-
law-ful for any person, firm or corporation to operate
motor buses as common carriers over a fixed route
without first having obtained a specific grant of
authority from the City Council to do so.

This case was started about five vears ago when
the complainant filed its bill seekinsr to enjoin the
City from enforcing the city ordinance, and asking
that it be declared invalid. The Motor Coach Com-
pany had obtained a certificate of convenience and
necessity from the Illinois Commerce Commi^^ion
and insisted that this was all that was necessary
to enable it to operate its buses on the streets of the
City. A temporary iajunction was s-ranted. The
City demurred to the bill of complaint'; and the Cir-
cuit Court sustained the demurrer and dismissed
the hill for want of equity. An appeal was prav^d
by the Motor Coach Company, and the Court, under
Rule 21 of the Practice Act. continued in forco the
temporary injunction until the case should be finally
dptermined by the Supreme Court. The case went
direct to the Supreme Court because tho validitv
of a municipal ordinance was involved, and the
iudge made the requisite certificate of importance.
The decision of the Supreme Court first announced
was made public early in the summer of 1928. and
this decision was adverse to the City. We petitioned
for a rehearing, however, and a rehearing was
granted, whereupon a new brief was filed by the
Motor Coach Company and we replied (0 it with a
brief. The decision just rendered is in favor of

the City, and settles many questions that have been
the subject of a great deal of litigation, and agita-
tion on the part of various interests involved.

The Supreme Court in deciding the case rendered
a lengthy opinion in which it stated that the ques-
tion for determination was the validity of Sections
2761 and 2762 of The Chicago Municipal Code of
1922. and that their validity depends first on whether,
under the laws of 'this State, cities have the power
to permit or deny the use of the streets to public
utilities, and, if so. whether the ordinance in ques-
tion is a reasonable exercise of that power.

The Court said that appellants contend, that in the
absence of and prior to any statute on the subject,
a public carrier of passengers had a permissive right
to use the streets for its business and therefore this
use was not unlawful. The Court ruled that while
the highways of the State are for the use of the
public, and all persons are vested with the right
to use them for travel from one place to another,
and to use them in connection with their business
when such use is incidental to the business, never-
theless, no person has an inherent or natural right
to make the street or highway his place of busi-
ness. It holds that such a use is generally character-
ized as an extraordinary use. and it is different from
the use which a citizen is entitled to make of a street
without the consent of any governmental authority.
The Court then goes on to say that it knows of no
constitutional provision whicti confers on a public
utility the right to use the streets without the con-
sent of the Legislature, or the delegated agency of
the Legislature. It is then said that the problem
from this point divides itself into three questions:

"(1^ AVhether the cities of this State prior to
the enactment of the Public Utilities Act had the
power to license or refuse to license motor bus
utilities: (2) if they had that power, whether it
has been taken away by the Public Utilities Act;
and f3^ assuming that the city has such power, is
the ordinance in this case nevertheless void as
incomplete or unreasonable."

The Court then refers to the charter of the City
of Chicago enacted in 1863. under which the City
is given power "to control and regulate the streets
and alleys, and to remove, and abate, any obstruc-
tions and encroachments therein." It holds that this
power is still in force, and that it is not in conflict
with and not repealed by any of the provisions of
Section 1 of Article V of the Cities and Villages Act.
The language of the Court seems to indicate that
the Court regards the Cities and Villages Act as
strengthening that power rather than detracting
from it. It then holds that under said powers the
City had the right to grant the use of streets under
certain conditions wh^n the use of the streets was
not inconsistent with the public objects for which
they are held in trust by the City. It further held
that, prior to the enactment of the Public Utilities
Act in 1913. the City had also power to regulate
the business of utilities conducted on streets.

Passing then to the second question, the Court
says that, while the power to regulate was taken
away from the City, the authority to make the initial
grant to a public utility, which desires to use the
streets for its private purposes, still inheres in the
City. The Court says:

"It is established in this State that under clause
9 of the Cities and Villages Act referred to, cities
may consent or decline to consent to use of their
streets of the character here involved. There
being no language in the Public Utilities Act ex-
pressly repealing that clause, it will be considered

repealed only in case there appear in said Act
provisions necessarily repugnant to and incon-
sistant with the power granted in Clause 9."

It then holds that no such repugnancy exists. The
Court then goes over various sections of the Public
Utilities Act, and quotes at length Section 55, which
provides for a certificate of public convenience and
necessity, and then draws the distinction between
the regulation that is authorized by the Public
Utilities Act and the granting of the privilege to
operate in the streets which is not controlled by
that Act. It then says:

"There is no provision of the Public Utilities
Act which either expressly or by necessary im-
plication repeals the provisions giving to cities
the power to regulate the use of streets. A cer-
tificate of convenience and necessity cannot be
said to be a license to a public utility to use the
streets."

The Court then says that it is urged that this
would result in dual control over the matter of the
use of streets, but denies that this will be the case,
and states that "no opinion of this Court, how-
ever, has held that power to regulate utilities nec-
essarily includes the power to permit or denv the
use of streets or that the two powers are incon-
sistent."

The Court further says that in the case of City of
Chicago vs. O'COnnell, 278 111. 591, it was held that
the Public Utilities Act did not, bv implication or
Otherwise, attempt to divest the State of its para-
mount authority in and control of the streets and
highways, and that the Act was therefore not in-
consistent with the requirement of the constitution
that consent of the City must be secured before the
streets can be used for street railway purposes.
The Court then applies the same rule with respect
to other utilities besides street railways. It says
that the City is responsible to its citizens, as well
as to the public, as trustee of the streets, and has
control so far as granting the right to use the streets,
beyond such use as the general public has the right
to make of them as public highways. It says,
among other things :

"Whether a public utility is to be given use of
the streets, and what streets it shall use, are mat-
ters which the City Council, by reason of its proxi-
mity to and knowledge of trafTic conditions, as
well as of the character, kind and cost of pave-
ment, is in a better position to determine than the
commission. This is true whether the utility is
to operate wholly within or partly within and
partly without the city. No reason appears why
the commission should not require that the utility
first secure the consent of the city to use the
streets on which it desires to conduct its utility
business. We are of the opinion that the Public
Utilities Act has not taken from the citv the
power to permit or deny the use of the streets by
a public utility."

As to the third contention that the ordinance is
unreasonable, the Court says that the ordinance pro-
hibits the use of the streets without the City's con-
sent. The conditions that may be named are not
before the Court. In case there is discriminatory
exercise of the power it would be unlawful, but no
such showing was made in this case. The Court
says, however, that a city is not required to grant
privileges to all public service corporations on the
same terms, or that it is bound to grant privileges
at all. It says that as regards unusual and ex-
traordinary privileges respecting public property,
the legislative authority may permit them for some

purposes or to some persons aiul withhold llie same
from others of the same chuss.

The Court also says that "I he City Council has a
right, in its discretion, to grant a license for tiie oc-
cupation of the streets without qualification or it
may impose a fee therefor." It fmally holds that
the ordinance is valid and affirms the decree of the
Circuit Court which sustains the demurrer to the
bill of complaint.

The reasoning of the Court in this case applies
to all public utilities which require the use of the
streets. It settles the question as to whether or
not the City Council has the right to grant or with-
hold privileges in the street, and draws the im-
portant distinction that we have always contended
for that the power of regulation vested in the Illi-
nois Commerce Commission does not mean that the
power of granting or withholding a privilege in the
use of the streets has been taken away from the City
Council.

LOCAL INDUSTRIES, STREETS AND ALLEYS.

In the Matter of the Fovvci- of the City of Chicago to
Compel the Relocation of Certain Supporting Col-
umns of the Chicago Rapid Transit Co.

The Committee on Local Industries, Streets and
Alleys submitted the following report:

Chicago, February 27, 1929.

To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Chicago
in City Council Assembled:

Your Committee on Local Industries, Streets and
Alleys, to whom was referred (February 4, 1929,
page 4583) an opinion in the matter of the power of
the City of Chicago to compel the relocation of cer-
tain supporting columns of the Chicago Rapid Tran-
sit Company, having had the same under advise-
ment, beg leave to report and recommend that said
opinion be published and place on file.

Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) Dennis A. Horan,

Chairman.

The following is the opinion recommended for pub-
lication in the foregoing report:

Department op Law,[
Chicago, January 27, 1929.J

To the Honorable, the City Council of the City of
Chicago:

Dear Sirs — We note that recently the City Council
passed the following order:

Ordered, That the Corporation Counsel be and
he is hereby directed to submit to the City Council
at its next regular meeting an opinion as to the
power of the City of Chicago to cause the Chicago
Rapid Transit Company to move girders (columns)
in North Western avenue under the tracics of the
Ravenswood Branch, back to the curb line; so
that said girders (columns) may not be an im-
pediment to traffic.

This opinion will not consider the question of
whether said girders constitute an impediment to
traffilc and as to when an impediment to traffic is a
nuisance, because both of these questions would in-
volve a discussion of the merits and demerits not
only of girders and columns, but of safety islands,
safety lanes and many other similar obstructions to
trafhc which exist in our public streets. These
questions are questions largely of fact which should
be decided by a court of law after an investigation
of all the facts and circumstances in each case.

If these columns at the present time are in fact
such an impediment to street traffic as to cause the
users of the street to be subjected to much danger
they would constitute a nuisance which should be
abated by the city through proper court proceedings.

When these columns were erected we will assume
lliey did not constitute a nuisance. Doamc vs. Lake
Street Elevated Railroad Company, 1G5 111. 510.
Changing modes of travel, however, and oth^jr
changes in the habits and customs of the public may
(•uuse such columns which were not nuisances when
erected, to become such.

Stern vs. International Railway Cnmpanij, et al.,
220 N. Y. 284, 115 N. E. 759. This was a case where
trolley poles were placed in the nu'ddlc oT the street

between two street car tracks, in the City of Buffalo,
New York. In 1912 a man was riding in an auto-
mobile and in attempting to pass a oar aliead of him,
the car collided with a trolley pole and he was killed.
His administratrix brought action for damages
against the City of Buffalo and the Railway Com-
pany, jointly. In discussing the question of nuisance
the court used the following language in the opinion:
"(3) The question is whether the place chosen
is so dangerous and the danger so needless that the
choice becomes unreasonable. If danger in that
degree is present, both the Railway Company and
the City are charged with liability. The railway
company is liable, because the poles are then a
nuisance. Lambert v. Westchester El. R. R. Co.,
supra; Cleveland v. Bangor Street Ry. Co., supra.
The city is liable because the nuisance is not
abated. iMcKim v. Philadelphia, supra; Ring v.
City of Cohoes, 77 N. Y. 83, 88, 33 Am. Rep. 574.

(4) The question, therefore, is whether there
is any evidence that in April, 1912, when the
accident occurred, the location of these poles was
dangerous, and that the danger was unreasonable,
when the road was first electrified in 1889, there
were, comparatively speaking, but few trolley
lines in this state. We may assume without de-
ciding that the choice of center poles, rather than
side poles, even though unwise, was, in those con-
ditions and at that time, an error of judgment and
no more. But in the years that have followed
conditions have changed. The use of trolleys has
become almost universal; the center poles have
been supplanted generally, though not everywhere,
by side poles, placed upon the sidewalk; the auto-
mobile has changed the ancient modes of travel,
and magnified the likelihood and dangers of col-
lision. Wo think the jury had the right to find
that with these changes the center poles have be-
come a menace to the traveler. That they were
a menace in other parts of Main street the com-
mon council had itself resolved. It announced
that judgment in 1909 and again in 1912. In each
year the railway company received the resolution
and obeyed it. We do not overlook the suggestion
that there was a difference of condition. Main
street at the points of change was narrower, it
is said, than at the scene of the collision. Its
width was 40 feet instead of 50. At the time of
the resolutions, however, an order had been made
to widen it. Evidently the center poles were still
felt to be a source of danger. There was also a
difference, it is said, in the character of the neigh-
borhood. One section was devoted to business;
the other in the main to residences. But even in
the residence section business had gained a foot-
hold. We think that conditions, even though not
identical, were similar to such an extent as to
make the change of some significance. But aside
from any admission implied in the defendant's
conduct, the very location of llie poles gives room
for conflicting inferences. Plainly, there was at
least some risk of accident; plainly, the risk was
needless, whatever its degree; plainly, therefore,
the inference of fault may be drawn unless the
risk was so remote or trilling that reasonable men
in the exercise of reasonable care, would not have
striven to avoid it. In the light of all the circum-
stances, we think that question was for the jury.
We have the express admission of the city. 3 years
before the accident, that in another section of the
same street the poles had become a danger to pub-
lic traffic. Wo iiave the railway's sul)mission to
the order, which found its justification in tlie
danger. Wigmore on Ev. iSoc. 282; Stevens v.

February 27, 1929.

Boston El. R. R. Co., 18 i Mass. 476, 478, 69 N. E.
338; C. & A. R. R. Co. v. Eaton, 194 111. 441, 62
N. E. 784, 88 Am. St. Rep. 161. We have the
general disuse of center poles in other cities, ex-
cept where grassplots or other spaces in the cen-
ter of the street serve to subdivide the highway.
And, finally, we have the growth in traffic during
20 years, the change in methods of locomotion, the
added chances and dangers of collision, and the
need, obvious without evidence, of freeing the
space between curb and curb from obstructions
which could be made without risk to serve their
purpose elsewhere. We place our judgment, not
on any of these circumstances singly, but on all
of them collectively. Their cumulative weight, we
think, makes possible the inference that the cen-
ter poles had become dangerous, and that the
danger was unreasonable. That the city had no
record in its claims department of any similar
collision is not decisive. It was none the less alive
to the danger. This is attested by the resolution
of its common council. Whether claims had been
made against the railway company, we do not
know. It gave no evidence on the subject, and
neither gains nor loses by its silence."

Further on the court says :

"(5) These poles were not a municipal im-
provement. They were not planned and placed by
the city. They were planned and placed by the
railway. If their location was dangerous, and the
danger was needless, they violated the implied
condition of the franchise, and were in the high-
way without right. They were no more a munici-
pal improvement than defective rails or slots.

(6, 7) The municipal improvement was the
street, which had long ago been opened. While
it remained open, the duty of the city was to see
that it was kept clear of dangerous and unneces-
sary obstructions which with reasonable care could
be discovered and avoided. Error of judgment
. alone does not carry liability with it, for error
of judgment alone is consistent with reasonable
care. But failure to abate dangers which reason-
able care would have revealed will charge the
city with liability, and this whether the form of
action be negligence or nuisance. Trustees of
Canandaigua v. Foster, 156 N. Y. 354, 50 N. E. 971,
41, L. R. A. 554, 66 Am. St. Rep. 575; Uggla v.
Brokaw, 117 App. Div. 586, 591, 102 N. Y. Supp.
857. 'It cannot be held as a general proposition
that a city may excuse itself from a charge of
negligence as to the condition and care of its
streets, merely by claiming that it had acted judi-
cially in determining to leave the street in a dan-
gerous condition for public travel.' Williams. J.,
in Kiernan v. Mayor, etc., of N. Y., 14 App. Div.
156, 159, 43 N. Y. Supp. 538, 541.

Reliance is placed upon rulings that stepping
stones, hitching posts, hydrants, shade trees, and
the like are legitimate obstructions. Robert v.
Powell, 168 N. Y. 411, 61 N. E. 699, 55 L. R. A. 775,

59 N. E. 1124; City of Wellington v. Gregson, 31
Kan. 99, 103, 1 Pac. 253, 47 Am. Rep. 482; ap-
proved in Dougherty v. Village of Horseheads, 159
N. Y. 154, 161, 53 N. E. 799. In some cases, as
Brewer, J., points out in City of Wellington v.
Gregson, supra, the courts dealt with the ques-
tion as one of fact for a jury, citing 2 Dillon on
Munc. Corp. Sec. 1016. In other cases, exhibiting
other conditions, they dealt with it as one of law.
Always, however, the ruling was made, not abso-
lutely, but relatively, to particular conditions of
location, of convenience, or of necessity. We had
occasion in Lambert v. Westchester El. R. R. Co.,
191 N. Y. 248, 252, 83 N. E. 977, to emphasize that
truth. There the cases that deal with stepping
stones and the like were cited to exempt a street
railroad from liability for so placing one of its
trolley poles as to imperil the use of the highway.
We put aside the citations as inapplicable, and
lield that the defendant's franchise did not au-
thorize it to place its poles where they would 'un-
duly and unnecessarily interfere' with the public
right of travel. 191 N. Y. at page 252, 83 N. E. at
page 978.

(8) The point is made that if the center poles
were s.afe when first erected, the city could not
compel them to be moved, though they later be-
came dangerous. We are referred to our decision
in People ex rel, C. of New York v. N. Y. Railways
Co., 217 N. Y. 310, 317. 112 N. E. 49, but we think
it is inapplicable. There the attempt was made
to compel a relocation of the tracks; and the lo-
cation of the tracks was held to be of the sub-
stance of the franchise. The state might relo-
cate them in the exercise of the police power, but
not the municipality. Here the things to be
moved are mere incidents or appurtenances; they
do not affect the location of the right of way;
and wherever they are placed, the franchise in
its substance remains intact. This was recog-
nized in People ex rel. City of New York v. N. Y.
Railways Co., supra. Judge Collins said:

'The rights of a railroad corporation upon
the parts of the streets appropriated to its use
must be so exercised that the free use of the
streets, for the purposes and in the modes in-
herent in their creation, will not be unreason-
ably interfered with. It is a part of the regu-
lative power of the local authorities to secure
such result.' "

In the case of The People ex rel. The City of Chi-
cago vs. The Chicago City Railway Company, 324
III., 618, the court in a well considered opinion said,
on page 621 :

"The license under which the railway company
constructs, maintains and operates its railroad
was granted and accepted subject to a reserved
police power on the part of the city to regulate
the use and enjoyment by the railway company of
the street in such manner as the public conven-
ience or safety at any time might require. (Louis-
ville Bridge Co.' v. United States, 242 U. S. 409,
37 Sup. Ct. 158; People v. New York Railways Co.
217 N. Y. 310, 112 N. E. 49; People v. Geneva, W.,
S. F. & C. L. Traction Co. 112 App. Div. 581, 98
N. Y. Supp. 719; Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago
and St. Louis Railway Co. v. Chicago City Railway
Co. 224 111. App. 380.) The permission given a
railway company to use the streets of a city is
a subordination to the general power of the mu-

iiioipality ovor its streets. The city is under no
oliligation fo conform its treatment of its streets
to I he consf ruction of the company's road-bed,
but, on the contrary, tlie company must conform
the construction of its road-bed to such reason-
able reguhitions as are made by the municipality
in the reasonable exercise of its powers concerning
the use, control, regulation and improvement of its
streets. Street railways occupy public streets
subject to the use of such streets by the public,
subject lo such burdens as may be made necessary
by reason of the improvement of such streets and
subject to such changes in the construction of
road-beds as improved and changed conditions
may demand. (City of Detroit v. Fort Wayne and
Elmwood Railway Co. 90 -Mich. 646, 51 N. W.
688.) The power to enact police regulations op-
erated on all alifce. This fundamental principle
is incident to and part of government itself, and
need not be expressly reserved when rights or
property is granted to individuals or corporate
bodies. They take subservient to this power.
(Ohio and Mississippi Railroad Co. v. McClelland,
25 111. 123.) The police power of a State em-
braces regulations designed to promote the public
convenience as well as regulations designed to
promote the public health, morals and safety.
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railway Co. v.
Illinois, 200 U. S. 561, 26 Sup. Ct. 341."

On page 622, the court said :

"The power of the city to protect the public in
the use of its streets cannot be abrogated by ordi-
nance or relinquished by contract."

On page 624, the court said:

"A review of the authorities shows that they
are in harmony in holding that a municipality
cannot surrender its power to control and regu-
late its streets, and that it is not liable to com-
panies having a right by ordinance to place their
appliances in the streets for expenses incurred in
readjusting their appliances lo meet conditions
created by the municipality in making pubUc im-
provements to promote the [)ublic convenience and
necessity, when made in a reasonable manner. It
is also uniformly held that the municipalily. in
causing such expenses, does not infringe llic con-
stitutional provision against llie taking of iirop-
erty without compensation and (lie iiii|);iinii('nt
of contracts, nor does it constitute a lienial of due
process of law."

It will be observed, however, that the case last
cited related to a street railway located in I he streets
of the city, while the case now before us relates to
a railroad organized under the General Railroads Act
which railroad was situated principally upon its own
privately owned right-of-way, but crossing Western
avenue at the location in qui'stion.

This distinction is important, because the I'ublii-
Utilities Act has expressly conferred upon the Illi-
nois Commerce Commission broad powers and cun-
trol over the intersection of railroads in public
streets. Section 57 of the I'ublic Utilities Act of
1021 reads in part as follows:

"The Conunission sluill idso Ikuc powci' hy
i(,s order to require the reconstruction, alteration,
relocation or improvement of any crossing (in-
cluding the necessary high\\'ay a|)proaclies thereto)
of any railroad across any highway or jiuhlic road,
whether such crossing be at grade or ])y over-
head structure or ])y subway, wlienevei' the (com-
mission finds after a heiu'iug (hat such reconsi I'uc-

tion, alteration, relocation or improvement is nec-
essary to preserve or promote the safety of the
public or of the employees or passenger,s of such
railroad. By its original order or supplemental
orders in such case, the Commission mav direct
such reconstruction, alteration, relocation or im-
provement to be made in such manner and upon
such terms and conditions as may be reasonable
and necessary and may apportion the cost of such
reconstruction, alteration, relocation or improve-
ment between the railroad company or companies
and other public utilities affected, or between such
company or companies and other public utilities
and the State, county, municipality, or other pub-
lic authority in interest. The cost to be so appor-
tioned shall include the cost of changes or altera-
tions in the equipment of other public utilities
affected as well as the cost of the relocation,
diversion or establishment of any public highway,
made necessai^ by such reconstruction, altera-
tion, relocation or improvement of said crossing."

It is manifest that from the section above quoted
the Illinois Commerce Commission has broad and
ample power to compel the Elevated Railroad Com-
pany to remove its girders or columns at public
street intersections like the one in question. And
if the Illinois Commerce Commission has this power
then it follows that such a power is exclusive and
cannot be exercised concurrently by a municipality.

It was so held by the Supreme Court in the case
of Village of Atwood v. C, I. &■ W. R. R. Co. (1925),
316 111. 425, where the Court held that the above
power over street intersections conferred upon the
Illinois Commerce Commission was inconsistent with
and therefore took away from cities and villages the
power theretofore exercised by them to compel rail-
roads to keep flagmen at street intersections. The
Court added :

"The General Assembly, by sub-section 27 of
section 1 of article 5 of the Cities and Villages
act, effective July 1, 1872, vested in cities and
villages organized under that act the power, among
others, to require railroad companies to keep
flagmen at railroad crossings of streets. This was
a delegation to the municipalities designated, of a
portion of the police power of the State. The
police power is an attribute of sovereignty and is
primarily, vested in the General Assembly, which
has the right at any time to recall it from the
agency to which it has been delegated, and after
being recalled to retain it or to confer it upon
some other agency of government. In the exer-
cise of this power the Sf^te may intervene when-
ever the public interests demand such interfer-
ence, and in this respect a large liiscretion is nec-
essarily vested in the legislature to determine not
only what the interests of the public require but
what measures are necessary for the protection of
such interests. (Durnnd v. Dyson, 271 111. 382;
Illinois Central Railroad Co. v. Willenborn, 117 id.
203; City of Chicago v. O'Connell, 278 id. 591.)
The General Assembly, in its discretion, with-
drew from cities and villages tin; i)ower here
sought to be exercised by the appellant and vested
it in the Commerce Commission, another agency
of government."

Wo believe that the Atwood case is conclusive of
the question involved in the present case and ri^gret
to say that in our opinion the power to comi^el the
raih'oad company to relocate the gird(M"s or cohunns

February 21. 1929.

at street intersections has been taken away from Ibe
City by the Legislature of this state and vested in
the Illinois Commerce Commission.

Protest against the Proposed Sale of Gage Farm.

The City Clerk presented the following communica-
tion, which was referred to the Committee on Finance:

Berwyn Parent-Teacher Council,|
Berwyn, Illinois, March 16, 1929.}

Honorable Mayor and City Council, City of Chicago,
Chicago, Illinois:

Gentlemen— Word reaches us that the City of
Chicago proposes selling Gage Farm for subdivis-
ion purposes. This property lies partly in the
Township of Proviso and partly in the west half
of Section 30-39-13, being situated in the City of
Berwyn. Inasmuch as all of this territory will be
eventually taken in by Chicago and as tlhe average
amount of park to population is found to be ten
(10) acres to each one thousand people and as the
City of Berwyn is aready in excess and of fiftv
thousand people, and has only fifteen (15) acres of
park, we feel that it is quite necessary to the w-el-
fare of the future generations to save Gage Farm
for their benefit as it is the only available park
space left m Berwyn and we. therefore, take this
means to register our protest against your recent
ordinance authorizing the sale of this property

Hoping that you will see fit to rescind your ac-
fion, we remain

Yours very truly, '

Berwyn Parent-Teacher Counch..

DEPARTiMENT OF COMPENSATION.

Vacation of Part of W. 34th St, (.\mendment).

The City Clerk presented the following communica-
lion:

DEPART.MENT OF COMPENSATION,]

CHICAGO, iMarch 18, 1928. J

To the Honorable, The Mayor, and the City Council
of the- City of Chicago:

Gentlemen — Transmitted herewith is an ordi-
nance amending an ordinance passed January 30,
1929 vacating the stub end of West 34th street for
the Campbell Soup Company and various railroads.
The ordinance contains the provision that a sidewalk
and curb be constructed across the end of the street
after the vacation thereof.

Inasmudh as ithe end of t'he street will be blocked
by a concrete retaining wall and the roadway is
paved with concrete, and there is no public travel
thereon, this provision was put in the ordinance by
error and a sidewalk should not be constructed.

It is therefore recommended that this amendment
be passed without the usual reference to a com-
mittee.

Yours very truly,

(Signed) John A. Pelka,

Commissioner of Compensation.

Unanimous consent was given to permit action on
the ordinance submitted with the foregoing communi-
cation without reference thereof to a committee.

ing in West 34th street at South Campbell ave-
nue. The precise amount of the sum so deposited

The City Clerk presented the following communica-
tion:

Department of Com.pensation,]
Chicago, March 14, 1929.|

To the Honorable, The Mayor, and the City Council
of the City of Chicago:

Gentlemen— Transmitted herewitih is an ordi-
nance repealing an ordinance for railroad tracks
across East 117th street and other streets.

suggested that the repeal ordinance he passed with-
out reference to a committee.

DE3»ARTMENT OF LAW.

In the Matter of the Granting of a New Franchise to the
Illinois Bell Telephone Co.

The City Clerk presented the following communica-
tion, which was, together with the communications
transmitted therewith, ordered published and referred
to the Committee on Finance:

Department of Law,|
Chicago, March 18, 1929. J

To the Honorable, the City Council of the Citij of
Chicago:

Gentlemen— I transmit herewith a communi-
cation dated March 18, 1929, addressed to the Cor-
poration Counsel by Benjamin F. Goldstein, Special
Assistant Corporation Counsel, assigned to the
Illinois Bell Telephone Company franchise litigation,
also a communication addressed to the Corporation
Counsel dated March 18, 1929, and signed by George
I. Haight, Benjamin Goldstein and Edmund D. Ad-
cock, Special Assistant Corporation Counsel.

One of these communications deals with the
Illinois Bell Telephone Company franchise which is
now pending before Your Honorable Body, and the
other is a suit in equity by the Illinois Bell Tele-
phone Company against the Illinois Commerce Com-
mission now pending in the United States District
Court, and I respectfully suggest that these com-
munications be published in full in the Journal of
the Proceedings of Your Honorable Body and re-
ferred to the appropriate committee or committees
of Your Honorable Body for prompt action.

It is my opinion that if the City of Chicago is to
properly present all of the facts necessary for
presentation to protect the rights of the City in the
granting of a new franchise to the Illinois Bell
Telephone Company, and to properly defend the prin-
ciples of law involved as well as to estahlish the
facts as a basis therefor in the suit in equity now
pending in the United States District Court, it will
be necessary for the City not only to offer affirmative
evidence covering all points, but to check and re-
examine the facts presented by the Telephone Com-
pany.

To do this work properly will require extensive
and intensive work of lawyers, experts, engineers
and accountanis, and if Your Honorable Body is de-
sirous of having this work done, I would respect-
fully recommend that a suitable appropriation of
funds be made at an early date by Your Honorable
Body.

Yours truly,

(Signed) James W. Breen,

Acting Corporation Counsel.

Chicago, March 18, 1929.

Samuel Ettelson, Esq., Corporation Counsel, Chicago,.
Illinois:

he: ILLINOIS bell telephone company franchise.
Dear Sir — The undersigned, employed by you to
conduct negotiations .between the City and the Illi-
nois Bell Telephone Company for a new franchise,,
desires to bring to your attention the present con-
ditions in relation thereto.

In order that the City may determine what is a
fair basis of return to it and also determine the
proper regulations to protect the public interest in
relation to service, it is necessary to make an exami-
nation of the whole history of telephone operations
since 1907. In particular, an examination is neces-
sary of the revenues, expenses, methods of service,
depreciation charges, relationship of the Illinois
Bell Telephone Company to the American Telephone
& Telegraph Company, the method of telephone
service, the probable development of such service
and source of increased revenue, and its affect on
increased plant investment, the development in the
art of telephony as bearing on plant investment on
which the telephone users are asked to pay a re-
turn, the relative value of the City facilities now
used as compared to that in use in 1907, and the
examination of the changes in the methods of
operations and of the type of equipment used and
probably to be used, and their effect on rate
schedules.

It is obvious that these matters involve engineer-
ing and accounting service as well as the determi-
nation of legal questions. Part of the data required
for the proper handling of the telephone litigation
in the Federal courts may be used in connection
with the negotiations for the telephone franchise
but much additional matter not required for that
litigation will be required to determine the matters
hereinabove indicated.

The City should give me assurances and make
available funds to carry out the negotiations in the
interests of the City along the lines above indicated,
so that I may proceed forthwith to gather up the
necessary data.

Respectfully,
(Signed) Benjamin Goldstein.

Chicago, March 18, 1929.

Samuel Ettelson, Esq., Corporation Counsel, Chicago,
Illinois:

re: ILLINOIS BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY VS. FRANK L.
SMITH, ET AL, IN EQUITY NO. 3746.

Dear Sir — The undersigned, employed by you to
represent the City of Chicago as Special Counsel in
the above entitled case, desire to bring to your at-
tention the present condition of the telephone liti-
gation now pending in the District Court of the
United States. On August 16, 1923, the Illinois Com-
merce Commission issued an order, after hearings
covering a period of nearly two years, affecting a
reduction in the guarantee required of certain resi-
dence coin box subscribers. The Illinois Bell Tele-
phone Company filed a petition for a writ of in-
junction alleging confiscation, in the Distinct Court.
In this proceeding the City of Chicago intervened
and was recognized as the real party defendant in
the case. Afiidavits and briefs were presented by
all parties and the issues were broadened to include
the rate structure of the Telephone Company. On

March 18, J 929.

COMMUNICATIONS, ETC.

4725

December 21, 1923, a temporary ii\junction was
issued by the Court enjoining the enforcement of
the order of August 16, 1923, until the issues be
decided on their merits, the Court finding as fol-
lows :

"Now, after considering the pleadings in the
cause and the affidavits submitted in behalf of the
Plaintiff and the affidavits submitted on behalf of
the Defendants, and said affidavits being conflict-
ing, and the Court being of the opinion, from all
the facts before the Court that a preliminary in-
junction should issue because the rates are con-
fiscatory and that the whole matter should go to
a final hearing upon the merits upon evidence to
be adduced before the Court and not merely upon
affidavits; that it is therefore best to have the
matter disposed of at a final hearing of the causes
upon the merits, and the Court being prepared to set
the case down for immediate trial and it appear-
ing that final disposition of the suit on its merits
made within a few weeks, and that pending such
final hearing a preliminary injunction should be
granted as prayed for by the Plaintiff in the bill
of the Complainant herein, etc."

The Court required the Telephone Company to
post a million dollar bond to make refund of all
sums collected in the event that the final decree on
the merits should sustain the reduction order of
August 16, 1923. To date these sums aggregate
about $9,000,000.00.

After the temporary injunction was issued appeal
was taken by the City of Chicago to the Supreme
Court of the United States, where briefs and reply
briefs were filed to the October term 1925. The
Supreme Court, without opinion, ruled adversely.
But the case has never been heard on the merits.
Continued from time to time, the case was finally
set down for definite disposition by the District
Court, all parties being required to file on February
16, 1929. On the basis of these statements the
Court set the case down for hearing on the merits
on April 15, 1929.

An examination of the pleadings, affidavits and
briefs in the case reveal that some of the principles
of law which will be established upon the final de-
cree, involve basic principles of law, to wit, the
proper method of valuing telephone property for
rate making purposes, whether at cost or repro-
duction cost now, and if the latter, whether de-
preciation reserve should be deducted. When it is
considered that in the case itself the difference be-
tween the methods of calculation involve $20,000,-
OOO.OO in amount and $26,000,000.00 in depreciation
reserve,' and that since the depreciation reserve has
been increased beyond $60,000,000.00, the importance
of these issues is evident. Similarly is involved the
issue as to whether the company must be consistent
in its treatment of depreciation and depreciation
reserve, a matter which since 1923 has also been
before the Interstate Commerce Commission. Items
of "Going Value", "Missing Overheads", and other
items aggregating millions of dollars, as well as the
question of the proper rate of return to be allowed
public utilities are all to be passed upon, not only
for the immediate case, but the principle established
for the future. In the latter aspect the case is of
prime importance although the figures have Changed
greatly since 1923.

To properly defend the principles of law involved
and to establish the facts as a basis therefor, it will
be necessary for the City not only to offer affirmative
evidence covering all points but to check and to
re-examine the facts presented by the Telephone

Company. How long and how much work this will
involve it is, of course, impossible to estimate. But
judging from the voluminous record before the
Illinois Commerce Commission and the facts pre-
sented in the afii davits above referred to, it is
apparent that a proper handling of the litigation
will require extensive and intensive work of lawyers,
experts, engineers, and accountants. Of course, part
of the work may be saved through the assistance of
the records of the Illinois Commerce Commission
but how much remains to be seen.

For the City to drop the litigation will not only
release the Telephone Company from any obligation
to return the sums collected, but may result in the
adjudication either of principles of law or of im-
portant principles of accounting, or facts which may
prejudice the rights of the telephone users in future
proceedings at their instance, or by the Telephone
Company. It may also necessitate new proceedings
to test the very principles which are in the instant
case for adjudication and in which there will be lost
the benefit of all moneys already spent to establish
or at least to search out the facts already set out in
the case under discussion.

But it will be both an imposition on the Court
itself, as well as an idle gesture, to file detailed pro-
posed proofs without the assurance that the City
will make available funds to prove these facts and
to carry on the case to final adjudication, if neces-
sary, to the highest court of the land.

In order that we may be prepared to proceed with
this case on April 15th as required by Order of
Court, it will be necessary to employ such competent
help at once and the assurance of the City, therefore,
to properly finance the litigation should be forth-
coming immediately.

Respectfully,

Licensing and Regulation of Insurance Brokers
(Amendment).

The City Clerk presented the following communica-
tion, which was, together with the ordinance trans-
mitted therewith, referred to the Committee on
Finance:

Department op Law,)
Chicago, March 15, 1929.5

To the Honorable, the City Council of the City of
Chicago :

Gentlemen — ^^We forward herewith draft of an
ordinance amending The Chicago Municipal Code of
1922 so as to make more effective the licensing and
regulating of insurance brokers. The proposed ordi-
nance is in the form of an amendment to the Code
to take the place of Article IV of Chapter XVI.

The preparation of this ordinance is at the request
of the Department of License on the theory that it
will make it much easier to collect license fees from
insurance brokers. At the present time it is difficult
to obtain the necessary proof to show that a man is
a broker, and the consequence is the City does not
get the fees from anywhere near the number of
brokers that are operating in the City, but only a
small proportion thereof.

The Association of Insurance brokers has indicated
to us that if the ordinance, that we have prepared.

4726

JOURNAL— CITY COUNCIL.

will bccoino a law in this City, there will be at least
10,000 insurance brokers who will take out licenses.
This would mean revenue, in addition to what we
obtain now from that source, of something like
|200,O0'0.O0. We, therefore, submit the ordinance
for the consideration of your Honorable Body.

Yuiu's very truly,

Proposed Legislation Concerning Die Duties of the
Corporation Counsel, and Eliminating the Require-
ment That Warrants Accompany Checks
Drawn against Funds in City Depositaries.

The City Clerk presented the following communica-
tion, which was, together with the Bill transmitted
therew'ith, referred to the Committee on Judiciary and
Special Assessments:

Department of La\v.|
Chicago, March 8, 1929.j

Til the Honorable, the City Coutjcil of the City of
Cldcago:

Gentlemen — The question as to the scope of the
duties of the Corporation Counsel is one that has
arisen several times in recent years. Only a short
time ago there was uncertainty as to whether the
Corporation Counsel could properly appear on behalf
of officers who were sued personally on account of
an alleged conspiracy against the City.

Altliough there can be no such exact definition of
the duties of the Corporation Counsel as will avoid
all questions in the future, nevertheless, we believe
it would be highly desirable to more specifically
•define them hy statute than they are defined at
present. We have, therefore, drafted an amendment
to Section 7 of Part Two of Article XII of the Cities
and Villages Act setting forth duties of the Cor-
poration Counsel more particularly.

We have also been asked by the City Treasurer to
prepare an amendment to Section 5 of the same
Part of Article XII. which will do away with the
provision requiring warants to accompany all checks
drawn against funds in the City depositaries. This
provision of the law is not observed at the present
time because it would require a large number of
clerks in the Treasurer's Office to follow this pro-
vision of the statute. Hence, the proposed amend-
ment will merely have the effect of making valid a
procedure which is at present followed. The Treas-
urer asks that this be done in order that he may be
protected against the charge of failing to obey the
statute. We have, therefore, executed the alter-
ation which the Treasurer asks for in the draft of
tile bill which we submit herewith.

The bill as prepared by us is forwarded herewith
for the consideration of Your Honorable Body. If
approved it will he presented at once to the General
Assembly.

Yours very truly,

(Signed) Leon Hornstein,

Assistant Corporation Counsel.

In the Matter of Legislation Affecting the City of Chi-
cago Introduced in the 56th General Assembly.

The City Clerk presented the following communica-
tions, which were, together with the copies of the Bills
transmitted therewith, referred to the Committee on
Judiciary and Special Assessments:

Springfield, 111., March 13, 1929.

To the Honorable, the City Council, City of Chicago,
Chicago, Hlinois:

Gentlemen — Since the last list reported to you,
the following bills, affecting the municipality of
Chicago, have been presented in the General As-
sembly :

senate bills.

193. This bill amends the Motor Vehicle Act
so as to prescribe maximum weights permitted in
the case of motor trucks different from the present
maximum w-eights. The weight limit provisions
are more drastic than at present. Provision is also
made in the new Act for enabling the County Treas-
urer to receive registration fees and issue licenses
in place of the Secretary of State.

217. This bill authorizes the State, County, or
any municipality, to lease any public building, ex-
cepting school houses in actual use as such, at a

as to enable any city or village to lease any public
utility for a period not to exceed fifty (50'i years,
subject to the supervision of the State Superinten-
dent of Waterways. It was introduced by the sena-
tor from Rock Island District for the purpose of

althougti the Act originally was designed for Calu-
met Harbor.

230. Provides for the levying of a tax in cities
and villages of less than 500,000 for wages of fire-
men and policemen. It does not seem to afl'ect the
City of Cliicago.

house bills.

313. This bill defines "lobbyist" as any person
who speaks hefore a committee or otherwise seeks

towns to construct and maintain sewerage works
with the approval of the Sanitary Water Board pro-
vided for in House Bill 335.

Local Improvements concerning an improvement the
court shall enter an order to ascertain whether work
was done in accordance with the ordinance or not.
If the ordinance has not heen complied with, pro-
visions are made for making it so comply.

362. Bill introduced on behalf of the City of
Chicaffo for the purpose of enabling the Commis-
sioner of Public Works to resurface the city's streets.

Copies of the above bills are forwarded herewith.

The progress made on bills of the City of Chicago,
which has heretofore been very slow, was materially
accelerated yesterday by the approval of a number
of bills by the committees to whioh they had been
referred.

House Bill No. 46. providing a maximum rate of
$1,071/2 was reported and voted out favorably. Calu-
met Harbor Bill— House Bill No. 119— was also voted
out favorably.

House Bills Nos. 38 and 39, providing for water
certificates and validation of those that are issued,
were favorably acted on by the House Committee on
Municipalities.

House Bill No. 130. authorizing an increase in the
rate of interest of school tax anticipation warrants
was also reported out favorably by the Senate Com-
mittee on Education.

House Bill No. 60, which was designed to create
a board of estimate and apportionment to review
the tax levy of diflferent municipalities and counties,
has been tabled.

House Bill No. 132, which was designed to make
it necessary to publish payrolls, receipts and ex-
penditures every three months, was voted out with
tihe recommendation that it do not pass.

The additional bills which are designed to speed
up the reassessment now going on in Cook County,
are receiving attention and will probably proceed
rapidly. The principal one of these is Senate Bill
No. 138 which permits the equalization of assess-
ments made by the tax commission before the new
Acts become efTective, and also validates the State
tax rate for extension- of taxes in the several coun-
ties, based on the valuation of property so equal-
ized.

Senate Bill No. 137 is of somewhat similar im-
port and authorizes the fixing of the tax rate on
the basis of the total valuation when the reassess-
ment is complete, without w-aiting for the new Acts
to take effect.

Springfield, III., March 6, 1929.

To the Honorable, the City Council, City of Chicago,
Chicago, Illinois:

Genti^emen — Since making the last report to Your
Honorable Body, the following bills, in which the
City of Chicago has an interest, have been intro-
duced in the General Assembly :

SENATE BILLS.

165. Provides for the annexation of contiguous

territory to Lincoln Park. Such annexation can be
affected by the passage of a resolution by the Com-
missioners of Lincoln Park and a favorable vote of
the people of the district to be annexed to it.

168. Oil Inspection Bill. This is one of several
bills designed to clarify the situation with respect
to oil inspection by revising the present act which
has been attacked by the large oil corporations and
which contains some features that are at least ques-
tionable if not actually invalid. This bill provides
for inspection at the point in the State where the
oil is taken out of its original container and put into
new containers. Provides separate tests for gasoline,
kerosene and fuel oils and fees for inspection. De-
fines duties of oil inspectors and provides for a
certificate in label form to be attached to inspected
oils. It repeals oil inspection law of 1915. The
city is interested in this law in various ways— one
of them being from the standpoint of rejection.

171. Amendment to Local Improvement Act which
provides that interest shall be paid on condemnation
judgments at the rate of 5% from the date judgment
was entered until paid. Under present conditions
this bill is of great importance to the city and will
mean that large sums will have to be paid out in
interest if the bill becomes a law.

173. A bill for the erection of a monument in
Chicago or Cook County to commemorate the service
of the Illinois veterans of all wars. Would appro-
priate $2010,000.00 for this purpose.

182. Provides for the levying of a tax by cities,
villages and towns for the purpose of paying the
expenses of oiling streets. There is such a pro-
vision in the law at the present time and it is not
quite clear just What the purpose of the present bill
is, unless it is the theory that perhaps the placing
of the tax outside of the maximum corporate levy
has been accidentaly repealed by implication.

184. This bill amends Section 10 of the Public
Utilities Act of 1921 by changing the definition of
the Public Utilities so as to except selling and de-
livering light, heat, coal, power, w-ater and electrical
energy to municipalities for resale.

185. Amends Section four of the 1913 Municipal
Public Utilities Act so as to enable cities to sell
electricity and power generated by private parties
w-hich is transmitted to the city for resale.

186. Enlarges corporate limits of the Sanitary
District of Chicago so as to include that portion of
the Village of Midlothian not now included.

187. Provides for the semi-annual payment of
taxes, making the first installment delinquent on
May 1st, and the second installment delinquent on
November 1st.

189. Increases the penalty for persons convicted
of driving motor vehicles, w'hile intoxicated, from a
fine not to exceed $200.00 or imprisonment in the
County Jail not exceeding sixty days to a fine of not
less than $500.00 nor more than $1,000.00, or by
imprisonment in the County Jail not less than 30
days nor more than six months or both fine and im-
prisonment.

HOUSE BILLS.

272. This is a bill that provides for cutting in
half the present State registration fees for motor
vehicles. It was introduced in pursuance of the
action taken by a committee which met in the City
of Chicago last week. They announced that if the
3-cent gasoline tax w^as adopted, there should be a
reduction in motor vehicle registration fees.

4728 JOURNAI^CITY COUNCIL.

278. A bill limiting expenditures for political
purposes. This is a complete revision of the Cor-
rupt Practices Act of 1917. It forbids the soliciting
of contributions for candidates under false names,
forbids contributions from public employes and
limils the amount that a candidate may expend.

279. This bill and four bills following it, all in-
troduced at the same time by the same party, seem
to be part of a general scheme for increasing the
County's tax levy from 25 cents to 40 cents per
$100.00.

280. This is an amendment to the Juul Law to
correspond with No. 279 so as to provide for a
maximum of 40% on the scaling process.

281. Authorizes counties to issue bonds to pay
outstanding indebtedness and increases the statutory
limit for taxes for counties from 25 cents to 40
cents per $100.00.

282. Amends Section 121 of the Revenue Act of
1872 by increasing the statutory limit for counties
from 25 cents to 40 cents.

283. This is an amendment to the Act of 1927
which authorizes counties to construct municipal
halls and fixes the new taxing limit of 40 cents to
correspond with the preceding bills. This Act is
the one under which it is proposed to erect a
municipal convention hall in the City of Chicago.

284. Bill providing for State Civil Service. In
general follows the Civil Service provisions of cities
and counties, providing for a commission, exami-
nation, etc.

287. This bill provides for appropriation of $30,-
000.00 to the University of Illinois for the develop-
ment and needs of an experimental station on twenty
(20j acres of land in Cook County.

288. An amendment to Section 14 of Local Im-
provement Act requiring that the petition and as-
sessment roll in counties of 500',000 shall be filed in
duplicate, the duplicate copies to be kept by the
Recorder of Deeds. The design of the Act I am told
is to afford a speedy means of getting an assessment
on the records so as to avoid errors on abstracts and
incorrect certification under the Torrens system.

289. This bill amends the Small Park District
Act of 1895. It validates the acquisition, con-
struction and maintenance of all recreational and
athletic facilities which have been instituted by such
park districts.

291. An amendment to the motor vehicle act
under which any person, other than an officer having
the powers of a conservator of the peace, who at-
taches a badge or star, is guilty of a misdemeanor
and subject to a fine if he does so.

310. A bill providing for the licensing by the
State of insurance brokers. This affects the City's
revenue slightly.

The following is said resolution as adopted:

Whereas, Senate Bill No. 151, now pending in the
General Assembly of the State of Illinois, provides
for the appointment by the Governor of the State
of Illinois of a State Board of Police Commissioners
to supervise and regulate the police and police de-
partments in all cities, villages and incorporated
towns in the State of Illinois ihaving a population
of more than one million people; and

Whereas, The creation of such a commission
would be an unwarranted interference by the State
government in purely local atfairs, and, in addition,
would have a most harmful effect in that it would
place the control of the most important and vital
service rendered by a municipality in the hands of
officials who would be in no degree answerable
to the citizens of that miunicipality; therefore, be it

Resolved, That the City Council of the City of Chi-
cago hereby respectfully petitions the General As-
sembly of the State of Illinois not to enact Senate
Bill No. 151; and be it further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be trans-
mitted to the Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives and to the Lieutenant Governor of the State of
Illinois, with the request that they submit same
(o their respective branches of the General Assem-
bly.

Petition against the Proposed Enactment of House
Bill No. 248.

The Committee on Judiciary and Special Assess-
ments submitted a report recommending the adoption
of a resolution submitted therewith petitioning the Gen-
eral Assembly not to enact House Bill No. 248, relative
to the selection of the County Superintendent of
Schools.

Alderman Nelson moved to concur in said report and
to adopt said resolution.

No request being made by any two Aldermen present
to defer consideration of said report for final action
thereon until the next regular meeting, and the ques-
tion being put, the vote thereon was as follows:

ering, Govier, Rowan, Wilson, Hartnett, O'Toole, Byrne,

Naijs — None.

The following is said resolution as adopted:

Whereas, House Bill No. 248, now pending in the

General Assembly of the State of Illinois, if en-
acted into law, will take away from the people of
Chicago their vote on County Superintendent of
Schools; and

Whereas, The County Superintendent of Schools
performs certain functions which affect all of the
people of the county, and for that reason it would
be unfair to take away from the people of Chicago
their vote in the selection of the County Superin-
tendent of Schools; therefore, be it

Resolved, That the City Council of the City of Chi-
cago hereby respectfully petitions the General As-
sembly not to enact House Bill No. 248; and be it
further

Resolved, That copies of this resolution be trans-
mitted to the Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives and to the Lieutenant Governor of the State of

cago and shall bo governed thereby except in so
far as such laws are inconsistent with the provisions
of this Act.

Any candidate whose name appears on the bal-
lots used in any ward of the city at the general
election for Aldermen, so held in any year on the
first Tuesday of April as provided for in this Act,
may contest tihe election of the candidate who ap-
pears to be elected from said ward on the face of the
returns, or may contest the right of the candidates
who appear to have received the highest and sec-
ond highest number of votes to places on the ofFicial
ballot at the supplementary election which is to
follow, as the case may be, by filing with the Clerk
of the County Court of Cook County a petition in
.writing, setting forth the grounds of contest, which
petition shall be verified by the candidate making
such contest and shall be filed within five days
after such general election for Aldermen. The con-
testant shall also serve notice on all persons who
were candidates for alderman of such ward at the
said election, within sudh five days, informing them

test. All proceedings, in relation to such contest
after the filing of such petition shall be the same,

case the said county judge shall decide that Uhe
petition is insufficient in law, or that the candidate
who appears to have been elected on the face of
the returns 'has been duly elected, the petition shall
be dismissed. If it shall appear to the satisfaction
of said county judge that the face of the returns
are not correct, and that the candidate who appears
thereby to have been elected was not in fact elected,

highest number of votes as determined by suoh con-
test shall be the candidates at the subsequent sup-
plementary election as herein provided for. Pro-

vards of park districts; and

Whereas, These vehicles have been and are dam-
aging said highways, streets and boulevards to such
an extent as to keep them in a constant state of
bad repair, thereby- causing damage to privately-
owned and driven vehicles of less capacity and
making driving unsafe and dangerous; and

Whereas, In some cities some of these vehicles
carry forty or more passengers and due to the ex-
treme weight on their solid tires cause a vibration
which shakes the homes and buildings along their
route, thereby causing the walls to crack and other-
wise become damaged, and further to disturb the
peace and quiet of residents; and

Whereas, State Representative Joseph L. Rategan
of the 21st Senatorial District has introduced a bill
in the Legislature known as House Bill No. 10, which

provides that all motor vehicles carrying more than
seven passengers upon the improved public high-
ways shall have pneumatic tires; therefore be it

Resolved, That we, the members of the City Coun-
cil of the City of Chicago, believing the enactment
of this bill will prevent the further destruction of
roads, reduce the cost of their repair and upkeep,
provide further for the safety, comfort and con-
venience of passengers, eliminate the cause of dam-
age to home and buildings, and, in general, work
for the well being of the people of the State, do
heartily endorse said House Bill No. 10; and be it
further

Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be sent

Eon. John S. Clark, Chairman, Finance Committee:

Dear Sir — We are attaching herewith a copy of a

letter addressed to the Corporation Counsel concern-
ing an appropriation of $20,000.00 passed at the
meeting of the City Council on February 27th, for
the purpose of making an award.

Yours very truly,

(Signed) George K. Schmidt,

Comptroller.

Dep.artment op Finance,]
Chicago, March 5, 1929.)

Eon. Samuel A. Ettelson, Corporation Counsel:

Dear Sir — Please be informed that at a meeting
of the City Council on February 27th, there was
passed an ordinance authorizing the expenditure of
$20,000.00 from miscellaneous receipts (not otherwise
appropriated) covering an award.

This seems to have been done under a mis-
apprehension, as it appears that it was accompanied
by a letter from the Corporation Counsel that the
Comptroller's office had advised that this amount
was available for purposes of supplemental or ad-
ditional appropriations. The Comptroller knows of
no such statement having been made; on the con-
trary he was under the impression that the City
Council had appropriated all the available Cor-
porate Funds for the current year.

If it is the desire to provide for this contingent
expense, we would recommend that it be charged to
Account 50'-S-l, Contingent Fund for the Police De-
partment. This would be in harmony with the
budget.

We are sending a copy of this letter to the Finance
Committee for their information.

Yours very truly,

(Signed) George K. Schmidt,

' Comptroller.

Report of the Citizens' Traction Settlement
Committee.

The Citizens' Traction Settlement Committee, ap-
pointed by Judge James H. Wilkerson of the United
States District Court to aid in working out a solu-
tion of the transportation problem of Chicago, begs
to report the progress made to date. Its report is
presented to the Committee on Local Transportation
as well as to Judge Wilkerson, because of the City
Council's endorsement of the appointment of this
Committee and because the Committee on Local
Transportation through Chairman McDonough and
Alderman E. I. Frankhauser, head of the subcommit-
tee on ordinance and legislation, requested such
assistance as the Citizens' Committee was able to
give.

It has been repeatedly asserted during the past
few years that the chief reason for the damaging
delay in a transit settlement was the lack of suffi-
cient authority from the state legislature to ade-
quately deal with the subject. This view has been

repeatedly expressed Ijy the present and former
Mayors, the Aldermen for a number of years and by
the operators and investors in the local transporta-
tion systems. The Committee reports the results
of its efforts to remove that principal reason.

The Committee presents herewith a draft of six
bills intended to confer upon the city all needed
authority. In the opinion of Mr. Sidney S. Gorham
and Mr. Allan T. Gilbert, attorneys for the Commit-
tee, all of these bills will be held to be valid and
constitutional if attacked after being enacted into
law.

Mr. Walter L. Fisher at the request of Judge
Wilkerson rendered an opinion as to the constitu-
tionality and adequacy of the proposed enabling
legislation. He holds, in effect, that all of the bills
except the one relating to Home Rule, are constitu-
tional and reasonably adequate to meet the require-
ments for a proper solution of the transportation
problem of Chicago and suburbs.

However, the Home Rule bill which Mr. Fisher
examined made local control dependent upon a ter-
minable permit being issued to a unified company.
It will be noted that home rule, in the draft that Mr
Fisher examined, is contingent on two conditions.—
the issuance of a terminable permit and upon a con-
solidation of the companies.

In his opinion, Mr. Fisher asserts that if the first
condition is eliminated, even though the second
condition is retained, the constitutionalitv of the
bill will be less open to attack; and that such home
rule bill should be sustained. In the Home Rule
Bill presented to you the terminable permit condi-
tion has been eliminated.

Home Rule is made dependent upon the unification
of the street railways and elevated roads, and mav
include other local transit facilities. The Commit-
tee in its preliminary report stressed the merits and
advantages of unifying the local transportation
facilities in Chicago. The Committee then believed,
and is now firmly convinced, that unification pre-
sents the only sound physical basis for obtaining
the best transportation for Chicago and suburbs.

This view is sustained by the definite recommen-
dation of the Parsons-Ridgeway-Arnold Report of
1916, the Ordinance of 1918 passed by the Citv Coun-
cil, the Kelker Report of 1923 and also all of his
subsequent reports, the 1925 Uever Ordinance, the
1927 Busch draft of Ordinance, and by several re-
ports previous to this period.

In fact, every commission and nearly every recog-
nized student who has investigated the subject of
transportation in Chicago has vigorouslv urged
consolidation of the facilities. That is the demand
now of the present council.

There have been developed in Chicago three main
transportation systems. The Chicago street railway
companies have extended their lines into practically
all sections of the city, although they are far behinil
in their program for necessary extensions. Opera-
tion of street cars is a necessary local transportalinii
agency, but it should be confined to short-haul serv-
ice and be supplemental to the Rapid Transit facili-
ties. The Chicago Rapid Transit Companv has pro-
vided fast service to various sections of the ciLy.
The lines do not give any scrvire to sundry parts of
Chicago. The Chicago Motor Coach Company was
or'iginally designed to operate almost exclnsivelv in
the boulevards and park systems. During the last
two or three years it has made several altempts to
operate its service on ono lumdrcd or more miles of
the city streets.

All of these services are operated independently
01 each other and on a needlessly expensive com-
petitive basis.

It needs no argument to demonstrate that these
three companies are operating in active competition
with each other, and are not accomplishing their full
usefulness, inasmuch as they are centering their
efforts on highly populated areas rather than giving
a complete city-wide service.

Some of the advantages resulting from the con-
solidation of all the transportation agencies as devel-
oped by previous engineers' reports would be :

1. That a system of rapid, convenient and ecq-
nomical local transportation facilitfes should give
the maximum of service to car riders at the mini-
mum of cost.

2. That it would be more convenient for citi-
zens to live in desirable neighborhoods outside of
the high rent or the thickly congested areas. '

3. That it would undoubtedly result in the
building of hundreds of miles of extensions to
the surface and rapid transit lines so as to improve
the transportation in all sections of the city and
provide new and much needed transportation to
many portions of the city which are now entirely
without adequate transportation.

4. That it would make mandatory interchange
of transfers between all parts of the system.

5. That it would make provision for the future
expansion and improvement of the system coinci-
dent with the city's gi^owth and development.

6. That it would permit of sound financing at
a minimum of interest charges. This should be
reflected in the fare the car rider would pay and
the service he would obtain.

7. That it would eliminate extravagant and
wasteful competition.

8. That it would bring about a co-ordinated
system, enabling the car rider to utilize one or
several means of transportation to get him to his
destination.

_ 9. That it would encourage thousands of local
investors to purchase a desirable security in a
home enterprise. This money "invested at 'home"
would materially aid' in the city's development.

10. That it would, through permitting proper
intercourse between the various sections of the
city, build up the outlying business sections and
lead to other rapid development of these areas,

M. That it would increase rapid transportation
in Chicago. Twenty per cent of the city's popula-
tion now have rapid trnnsporf ation available as
contrasted with other large cities where the per-
centage is 45 to 75 per cent.

12. That it would provide means of obtaining
confinuous new capital that would enable the
consolidaled company to keep pace with trans-
portation development. I( would shorten the
travel time of the car riders, giving them more
time at home or for recreation, in a word it
would give real meaning to the often repeated
hope of the city that distance in Chicago should
he measured in minules -not in miles.

These bills are an allein|)t Id weld the desires and
views of the aldermen, as expressed by their attor-
neys, Assistant Corporation Counsels .lolin G. Dren-
nan and Frederick Bangs; and the views of the com-
pani(>s as rejiresented by llioir lawyers, Messrs.

SPECIAL MEETING

4807

James M. Sheean, Harry P. Weber, Weymouth Kirk-
land, Patrick C. Lucey, Harvey B. Wood, William J.
Touhy and James G. Condon. We have added to and
subtracted from these contending opinions sundry
restrictions and requirements which the lawyers for
the Committee and the Judge deemed necessary to
more adequately protect and promote the interests
of the car riders, the public and the investors. Out
of the weeks of continuous consideration, we believe
there has been evolved practical and beneficial drafts
of bills, which should be acceptable to all concerned.

It is the sincere belief of the committee that these
bills represent an accord of all the interests involved.

Several state officials, including Governor Emmer-
son. Speaker Shanahan, and several prominent legis-
lators, have publicly stated that Chicago may have
the necessary enabling legislation if there is a sub-
stantial agreement with reference to it.

That, if you please, is a challenge, which we
accept in the accord on these bills. The committee
is confident that there is not only a substantial
agreement at present but that no material disagree-
ment on any important phase of the legislation will
develop later. The subject-matter involved in these
bills has been thrashed out in detail.

Some have contended, perhaps with logic, that a
franchise ordinance should have been drafted first,
and enabling legislation sought later. With that
view the Committee has no quarrel. However, no
ordinance has been agreed and it does not seem
probable that one may be agreed upon before the
legislature, which is now in session, adjourns. Obvi-
ously if the suggested plan of agreeing on an ordi-
nance first be followed and no legislation be obtained
at the present session, in all likelihood there would
be a further damaging delay that might mean two
years of needless waiting. Hence, regardless of pref-
erence, the exigencies of the situation compelled the
Committee to center its efforts upon enabling legis-
lation.

Parenthetically, may it be repeated — as has been
asserted in every statement of the Committee or its
chairman — that it is highly advantageous that the
city and the companies continue and consummate
their negotiations on an ordinance franchise. It is
unnecessary and time-wasting for the city and the
companies to sit idly by until after the disposition
of the bills in the General Assembly is known.

It has been exceedingly detrimental to the growth,
welfare and development of the city and its suburbs
that an agreed transportation plan has not heretofore
been adopted and that considerable progress has not
been made in the construction of a unified and com-
prehensive system of transportation under it. There
is no desire to suggest a hasty perusal of the bills,
with resultant ill effects; but it is urged with respect
and vigor that the bills be expedited as much as
careful and intelligent consideration of them will
permit, that the legislature may be informed, as
soon as possible of their exact meaning and complete
significance.

In general the legislative program presented con-
templates that the city shall retain its full power
to grant a fixed-term franchise under existing law
with added freedom and more certainty of action and
with no curtailment of its present authority. The
city shall gain also the added authority to issue a
terminable permit with the safeguards, requirements
and restrictions provided in the bills.

The recommended legislation proposes that Illinois
shall recognize a terminable permit as a valid form

of transportation utility grant. The exclusive right
to issue it is conferred upon the individual com-
munity concerned. It is applicable only to street
railways, railroads, public utility motor vehicles or
a unified local transportation system.

The bills are designed to restore and re-establish
home rule for Chicago over transit matters, through
a local commission. The influence of the Mayor and
the City Council over the commission is larger and
more direct than in any proposal heretofore circu-
lated, even by the City Council itself.

More than that, the bills provide not only for local
control over the proposed unified system of trans-
portation facilities, except those operated as a part
of a main trunk line railroad system. Specific
definitions of Railroads are found in the bills so that
there may be no confusion in the use of the term
"Railroad" with trunk line railroads. The local
supervision extends beyond the limits of the city
along the right of way of any transportation line,
the major portion of which line serves the city, into
the contiguous suburban territory within thirty
miles of the corporate limits of the city. This terri-
tory within thirty miles of the corporate limits of
the city and including the city is designated a met-
ropolitan area but is not to be construed as estab-
lishing a district similar to the Sanitary District.
It is merely the naming of a territory within which
a transportation utility or a unified system may
provide, new extensions or further extend existing
lines.

New machinery is set up providing for the incor-
poration under one company of the surface lines and
the elevated and may include any and all other
forms of local transportation. Your Committee in
its preliminary report suggested that unification of
transportation facilities, either by consolidation in
ownership of properties or through operating agree-
ments, was deemed highly advantageous for the
proper solution of the problem of transportation for
the city. Upon further consideration of the subject
your Committee is now firmly convinced that a
unified system eliminating competition, bringing all
properties under one management, with interchange
of service and facilities between the various types
of lines, is the only sound basis upon which the city
may be properly served. Many of the objections
that have heretofore been made to such a plan have
been entirely met by the type of legislation proposed
at this time, and it is the confident belief of your
Committee that the public will be safeguarded there-
under as well as the properties themselves.

The city is given explicit power to build subways.
Additional power and authority is given to the city
to finance the cost of subways, to control their use
and to deal with obstructionists.

The Committee in its preliminary report recom-
mended that legislation be drawn that would not
only place the city and the companies in a position
to settle but would place them in a position that it
would make it inexcusable for them not to settle.
Your Committee believes that the propospd legisla-
tion gains that particular object and that if the bills
are enacted into laws that the parties can be forced
into speedy agreement. The public as a whole should
support the program and demand the traction facili-
ties and service that it deserves, and can be acquired
under these bills.

Cities and Villages Act.

This bill amends Sections 24 and 90' of Article V
of the present law, which enumerates the powers a
municipality may exercise. Section 24 of the pres-

4808

JOURNAL— CITY COUNCIL.

March 26, 1929.

ent acl empowers a city to prohibit, regulate and
permit tlie laying' of tracks in thoroughfares by
street railways, hut limits any such grant to 20
years. The amendment adds these words : "Except
as otherwise expressly authorized by any law of
this state now or hereafter in force".

One amendment to Section 90 permits the city
to lay tracks in a subway without first obtaining
frontage consents. The second amendment empow-
ers the city to permit, without frontage consents,
the laying and operating of tracks in streets and
alleys where such tracks exist when a franchise is
granted.

Terminable Permit.

This bill empowers every Illinois municipality
to grant permission, without limiting or fixing any
time for the duration thereof, to construct, maintain
and operate street railways, railroads, public utility
motor vehicles or a unified local transportation sys-
tem across, in over or under any of its streets or
alleys. A local transportation system is defined as
one comprising both street raihvays and railroads
and may also comprise public utility motor vehicle
lines and any other local public utility transporta-
tion facilities, the major portion of which transit
facilities is. or is to be located within, or the major
portion of the service is or is to be supplied to the
inhabitants of the city.

The principal statutory condition of such termi-
nable permit is that the city, or a corporation des-
ignated and authorized by it. shall have the right
to purchase the unified system at the price and upon
the terms specified in the permit itself. The munici-
pality may also require in the grant that the com-
pany sell and deliver its property. The permit is
terminated when the city or its permittee buys, but
not otherwise.

Any other terms or conditions may be placed in
the permit by the city which are not inconsistent
with the act or with the lawful power of the state
to regulate public utilities. Among these terms and
conditions, but not limited to them, the bill provides
that the city may make resonable provision for
extensions and additions, the retirement of invest-
ment by amortization, or otherwise; or for compen-
sation for use of the streets reckoned by a prede-
termined percentage of company receipts, or other-
wise.

But no terminable permit can become effective
until approved by a majority of the electorate
voting thereon. The form of the referendum ballot
is presented in the bill.

Transit Home Rule.

This bill amends the Illinois Commerce Commis-
sion Act to provide for local home rule for any city
having ,500,000' po|)ulation when such city shall pass
and thei'e shall have become operative and effective
an ordinance granting consent,, permission and au-
thority for the eslalilislmient of a comprehensive
unified local transportation system. To exercise this
local control ovei- transportation, there is lo be a
transit commission of three members appointed by
the Mayor with the consetil of IIh? City Council.

This bill pi'ovides tliat this local li'ansit, com-
mission shall supersede the Illinois Commerce Com-
mission, on all local transportal ion maltei-s. It is
to have the same regulaloi'y and sui)ervisory i)owei's
and duties as have been confcn-red upon the stale
commission. Hut it will not take over any of the
ordinary powers of management, restrict the discre-
lioii of Ihe company din-clorate in the selection of

its oflicers, managers and employes, nor abridge the
corporate powers of the corporation. The authority
and functions of the new commission will be deemed
the powers and duties of reasonable and lawful
public service regulation as distinguished from man-
agerial powers and duties.

The jurisdiction as set forth within which the
commission may exercise its powers and duties, as
follows :

First — Over the comprehensive unified trans-
portation system. This jurisdiction extends over
any and all parts of the unified system for 30
miles outside of the city limits, and

Second — Over any other local public utility
transportation facility, owned or operated mainly
for transportation of persons of which the major
portion of the facilities or service are within the
city. The only exception to this jurisdiction are
trunk line railroads.

Third — Over every corporation authorized to
own, control, manage or operate the unified transit
system or any other transportation facilities re-
ferred to above.

However, it is provided that the state commission
shall have jurisdiction over the initial consolidation
and merger and the issuance of bonds, stocks and
other securities in connection therewith, as well as
the issuance of any certificate of convenience and
necessity.

Each member of the commission must take the
constitutional oath of oflRce, provide a bond of
$25,000 and will receive such compensation as the
city may decide, but it shall not be decreased during
his term of office. Each commissioner is appointed
for a staggered term of four years and is required
to devote all the time necessary to perform his duties
and is prohibited a vocation which will cause him to
neglect his work.

The commission is required to become informed
and keep informed on the general condition of each
corporation under its jurisdiction and especially
with reference to franchises, capitalization, rates,
adequacy of service, compliance with the law and
with the requirements, terms and conditions of its
permit. Whenever required by the commission each
corporation must deliver all maps, profiles, reports,
documents, books, accounts, records and papers re-
quested.

This bill provides that a candidate is disqualified
who holds stocks or bonds in any corporation subject
to the jurisdiction of the commission, or has any
olher direct or indirect pecuniary interest in any
such cor])oraf ion.

Several safeguards are jilaced in Ihe bill to jire-
vent commissioners from becoming biased. A com-
missionei' is prohibited from receiving any gift,
emolument or employment from any corporation
under the jurisdicfion of the commission, or from
any onicer, manager, agent or employe of it. .\
commissioner is also foi'bidden (o ask for any em-
ployment for another person of any such corjiora-
tion. Every company, its otTicers, agenis and em-
ployj^s are also iirohibi((>d from offering any gift,
emolument or em|)loyment lo any nKMuber of the
conmiission ov ils em|)loyes.

For violation of thes(^ proliibil ions, or for mis-
feasance, malfeasance or nonf(\asanci>, any m(>inb(M-
or em|)Ioye may be removed.

The power to i)refer charges against any com-
missioner is placed in the mayor or in the city

council by resolution. A hearing must be given and
the defendant shall have full opportunity to present
his side of the case, and be represented by a lawyer.
The city council will appoint the committee to hear
the chai'ges and if they are sustained by a two-thirds
vote of the aldermen, the offender is removed.

While the commission is given authority to incur
expense to perform its functions that is limited in
the bill to what is "reasonably necessary", the com-
mission is given the additional authority to employ
accountants, engineers, experts, inspectors, clerks
and other employes and to fix their compensations.

The office of the commission is to be located in
the city hall or other place selected by the city
council and it must be open every day from 9 o'clock
in the morning to five in the afternoon, except on
holidays. Three hours in the morning is to consti-
tute a day on Saturdays.

The commission must hold weekly meetings, ex-
cept during July and August. The chairman of the
commission is required to call a meeting any time
the mayor or city council request it, which not only
permits the city to initiate action but prescribe the
time when it must first be considered.

Subtvays.

The bill confers added and more definite powers
upon any municipality in the state for the obtaining
of subways. These are primarily for local trans-
portation, but the bill permits their utilization for
any other municipal purpose or for other public
utility needs.

Specific authority is granted the city to construct
subways itself. It may prepare plans and do the
building through its established departments and
agencies.

This is only one of several ways it may be done.
The aldermen with the mayor's approval can award
a contract to a private corporation to do all the work.

Specific authority is granted the city to enter into
a contract to construct and to otherwise acquire
subways. Such construction under the bill, may be
privately done. These provisions seek larger powers
for the city in subway construction than have here-
tofore been asked by the municipal authorities.

For the purpose of constructing and operating
the subway, the city is given the power to condemn
any real or personal property necessary or conven-
ient. The city is given specific added power to levy
and collect special assessments from property spe-
cially benefited by the subway. For the remainder
of the cost, not obtained by special assessment, the
city may issue bonds or other obligations and use
any available funds including the special traction
fund collected from the street car riders.

After the subway is built, the bill gives the city
the right to lay down tracks and install appurte-
nances without frontage consents. If the city leases
the subway, it has the right to permit the operator
to lay down the tracks without frontage consents.
The municipality may use the galleries or other
unoccupied space, or allow others to utilize them.

If certain public utilities refuse to remove at their
own expense their pipes, wires, conduits, poles and
other property from a street wherein a subway is
to be built, then the bill provides that the city may
■do it after agreeing with each utility upon the part
of the cost it shall pay. If no such agreement is
possible, then the city may then fix the reasonable
cost of removal each utility shall pay.

Anticipating that some property-owners may

claim that they are damaged by subway construction
and file suit, the bill gives such suits preferential
position on the calendar of the court over every
other litigation, except election contests.

The city cannot grant the right to use the subway
or lease it until there has been a favorable referen-
dum of the voters on that plan. But if the city
grants consent, permission and authority for the
establishment, maintenance and operation of a com-
prehensive unified local transportation company,
which includes the operation of city-owned subways,
then an affirmative referendum on the entire scheme
will obviate a special referendum on subways.

Permission to Consolidate.

At the present time a street railway and a railroad
(surface lines and elevated lines) could not legally
consolidate. This act creates a new type of transit
corporation, one that mainly renders service as a
local transportation company and permits the prop-
erties of a railroad company to be held as well as
those of a street car company. This new company
contemplates the operation of railroads, street rail-
ways, subways and motorbus lines and any other
transportation facilities.

To the law legalizing the formation of corpora-
tions for profit in this state, another bill adds
amendments which provide that "corporations may
be organized hereunder for the purpose of acquiring,
constructing, establishing and maintaining and oper-
ating a unified local transportation system compris-
ing both street railways and railroads, and may also
comprise motor vehicles and other local transporta-
tion facilities, the major portion of which system
is or is to be located within, or the major portion of
the service of which system is or is to be furnished
to the inhabitants of, any city in this state having a
population of 500,000 or more, and which system is
to be used mainly for the transportation of persons
in such city and in adjacent and suburban territory
within the metropolitan area as hereainfter de-
scribed".

The metropolitan area is defined as all the terri-
tory within 30' miles of the corporate limits of the
city, and the new corporation is prohibited from
owning or operating transit facilities outside of that
area. It cannot occupy any streets without the con-
sent of any city affected and cannot operate without
the approval of the transit commission.

In addition to the powers given other corporations,
this new corporation is given the power to construct
and establish street railways, railroads, motorbus
lines and other local transportation facilities. It is
given the power to acquire by purchase, lease or
otherwise all or any part of the property of existing
transit companies. It may also own and hold any
or all of the capital stock of such transit companies.
It is given the authority to equip, maintain and
operate the properties acquired. Still another power
conferred is to construct or buy extensions and addi-
tions to existing lines and to operate and maintain
them. It is given the power to construct, own and
operate subways; and it can sell any or all of its
property to a corporation authorized and empowered
to buy.

Still another bill amends the railroad act permit-
ting a railroad, — which means the Elevated lines in
this case, — to sell out to a unified transportation
company.

It is obvious that the foregoing bills give the city
broad and comprehensive powers. Under these bills
the traction problem may be approached from sev-

eral different angles, but your committee is firmly
of the opinion that there is only one sound basis
for a proper solution. There is only one foundation
for the building of a transportation system that will
meet the present needs, to say nothing of the future
needs, of this rapidly growing metropolis, and that is
a unified comprehensive system which will provide
service at cost, under efficient management far-
sighted enough to expand and extend facilities to
meet the ever-increasing needs of Chicago. The
public should build for the future with visions of
the great metropolis to be and should press forward
for immediate action keeping ever in the foreground
the World's Fair of 1933. The first step toward this
accomplishment is the passage of the proposed leg-
islation. That can only be accomplished if we pre-
sent a united front, in substantial agreement as to
every important detail, to the legislature at its pres-
ent session.

All of which is most respectfully submitted.

Opinion of Walter L. Fisher to Hon. James H.
Wilkerson Relative to Certain Proposed
Legislation Concerning Chicago
Transportation.

March 19. 1929.

Hon. James H. Wilkerson, U. S. District Judge, Chi-
cago, Illinois:

Dear Sir — At your request I have examined a
series of six bills presented to me by the Citizens'
Traction Settlement Committee appointed bv you.
They are the results of extended conferences by
counsel for the committee with counsel representing
the Local Transportation Committee of the City
Council of tHe City of Chicago and counsel repre-
senting the local street railway, elevated railroad
and motorbus interests. These bills are intended to
embody the legislation necessary to enable the City
of Chicago to work out its local transportation prob-
lem along the lines covered by the report of the
Citizens' Traction Settlement Committee dated Feb-
ruary 25, 1929, if the City wishes to do this and is
able to reach mutually acceptable agreements with
the private interests involved. You ask me for my
opinion as to the validity of these bills and as to
their adequacy for the purpose intended.

The bills may be described in substance as fol-
lows :

1. A bill authorizing terminable or indeterminate
permits or licenses for local transportation purposes.

2. A bill providing for local transit commissions
having jurisdiction over local transportation utilities
in cities having a population of 500,000 or more.

3. A bill providing for a new class of cor-
porations to be organized under the General Incor-
poration Act, but with authority io acquire and
operate railroads (of the character of the Chicago
Elevated Railroads) as well as street railroads and
other local transportation facilities.

4. A bill providing for additional legislation with
respect to subways.

5. A bill to amend the Cities and Villages Act so
that the limit of twenty years for permits for horse
and electric railroads shall not apply to permits
authorized by other statutes, such as the proposed
Terminable Permit Act and so that frontage con-
sents shall not be required for tracks in subways and
on streets in which tracks are already laid.

6. A bill authorizing a railroad company to sell
or lease all or any part of its railroad or property
to any corporation having authority to make such a
purchase or lease (including such a corporation as
is authorized by bill No. 3 amending the General
Corporation Act).

These bills all relate to a field in which the law
is only partially developed. There are no authorita-
tive decisions squarely in point as to a number of
the important questions involved. Opinions, there-
fore, cannot in these instances be based upon precise
precedents.. Nevertheless, the general principles have
already been indicated to a considerable extent in
decisions already rendered. Applying these prin-
ciples, I have reached the following conclusions.

Bill No. 1 (Terminable Permit Bill) authorizes
any municipality in this State to grant a permit or
license to the local transportation agencies specified
in the act to occupy the streets, public ways and
public grounds of such municipality for an inde-
terminate or terminable period. The grant may be
made without limiting or fixing any time for its
duration, but "shall" reserve to the municipality the
right or option to purchase and take over the local
transportation properties of the grantee provided for
in the grant at the time or times and at the price
and upon the terms to be stated or provided for in
the grant. The grant "may" reserve the right of
purchase by a permittee of the municipality upon
the same or dilferent terms (to be stated in the
grant) than those upon which the municipality may
purchase. No such terminable permit or license
shall become effective until approved on a refer-
endum vote. The bill provides that in addition to
the provisions as to purchase by the municipality
or its permittee a terminable permit may contain
any other terms and conditions not contrai^^ to or
inconsistent with the act or with the lawful exercise
of the power of the state to regulate public utilities,
and such terms and conditions may be enforced by
injunction, mandamus or other appropriate proceed-
ings. Among these terms and conditions are ex-
pressly mentioned "reasonable provisions for speci-
fied extensions and additions to lines and facilities,
the retirement of investment by amortization or
otherwise, or for compensation for the use of public
property computed either by some proportion of the
receipts from the operation of the property of the
grantee or otherwise". It is fundamental" law in
this State that the legislature itself cannot deprive
the State of its police powers, among which is the
power to regulate public utilities. There is, how-
ever, authority to support a limited delegation of
this power to a municipality within reasonable
limitations, where (he municipality by ordinance
maikes a contract with a public utility corporation.

SPECIAL MEETING

ditions above quoted from the proposed bill give to
the City as much power over such matters as can
be granted without unlawful impairment of the
police power of the State. As the provisions must
be reasonable and will be effective only if and when
the terminable permit ordinance providing for them
has been accepted by the grantee, adequate pro-
tection is provided for the investors. It is my
opinion that this Terminable Permit Bill is con-
stitutionally valid and that it is reasonably adequate
for the accomplishment of its intended purpose.

Bill No. 2, the Home Rule Commission Bill, pro-
vides for transferring to a local transit commission
appointed by the Mayor, with the approval of the
City Council, the jurisdiction now exercised by the
Illinois Commerce Commission with respect to the
regulation of local transportation facilities whose
lines or service are chiefly within a metropolitan
city (having a population of 500,000 or more) but
which may incidentally extend outside of such city
within a metropolitan area extending not more than
thirty miles beyond the City limits, such jurisdiction
to be transferred, however, only when a terminable
permit for a comprehensive unified local trans-
portation system has become effective. The Con-
stitution of Illinois, Article IV, Section 22, prohibits
the General Assembly from passing "local or special
laws" for certain enumerated purposes, among w^hich
are laws "incorporating cities, towns or villages or
changing or amending the charter of any town, city
or village". The Supreme Court of Illinois has held
that these provisions do not prohibit legislation
applicable only to particular classes of municipalities
or to particular subjects under classifications having
reasonable justification in actual differences of con-
ditions, and that differences in population do for
certain purposes form a proper basis for classifi-
cation. Just where the court in a given case will
draw the line betw-een general and special legis-
lation cannot be forecast with exactness and cer-
tainty. I shall not undertake to review and analyze
in this opinion the various decisions already ren-
dered. As a general principle, however, it seems
clear that the court will sustain as constitutionally
valid a law general in its terms and based upon the
recognition of any difference of population or sub-
ject matter which has a real relation to the purpose
and effect of the particular legislation, and that a
classification which is not of this character will be
rejected as "special" legislation within the meaning
of the constitutional prohibitions.

The rule is thus stated:

"It is settled that it does not require an absolute
uniformity in legislation relating to municipalities,
but only a uniformity as to those municipalities
which are for the purposes of the particular lav,'
in question, similarly situated. That is, the law
must not discriminate between cities where, as far
:as the subject matter of the statute is concerned,
conditions and circumstances are substantially the
same, but it need not apply to other cities where
they are substantially different. To put it con-
cisely, classification is permissible. The legis-
lature may extend special privileges to, or lay
special restrictions upon, cities conforming to a
description set forth in a statute, and exclude
other cities from the application of the act, and
if the classification is 'reasonably related' to the
purpose of the law, it is not 'special legislation'
within the meaning of the constitutional prohi-
bition. * * * The general rule is that the
classification must be based on a rational dif-
ference of situation or condition found in the
municipalities placed in the different classes, and

there must be a reasonable relation between the
classification and the legislative purpose sought
to be accomplished, but note that classification is
primarily for the legislative department, and can
become a judicial question only when the action
of the legislature is clearly unreasonable, arbitrary
and discriminatory, and that all reasonable doubts
are resolved in favor of the validity of the classifi-
cation."

Albert R. EUingwood of Northwestern University

In my opinion, a statute providing for a separate
commission having jurisdiction over the regulation
of local transportation utilities within a metro-
politan city of more than 500,000 inhabitants would
be constitutionally valid. The legislature is vested
with the entire legislative power of the State, sub-
ject only to such restrictions and limitations as may
be contained in the State Constitution. See Nielsen
V. Chicago, 330 111. 301, 309. There is no restriction
in the constitution which cither in terms or by
necessary implication prohibits the legislature from
providing more than one commission to regulate
public utilities if in the judgment of the legislature
this is desirable for administrative or other con-
siderations. Article IV of the present act under
which the Illinois Commerce Commission functions
provides that upon its adoption by any city by a
referendum vote such city may exercise many of the
powers otherwise conferred upon the Illinois Com-
merce Commission, which, however, is given power
to review the action of the city. In New York there
is a state commission having general jurisdiction
throughout the state and a separate commission
having jurisdiction over New York City and its
metropolitan area. I see no constitutional objection
to a statute providing for several commissions to
have jurisdiction over separate geographical divi-
sions of the state, particularly if the geogi'aphical
divisions are based upon real differences of con-
ditions, such as undoubtedly exist with respect to
metropolitan areas as compared with less thickly
populated areas. There are many reasons why a
separate commission to regulate public utilities in a
metropolitan area may furnish more efficient regu-
lation than if this were left to the jurisdiction of a
state commission entrusted with the regulation of
public utilities in general throughout the state.

In the recent case of Chicago Motor Coach Com-
pany vs. Chicago, decided February 20, 1929, the
Supreme Court said :

"The City is charged with the duty to regulate
the use of the streets, and no reason appears why
the question as to what agency not having the
natural right ot use the streets may do so, should
not be determined by the City. No reason appears
why that power should be taken from the City
Council, charged with direct responsibility to the
people of the City, and placed in the hands of a
body not so directly responsible and without equal
opportunity of knowing the conditions in such
City. The streets are for the use of all of the
people of the State only so long as that use is one
which the public at large has a right to make of
the streets as public highways. Beyond that use
the City is responsible to its own citizens, as well
as to the public, as trustee of the streets. Whether
a public utility is to be given use of the streets
and what streets it shall use, are matters which
the City Council, by reason of its proximity to and

4812

knowledge of traffic conditions, as well as of the
character, kind and cost of pavement, is in a bet-
ter position to determine than the commission.
This is true whether the utility is to operate
wholly within or partly within and partly with-
out the City. No reason appears why the com-
mission should not require that the utility first
secure the consent of the City to use the streets
in which it desires to conduct its utility business."

While this language was used with respect to the
power of the city to permit or deny the use of the
streets by a public utility, there is a recognition of
the value of local familiarity with traffic conditions,
which IS equally relevant to a local transit com-
mission entrusted with the reg-ulation of public
utilities after the city council has granted a permit
for the use of the streets.

It seems equally clear that the legislature may, if
it deems advisable, entrust the regulation of public
utilities of one class to one commission and the
regulation of public utilities of a different class to
another commission. If the legislature deems it
advisable to have one commission for the regulation
of transportation utilities and another commission
having jurisdiction over public utilities furnishing
heat, hg-ht and power, there is no constitutional
inhibition to prevent such legislation. The Supreme
Court of this State has repeatedly sustained statutes
dependent upon the classification of municipalities
m accordance with population, and the differences
between the local transportation problem as it arises
m a metropolitan area as contrasted with other areas
less thickly populated seem so evident as to justify
tully this statutory treatment. In the dense popu-
lation and concentrated commercial and industrial
activity of a great city the local transportation serv-
ice has an importance far greater than in less thickly
populated areas. Adequate local transportation is a
vital necessity in such a city. Upon it the whole
lile of the community depends. In making the
proposed act applicable only to cities havin- a
population of 500,000 or more, there would seem to
be a greater justification for this classification than
has existed in other statutes already sustained by
our Supreme Court. Nor is there anything in the
tetate Constitution which in my opinion prevents the
egislature from providing for the -appointment of
the members of such a local commission through the
instrumentality of the mayor and city council of the
metropohtan city directly concerned. Section 10 of
Article V of tne Constitution of Illinois provides that
the Governor shall appoint all officers whose offices
are established by tlic Constitution" or which "may
be created by law and whose appointment or election
IS not otherwise provided for". Such a locnl transit
^Tm-T'^J'/'J' contemplated by this bill is not
established by the constitution, and the appointment
ot Its members would under the proposed act be
otherwise provided for" than by the Governor of
tne btate. In People vs. Evans, 247 111 547 the "-en-
eral question here involved was discussed bv^the
Supreme Court, and it was held

"that if an office be created bv the legislature in
a method otherwise than by nomination and
appointment by the Governor to fill such an office
as provided for by law, such law would not be
subject to constitutional objeclion on (ho ground'
that the legislature had fleprived the Governor of
a part of his appointing i)owcr."

The statute there in question was the ,acf provid-
ing for the appointment by county judges of "miners'
examining boards" for their respective counties.

The fact that the local transit commission pro-

vided for in this bill would exercise jurisdiction over
local transportation facilities which extend outside
the municipal limits into the metropolitan area for a
distance of not more than thirty miles, provided the
major portion of such facilities lie within the metro-
politan city or the major portion of the service is
performed within the metropolitan city, does not in
my opinion render the bill unconstitutional although
the precise point has never been decided. The pro-
vision seems to be inherently necessary if the exist-
ing surface and elevated lines in Chicago are to be
unified and treated as a single system. The present
elevated system already extends for short distances
beyond the city limits, and neither the city nor the
companies would be satisfied to accept either regu-
lation or the right to purchase which stopped at the
city limits. It seems altogether in the interests of
both the city and the outlying metropolitan area
that future extensions of facilities and service may
be brought within the unified system. The extension
and improvement of suburban transportation will
doubtless be facilitated by such treatment. While
the members of the commission will be appointed by
the mayor of the metropolitan city, the commission
will function as an agency of the State. No power
whatever is given either to the metropolitan city or
to the local transit commission over the streets
highways or public grounds of the outlying com-
munities. Only with the consent of these com-
munities and to the extent of that consent can the
outlying streets, highways or public grounds be
occupied. For purposes of regulation of its local
transportation facilities the metropolitan area is
essentially a unit. Numerous statutes in this State
now provide not only that municipalities may extend
then- municipal facilities outside their corporate
limits but that they may exercise police powers out-
side the municipal limits. iSee Illinois statutes
Chapter 42, Sections 163 and 203. See, with respect
to drainage and sanitary districts, Illinois Statutes
Chapter 42, Sections 163, 204, 277, 278 300 3^4
334, 343, 364 and 368. The Cities and Villages Act'
Chapter 24, Section 47, provides that

"The city council and board of trustees shall also
have jurisdiction in and over all places within
one-half mile of the city or village limits for the
purpose of enforcing health and quarantine ordi-
nances and regulations thereof."

Cities are given power to acquire sources of water
supply and outlets for sewers bevond their munici-
pal limits, and Section 237 of the Cities and VillaKes
Act of 1872 provides that

"For the purpose of establishing or supplying
water w^orks. any city or village mav go beyond
its territorial limits and may take, liold and ac-
quire property by purchase or otherwise; * * *
and the jurisdiction of the city or village to pre-
vent or punish any pollution or injury to the
stream or source of water or to such water works
shall extend five miles beyond its corporate limits
or so far as such water works may extend."

Bill No. 2, however, raises certain questions of
constitutional law, the answers to which are not
equally clear. The bill provides that the creation
ot a special commission of the character described
shall depend upon the taking etTect of an ordinance
of the metropolitan city granting a terminable per-
mit or license for a comprehensive unified local
Iransportation system, which is defined to be a sys-
tem embracing all of the street railways and all" of
(ho local railroads engaged in furnishing local (rans-
porlation facilities and service within the munici-
pality. The question that arises is whether a bill

March 26, 1929.

SPECIAL MEETING

4813

so drafted violates the provision of the Constitution
of Illinois (above quoted) prohibiting special legis-
lation; in other words, whether it be constitutionally
valid to distinguish between cities granting termi-
nable permits for comprehensive unified local trans-
portation systems and cities which do not make such
grants. It is urged that this is not a bill "incor-
porating cities, to\ras or villages, or changing or
amending the charter of any town, city or village",
and that, therefore, the prohibition against special
legislation does not apply. No decision in support
of this contention is available, and as the bill con-
fers upon the mayor and I'ity council the new power
to appoint the members of the local transit com-
mission, there can be no assurance that it will not
be held to change or amend the charter of the city
and thus be subject to the requirement that it must
not have the character of "special legislation". It
is suggested that the classification of cities involved
in this bill can be justified, first, because there is
greater need and appropriateness for the informed
and efficient i^egulation of local transportation
utilities by a commission having no other juris-
diction where the municipality has the reserved
right of purchase and where the grant can be
terminated only upon the exercise of such right by
the city or its permittee; and, second, because there
is greater need and justification for a local com-
mission to regulate local transportation in a metro-
politan area if the street railways and local railroads
in such an area are combined into one system, thus
in effect establishing the principle of regulated
monopoly in local transportation service. The diffi-
culty with the first contention is that it is equally
possible for the city to reserve a right of purchase
in a term grant (which was done in the ordinances
of 1907) as in an indeterminate or terminable grant,
although the protection of this right of purchase
may be more important in a grant which may run
indefinitely, and this may furnish a distinction
justifying the more efficient regulation that may be
expected from a local commission over those mat-
ters which affect the reserved right of purchase.
There appears to be more force in the second sug-
gestion, but in the present undeveloped state of the
law upon this subject I cannot express the firm
opinion that a bill will be held to be constitutionally
valid if it gives a local commission to a city that
grants a terminable permit for a comprehensive
unified local transportation system and refuses such
a commission to a city whose local transportation
utilities are similarly situated in all respects except
that while they are unified they are not operating
under a terminable permit or while they are operat-
ing under a terminable permit they are not unified.
I believe that if the provisions now under con-
sideration are to remain in the bill its constitution-
ality is subject to greater doubt that if the creation
of the local commission did not depend upon either
the granting of the terminable permit or the appli-
cation of such a permit to a comprehensive unified
local transportation system. It is my opinion that
if requirement of a terminable permit as a condition
to the creation of a local transit commission in and
for any city having a population of 500,000 or more
upon the enactment of an appropriate ordinance is
omitted from the bill (even if the requirement of a
comprehensive unified local transportation system is
retained), the constitutional validity of the bill will
be less open to attack, and that it should be sus-
tained under the principles correctly stated in the
quotation given above from the Illinois Law Review,

"that classification is primarily for the legislative
department, and can become a judicial question
only when the action of the legislature is clearly

unreasonable, arbitrary and discriminatory, and
that all reasonable doubts are resolved in favor of
the validity of the classification."

Bill No. 3 is made necessary by the fact that in
Illinois railroads are organized under a General Act
relating to railroads alone, whereas street railways
are organized under the General Corporation Act.
If a unified local transportation system is to be
owned and operated by one company, a new kind of
corporation must be created having power to own
and operate both railroads and street railways. The
subject is highly technical and a detailed analysis of
this bill does not seem necessary here. It is my
opinion that upon the whole the bill as drafted is
constitutionally valid and reasonably adequate for
the purpose intended.

Bill No. 4 confers upon cities additional powers
which are thought to be necessary or desirable in
connection with subways. The purpose and effect of
its provisions are fairly evident on the face of the
bill. It authorizes the construction of subways by
special assessment to the extent that this can be
done under the Constitution, and this in my opinion
depends almost entirely upon the character of the
subway which is in fact to be constructed. Under
the State Constitution special assessments can be
levied only "for local improvements", and whether
a subway is in fact a "local" improvement depends
upon what kind of a subway it is. At all events, the
bill as drafted gives all jiie additional power which
can be given by statute with respect to the levying
of special assessments to cover the whole or any part
of the cost of subway construction. The bill au-
thorizes the use of the city's traction fund or other
available moneys for the building of subways, and
authorizes the issuance of general municipal bonds,
subject, of course, to the constitutional limitation
of indebtedness. The bill also authorizes bonds or
special certificates payable solely out of the revenues
derived from^ subways constructed or acquired by
the expenditure of the proceeds of such bonds or
special certificates. The practicability of this last
mentioned provision will be materially affected by
the details involved in the construction and in the
use of the subways. The provisions with respect to
removal and relocation of public utilities in the
streets in which the subways are constructed are
subject to the obligation of reasonableness which
any dissatisfied utility company can have determined
by appropriate judicial proceedings. The bill as
drafted is in my opinion a constitutionally valid bill
and reasonably adequate for the purposes intended.

Bill No. 5 is necessary in order to make it possible
by appropriate legislation to provide for terminable
permits, and does not change the present limit of
twenty years with respect to term grants. In my
opinion the bill is constitutionally valid and ade-
quate for the purpose intended.

Bill No. 6 is designed to remove doubt as to the
power of a railroad company to sell or lease the
whole or any part of its property to a corporation
which is not organized under the General Railroad
Act. In my opinion it is constitutionally valid and
adequate for this purpose.

Supplemental Report of the Citizens' Traction
Settlement Committee.

The Citizens' Traction Settlement Comifittee, ap-

4814

JOURNAL— CITY COUNCIL.

March 26, 1929.

pointed by Federal Judge Wilkerson to aid in a
transit solution, begs to report on your specific re-
quest of last Saturday, as follows:

You desire that the Cities and Villages Act be
amended so that street car grants may be made for
forty (40) years, instead of twenty (20) years, a? at
present. You asked our mediation with the com-
panies to obtain their approval of that proposed
change.

Our committee immediately undertook that task
Saturday, and continued working diligently yester-
day and today. The comipanies declined to assent
to your request. The text of their statement of
refusal, expressing their views upon fixed term
franchises together with reasons therefor, is submit-
ted herewith. Despite the definite tone of their
statement our committee has made an effort to ob-
tain its modification, since receipt, as well as to
ascertain — if possible — whether the statement of the
companies contained their final word on this phase
of enabling legislation. We believe now that we
will be unable to change the views of the companies.

With no desire or intention to influence the ac-
tion of your committee, but for the sole purpose of
attempting to be further helpful, may some sug-
gestions and comments be added? '

After three months of persistent effort, the Citi-
zens' Traction Settlement Committee has presented
to you six bills on which an accord has been ob-
tained on the part of the representatives of the
companies, the legal representatives of the city,
of the Citizens' Traction Settlement Committee and
also of the special counsel for Judge Wilkerson.
That agreement has been extremely difficult to ob-
tain. It required much more time than our com-
mittee estimated would be necessary before the work
was started.

While there is a complete accord on the six bills,
it does not represent an enthusiastic agreement.
Accurately stated, one interest has hesitantly as-
sented, another ^has grudgingly agreed, and so on
until the whole may be properly described as a re-
luctant agreement. Our committee has attempted to
obtain the m^aximum of concessions for every factor
in the situation.

Our committee believes that it has closely ap-
proached that point, if it has not actually reached
it.

If your committee on local transportation still
deems it imperative, to the acquisition of a com-
prehensive ui)ified transportation system for Chicago
and suburbs, that the city must have the power to
grant a forty (40) year fixed term franchise; then
the best judgment of our committee is as follows:

The agreed amendments to the Cities and Villages
act provide for a 20-year fixed term franchise, ex-
cept as otherwise provided by law. The words
"except as otherwise provided by law" permit offer-
ing a terminable franchise bill. A terminable fran-
chise bill is part of the proposed legislative transit
program. It is in the form of a separate bill. The
agreed proviso, to the Citizes and Villages Act, allows
llhat still another separate bill may be offered.

If you decide it is essential to present to the
general assembly a seventh bill, for a fixed term
grant not exceeding 40 years, with a referendum
requirement for any fixed term grant in oxcc.sh of
20 years and containing any other condition you con-
sider wise, it can he recommended by your commit-
tee and the City Council; and the Citizens' Traction
Settlem^jnt Committee will not oppose it.

May it be emphatically repeated that our com-
mittee earnestly desires that the city shall have
every needed power to obtain the comprehensive
transit system which metropolitan Chicago must
have to grow and' develop. Therefore, our commit-
tee will not oppose such a bill, if your committee
and the City Council decide that such a bill is an
e.ssential means to deal with the transportation
situation.

Our committee, however, believes that it is highly
advantageous that it be stated distinctly to the leg-
islators that we present only six agreed bills and
that the seventh bill represents the desire of the city,
and not the companies. This suggestion is made
because it would be very unfortunate if there were
any misunderstanding upon the six agreed bills and
they should fail because of that misunderstanding.
This idea is emphasized because every responsible
source of information has advised us that any hope
of obtaining enabling legislation lies in a sub-
stantial agreement upon every important feature of
it. as recited in our report to you last Friday.

Our committee is willing to co-operate in every
way but is strongly of the opinion that the agreed
bills and the submitted program of legislation should
not be disturbed by request for other legislation at
this time. Our committee desires to state further
that it is of the opinion that any power that the city
desires or needs and which the city thinks it will
obtain under an extension of the period for a fixed
term grant from 20-years to 40-years can be ob-
tained more economically and with greater certainty
and facility under a terminable permit grant. This
can be accomplished by incorporating in the ordi-
nance provisions for the amortization of the invest-
ment which will automatically terminate the grant
within such period of time as the City Council may
determine.

With a still further desire to be of any assistance
we can render, the citizens' committee awaits your
pleasure.

Statement of Position of "The Compaiiiie.s" Concern-
ing a Fixed-term Grant.

1. We reiterate the statement we have frequently
made: The companies have repeatedly stated that
they were not interested in a term grant for the
consolidated traction system, and understood that
was the viewpoint of the City Council, and are not
now considering any limited term grant as being
sutTicienf or proper for the proposed consolidated,
comprehensive transiiorf ation system for Chicago.

2. Students of public utility economics are gen-
erally in accord on the soundness of the principle
advocated by the Nalional Association of Railway
and Utilities Commissioners since 1922, and by the
section of the public utility law of the American Bar
Association since \9'2i, namely:

"Every fi-anchise hereafter gr,ant(>d by any
municipality to any i)uhlic utility shall have llie
clfect of a terminable i)(<nnit."

Such was the principle emho(li(>(l in one of the
drafts of proposed terminable permit bill considered

SPECIAL MEETING

and discussed with counsel for the Citizens' Traction
Settlement Committee, who persuaded us that even
though we were economically sound in the conten-
tion that "Every" grant should be a terminable per-
mit, we could not reasonably expect the legislature
to delete the provision for a term grant as it had
appeared on the statute books for many years.

3. Having assented to the views of the concili-
ators we carefully worked out the language of the
amendment to Clause 24 of Section One of Article
Five of the Cities and Villages Act, so that said
clause will continue to read precisely as it has read
for many years, but with the following words added
thereto, namely :

"Except as otherwise expressly authorized by
any law of this state now or hereafter in force.''

4. The language thus added to Clause 24, namely:

"Except as otherwise expressly authorized by
any law of this state now or hereafter in force."

will render valid a separate law "expressly author-
izing" a terminable permit. It will also make valid
a separate law "expressly authorizing" such term
grants as the advocates of any kind of fixed term
grants may be able to persuade the legislature is
sound. We are not among such advocates.

5. Two years ago some advocates of term grants
proposed to the Illinois Legislature that Clause 24th
be amended so that the same should read as follows :

"Twenty-fourth. To permit, regulate or pro-
hibit the locating, constructing or laying a track
of any horse or electric railroad in any street,
alley or public place : Provided, however, that no
such permission for an indefinite time or for a
longer time than twenty (20) years shall become
operative or effective until an ordinance of the
City Council providing therefor has been duly
passed and submitted to the electors of such city
and approved by a majority of those voting there-
on, but no such permission for a fixed term shall
extend for a time in excess of forty (40) years."

At that time those whom we represent expressed
their belief that support by them of any such change
in said Clause 24th would lend color to the claim that
they, or some of them, were believers in the proposi-
tion that "enlarged term grants" were economically
sound or were adequate to meet Chicago's demand
for a unified comprehensive system. They did not
then and do not now believe that periodical bargain-
ing is a proper substitute for continuous regulation
and any such change at this time from the wording
heretofore agreed upon as to the one change in
Clause 24th, namely, the addition of the words :

"Except as otherwise expressly authorized by
any law of this state now or hereafter in force."
will destroy the foundation on which the agreed
legislative program has been worked out.

6. If advocates of some particular kind or kinds
of long-term grants (with or without referendum)
wish to submit some separate bill or bills "expressly
authorizing" the particular kind or kinds of term
grants which they believe in, then there is nothing
in the six bills which will prevent such advocates
from presenting such separate bill or bills.

But we cannot assent to any change in the Cities
and Villages Act or in any one of the other six
agreed bills in such manner as would furnish any
basis for any claim that we are advocates of or
believers in an enlargement of term grants as either
sound or sufficient for the creation of the compre-
hensive system contemplated.

The six bills constitute a complete program for a
settlement of the Chicago Transportation Problem.
They are closely interwoven in the provisions so
as to completely cover the situation. After months
of negotiations and the reconciliation of many views
the bills have been agreed to by the several trans-
portation companies and approved by the Citizens'
Committee. The Chairmen of the Local Transpor-
tation Committee and Sub-Committee have expressed
their public approval of these bills. As they stand
they have been approved as to their legality and
adequacy by Walter L. Fisher, special legal adviser
to United States Judge Wilkerson, the attorneys for
the Citizens' Committee and the attorneys for the
City of Chicago. Any change will bring new issues
and inevitably cause serious delay.

Opinion of the City's Legal Counsel Concerning the
C<>nstitutionaiity of Proposed Legislation.

TjAW Dep.artment,]
Chicago, March 26. 1929.1

Hon. Joseph B. McDonough, Chairman, Local Trans-
portation Committee of the City Council of the
City of Chicago:

Dear Sir — At your request, we, the undersigned,
submit herewith our opinion as to the proposed trac-
tion bills which have been recommended by your
committee for favorable action on the part of the
City Council.

Six of these bills, known as the agreed bills, bound
in pamphlet form, and numbered respectively one to
six, inclusive, are in substance as follows :

No. 1 — Known in your committee as the Ter-
minable Permit Bill;

No. 2 — The Local Transit Commission Bill;

No. 3 — An amendment to the General Incor-
poration Act;

No. 4— The Subway Bill;

No. 5 — An amendment to the Cities and Villages
Act, paragraphs 24 and 90, Section 1, Article V.

Paragraph 24, which forbids any city or village
to grant a permit to any horse, electric, or street
railroad for a longer period than twenty years,
has been amended by adding the following words :
"except as otherwise expressly authorized by any
law of this State now or hereafter in force." These
added words are necessary in order that the law
in relation to a terminable permit or a forty-
year grant may be authorized by separate bills.

Paragraph 90 is known as the Frontage Consent
Provision of this section of the Cities and Vil-
lages Act. At present, the law prevents any
steam, dummy, cable, horse, or other railroad
company, however incorporated, from laying
tracks in any street of a city or village without
the consent of more than one-half of the prop-
erty fronting upon such street. The following

across any street, alley or public place ol' the city
or village in whicli any such railroad track is al-
ready laid at the time ot making such grant," in
order that the city may authorize such tracks to
be laid in a tunnel or subway beneath the surface
of the street without such frontage consents.

The sixth bill is an amendment to the railroad
Act of the State, the purpose being to authorize the
elevated railroad to sell its property to the unified
railroad corporation provided for by amendment to
the Corporation Act.

Tlie seventh bill, known as the Cities' Bill is for
the purpose of authorizing a city to grant a license
to a horse or electric railroad for a term not ex-
ceeding forty years, with a provision that if the
grant is for more than twenty years it shall not be
effective until submitted to the usual referendum
and approved by a majority of the electors voting
upon the same of any such city. The provisions of
this bill will necessarily be construed in harmony
with paragraph 24 of bill No. 5, and will not be in
conflict therewith.

It has long been recognized as the law of this
State that the legislature may pass any law not in
conflict with the constitution of the State of Illinois
or the constitution of the United States.

Sherman v. The People, 210 111. 552.
People V. Chetlain, 219 111. 248.

All of these decisions have been referred to with
approval in the leading case of People v. Evans, 247

We have carefully examined all of the proposed
bills in the light of these authorities, and have
reached the conclusion that all are constitutional,
and that all are adequate to fulfill the purposes ex-
pressed therein.

Statement of Reasons for the Removal of Louis J.
Meyers from the Office of Member of the
Board of Appeals.

, The Mayor submitted the following communication,
which was ordered published and placed on file:

Office of the Mayor,]
Chicago, iMarch 28, 1929.|

To the Honorable, the City Council of the City of
Chicago:

Gentlemen — I desire to advise Your Honorable
Body that on February 11, 1929, I received the fol-
lowing communication from the Chairman of the
Board of Appeals :

"February 11, 1929.

"Hon. William Hale Thompson, Mayor of the City
of Chicago:

Dear Sir — I desire to advise you that Mr. Louis
J. Meyers, a member of the Board of Appeals, has
absented himself from the regular meetings of the
Board of Appeals held on the following dates dur-
ing the year of 1929:

January 8,

January 15,

January 22,

January 29,

February 5,

and a special meeting held on February 8, 1929.

Under the law, the Board of Appeals consists of
five members, and it is expressly provided by
statute that no resolution of any character or de-
scription can be legally passed by the Board of
Appeals without the aflfirmative vote of at least
four members. The continued absence of any one
member of the Board of Appeals for any extended
period is highly prejudicial to the proper and the
efficient discharge of the duties and functions im-
posed by law upon the Board of Appeals, and con-
stitutes such neglect of duty on tlie part of any
such member of the Board of Appeals as to cause
me to feel it incumbent upon me as the Ciiairman
of the Board of Appeals to ofRcially communicate
these facts to you so that you may take sucli
action in the matter as you may determine.

Yours truly,

(Signed) Eva H. Hamilton,

Chairman, Board of Appeals."

On March 9, 1929, I caused the following notice to
be mailed to Louis J. Meyers:

"March 9, 1929.

"Hon. Louis ,/. Meyers, 38i)9 West Jackson Boulr-
vard, Chicago, Illinois:

Dear Sir — 'ConiplainI, has been filed with ine that

you have failed to attend five successive regular
meetings and one special meeting of the Board of
Appeals held during the months of January and
February, 1929, and that such failure on your part
to attend the said meetings has prevented the
Board of Appeals from discharging the duties im-
posed upon it by law, and has produced a con-
dition highly prejudicial to the proper and
efficient discharge of the duties and functions im-
posed by law upon the Board of Appeals.

You are therefore notified to appear at a public
hearing to be held at the office of the Mayor of the
City of Chicago, Room 507 City Hall, on March 14,
1929, at 3:30 P. M., and show cause, if any you
have, why you should not be removed from the
offlice of member of the Board of Appeals of the
City of Chicago.

Yours truly,
(Signed) Wm. Hale Thompson,

Mayor."

On March 14, 1929, at 3:30 P. M., in compliance
with the terms and provisions of the Statutes of the
State of Illinois a public hearing was conducted by
me, and testimony taken under oath, on the said
14th day of March, which hearing was recessed until
the 18th day of March at 1 :30 P. M.

From the sworn testimony presented to me, it was
conclusively proven that the said Louis J. Meyers
had failed to attend the regular meetings of the
Board of Appeals held during the year of 1929 on the
following dates:

January 8, 15, 22, 29, February 5, 19, 26, March
5 and March 12, and two special meetings held on
February 8 and March 1, 1929.

Under the State law the vote of four members of
the Board of Appeals is necessary to make a variation
or adopt any resolution or decide any appeal taken
from the Commissioner of Buildings.

The continued absence of any one member of the
Board of Appeals from the meetings is necessarily
highly prejudicial to the proper and efficient dis-
charge of the duties and functions imposed by law
upon the Board of Appeals.

The failure of the Board of Appeals to be able to
function on account of lack of attendance of a mem-
ber must necessarily impose great hardship and
often financial loss upon citizens who have matters
pending before the Board of Appeals.

Therefore, I, William Hale Thompson, Mayor of
the City of Chicago, by virtue of the power and
authority conferred upon me by law, do hereby
advise Your Honorable Body that on the said 18th
day of February, A. D. 1929, for the reasons above
set forth, I removed the said Louis J. Meyers from
the office of member of the Board of Appeals for
neglect of duty resulting in the impairment of the
efiicient administration of the Zoning Law and the
prevention of the performance of the duties of other
members of the Board of Appeals.

Yours respectfully,

(Signed) Wm. Hale Thompson,

Mayor.

March 29, 1929.

sou presented an order providing for the closing of City

from the field of his earthly labors Joseph Petlak,
a member of this body representing the Thirty-third
Ward, who was beloved of his colleagues and friends
and respected by all who knew him either as a
public official or as a citizen; therefore, be it

Resolved, That we deplore the sudden and unfor-
tunate death of our associate, Joseph Petlak, and
deeply regret the loss which Chicago has sustained
by reason of his passing away; and, be it further

Resolved, That as a mark of respect and honor to
the memory of our deceased colleague the City Hall
be closed on Monday, April 1, 1929, the day of the

4848

funeral; and that the members of the City Council
and the heads of the departments of the City govern-
ment attend the funeral in a body; and, be it further

Resolved, That the Mayor appoint a suitable com-
mittee of members of the City Council to participate
in perfecting the funeral arrangements; and, be it
further

Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon
the records of the City Council, and that a copy of
same, properly engrossed, be prepared and forwarded
to the bereaved family as a testimonial of our heart-
felt sympathy.

Alderman Adamowski moved to adopt said resolu-
tion.

The motion prevailed unanimously by a rising vote.

Addresses to the memory of the late Alderman Petlak
were made by Aldermen Adamowski, Mills, Adamke-
wicz, Clark and Ringa.

tion, which was, together with copies of the Bills trans-
mitted therewith, referred to the Committee on
Judiciary and Special Assessments :

Department of Law,1
Chicago, March 21, 1929.]

To the Honorable, the City Council of the City of
Chicago:

Gentlemen — Since making our last report in re-
gard to the new bills presented in the General As-
sembly, the following have been introduced, which
• atfect the City of Chicago to a greater or less degree :

senate bills.

240. A bill in relation to the use of narcotics.
This only affects the City in so far as it may neces-
sitate modifying the regulations governing drug
stores.

244. This is a bill which amends the Child Labor
Act of 1903. Provision is made for vacation cer-
tificates and for permits to work outside of school
hours, and for the revocation of such permits and
certificates.

245. This is a bill which repeals the Cigarette
License Law of 1907, penalizes the sale of cigarettes
to minors and requires licenses of all retailers. It
will affect the City's revenue inasmuch as the City
now collects $100.00 from each cigarette dealer. This
would be taken away from it.

249. This is a bill which provides for the creation
of a commission for county planning, the intention
being to do regional planning along county lines. It
should be considered by the City's Zoning Commis-
sion in order that it may be ascertained whether it
affects the City's plans.

253. Chain Store Licensing Act. This is different
from the one that was before the Legislature for
some time and which we reported to you, in that it
exempts from the operation of the Act the City of
Chicago. We believe that it would be more desirable
to have the first act introduced become a law, and
will therefore make an effort to secure its passage
in preference to this.

254. This bill authorizes the Board of Commis-
sioners in Cook County to establish, maintain, ope-
rate and regulate airports or landing fields for air-
craft. It authorizes the County Board to acquire
land for this purpose by purchase, lease or con-
demnation and authorizes the levying of a tax of
25c on each $100.00 of assessed valuation.

255. Amendment to Automobile Law which pro-
vides for surety bonds from all owners of automo-
biles. At present such bonds are required only from
taxicabs.

258. This is an amendment of the Local Im-
provement Act that provides for deferring the time
of the delinquency of the 1929 special assessment.
It is designed to overcome the situation created by
the reassessment of real estate. Under the present
law all property would be delinquent before the
owners get their bills. There will be no change
after 1929 by this Act.

260. Authorizes cities and villages to .acquire
land by purchase, lease or condemnation for the es-
tablishment of aircraft landing fields and authorizes
the levying of a tax of one mill. This bill is the
same as the one introduced in the House which we
have already reported to you.

265. This provides for a slight change in the
method of computing taxes for county purposes. It
does not affect the City.-

267. This provides for a new method of levying
tax on net receipts of insurance companies. It is
designed to include associations of Lloyds, inter-
insurance associations, etc. which now escape the
tax.

2'69. This bill prohibits employers from requir-
ing or permitting employees to work more than six
days per week.

house bills.

374. County Municipal Hall Bill. This is de-
signed to remedy defects and invalid portions of the
bill passed several years ago in which the County
undertook to construct a municipal Hall.

376. This bill undertakes to define bakery pro-
ducts and regulates their sale. It may affect the
City's bakery regulations.

378. This is a bill for repealing the act which
authorizes the formation of the Illinois Police Re-
serves and other organizations of this character,
originally designed for the apprehension of horse
thieves but which have apparently outlived their
usefulness.

381. Uniform Motor Vehicle Anti-Theft Act. It
requires certificates of title for registered motor
vetiicles and notice of transfers, etc. The feature
about it that affects the City is that it will require
licenses for used car dealers. In this way it may
interfere with the City's regulations and licenses.

387. This is a new bill providing for a board of
estimates and apportionment. The old bill which
was tabled created the same kind of board but made
the board of review the board of estimates and ap-
portionment. Under the new act it is proposed to
name three members, one to be selected by the
Governor, one by the Supreme Court and one by the
Circuit Court.

388. This bill amends the Sidewalks Act of 1875,
and provides for a means of repairing or construct-
ing sidewalks with the consent of the abutting prop-
erty-owners.

• 390. This bill makes a slight change in the Mu-
nicipal Employees Pension Fund Act extending its
operation to employees of five years standing who
are not under the Civil Service.

395. This is another oil inspection act which is
designed to take the place of the oil inspection law
of 1915. It appears to be about the same as the one
that was introduced several weeks ago. It is desir-
able from a standpoint of the City inasmuch as it
removes doubt as to the right to inspect certain
classes of oils.

402. This is a bill for an act in relation to county
zoning. It appears to be substantially the same if
not entirely the same as the one mentioned above as
Senate Bill 249.

403. This bill proposes to put motion pictures
into the Public Utilities Act and make them a public
utility. It will take away the regulation of same
through the City's Board of Censorship and place the
regulation and control in the Illinois Commerce
Commission.

407. This requires a certificate of registration
from persons operating barber schools or colleges
before a person can practice as a barber. It amends
the Barber Act of 1909.

412. This bill makes a slight change in the
method of levying the county tax. It is the same as
Senate Bill No. 265.

413. This is an anti-daylight saving bill. It pre-

scribes central standard time and prohibits any city
or village or incorporated town from enacting any
law fixing any other time. It is aimed at Chicago
daylight saving ordinance.

414 Woman's eight hour bill amends present ten
hour law so as to provide for an eight hour day.

415. This bill amends the Local Improvement
Act so as to defer the time for delinquency of special
assessments for the year of 1929. It is the same as
Senate Bill No. 258.

In the Matter of the Valuation of the Elevated
Railroads Property.

The City Clerk presented the following communica-
tion, which was referred to the Committee on Finance:

Department of Law,]
Chicago, March 18, 1929.'j

To the Honorable, the City Council of the City of
Chicago: " '

Genti.emen— I have been (advised that at a hear-
ing of the case of the Chicago Rapid Transit Com-
?;r V'J ?nl'''"°/^ Commerce Commission et al. on
March 13, 1929, the Counsel for the Chicago Rapid
Transit Company stated that they expected to have
their engineers' appraisal -of the Companv's prop-
erties ready for introduction in evidence about Ap?il
thi P, • ^"^^ I ^™ advised that the Counsel for
PvfdPnnf^f wv?'"^ ^■^'"'^^ Company claim that the
evidence that they will present will fix the valuation

?nmnoi'''°^'''^-!?' '^^^ ^^icago Rapid Transit

company considerably higher than $139,000,000.00.

It is my opinion that if the City of Chicago is to
present its case properly it will be necessary for the
City to have engineers and real estate appraisers
maJie a valuation of the properties of the Elevated
Companies in order to be in a position to offset the
extravagant claims of the Chicago Rapid Transit
company, and also to have accountants prepare the
necessary data, summaries and exhibits showing
P^™cularly the actual money invested in the prop-
As you well know, the Illinois Commerce Com-
niission IS the original defendant in the present case
the suit -having been brought against the members
of the Commission, the Governor and the Attornev
General. The City of Chicago was not joined as a
delendant, but secured permission of the Federal
Court to intervene in order to protect the car-riders
and prevent the continuance of the 10-cent fare I
am informed, however, that the Illinois Commerce
Commission has taken practically no part in the
defense of the case, and that practically the entire
burden of the defense has been upon the City's
Counsel who have had to do the work of engineers
and accountants as well as that of lawyers Thev
have examined hundreds of documents and extracts
from the books and records, and by cross-exami-
nation ot the Company's witnesses have developed
sufhcient facts to warrant a further investigation of
its books and records.

Authority for Purchase of Rock Asphalt for Street
Repair Work, Etc.

Whereas, There have been in the past and at the
present time different grades of asphalt and con-
crete pavements laid upon the streets in the City
of Chicago which have proved to be of inferior
quality, disintegrating easily, and unsuitable for use
in this City, resulting in an unnecessary expense to
the taxpayer; and

Whereas, American rock asphalt has proved
satisfactory where laid on the streets and boule-
vards of a number of American cities, resulting in
smoothness and comfort in riding; and

Whereas, The Board of West Chicago Park Com-
missioners, after careful investigation, arrived at
the conclusion that American rock asphalt would be
the most satisfactory and economical type of street
paving, resurfacing and repair material, possessing
wearing qualities insuring long life to the pave-

moni and the resiliency required to withstand the
constant and steady hammer blows of moving- traffic;
and

Whereas, Experience has show that even in the
wettest weal her, regardless of how quick a stop is
made, an automobile will not skid on pavements laid
with rock asphalt, w-hile on streets laid with other
paving material an automobile will skid all over the
pavement and even cause a smash-up or loss of life
owing to the lack of control of the motor vehicle by
the driver; and

Whereas, Rock asphalt is not only used by the
West Park Board as paving material, but has also
been used by the Board of South Park Commis-
sioners in paving the famous outer drive in Grant
Park in the downtown section of Chicago which re-
ceives a very large amount of automobile trafiSc;
and

Whereas, Such rock asphalt has been laid on
Washington boulevard, Sacramento boulevard, and
Logan boulevard by the West Park Commissioners,
and has also been used by the ward repair forces in
the Bureau of Streets in cold-patching macadam,
brick, concrete and even sheet asphalt streets, with
results most beneficial to the City; therefore, be it

Ordered, That the Commissioner of Public Works
be and he is hereby directed to advertise for bids
and enter into contracts for the purchase of Amer-
ican rock asphalt as the standard and best kind of
pavement adapted for universal use for repair or
resurfacing work on the streets of the Citv of
Chicago.

In the flatter of the Safeguarding of Persons in
Attendance at Places of Public Assembly.

Whereas, One person was killed and thirty-eight
people were injured, according to police reports, as
the result of the panic among 9,000 people -at a
boxing bout and exhibition in the Coliseum last
Monday evening; and

Whereas, Such panic could easily have caused a
stampede in the vast audience, resultins in a
catastrophe similar to the Iroquois Theater fire; and

Whereas. In view of the great amusements and
spectacles which are now^ being held on a scale never
before possible in Chicago, attracting as they do
immense gatherings of people, it is necessary' that
proper safety precautions be enacted by the City
Council in order that accidents similar to the panic
of last Monday evening at the Coliseum may be pre-
vented in the future; therefore, be it

Ordered, That the Committee on Buildings and
Zoning be and it is hereby directed to make a com-
plete and adequate investigation into the matter of
providing safeguards which will make attendance
at theaters, stadiums, amphi-theaters and other
great halls of public assembly reasonably safe to
their patrons; and, be it further

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
Represented in the General Assembly:

of Article XII of "An Act to provide for tihe in-
corporation of cities and villages," approved April

shall read respectively as hereinafter set forth and
shall be in effect in the City of Chicago in case of
the approval of this Act by the legal voters of the
City of Chicago, at the time and in the manner pre-
scribed herein, in lieu of the present Sections 1,
5 and 6 of Part Four of Article XII which were
heretofore approved by such legal voters. Such
amended Sections 1, 5 and 6 shall read respectively
as follows :

Section 1. General Municipal Elections for Alder-
men— Term Prescribed. One Alderman shall be
elected from each ward for a term of four years.
If this Act shall be submitted to the legal voters
of the City of Chicago and approved by such legal
voters at or before the time prescribed by law for
the general election of Aldermen in the year 1931,
tihe Aldermen who shall be holding office at that
time shall continue to hold their offices and to
serve as Aldermen until after the supplemental elec-
tion for Aldermen to be held under the provisions of
this Act in the year 1932.

// this Act is so submitted and approved at any
election to be held after the time prescribed by laiv
for the general election of Aldermen in the year
i93i, the Aldermen who shall be holding office at the
time of such election tvhereat this Act is so sub-
mitted and approved shall continue to hold their
offices and to serve as aldermen until after the first
Tuesday in May of the even numbered year im-
mediately following the year of the expiration of
the terms for which they shall have been elected.
After the first general election for Aldermen under
the provisions of this Act, general elections for
Aldermen in the manner prescribed by law shall be
held every four years. All general elections for
Aldermen shall be held on the first Tuesday in
April in the years herein fixed as the years for hold-
ing such general elections, and any supplementary
election for Aldermen to be held in accordance with
the provisions of this Act shall be held on the first
Tuesday in May next following the holding of such
general Aldermanic election.

Any Alderman elected for a term of four years
under the provisions of this Act shall be subject to
a recall after he has served for the period of eigh-
teen months in case a petition, prepared and cir-
culated after such period of eighteen months, de-
manding the recall of an Alderman of a icnrd, signed
by at least thirty per cent of the qualified legal vot-
ers of such ward, is presented to the City Council.
Such petition shall be signed and prepared in the
same manner, as near as may be, as petitions for
nominations of candidates for Alderman. When
such petition is presented to the City Council it

shall call a special election for Alderman in the
ward for which the same shall have been presented
in the same manner as if a vacancy had occurred in
said ward, and a supplementary election shall follow
thereafter, if necessary, in the same manner as after
other special elections for Aldermen. The Alder-
man who is sought to be recalled shall be one of
the candidates to be voted for at the special elec-
tion so called, and his status shall be the same in
all other respects as candidates nominated by pe-
tition.

All elections for Aldermen shall be in accord-
ance with the provisions of law in force and opera-
tive in the City of Chicago for such elections at the
time such elections are held, and vacancies occur-
ring in such office shall be filled in the manner pre-
scribed by law for filling vacancies, except that in
case of a vacancy in the office of Alderman wfhen
the remainder of the term is less than one year,
the Mayor, by and with the consent of the City
Council, shall appoint a citizen of the ward in which
the vacancy exists who has resided therein not less
than five years to fill the office of Alderman of such
ward for the remainder of the term.

Section 5. General elections for Aldermen shall
be held in the year or years fixed by law for hold-
ing the same, on the first Tuesday of April of such
year. Any supplementary election for Aldermen
held under the provisions of this Act shall be held
on the first Tuesday of May next following the
holding of such general Aldermanic election. Spe-
cial Aldermanic elections shall be held on the date
provided for by tihe ordinance calling the same,
and if followed by a supplementary election, such
supplementary election shall be held four weeks
thereafter.

If any general municipal election for Alderman is
held at any date other than the first Tuesday in
April, the supplementary municipal election follow-
ing the same shall be held four weeks after the date
of such general municipal election.

Section 6. The candidate receiving a majority
of the votes cast for Alderman in each ward at any
general or special election shall be declared elected.
In the event that no candidate receives a majority
of such votes in any ward or wards a supplementary
election shall be held at the time prescribed in the
preceding section. At such supplementary election
the names of the candidates in eadh of such wards
receiving the highest and second highest number of
votes at the preceding general or special election
and no others shall be placed on the official ballot:
Provided, however, that if there be any candidate
who, under the provisions of this section would
have been entitled to a place on the ballot at tihe
supplementary election except for the fact that some
other candidate received an equal number of votes,
then all such candidates receiving such equal num-
ber of votes shall have their names printed on the
ballot as candidates at such succeeding supplemen-
tary election. The candidate receiving the highest
number of votes at such supplementary election
shall be declared elected. Such supplementary elec-
tion shall be deemed a special election under the
election and ballot laws in force in the City of Chi-
cago and shall be governed thereby except in so
far as such laws are inconsistent with the provisions
of this Act.

Any candidate whose name appears on the bal-
lots used in any ward of the city at the general
election for Aldermen, so held in any year on the
first Tuesday of April as provided for in this Act,
may contest the election of the candidate who ap-

pears to be elected from said ward on the face of the
returns, or may contest the right of the candidates
who appear to have received the highest and sec-
ond highest number of votes to places on the official
ballot at the supplementary election which is to
follow, as the case may be, by filing with the Clerk
of the County Court of Cook County a petition in
writing, setting forth the grounds of contest, which
petition shall be verified by the candidate making
such contest and shall be filed within five days
after such general election for Aldermen. The con-
testant shall also serve notice on all persons who
were candidates for alderman of such ward at the
said election, within sudh five days, informing them
that such petition has been or will be filed. The
judge of the County Court of Cook County shall
have jurisdiction to hear and determine such con-
test. All proceedings, in relation to such contest
after the filing of such petition shall be the same,
as near as may he, as is provided for in the case
of a contest at a primary election in said city. In
case the said county judge shall decide that Uhe
petition is insufficient in law, or that the candidate
who appears to have been elected on the face of
the returns 'has been duly elected, the petition shall
he dismissed. If it shall appear to the satisfaction
of said county judge that the face of the returns
are not correct, and that the candidate who appears
thereby to have been elected was not in fact elected,
then the candidates having the highest and second
highest number of votes as determined by suoh con-
test shall be the candidates at the subsequent sup-
plementary election as herein provided for. Pro-
vided, that such contest sihall also be proper in case
an election to fill a vacancy in the office of Alder-
man of any ward shall have been called and held as
provided for herein.

Section 2. This Act shall not be in force in the
City of Chicago until the question of its adoption
shall first have been submitted to the legal voters
of the City of Chicago and approved by a majority
of those voting thereon.

City of Chicago shall be submitted to the legal

unless adopted prior thereto. It may also be so
submitted at any general or special election held

termined upon by the City Council and designated

nance direct that the question of the adoption of

voters voting thereon, the question of the adoption
of this Act may also again be submitted to the legal
voters of the City of Chicago at any general or

special election to be held in and for the entire
city not less than forty days from and after the filing
of the petition hereinafter provided for, in the fol-
lowing manner: A petition signed by legal voters

missioners, and it shall thereupon be the duty of

question of the adoption of this Act to such legal
voters at the election specified in said petition.

If this Act shall fail to be consented to by a ma-
jority of the legal voters of the City of Chicago
