Whereas, The question of retaining or sharing

atom bomb be retained by the United States in
the interest of world peace or shared with other

sharing of military secrets, arms or materials
by friendly nations during peace time and with-

sad consequences during times of world unrest and
war; and

ernment the American people have chosen to speak
either directly through the ballot or through its
elected representatives after free and open debate;
now therefore be it
Resolved, That this City Council, representing
some three and one-half million people, memorialize

January 10, 1947 NEW BUSINESS (PASSED)— PRESENTED by ALDERMEN

By Alderman Orlikoski (35th Ward) :
Proposal for Allocation of Type C-4 Ship to Great
Lakes Area Endorsed.
A proposed resolution reading as follows:
Whereas_, for many years there has been a lack
of adequate local steamboat passenger service in
Chicago, and especially in recent years due to the
fact that the recreational opportunities for the
public have been seriously curtailed as result of the
war effort, and
Whereas^ for this and many other reasons, the
citizens of Chicago have been denied the privilege
and advantages offered in low-cost water trans-
portation and have not had an opportunity to
take advantage of the natural benefits of being
the largest port city on the Great Lakes; and
Whereas^ the Civic and business leaders of the
City of Chicago, a Maritime City, have noted
with a great deal of apprehension, the decline of
the passenger steamboat traffic in and out of the
port of Chicago, and have come to the conclu-
sion that drastic steps must be undertaken in
order to reestablish the interest and the imagina-
tion of its people and the reestablishment of an
awareness to the desirability of steamship traffic
on the Great Lakes, and particularly on Lake
Michigan; and
Whereas^ as the result of the depression, the
unusual economic conditions resulted in the bank-
ruptcy of steamship lines which have for many
years served the public, and
Whereas, under the ship building program of
the United States Maritime Commission there
were constructed some 5,000 ocean-going ships
which, since the cessation of hositilities are neces-
sary to be transferred from Government owner-
ship to operations by private interests; and
Whereas, it would be a distinct advantage to
the Great Lakes area if some means could be found
whereby one of these ships could be diverted for
use on the Great Lakes in an effort to reestablish
local steamship passenger service and automobile
ferry service on a modern and enlarged scale; and
Whereas, it has come to our attention that the
Wisconsin and Michigan Steamship Company has
made application to the United States Maritime
Commission for the purchase of one of the type
C-4 ships to be known as the S. S. Chicago Clipper,
for use on the Great Lakes with the specific intent
to use the port of Chicago as an operating base;
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved that it is the
sense of this City Council that the acquisition of
such a ship for the Great Lakes trade, and espe-
cially for the building up of the potential steam-
ship passenger and tourist traffic to and from
the port of Chicago, is a most desirable ad-
junct to the commercial facilities and that great
public benefit will accrue from such venture;
Be It Further Resolved that this City Council
hereby places itself on record as urging the allo-
cation of at least one of the type C-4 ships to
the Great Lakes area, as above stated, and that
all other Federal agencies having jurisdiction on
the Illinois Waterway be enlisted to authorize
the passage of said ship from the Gulf of Mexico
to the Great Lakes; and
Be It Further Resolved, That copies of this
resolution be forwarded to the United States
Maritime Commission, United States Senators
from Illinois, and United States Representatives
from districts within the City of Chicago.
On motion of Alderman Orlikoski said proposed
resolution was adopted by yeas and nays as follows:
Yeas — Aldermen Budinger, Harvey, DePriest, Cohen,
Moss, Francis J. Hogan, Bohling, Olin, DuBois, Pa-

By Alderman Cullerton (38th Ward):

Frame Buildings on Land Adjacent

A proposed ordinance reading as follows:
Whereas, Public Vocational and Trade School
facilities are inadequate to provide for the residents
of Chicago for Veterans of the recent war, who
prior to the induction into the armed forces of the
United States resided in the City of Chicago and
Whereas, the demobilization of the greater part
of the armed forces under the G. I. Bill of Rights

threatens to endanger the future welfare of re-
turning veterans; now, therefore,

Chicago:

Trade School, 1225 Sedgwick Street, Chicago and
Manley Trade School, 2935 Polk Street, Chicago as
students.
Section 2. The authority hereby given to the
Board of Education of the City of Chicago is upon
condition that said temporary buildings will be
dismantled and removed within five years after
their erection, and, in the event that the school
fails or neglects to do so, the officer or officers of
the City of Chicago designated by the City Coun-
cil shall have the right to enter upon the land of
said school and to dismantle and remove said build-
ings and charge to and collect from the Board of

By Alderman Keenan (49th Ward) :
Direction for Action to Compel Chicago Rapid
Transit Co. to Provide New Coaches.
A proposed resolution reading as follows:
Whereas on April 19, 1939 the Illinois Com-
merce Commission ordered the Chicago Rapid
Transit Company "to replace its all-wood and wood
and steel reinforced or composite cars with all steel
or metal cars within a period of approximately
five years (5) years;" and
Whereas it was then determined and so ordered
in its report of that date that approximately one
thousand (1,000) new cars of like capacity would
be necessary to make the replacements; and
Whereas the business of the Chicago Rapid
Transit Company has greatly increased since that
time; and
Whereas The Chicago Rapid Transit Company
has since that time increased its fare to twelve
cents (12^) ; and
Whereas the crowded conditions prevailing at all
hours of the day, particularly during the rush
hours, are a disgrace to our City; and
Whereas even at the extreme limits of the city
the coaches are dangerously overcrowded; and
Whereas the use of wooden coaches is a grave
menace to the safety of our citizens; and
Whereas The Chicago Rapid Transit Company
since the date April 19, 1939 has not provided even
one new coach ;" and
Whereas they can no longer plead poverty with
a twenty per cent (20%) increase in fare and
carrying more passengers than eight (8) years
ago; and
Whereas another tragedy such as the Granville
Avenue wreck may occur at any time unless some-
thing to remedy this situation is done immediately;
Therefore Be It Resolved that the City of Chi-
cago, through its Law Department through the
Illinois Commerce Commission, the Chicago Transit
Authority, and in any other way possible, do force
the Chicago Rapid Transit Company to provide new
and adequate coaches for the safety and conveni-
ence of our citizens.

tachment of guys and lift chains and the attach-
ment to a crane, shall be directly connected to the
structural framework of the sign.
Signs built in more than one section shall have
provision for connecting sections during the course
of erection so that the entire structural framework
will act as a completely fabricated and assembled
unit. Each section shall be so constructed that the
interior is accessible for maintenance and inspec-
tion.
(b) The design shall be such as to afford ample
strength and rigidity, to render the box or trough
practically weatherproof, to enclose all terminals
and wiring other than the leads, and to provide
drainage for each compartment by means of one or
more holes, each not larger than one inch nor less
than one-quarter inch in diameter.

mains referred to are of sufficient capacity, in good
condition, and in compliance with the rules. If such
is not the case, new mains should be installed.
Mains feeding signs shall be calculated on the basis
of full connected load, whether flashers are used
or not, but in no case shall there be a capacity
for less than ten watt lamps. Where more than
one reading matter is overlaid on a single panel
and only one reading matter is illuminated at one
time the mains may be calculated on the basis of
the maximum load at one time. Signs may be con-
nected to interior lighting circuits (except circuits
feeding show windows) provided the combined
load on the circuit does not exceed 1,000 watts.
(b) Wires shall be soldered to terminals of
sockets and exposed parts of wires and terminals
shall be treated to prevent corrosion.
(c) Approved bushings shall be employed to
protect wires, passing through walls or partitions

REPORTS AND COMMUNICATIONS FROM CITY OFFICERS.
Mayor Authorized to Extend Official Invitation for
Holding of Olympic Games in Chicago in 1953,
and to Appoint Promotion Committee.
Honorable Edward J. Kelly, Mayor, submitted a
proposed resolution reading as follows:
Whereas^ With the cessation of war, the Inter-
national Olympic Games Committee will be resumed
at Stockholm, Sweden, on June 14th of this year,
at which time the International Olympic Com-
mittee will meet for the purpose of selecting a
site for the 1952 Olympic Games; and
Whereas^ In spite of the fact that three other
American cities, namely, Detroit, Minneapolis and
Los Angeles, in addition to Helsinki, Finland and
Athens, Greece, have already issued official invi-
tations for the 1952 Olympics, sufficient time re-
mains, according to sports authorities, for Chi-
cago to secure these games if it is willing to
spare the necessary time and effort to bring them
here; and
Whereas^ The last time the Olympic Games
were held in the United States was in 1932 at Los
Angeles, at which time crowds of more than 100,-
000 persons repeatedly attended the track events;
and
Whereas, Chicago, by reason of its love of sport,
its unrivalled accommodations at Soldier Field and
elsewhere on the lake front, its long experience
and unrivalled reputation for handling large
crowds, its outstanding hotel, restaurant and
amusement facilities, and its position as the
nation's transportation center, would be an ideal
host city for the 1952 Olympic Games; and
Whereas, The holding of the 1952 Olympic
Games in Chicago would prove an invaluable stimu-
lus to public morale, civic pride, and our long
tradition of sportsmanship, as well as bring to
our city cultural and economic benefits of tre-
mendous value;
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, That the City
Council of the City of Chicago hereby authorizes
Mayor Edward J. Kelly to extend the City of
Chicago official invitation to the International
Olympic Committee to hold the Olympic Games
in Chicago in 1952 ; and
Be It Further Resolved, That the City Council
hereby authorizes Mayor Kelly to appoint a com-
mittee of 100 outstanding Chicago citizens — repre-
sentative of our city's varied business, industrial,
labor, cultural, religious, civic and sports interests
— for the purpose of carrying on an aggressive
campaign to raise the necessary funds, make
the necessary arrangements, and in other ways
promote Chicago's claims to selection as the
Olympics host city for 1952.
Committee consideration was dispensed with by
unanimous consent, and on, motion of Alderman Orli-
koski (seconded by Alderman Bowler and Alderman
Keenan) the proposed resolution was adopted, by
yeas and nays as follows:
Yeas — Aldermen Budinger, Harvey, DePriest,

of accounts as provided in section 7-13 of the Municipal Code of Chicago.
The Comptroller and heads of all departments and other agencies of the city
government shall administer the amounts appropriated in this ordinance by
standard accounts as specified by code numbers and letters, designations of
which may be amended or altered by the Comptroller to suit the need of proper
classification in accordance with the standard classification of accounts and with
the official manual of the City of Chicago issued by the Department of Finance
in which are specified the details of commodities, services, benefits and claims
chargeable to the respective standard accounts.
Section 4. Where appropriations are made under Standard Accounts desig-
nated by code letter "S" expenditures thereunder shall be accounted for under

4 of this ordinance" expenditures thereunder shall be limited to objects and
purposes of operation and administration under the following Standard Ac-
counts: C, F, G, H, J and L.
Section 5. The appropriation herein of amounts for the payment of
"liabilities," of "contract liabilities" or of "unpaid bills" shall not be construed
as an approval of any such liabilities or bills, but shall be regarded only as an
appropriation for the payment thereof when they have been found to be valid
and legal obligations against the City of Chicago and have been properly
vouchered and audited.
Section 6. The appropriations herein made for salaries and wages shall be
regarded as the maximum appropriations for the respective positions, the num-
ber of positions specified and the length of time for which the incumbent of
each position is to be employed. The wages herein fixed on a per diem basis
for skilled labor are subject to change during the fiscal year as the city

rate for skilled labor authorized by the city council are subject to the amount
available therefor by appropriation herein for adjustments in such wage rates.

cess of the salary or wage to which the incumbent of such position is en-
titled by grade, rank and seniority, the department head shall certify to

the Civil Service Commission determines, by its approval of the pay roll,
that such special assignment is immediately required without reclassification
of the position the amount appropriated shall be paid to the incumbent per-
forming the duties of the position with special assignment; otherwise the
salary or wages of such incumbent shall be the amount established for po-
sitions of the same class and grade, or rank according to seniority of service,
without special assignment, and no additional compensation shall be paid to the
incumbent of such postion by voucher or otherwise. Upon termination of the

head of the department in which any such vacancy occurs shall not be required

sity therefor.

of which real estate has been or will be forfeited to the State, and (4) the abatement in the amount of

Proclamation
Whereas, the National Conf erence of Christians

Whereas, all the wisdom of man's collective ex-
perience points to this simple formula las the
answer to the problems of hate and greed and
suspicion; and
Wliereas, not only does the principle of brother-
hood show the way toward a genuine civilization,
but in this day of atomic destruction it offers our
only hope of survival ;
Now, Therefore, I, Edward J. Kelly, as Mayor
of the City of Chicago, do hereby proclaim the
week of February 16 to 23, 1947, as American
Brotherhood Week in Chicago, and I do urge all
the people of this city to join wholeheartedly in
the program of the Conference of Christians and
Jews to make the real spirit of every religion — a
genuine brotherhood — the common possession of all
of us, so that the peace we seek may begin in our
own hearts.

Chicago Plan Commission's Brochure, "Woodlawn —
A Study in Community Conservation".
A communication reading as follows:
Chicago Plan Commission
January 15, 1947
To the Honorable, Mayor Edward J. Kelly and the
City Council of the City of Chicago, City Hall,
Chicago 2, Illinois:
Gentlemen — Pursuant to directions given to me
by the Chicago Plan Commission, there is trans-
mitted herewith a copy of the Commission's pub-
lication "Woodlawn— A Study in Community Con-
servation."
This report has been prepared in collaboration
with the Woodlawn Planning Committee of the
Associated Clubs of Woodlawn which initiated the
study approximately six years ago with the aid
of a number of civic and governmental agencies.
On December 11, 1939 the City of Chicago sup-
ported the study by sponsoring an application for
aid from the Works Progress Administration to
conduct the necessary surveys.
The Woodlawn Community was selected for a
pilot study as it seemed to typify the residential
areas of Chicago which are classified in the Land
Use Survey as conservation areas. The purposes of
this report are to analyze the problems common
to most of these middle-aged residential areas and
to propose a plan of action for community revital-
ization and improvement.
In Chicago there are 56 square miles (over one-
third of the city's residential area) which are
shown on the Comprehensive City Plan as con-
servation areas suitable for continuing residential
use. More than one-half of the people in Chicago
live within these conservation areas.
Fundamentally the plan for Woodlawn is de-
signed to coordinate the activities of the City of
Chicago and institutions, groups, and individuals
into an effective program of public improvements
and modernization of privately owned properties.
The aim of the study is to encourage the re-
habilitation of those parts of each community that
are worth preserving and to improve their physical
features in order that all such areas will regain
much of their former economic value and attrac-
tiveness.
This report is transmitted from the Plan Com-
mission with the recommendation that every de-
partment of the city government, as well as the
respective committees of the City Council, give it
careful consideration and study in order that con-
certed efforts be made to retain these established
residential areas of Chicago as desirable places in
which to live.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) H. Evert Kinkaid,
Executive Director.
Referred to the Committee on Planning.

City of Chicago ~ .
Office of the City Comptroller
January 15. 1947.
Hon. James B. Bowler,
Chairman, Committee on Finance.
Dear Sir — We transmit for your information,
copy of an opinion dated January 6, 1947, by the
corporation counsel on the question of permitting
concession stands in the City Hall.
Reference is made to our letter of December 3,
1946, regarding a resolution passed November 6,
1946, by the city council for the allotment of space
in public buildings for the Operation of concession
stands by visually handicapped persons.
Apparently the corporation counsel does not feel
that permitting such stands would endanger the
city's rights in the City Hall site.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) R. B. Upham,
Comptroller.

Hon. R. B. Upham

Attention: J. F. P.
Dear Sir — With your letter of December 11,
1946 you transmitted copy of a resolution passed
by the City Council on November 6, 1946 for the
allotment of space in city owned buildings for oper-
ation of concession stands by visually handicapped
persons. The resolution was published in the Jour-
nal of the Proceedings of the City Council of that
date, page 6532, and declares it to be the official
policy of the city government to encourage and
promote the employment of blind persons in the
operation of vending stands in municipal buildings

JOURNAI^CITY COUNCIL— CHICAGO
January 23, 1947
for tobacco products, wrapped confectionery, news-
papers, periodicals, etc., under the supervision and
direction of recognized agencies in charge of stand
programs for the blind.
The City of Chicago erected the City Hall under
a lease from the County of Cook as owner of Court
House Square. The lease was reduced to writing
on August 28, 1872 pursuant to authority of the
City Council passed August 5, 1872. A copy of
the lease was transmitted with your letter of
December 11, 1946. It provides, among other
things, that if the City shall rent any portion of
the City Hall site for any other purpose than is
specified "then the said County shall have the right
to resume possession thereof and in such case the
said City shall forfeit all its rights therein and
this contract shall be null and void, but no for-
feiture shall be incurred by the use of the same for
Supreme Court purposes, if the City should desire
to so use the same".
The question submitted for our consideration is
whether permits for stands authorized by the reso-
lution of November 6, 1946 and a certain fruit
stand, newspaper stand, pay telephone stations and
a milk vending truck now maintained in certain
parts of the City Hall violate the provisions of the
lease above referred to.
Forfeitures are not favored by the law, espe-
cially breach of covenant or condition subsequent,
{Cooper V. Haas (1928) 332 111.., 561, 570; Powell
v. Powell (1929) 335 111., 533); and it has been
said that forfeitures are so odious that courts will
resort to all reasonable methods of interpretation
and proceeding for the purpose of avoiding them.
(Knights Templars & Masons Life Indemnity Co. v.
Vail (1902), 105 111. App. 331; Affd. 206 111. 404).
Liberally construed, the maintenance of public
telephone facilities, newspaper stands and other
small vending stands for the convenience of the
public having business at the City Hall fairly fall
within the purposes and uses for which the City
Hall site of Court House Square was leased to the
City, i. e., for public offices and the administration
of its government where the public may be ac-
commodated.
At any rate, we are quite confident that no for-
feiture could be declared for such a technical viola-
tion of the lease without notice of objection from
the county authorities. (Storke v. Penn Mutual
Life Ins. Co. (1946) 390 111. 619).

The following is said resolution as adopted:
Whereas^ there are approximately four thou-
sand taxicabs, licensed and unlicensed, operating in
the City of Chicago yet the taxicab service is still
inadequate and insufficient to satisfy the needs and
requirements of the public; and
Whereas, the City" Council has heretofore au-
thorized the issuance of additional licenses and
permits in excess of those provided for in an ordi-
nance passed May 18, 1934, as amended; and
Whereas, the Supreme Court of Illinois has on
January 22, 1947 invalidated the issuance of such
additional licenses and has thereby nullified said
licenses heretofore issued and authorized to be
issued to veterans of World War II ; and
Whereas, Section 196A-2 of the Municipal Code
of Chicago authorizes the City Council by general
ordinance to provide for taxicab licenses in excess
of three thousand after a determination of the
need thereof by a public hearing upon the question
of public convenience and necessity held by the
Public Vehicle License Commissioner;
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the Public
Vehicle License Commissioner be and he is hereby
directed to continue with the public hearing imme-
diately to determine the adequacy and sufficiency
of the taxicab service in the City of Chicago and
to determine whether public convenience and
necessity require an increase in the number of
authorized taxicab licenses, and to report his find-
ings to the City Council at the next meeting of the
Council; and
Be It Further Resolved, that upon receipt of a
report from said Public Vehicle License Commis-
sioner finding that the taxicab service presently
received by and rendered to the citizens of Chicago
is inadequate and that the public convenience and
necessity require the licensing of additional taxi-
cabs, the Council shall promptly authorize an in-
crease in the number of taxicab licenses from three
thousand as presently limited by the ordinance of
May 18, 1934, as amended ;
And Be It Further Resolved, That the Corpora-
tion Counsel be directed to draw the necessary and
proper ordinances or amendments to bring about
sufficient and adequate taxicab service for the
people of the City of Chicago.

Accountants and Auditors

Chicago 2, October 26, 1946.
To the Committee on Finance of the
Chicago City Council:
Gentlemen — In compliance with Section 7-21 of
the Municipal Code of the City of Chicago, we
Rave examined the records of the City Comptroller
and the various Fund balance sheets and related
statements of balances, or surplus, and revenue,
contained in the Comptroller's 1945 Report, and
find them in agreement. In connection therewith,
we have reviewed the system of internal control
exercised over City revenue and expenditures by
the Comptroller and have examined and tested the
7220
JOURNAL— CITY COUNCII^CHICAGO

operation of controlling accounts, obtaining essen-
tial explanation from City officials and employees,
and have made a limited, but not detailed, check
of transactions supporting the controlling accounts,
testing City revenue, or receipts, and payrolls and
other expenditures, or disbursements, and other
supporting evidence, to the extent we deemed ap-
propriate, expedient access being had to records of
other City departments. Transactions subject to
record by tlie Comptroller are of a volume which
result in the routine functioning of the Comp-
troller's department being a check on individual
transactions, due to the fact that each one must
usually, automatically and of necessity, come under
the scrutiny of several persons in the Comptrol-
ler's department and other City departments.
The Board of Education is not reflected on the
records of the Comptroller, or in our examination,
and our assignment excluded verification of Spe-
cial Assessment funds and receivables for Water
meter rates.
We had already examined the records of the City
Treasurer at December 31, 1945, and rendered a
report thereon; in connection with our examina-
tion of the Comptroller's records for the year 1945,
we checked the Treasurer's reports to the Comp-
troller with the City Collector's reports to the
Comptroller, and reconciled the reports of the
Treasurer and Collector to the records of the
Comptroller. City of Chicago tax levy receipts
were checked to the record of collections by the
Cook County Treasurer, and the distribution there-
of ; and direct confirmation was obtained on amount
due from the State of Illinois for motor fuel tax
allotment, on authorized but unissued bonds, and
on 1945 transfer of funds to Annuity and Benefit
Funds of City employees. Issues and redemptions
of, and interest computations on, bonds, certifi-
cates of indebtedness and tax anticipation warrants
were accounted for, cancelled redemptions being
examined. Detail of warrants for collection and
voucher warrants were tested to controlling ac-
counts, and inter-fund transactions were traced.
Expenditures under continuous audit by Federal
or State auditors were not examined. Control pro-
cedures for expenditures of City Relief Fund, which
is supported by tax levy and is under supervision
of the Comptroller, and for Bureau of Water re-
ceipts which are reported direct to the City Treas-
urer, were reviewed by us. Judgments rendered
and paid were reconciled. The Comptroller's ap-
propriation ledger was checked to Council Appro-
priation and Amendments.
In our certificate on the Comptroller's 1944 Re-
port, certain suggestions were set forth. Consid-
erable improvement was noted in the control over
Capital Accounts. We understand that sugges-
tions in regard to Code clarification; inter-fund
accounting controls; inventory control over equip-
ment and supplies; qualification of certain Trust
Fund and Clearing Account Available balances as
definite liabilities; qualification of property ac-
counts as undepreciated cost accumulations; and
qualification of certain warrants for collection,
Traction Fund investments, and Working Cash
Trust Fund advances to Corporate Fund, as to
value, are under consideration.
In our opinion, the Fund balance sheets and re-
lated statements of balances, or surplus, and reve-
nue, contained in the Comptroller's 1945 Report
do fairly present, in conformity with generally
accepted principles of accounting applied on a basis
consistent with prior years, subject to the fore-
going comments, the financial position of the City
of Chicago, exclusive of the Board of Education,
at December 31, 1945, and the financial result of
its administration for the fiscal year ended that
date.
Respectfully submitted, ^.

cal examination provided for by the rules of the

sion provide that when an officer or employe has
been injured in the performance of his duties, such
injury shall not disqualify him for promotion or

not be prejudicial to the best interest of the ser-
vice; and

science that a temporary police officer should be
disqualified from becoming a permanent member
of the police force because of injuries which he
sustained in line of duty while he was a temporary
member of said department;
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the Civil
Service Commission and the Commissioner of Po-
lice be requested by the City Council to take such
steps as may be necessary to waive, modify or in-
terpret their rules to enable any temporary mem-
ber of the police force who is unable to pass the

qualification removed and thereby enabled to be-

Washington, D. C.
Sponsor's Assurance Agreement
Section 1. For and in consideration of the
execution by the United States of a Grant Agree-
ment obligating the United States to pay a por-
tion of the allowable project costs of a project
for development of the Northerly Island airport
under the provisions of the Federal Airport Act,
and the Regulations promulgated thereunder, the
City of Chicago hereinafter called the "sponsor",
for itself, its successors, or assigns does hereby
covenant and agree with the United States as
follows :
a. All terms used in this Agreement which
are defined in the Federal Airport Act, and the
Regulations promulgated thereunder, shall
have the meaning given to them in such Act
and Regulations.
b. Insofar as legally possible, the sponsor
will maintain a master plan of the airport,
including building areas, approach areas, and
landing areas indicating present and future
proposed development commensurate with the
airport and with current approval of the Ad-
ministrator; and in establishing additional
improvements, the sponsor will conform to
such master plan or approved changes thereto.
c. During the term of this agreement, the
airport will be operated continuously as such
and for no other purpose and will at all times
be operated for the use and benefit of the
public, on fair and reasonable terms and with-
out unjust discrimination.
d. The sponsor will not hereafter use or
permit the use of the airport exclusively for
air carrier operations, unless there are other
public airport facilities in the area adequate
■ to serve other types of users ; it will not grant,
exercise, or permit the exercise of any ex-
clusive right for use of the airport by one air
carrier operator, or for rental of aircraft to
the public, for conducting charter flights, or
for operating a flying school, and that, after
the date of this agreement, it will not grant
or authorize the grant of exclusive right at the
airport for selling aircraft, aircraft parts or
equipment, or for repairing aircraft and en-
gines, or for carrying on other airport services
or fixed base operations of an aeronautical
nature. Nothing contained herein shall be
construed to waive or abrogate the require-
ments of section 303 of the Civil Aeronautics
^ Act of 1938. In the interest of safety, the
Administrator may waive in writing compli-
ance with any or all the provisions of this
sub-section.
e. Except as provided in d. above, the
sponsor will permit all qualified operators, on
reasonable terms and without unjust discrim-
ination, to use the airport for any aeronautical
business or operation up to the capacity of the
airport.
f. The sponsor will not hereafter grant to
any one an exclusive right to sell aviation
gasoline or oil.
g. During the term of this agreement the
sponsor will continuously maintain in good
and serviceable condition and repair the entire
airport and all buildings and other improve-
ments, facilities, and equipment, other than
facilities or equipment owned or controlled by
the United States; provided, however, in meet-
ing this requirement the airport is not ex-
pected to be operated and maintained for
aeronautical lises during temporary periods
when climatic or flood conditions interfere
substantially with operation and maintenance
during such periods. Essential facilities, in-
cluding night lighting systems, when installed,
will be operated in such a manner as to assure
their availability to all users of the airport.
h. The sponsor will replace and repair all
buildings, structures, and facilities developed
under the project if such are destroyed or
damaged, replacing or restoring them to a
condition comparable to that preceding the
destruction or damage.
i. If the land or improvements thereon,
acquired or developed under the project, are
sold, condemned, or otherwise disposed of,
wholly or in part, the United States will be
reimbursed in proportion to its original invest-
ment in the property so disposed of, but not
exceeding its original share in the portions so
disposed of, except that if the proceeds are
used by the sponsor for airport purposes
within two years or if a transfer is made
pursuant to this agreement to another public
agency or agencies for operation as an airport, ,
there shall be no reimbursement to the United
States.
j. Insofar as is within its powers and
reasonably possible the sponsor will prevent
the use of any land either within or outside
the boundaries of the airport, including the
construction, erection, alteration, or growth of
any structure or other object thereon, which
would be a hazard to the landing, taking-off,
and maneuvering of aircraft at the airport, or
otherwise limits its usefulness as an airport.
With respect to land outside the boundaries of
the airport, the sponsor will remove or cause
to be removed any growth, structure, or other
object thereon which would be a hazard to the
landing, taking-off, or maneuvering of aircraft
at the airport, or when such is not feasible, it
will mark or light such growth, structure, or
other object. The airport approach standards
to be followed in this connection shall be those
established by the Administrator in Oflice of
Airports Drawing No. 672 dated ,
unless otherwise authorized by the Admin-
istrator. Insofar as legally possible, the spon-
sor will adopt and enforce zoning ordinances
and regulations to safeguard aircraft flight
operations within the airport hazard areas as
defined in the above mentioned drawing, pro-
hibiting the creation, establishment, erection,
» and construction of hazards to air navigation ;

such easements or other interests in lands and
air space as may be necessary to perform the

to such use, of the cost of operating and main-
taining facilities so used, may be charged.

agency of the United States, without charge
(except for light, heat, janitor service, and
similar facilities and services at the reasonable
cost thereof), such space in airport buildings
as may be reasonably adequate for use in
connection with any airport air traffic control
activities, weather-reporting activities and
communications activities related to airport
air traffic control, which are necessary to the
safe and efficient operation of the airport and
which such agency may deem necessary to
establish and maintain at the airport.
m. The sponsor will maintain a current
system of airport accounts and records, using
a system of its own choice, sufficient to provide
annual statements of income and expense, bal-
ance sheet and affiliated fiscal reporting. It
shall, upon reasonable request, funiish the Ad-
ministrator with annual or special financial
and operations reports. Such reports may be
submitted to the Administrator on forms fur-
nished by him, or may be submitted in such
other manner as the sponsor elects, provided
the essential data is furnished. The airport
and all airport accounts and records will be
available for inspection at any time, upon
reasonable request, by the regional Superin-
tendent of Airports or his authorized repre-
sentatives.
n. The sponsor will not enter into any
transaction which would operate to deprive it
of any of the rights and powers necessary to
perform any or all of the covenants made
herein, unless by such transaction the obliga-
tion to perform all such covenants is assumed
by another public agency eligible under the
Regulations issued pursuant to the Federal
Airport Act, to assume such obligations and

sources to carry out all such obligations. If

and authority to insure that the airport will
be operated and maintained in accordance with
the Act and the Regulations.
o. The sponsor will furnish to the Admin-
istrator through the District Airport Engineer
within ten days after their execution or adop-
tion, three copies of all deeds, leases, operation
or management agreements, laws, ordinances,
rules and regulations, or other instruments
affecting the aeronautical use of the airport.
All leases, operation or management agree-
ments, or other instruments affecting the
aeronautical use of the airport shall contain a
provision that such documents shall be sub-

agreement.

Whereas, The Federal contributions which, with

forced to increase the price of luncheons in the
JOURNAI^CITY COUNCir^CHICAGO February 10, 1947
7270
public schools by approximately SSVs %' after March
10, 1947; and
Whereas, Low-cost balanced luncheons are im-
perative for the children in the schools to maintain
the health and well-being of our children, to aid
them in growing up to be strong and healthy citi-
zens, and to enable them to maintain high educa-
tional standards in their school work; and
Whereas, It is unthinkable that any misguided
efforts at economy in government should be per-
mitted to affect the health and development of
these children or the success of the low-cost lunch-
eon program, which has so vitally influenced their
physical and mental well-being;
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, That the City
Council does urge the Congress of the United States
to make available at once funds sufficient to per-
mit the continuance of the low-cost luncheon pro-
gram in the schools of Chicago; and
Be It Further Resolved, That a copy of this reso-
lution be sent by the City Clerk to the Representa-
tives in Congress from the districts embraced
within the City of Chicago with a request that they
lend every aid and assistance available to them
to secure favorable action by the Congress on this
request.
On motion of Alderman Keenan said proposed reso-
lution was adopted.
Progress Report Relative to Consolidation of Pur-
chasing Activities of City Government.
Also a memorandum reading as follows, which was
ordered published:
A study is being made by the staff of the Com-
mittee on Consolidation, Reorganization and Taxa-
tion preparing the necessary action to consolidate
the scattered purchasing activities of the City
government.
The need for such centralization is presented in
the following summary:
Purchasing Unit Annual Value
Bureau of Central Purchasing $ 2,460,783.
Contract Section, Bureau of Engineer-
ing 4,951,212.
Total, Department of Public Works 7,411,995.
Other City agencies 7,688,504.
Total, all City Departments 15,100,499.
Library Board 593,485.
M. T. S 752,355.
Total, all Agencies $16,446,339.
From the above summary it is evident that in
1945 only 71/2 million out of more than 15 million
dollars of purchases by City departments passed
through the control devices of the Department of
Public Works.
A study has been made of the organic Acts of
the House of Correction, the Library Board, the
Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium and the Munici-
pal Court, and the necessary action will be pro-
posed to bring them under the purchasing control,
of the proposed centralized purchasing department.
It is estimated that this consolidated purchas-
ing department will save the city over a million
dollars annually.
Meetings will soon be held by the Committee
on Consolidation, Reorganization and Taxation so
that the necessary action may be taken on estab-
lishment of the centralized purchasing department.
(Signed) Frank Keenan,
Chairman,
Committee on Consolidation, Reorganization
and Taxation.

Engineering Board of Review Membership Enlarged
to Include Airport Consultant.
Honorable Edward J. Kelly, Mayor, submitted a
communication reading as follows:
Office of the Mayor
City of Chicago
March 10, 1947.
To the Honorable, the City Council of the City of
Chicago :
Gentlemen — On December 29, 1943, the City
Council of the City of Chicago passed an ordinance
establishing an Engineering Board of Review for
the purpose of developing a sound program of
public works and the allocation of available funds
for worthwhile City projects, and for the integra-
tion of City Engineering works with projects
undertaken or to be undertaken by other local gov-
ernmental agencies and by private industry.
The ordinance, as amended on July 17, 1945,
provides that the Board of Review shall consist
of the Commissioner of Streets and Electricity as
Chairman, the Commissioner of Public Works, the
Commissioner of Subways and Superhighways, the
Chairman of the Board of the Chicago Transit
Authority, the Commissioner of Buildings, and may
be increased on the invitation of the Mayor to in-
clude the Chief Engineer of the Chicago Park
District and the Chief Engineer of the Sanitary
District of Chicago. It is also provided that a
representative of each of the other local govern-
ments sit with this Board when desirable or when
the engineering projects of such local governments
are involved with City plans.
Since the adoption and amendment of this ordi-
nance the City Council has passed an ordinance
containing an agreement for the employment of
Ralph H. Burke as Airport Consultant and Expe-
diter for the City of Chicago.
In view of this recent action and the extensive
plans for City airport facilities, it seems highly
desirable that the City Airport also be represented
on the Engineering Board of Review, as in the
future many of the projects now under considera-
tion by the Engineering Board of Review will have
direct bearing upon the development of a modern
City airport system.
Therefore, it is recommended that the Council
amend the abovementioned ordinance to include
in the membership of the Engineering Board of
Review the Airport Consultant of the City of
Chicago.
Yours truly,
(Signed) Edward J. Kelly,
Mayor.
By unanimous consent Alderman Bowler thereupon
presented a proposed ordinance reading as follows:
Be It Ordained by the City Council of the City of
Chicago:
Section 1. Section 20-22 of the Municipal Code
of Chicago is hereby amended to read as follows:
"20-22. There is hereby established an engi-
neering board of review. The engineering board
of review shall consist of the commissioner of

of the City of Chicago, and may be increased on
the invitation of the mayor to include the chief
engineer of the Chicago Park District, the chief
engineer of The Sanitary District of Chicago, and
when desirable, a representative of each of the
other local governments when the engineering
projects of such other local governments are in-
volved with city plans. Members of the engineer-
ing board of review shall receive no compensa-
tion for their services as members of the board,
but may be reimbursed for any personal ex-

Dear Mr. Mayor — This evening, February 21st,
I had brought to me the beautiful testimonial to

I live and pass it on to the next generation, hoping

Respectfully and gratefully,

Annual Report of Dept. of Law for 1946.
The following communication transmitting the an-
nual report of the Department of Law for the year
1946, which was Placed on File:
City of Chicago
Law Department
February 11, 1947.
To the Honorable Mayor Edward J. Kelly and the
Honorable City Council of Chicago:
Gentlemen — The report of the Chicago Depart-
ment of Law for the year 1946, prepared in accord-
ance with Section 25-72 of the Municipal Code of
Chicago, is herewith presented.
Your attention is respectfully directed to the fact
that in no previous year has the Law Department
handled such manifold and complex legal problems.
Since 1946 was our first full postwar year, prob-
lems of reconversion, housing, transportation, long-
delayed public construction, returning veterans,
war workers who remained to swell our population
— these and many others taxed the capacity of this
department.
All these problems were met, however, and met
currently, due to the fact that the Law Depart-
ment, reorganized eleven years ago, has year by
year increased its efficiency. The final link in this
effort toward ever smoother functioning was com-
pleted this year, when a stairway connecting the
fifth and sixth floors was installed.
The scope of the Law Department was also in-
creased this year, by the establishment of a Civil
Rights Unit, set up to help draft new city ordin-
ances and statutes, as required, and to aid in the
prosecution of FEPC ordinance violations. Another
important achievement, outside regular routine ac-
tivities, was the publication of a new edition of the
Muncipal Code, requiring months of detailed work
and supervision.
In addition, a special study of socio-economic
problems, affecting Chicago in our first postwar
year was made and will be found in the first section
of this report, including a nation-wide survey of
municipal postwar problems and how they are
being met by other cities. The Research Division,
established as a part of our reorganization pro-
gram, has rendered valuable aid in this study, along
with many other important contributions during
the year.
This report, we believe, speaks for itself. The
achievements recorded would not have been possible
without the splendid cooperation of Mayor Kelly
and the City Council.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) Barnet Hodes,
Corporation Counsel.

Powers and Duties of City Council in Reference to
Annual Tax Levy for School Purposes.
The following communication, which was Placed on
File:
City of Chicago
Department of Law
February 27, 1947.
To the Honorable, The City Council of the City of
Chicago:
Gentlemen — At the meeting of the City Council
of January 23, 1947 an order was passed on motion
of Alderman Waller directing the Corporation
Counsel to render an opinion to your Honorable
Body as to the powers and duties of the City Coun-
cil under existing statutes in reference to the
annual tax levy for school purposes of the Board
of Education of the City of Chicago (see Council
Journal 7070).
When this order was presented for the considera-
tion of the City Council, Alderman Waller indi-
cated his belief that, by the adoption of the School
Code in 1945, the law relating to the levy of taxes
for school purposes had been revised so as to cast
doubt upon the obligation of the City Council to
levy taxes as required by the Board of Education.
Prior to the adoption of the School Code, Section
189 Vs of the School Law governed the tax levy of
the Board of Education of the City of Chicago. The
language employed to designate the taxing au-
thorities for school purposes was, "the board of
education and the authorities of such district, vil-
lage or city, as the case may be, shall be authorized
to levy annually" is substantially the same as the
language employed in Section 34-57 of the School
Code which reads "the board of education and the
authorities of such district or city, as the case may
be, may levy annually." We are of the opinion that
there is no distinction between the language of the
old Act, "shall be authorized to levy," and the
language in the School Code, "may levy".
Our opinion is fortified by the reenactment of
the provision of Section 135 of the old School Law
reading as follows: "And nothing herein contained
shall be construed so as to authorize any such
board of education to levy or collect any tax, but
the city council of said city shall, upon the demand
and under the direction of such board of education,
annually levy all school taxes." That provision is
found in Section 34-59 of the School Code and
reads: "This Article does not authorize the board
to levy or collect any tax, but the city council shall,
upon the demand and under the direction of the
board, annually levy all school taxes."
In levying taxes for school purposes, for many
years past, the functions of the Board of Educa-
tion and the City Council in cities constituting a
school district have been clearly defined by the
Supreme Court of Illinois.
In Koelling v. People (1902) 196 111. 353, at page
360, the court said: "The board of education of the
city of Chicago certified to the city council the
amount required for the establishment and sup-
port of schools*"*. It was then the duty of the
city council to cause the same to be levied***. In
the administration of the School law the city coun-
cil performs the same functions as the school au-
thorities in school districts generally***."
The foregoing case is cited with approval in
Gray v. Board of School Inspectors (1907) 231 111.
63, on page 69, where it is said: "In cities of over
one hundred thousand the board of education cer-
tifies to the city council the amount required for
the establishment and support of schools, and then
it is the duty of the city council to cause the same
to be levied and collected in the same manner as the
law provides for the levying and collecting of
taxes for school purposes. (Koelling v. People, 196
111. 353.)."
The law which makes mandatory the levy of
taxes by the City Council for school purposes, in
accordance with the direction of the school board,
has not been changed to this date.

First Assistant Corporation Counsel.

sumed, within the property acquired by the United
States of America, certain obligations of The Union
Station Company (predecessor of Chicago Union
Station Company) and of Chicago Union Station
Company contained in the contract ordinance pas-
sed by the City Council of the City of Chicago on
March 23, 1914, as amended by an ordinance passed
on January 21, 1931, granting certain rights to

tions (a) to grant to the City of Chicago a per-
manent easement for highway purposes one hun-
dred twenty (120.0) feet in width over said prop-
erty acquired by the United States of America

COMMITTEE ON TRAFFIC AND PUBLIC SAFETY.
State Legislation Recommended to Permit Better
Control of Traffic.
The Committee on Traffic and Public Safety sub-
mitted a report recommending approval of a program
of legislation recommended by the Committee on Leg-
islation of the Chicago Street Traffic Commission.
Alderman Kells moved to concur in the committee's
recommendation and adopt a proposed resolution sub-
mitted with the committee's report.
The motion prevailed and said proposed resolution
was adopted, by yeas and nays as follows :
Yeas — Aldermen Budinger, Harvey, DePriest, Cohen,
Francis J. Hogan, Bohling, DuBois, Pacini, Hartnett,
Michael P. Hogan, Wagner, Kovarik, Murphy,

likoski, Garippo, Lancaster, Cullerton, Cowhey, Crowe,
Waller, Grealis, Merryman, Young, Hilburn, Quirk,
Keenan, Huppert — 44.
Nays — None.
The following is the resolution as adopted:
To the Honorable the Speaker of the House of
Representatives and the Honorable the President
of the Senate of the Sixty-fifth General Assembly
of the State of Illinois:
Whereas, the growing volume of traffic accidents
resulting in large numbers of deaths and injuries
has aroused the public and the press to the neces-
sity of legislation which will enable law enforcing
officers of the cities and the State to more effec-
tively deal with this growing menace to the welfare
of our State, and
Whereas, a committee of the Chicago Street
Traffic Commission, after a careful study and ex-
tensive survey of the causes leading to the great
increase in motor vehicle accidents, has recom-
mended to the Council Committee on Traffic and
Public Safety a program of legislation which in its
judgment will, if enacted, tend to reduce the enor-
mous toll of death and injuries resulting from
traffic accidents, now
Therefore be it Resolved, By the City Council of
the City of Chicago, that we respectfully urge the
General Assembly of the State of Illinois to enact
into law bills on the following subjects :
(1) Parking — That the legislature enact a law
which will enable Chicago to establish and main-
tain parking lots. Bills have been introduced
which would do this. Senate Bill No. 42 (Bid-
will) and House Bill No. 44 (Weber) which are
identical bills, amend the Cities and Villages Act,
giving Chicago the right to engage in the Parking
business. House Bill No. 45 (Weber) is a bill for
an Act in relation to the establishment, acquisi-
tion, construction, maintenance and operation of
motor vehicle parking lots by cities, villages and
incorporated towns.
Also to grant to the Chicago Transit Authority
power to build and operate parking lots in con-
junction with mass transportation.
We recommend that these bills or similar ones
be passed.
House Bill No. 43 (Weber) amends the Cities
and Villages Act to allow the regulation of park-
ing of vehicles on streets by the installation of
meters. We recommend that this bill pass.
(2) Jay Walking — We recommend that a law
authorizing the City to pass an ordinance pro-
hibiting jay walking at specific locations be
passed. Nearly half of the people killed in auto
accidents last year were killed in mid-block acci-
dents. 236 killed in mid-block out of 487 total.
(3) Test for Intoxication — It is recom-
mended that laws be passed establishing scientific
tests for intoxication. Such laws have been
passed in other States and scientific tests have
been used as court testimony in the prosecution
of drunken drivers. Under our existing proce-
dures there were very few convictions for driving
while intoxicated in 1946.
(4) Reckless Homicide — It is recommended
that legislation be passed which would establish
reckless homicide as a criminal offense whereby
prosecutions under this statute might be taken
instead of the existing manslaughter statute
under which it is very difficult to obtain convic-
tions. In 1946 there were only 2 convictions for
manslaughter out of 44 arrests.
(5) State-Wide Compulsory Automobile In-
spection— It is recommended that legislation be
passed establishing State-wide compulsory auto-
mobile inspection. While we have inspection of
vehicles in Chicago the large percentage of vehi-
cles on our streets are from out of the City and
have not had mechanical inspection, thus nulli-
fying to some extent the value of vehicular in-
spection in Chicago.
(6) Subdivision Control — It is recommended
that legislation be passed which will allow Chi-
cago to control subdivisions within the City
limits to the extent that new subdivisions will
not have street layouts which are manifestly un-
safe from the traffic standpoint.
Be it Further Resolved, That the City Clerk is
hereby directed to forward a copy of this resolution
to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and
to the President of the Senate of the State of
Illinois.

Action Directed, Looking to Elimination of Unsanitary
Conditions in Lockups of Police Stations.
A proposed resolution reading as follows:
Whereas, The John Howard Association has re-
leased a report of its investigation of the lockups
in the police stations of the City of Chicago which
reveals that the accommodations in these lockups
are unfit for human beings, lack elementary sani-
tary and toilet facilities, are filthy, verminous,
breeding places for disease and are shockingly
overcrowded; and
Whereas, A great city like Chicago owes a hu-
manitarian duty to its citizens to provide clean,
sanitary places of confinement for persons who may
be arrested, especially since it is a matter of rec-
ord that many who are arrested are found not
guilty by the courts and ordered discharged; and
7374
JOURNAI^CITY COUNCIL— CHICAGO
March 10, 1947
Whereas^ The overcrowding in the lockups is due
in a large measure to the neglect of the municipal
court of Chicago to assign a judge to hold night
court sessions to give persons arrested a prompt
hearing and arrange for their release on bond;
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, That a copy of
the report of the John Howard Association be sent
to the Commissioners of Police, Health and Build-
ings with directions (a) that they and each of
them take prompt steps to correct and eliminate
the evils therein disclosed, and (b) that they shall
submit to this Council within sixty (60) days a
program for the permanent improvement of the
lockups from the standpoint of structural improve-
ment, sanitation and comfort ; and
Be It Further Resolved, That the Municipal Court
of Chicago be requested by the Mayor to assign one
or more of the associate judges of said court to
hold court each and every evening during the week,
Sundays excluded, to hear cases involving arrests
of persons to the end that the cases mav be p"^
ly disposed of or the defendant speedily admitted
to bail and released from custody.

of at least twenty thousand (20,000) persons with-
in a radius of one-half mile of said site; and
Whereas, Said site is an abandoned clay hole
consisting of approximately seventy-six (76) acres
which is a public nuisance by reason of its depth,
its danger to the children in the neighborhood, the
accumulation of stagnant waters affecting the pub-
lic health of the community and is a burden to the
taxpayers of the City of Chicago to police for the
prevention of injury to children of tender age to
whom it is an attractive nuisance ; and
