His Honor the Mayor submitted the following
vet© message:

Chicago, May 9, 1881.
To the City Council of the City of Chicago:

I herewith return to you without my ap-
proval, and for the reasons hereinafter set
forth, an ordinance entitled "An ordinance con-
senting that the Lincoln Park Commissioners
may take parts of Dearborn avenue, Chicago
avenue and Rush street," passed May 2, 1881.

The power conferred by the General Assem-
bly of the State upon the City Council to turn
over streets to Park Commissioners for boule-
vard purposes is one which should be exer-
cised with great care. The streets of the city
belong to the city and its people. To place a
street out of the control of the city and to con-
fer the regulation of the manner in which such
street should be \ised upon a Board over which
the authority of the city does not extend, is
in derogation of the rights of the city and of
its people. To tax the people is the highest
power which can be exercised. The people
should determine how the taxes taken from
them should be expended. The Council should
be certain that the majority of the people are
satisfied with the manner of extending these
taxes. Now to turn a public street into a bou-
levard, and to give the control of such street

to a Park Board, which has the power to ex-
clude from it the people, under certain circum-
stances, and will exclude them unless they use
the same in a manner to be prescribed by such
Board, and to use the taxes for adorning such
street is to use the taxes of those who cannot
so use the street in a manner not satisfactory
to the people so excluded. Have the majority
of the people of the North Division, who will
have to pay a large amount each year to main-
tain the boulevard establishsd by this ordi-
nance, desired it to be established ? So
far from satisfactory evidence having
been furnished you of this desire, you have
every reason to believe just the opposite.
There are in the Clerk's office remonstrances
signed by many thousands of the people in the
North Division who most earnestly protest
against the thing. It is true the streets so pro-
tested against are not precisely the same as
those now fixed upon by this ordinance. It is
said that this ordinance is a compromise one,
but I have every reason to think it is a compro-
mise of a few who have interests in a small part
of the division— to wit: a part of those east of
Clark street. All of the great population west
of Clark street and very many of those east of
this street are as bitterly opposed to the pres-
ent ordinance as they were to the one defeated
last year, and against which these remon-
strances were presented. Remonstrances signed
by hundreds are now pouring in upon me. I can-
not, therefore, consent to taxing the people of
the whole North Side for the benefit of a few,
especially when I have, to me, good evidence
that the great majority object thereto.

If Dearborn avenue be devoted to boulevard
purposes, then there will be but one through
street not occupied by street railroads left open
to the people going north. Have the people
directly interested in this boulevard any great
need of it ? I think not. The Lake-shore drive
extends nearly as far south as a boulevard
should go. Leading up to this drive are several
good streets on which wealthy people live. They
are able and will keep these streets well paved,
so that easy access can be had to the Lake-
shore drive. This drive costs the majority of
the North Division people who are far removed
from it, and who cannot conveniently reach
it, a very great sum each year, and has cost
them to build it, I am imformed, about $200,000.
Why tax them some $10,000 a year in addition to
improve Dearborn avenue, which lies contigu-
ous to this drive? Had the people interested
not protested against the thing, I would have
permitted the ordinance to become a law, as I
did the Michigan avenue and West Washington
street boulevard ordinances. I opposed both
of them on principle. But no one objected, and
it was a thing interesting the people of the
South and West Divisions respectively. I felt
I would yield a principle, when the people
who had to pay seemed unwilling to demand
that I should adhere to it. There are besides,
to my mind, legal objections to this ordinance.
The statute under which it is attempted to be
passed, authorizes Park Commissioners to con-
nect any park, boulevard, etc., under their con-
trol, by selecting and taking any connecting
street or streets, or parts thereof, leading to it.
Sec. 2 of this act says: "That such Board of
Park Commissioners or such corporate
authorities as are authorized to levy
taxes or assessments for maintenance
of such parks, shall have power to improve such
street or streets as they may deem best." Now,
the Lincoln Park Board does not come within
the list of sueh Boards. They cannot levy
taxes or assessments. The Supervisor, Clerk
and Assessor are the authorities designated by
statute for such purposes in the North Divis-
ion. In this respect this Board differs from the
other Park Boards in Chicago. The authorities
having power to levy taxes or assessment, to
wit: the Supervisor, Clerk and Assessor may

May 9,]

[1981

fail to act, the Park Board would then be at its
mercy, and no assessments might be made either
for the first improvement of the boulevard or
for its subsequent annual maintenance ; and in
that event, or in the event of either of these
named contingencies, the Park Board would be
forced to divert funds necessary for the sup-
port of the park, which is for the good of the
whole people, and to apply the same to this
boulevard, which is for a few only. It may be
said that the words " such corporate authori-
ties" above alluded to in Sec. 2 of the act are
intended to cover the Supervisor, Clerk and
Assessor of the North Town. If that view be
taken, then the said Town Board is the Board
authorized to improve the streets taken in
such manner as it may deem best.

This ordinance confers upon the Park Com-
missioners power to improve these streets; the
act of General Assemblv confers this power
upon the Town Board. It may be said that the
Commissioners will determine upon the man-
mer of improvements, and will call upon the
Town Board to make assessments for the first
improvements, and afterward to levy taxes for
the maintenance of those streets. Suppose the
Town Board refuse to do as the Commissioners
wish. Then, as the statute gives no power to
the Board to enforce its wishes, mandamus
would not lie, and endless trouble and litiga-
tion would ensue. The majority of the people
of the North Division who elect the Town
Board, being opposed to this ordinance, there
is every reason to believe that difficulties will
be the" natural result of the passage of this
ordinance. I do not, therefore, think that the
statute under which this ordinance was passed
can give the Council the power to confer upon
the Park Commissioners the control of streets
for boulevard purposes in such shape as will
prove beneficial to the North Side.

Another objection to this ordinance exists of
a legal character, It says it shall be void
unless the Park Commissioners shall select and

take the said parts of streets within days

after the approval of the same. No time being
thus fixed, the Board may take for such selec-
tion so much time as it may please, and the
ordinance would remain in effect until the
courts should determine that the Board has not
made such selection within a reasonable time.
I am imformed that the majority of the Com-
missioners are opposed to the ordinance, and
will be in no hurry to accept it. Litigation
would therefore be very probably.

To (hi- ('/"/// Council of the City "/ CMeag

.ssa^e :
igo.

Gkntmcmhn- In passing from my first into a
second term of office as mayor of this great
city, 1 wisii to express to the citizens of Chica-
go my deep gratitude for the high honor they
have conferred upon me, and to assure them
that in re-electing me by so handsome a major-
ity I feel most keenly that they have placed
me under increased obligations to do my best
to merit their confidence. A public man should
seek popularity only by being worthy of it. It
shall be my earnest endeavor so to win it. To
deserve the applause of the people is my high-
est ambition, to obtain it my greatest pleasure.

It is with confessed pride, gentlemen, that I
congratulate you and the people of Chicago
upon the unexampled prosperity she has enjoy-
ed during the past two years, and upon the
proud financial position she occupies among
the cities of the world; and I felicitate myself
that this proud eminence has been attained, to
a great extent, during my first term of office.
But while saying this, I wish to acknowledge
that it has been my good fortune to be at the
head of the city's affairs during a brighter day
than was vouchsafed to my immediate prede-
cessors. At the same time I owe to my able
assistants the statement that they have been
prompt in taking advantage of this brighter
day, and that they have not wasted the sun-
shine.

Permit me to call your attention to the con-
dition in which I found the city affairs two
years ago, and to contrast it with its present
financial status.

Then, and for several prior year®, the city,
not having the means to pay her servants and
to obtain supplies with cash, was forced to issue
scrip or warrants on the Treasurer, to be paid
from taxes to be collected many months after
such issuance.

In 1878, my predecessor— an economical offi-
cer—issued about $2,238,000.00 of this scrip.
This entailed upon employes a loss of from five
to ten per cent, on the dollar, and upon the
citv, through its contracts, a loss of from $150,-
000"to $200,000 per annum.

By a system of most rigid economy I have
been enabled to reduce the issuance of scrip to
less than $1,500,000 in 1879 and in 1880 to less
than $590,000.

In 1881 I hope to escape the blot of scrip en-
tirely. For twenty-one months every employe
has been paid in cash.

The city cannot legally borrow a dollar, and
yet, not having ready money to meet her semi-
annual interest, she was compelled to hypothe-
cate the interest coupons when due, and to pay
a heavy commission for carrying them until
taxes could be collected. These illegal com-
missions eost her each year from $50,000 to
$70,000.

Since 1879 we have promptly met our interest
without borrowing or paying one cent of com-
missions. Two years ago the city owed $249,000
of what was known as Hayes-Colvin certifi-
cates. These the courts had declared illegal.
But our good name demanded that they should
be paid. We have taken them all up, paying
them in full, together with interest, the whole
amounting to $275,643.00.

In 1880 we paid off $291,000 of 7 100 water bonds,
and refunded $490,000 of 6 and 7 per cent, sew-
erage bonds, with a like amount of 1)6 per cent,
bonds, which we sold at over 2 per cent, pre-
mium, and on the first of April of this year we
refunded $843,500 of 7 per cent, municipal bonds
with a like amount of 4 per cent, bonds, which
command to-day about 4 per cent, premium.

The annual savings of interest thus effected
amounts to $54,215.

In former years the sinking fund had become
depleted by the amount of $236,024; this we
have restored.

From the appropriations of 1879 and 1880 we

May 9,]

[1881.

saved $1,050,000. This heavy saving, added to
taxes of prior years collected, and to cash from
various sources, enabled us to contribute to
the appropriation for 1881, $550,000, and yet left
in the general fund nearly $1,500,000 as a re-
serve to meet current expenses and to enable
us to avoid the issuance of scrip.

This financial showing T make, gentlemen,
n©t boastfully, but to enable you and the peo-
ple to enjoy with me a feeling of justifiable
pride.

From savings of prior years we gave to the
appropriation for this year $550,000. We cannot
hope to make like savings from the present ap-
propriations. Prices of every material and of
wages are on the increase. It will probably
take everv dollar of the appropriation to run
the city." You have allowed only two and a
half per cent, for probable deficiency in col-
lection of taxes. Last year you allowed ten
per cent. We may find ourselves on this ac-
count saddled with a deficiency. We can hope
for but little from back taxes. I therefore
earnestly recommend that you will look square-
ly in the face the probable necessity for raising
a largely increased amount of revenue from
licenses.

There is no reason why a poor peddler or ex-
pressman should pay a license to enable him to
ply a trade which barely keeps his wife and
child from starvation, while hundreds of deal-
ers whose occupations bring them princely
ineomes should go scot free. There are occu
pations of a most profitable character requir-
ing no capital which the assessor can find,
which could bear a very considerable price for
license. There are other occupations which
increase the fire hazard of the whole city to a
great extent, which wear away our paved
streets, many of those pursuing wrhich have
accumulated vast fortunes within a few years,
which could pay a larger revenue to the city
than do its 3,000 saloons, and yet not feel de-
pleted bank accounts.

The city will need something from many of
these occupations to enable it to run decently
next year.

Why should they go free, while the poor
widow has to pay a license for the privilege of
furnishing the rich with cooks and chamber-
maids, or the cripple for the privilege of earn-
ing his living at an apple stand ? I earnestly
urge you to provide for the collecting for
licenses from every character of occupation
permitted by the city's charter.

THE DEPARTMENT OP FINANCE.

The management of the finance ,oi a great

city like Chicago, laboring, as it has under pe$
culiar embarassments, is not an easy task. Few
men fully impressed with its duties and re
sponsibilities would undertake it. The choice
for this deparment has proved a fortunate one,
and when I say that a more earnest, zealous
and efficient Comptroller than its present in-
cumbent has not filled the office, I only re-echo
the opinion of leading financial men who have
had any dealings with the city. He has ably
assisted in the carrying out the line of policy
which I deemed the utmost important in a scrip-
ridden community. Through hia energetic ef-
forts cash payments were resumed and my aim
realized.

This change effected a saving to city employes
of thousands of dollars per annum, and enabled
us to make better bargains for the city's work.

With the same prudent management we
shall continue on the cash bas'8 and place the
city in a position where it will never be obliged
to go back to a depreciated paper, and stand, as
it were, hat in hand, awaiting the pleasure and
service of others. I refer you to the Comp-
troller's report for a detailed statement of the
city's finances up to January 1st, 1881.

THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.

Under the immediate eye and control of this
department rests all work of a public charac-
ter. Without a vigilant care and the strictest
honesty thousands of dollars would be annually
squandered, and rings of a most dangerous
character fostered. The record of this depart-
ment has demonstrated that its present head
thoroughly understands the requirements of
his position, and has rendered the public signal
service by his firm course in awarding contracts
upon their merits, and not through favoritism.
Strict business principles have prevailed, and
everv contractor has been fairly and honestly
served. In consequence there has been a most
free and healthy competition for all public
works.

The rings that predominated before have been
routed at every turn. Their various attempts
to assert themselves in important contracts
have been frustrated, and the city has been a
gainer thereby by thousands of dollars. More
work has been accomplished for less money
than the same class of work has cost before,
and small appropriations have answered where
larger ones would have been required were the
old order of things in vogue. Of the improved
order of things no better evidence can be fur-
nished than the following comparative state-
ments for the years 1877, 1878, 1879 and 1880:

Nearly two years ago I earnestly urged the
Councifto take immediate steps for the erec-
tion of two additional pumping engines at the
West side pumping works. I again called your
attention to it a year ago. I have found no rea-
son to change my mind as to the urgency of
this work. Should one or more of the present
engines break, and no one can be sure that they
will not, then an outraged people, suffering for
water, which should be given them as freely
as air, will call your supine neglect by the
name crime.

I believe the wooden period for street paving
should pass away from Chicago. Our central
and heavily trafficked streets need something
more durable than sappy pine, or cedar blocks
cut from burnt-over swamps. Granite and Me-
dina sandstone can be had without stint.

The beauty and health of the city require
that such pavements should become the rule
and not the exception in the heart of the city.
A few nervous gentlemen may object to the
noise, but they should remember that the mu-
sic of the pine covered forests is not compata-
ble with the busy traffic of a mighty commer-
cial city.

Ashland avenue, paved nine years since, and
now nearly as smooth as when first improved,
and Jackson street, which has stood the test of
a severe winters frost, and is to-day crowded
by persons testing the metal of their readsters,
prove the great superiority of Macadam over
wooden blocks for outside residence streets.
It may be objected that they are muddy when
wet and dusty when dry, but tney are wet

only a short period of the year, and properly
constructed sprinklers keep down the dust at
a comparitively small cost.

I recommend that you will hereafter throw a
cold shoulder to the wTooden block contractor
for such streets, and that you will understand
that private contracts for paving streets are
less for the interests of the city than of a few
who engineer them through. Stone block pave-
ment for the heavily trafficked streets, and
good Macadam for outside streets, where rapid
pid locomotion is desirable, and wide tired
trucks and wagons, should be your care in the
future.

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

In speaking of this department, I can say
that it is upon a most efficient and satisfactory
footing. Less crime has been prevalent than
heretofore and the morals of the city were
never in better condition. The chiefs of this
department have rendered me prompt and ener-
getic service, and criminals have found it safer
and more comfortable to remain away from the
city. What has been done can be best shown
by the statement that while the recoveries of
stolen property for the years 1877 and 1878 were
within $70,207 of the value of property reported
stolen, they were only $31,754 below the value
of stolen property in 1879 and 1880. Besides the
value of stolen propeity has been less for the
past two years by $69,444.

When I came into office two years ago there
had existed for years in this city an organized
gang of bank robbers, the most successful and

May 9,]

ri88i.

daring of any in the whole country. They com-
mitted no known crime here, but making this
their headquarters, raided banks throughout
the union. They defied the police or silenced
them, and boasted that they could not be held m
jail In July, 1879, they committed a bold rob-
bery in Galesburgand came here to enjoy their
plunder. I determined that Chicago should
not harbor outlaws to prey upon our neighbors.
By careful working, the Police Department
found evidence against these fellows, and sent
some of them to the scene of their crime. After
long delays of the law and against the machi-
nations of corrupt but able friends, one of the
«-ang is in our penitentiary for eight years;
another, escaping to Canada, is incarcerated for
several years; a third has been in jail in Gales-
burg for many months awaiting his trial, and
the remainder are scattered and dare not again
to come here.

The destruction of this gang has done much
to terrify other such organizations and to keep
them from making this their home. There is
not to-day a single organized gang of outlaws
in Chicago.

In connection with this improved state of
affairs I desire to say that the telephone police
alarm stations have proved a most valuable
adjunct to the department. We began with
its introduction in the West Twelfth street
district, which was overrun with desperadoes,
roughs and footpads, and finding it so useful in
summoning police to apprehend this class, that
we have so extended the system to other por-
tions of the city that districts hitherto com-
paratively unprotected are now thoroughly
under police surveillance. There have been
established already some ninety alarm stations,
and had the City Council set a larger appropri-
ation than it did we should cover other still
remote and unprotected sections. But for this
change the present police force would be en-
tirely inadequate to meet the demands of the
city Our force is the smallest of any large
city in the country. The present number com-
posing it is almost the same as it was when we
had a little over half of our present population.
Increased efficiency and telephonic communi-
cations have rendered the force doubly service-
able and aided in a very material and percept-
able decrease in crime.

For this telephonie innovation and improve-
ment tipon old police methods we are chiefly
indebted to Professor John P. Barrett and Mr.
Austin J. Doyle, who'originated and perfected
the system. The system contemplates connec-
tions with business houses and private resi-
dences, and already several have availed them-
selves of its benefit to be in a position to re-
ceive prompt police assistance in case of an
emergency. It has already proved itself of
incalculable value to the department, and will
be made to cover the city as rapidly as means
will permit. I have directed the Superinten-
dents of the Police and Fire Departments to
make as large savings as possible in their re-
spective departments, and to apply the same to
an extension of the system. I hope in this
way to cover to some extent the mistake made
by the Council in not making a more liberal
appropriation for the complete extension of the
system over the city.

The success of our Police Department is the
more striking when we contrast its number
with that of other cities. The disparity may
be shown by the following:

CltV- latum. Force. u^cer- Hants.

Baltimore.... 300.000 594 1 to 500

Chicago 503.000 390 1 to 1,289

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

In looking over the records of this depart-
ment for the past four years, I find that it has
not only coped more successfully with fires,
but kept down the average loss during the
past two years at a point below that of the
two preceeding years, in spite of the greater
number of conflagrations in the latter period.
In 1877 and 1878 there were 923 fires, and the
amount of loss involved was $1,351,314.00, mak-
ing the average loss $2,989, while in 1879 and
1880 there were 1606 fires and a loss of $1,707,898,
making the average loss only $1,980. It will be
accordingly noted from this that while there
were 683 more fires during the past two years
than during the two preceeding years, the
average loss has been $1,009 less for the past
two years. This speaks volumes of praise for
the effective working of the force as at pres-
ent constituted.

HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

No department of the city has shown more
efficiency during my term of office than this.
The city as grown in population with great ra-
pidity. It has been impossible for the appli-
ances necessary to health to keep pace with
this growth. While the population of the city
is that of one of centuries growth, the street
pavements and sewerage system has been nec-
essarily that of a city of two generations of
men.

Many of the manufacturing interests have
extended with a rapidity vastly beyond the
city's growth, some of these interests are
of a character ordinarily offensive to the
senses and supposed to be injurious to the
health. A quarter of a century ago there were
packed in Chicago 56,000 hogs, during the last
year over 6,000,000. The slaughtering of other
animals has increasod almost as rapidly. Near-
ly all of this growth has been within the past
decade.

The great amount of refuse matter from this
vast horde of animals has to be taken care of.
The most of it is utilized. This naturally
gives out offensive odors and if not promptly
attended to, breeds disease.

For years the summer air was offensive, that
of autumn and winter often almost intolerable.
Some of the finest portions of the city were of-
ten times for weeks unfit for delicate people to
live in. By a steady perseverance, knowing no
favor and fearing no opposition, fighting in the
courts, abused and vilified,— the head of the
health department has done his duty. While
he has fought stenches, he has stood by me in
upholding our great manufacturing interests.
Consequently it can be said to-day that there
has been nothing to offend the nostrils within
eighteen months.

People are absolutely forgetting there ever
was a Bridgeport stink, and yet the great in-
dustries which formerly caused these stenches
are growing day by day, until they are become
one of the wonders of the world and their
proprietors, who formerly cursed us for forcing
them at great expense to abate and ^prevent
nuisances, are to-day our warmest supporters.

Our people, easily alarmed by a sensational
press, make great outcries when the water
happens to be less clear than crystal, and de-
mand that we spend some ten millions to get a
new water supply, that they may then growl at
the cost which such outlay will entail. In 1877,
for a few days, the water supply was some-
what defiled, and lately it has been roily for
some ten days. But even during these worst
days Chicago's water was better than that in
everyday use in many American cities, and pure
compared to that of any of the large Euro-
pean cities. A change from one kind of water
to another nearly always effects one unpleas-
antly and sometimes injuriously. No one from
any of our inland countries, where hard lime-

[1881.

stone water comes from spring or well, can go
from Niagara to Montreal by boat without suf-
fering disagreeable efleots. The effects are,
however, temporary. And yet the water of
Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence is of
crystal clearness.

The tlood pouring from an overflowed country
lately caused a changed water to come from
our crib and affected our people temporarily.
It was injurious to very weak people and
caused strong ones (to their bodily discom-
fort) Co take to so-called mineral water or to
indulge unusually in beer or liquor, and at
once reporters seeking items find doctors eager
to cry " poison in our water." A little precau-
tion tor a week or so every few years can pre-
vent our people from suffering, and during all
the remainder of their lives here they enjoy
the coolest and purest water of the inhabitants
of any large city on the face of the globe.

Some people who have been to my knowledge
horrified during the past ten days at Chicago's
water, are now going with or sending their fam-
ilies to Europe, where they can in no city get a
glass of water much purer than can be dipped
up inside of our breakwater. Over there they
will drink mineral water and wine, and will
spend thousands of dollars to have the oppor-
tunity of doing so in foreign lands.

Their steward's fees aboard ship would have
purchased pure water from Waukesha for the
entire time during which the water of the city
has been lately roiled.

The following statement will show that no
one need flee from Chicago to find a more
healthy city:

GAMBLING.

One of the questions which has agitated our
citizens and the public press recently is that of
gambling. On this subject I have been severe-
ly criticised in some quarters and in other quar-
ters as eminently respectable I have been en-
dorsed in the position I have assumed. If not
openly, it has been very generally tacitly ad-
mitted that it is, impossible to thoroughly
eradicate the evil, but as to the exact course to
pursue towards it, a diversity of opinions
exists among those whe have fully examined
this phrase of social life.

We cannot, "some say," "rid the community
of gambling, but how can the evil be reduced
to its minimum effect ? There seems to be the
rub. Those who have so rigorously cried out
for its extermination have failed to suggest
any possible or practicable plan by which the
desired end can be accomplished. In their blind
zeal they seem to forget the essential results
of all attempts, viz: That every effort at its
annihilation has been attended with a dismal
failure. They are by no means left without
practical examples of the results of such
efforts. If they would only pause in their
frenzy and direct their attention to the time
sporting or club houses were presumptively
closed, they would easily recall facts that indi-
cated that not only the private precincts of
hotels and public buildings, but fashionable
resorts were invaded and games of chance in-
dulged in. There, free from and unobserved
by the guardians of the law, young as well as
old were " taken in and fleeced." A few

wealthy gamblers managed to run their places
behind lacked doors and by means of a liberal
feeing, officers intrusted to see that there was
no gambling, blinked at violations of the law,
passed on and kept the central authorities in
ignorance of their existence. When it was
finally discovered that one place was in full
blast," the police made a descent upon it, an
explosion of powder ensued, and the case went
into the state courts, where Judge McAllister
held substantially that police officers had no
authority to break in the doors of places where
it was not absolutely certain that gambling was
being regularly conducted therein. Thisdecision
was looked upon as a victory by the gamblers
and gambling shops opened, with various self-
imposed restrictions, in different section! of the
city. Ropers-in flourished extensively and
gambling held undisputed sway behind doubly
barred and screened doors. Subsequently the
owners of these places put a bold front to their
vocation, and in view of former experience,
the then existing administration evinced no
special inclination to break them up. They
were accordingly in a high tide of prosperity
long before I entered upon the mayoralty, and
the authorities were fully cognizant at all
times of their location.

Considering what the results had been, I
came to the conclusion on becoming Mayor that
the evil must be kept within proper bounds and
restrictions. More than that, I determined to re-
strict these houses to the central portions of the
city, where they could be closely watched and
kept in check. By this course of procedure I
had in view the easy and unrestricted entrance
of either the police to detect sharp practices
by the gamblers, keep minors out and find any
crooked person who might seek its enchant-
ments, or of business men who might desire to
see whether an employe was squandering
money surreptitiously taken from his funds.
By such course as I have thus outlined I have
had the endorsement of a large number of cit-
zens, and the results have been far better than
they would have been under different condi-
tions. Under the apparent rigid rule in vogue
in 1873, there were in the city forty-four gam-
bling establishments, and twenty odd bunko
places; in 1877 over thirty gambling houses
and a dozen or more bunko rooms, while during
1880 there have not been more than seventeen
of the former and not a single bunko establish-
ment. I notice the correspondent of the Tri-
bune says there are in Washington City, with a
population less than one-third of that of Chi-
cago, from twenty-five to thirty gambling
house in full blast, and yet he says they pull
them frequently and break up their furniture.
The present state of affairs here is due to re-
strictions, and while a great number of com-
plaints came to my office shortly after my in-
auguration, there have been not more than a half
dozen within the past eighteen months. The plan
of keeping these places in the heart of the city
enables the police officers to learn where brace
boxes are played upon unsuspecting victims.
Such houses are promptly dealt with. Those
that are run are put upon their good behavior,
minors are excluded, and those who must play
protected from the tricks of dealers; and games
of a character calculated to attract the man of
small means, and the young are being etirely
prevented.

I am not defending gambling per se, but if my
position is wrong in dealing with it from a
practical standpoint, the people have their
remedy. They can appeal to an authority
higher than mine; and strange it is that such
citizens and newspapers as have assailed me
have not also directed their batteries toward
that authority. Those who think my plan not
the best have a State law under which any one
so disposed can take his hand in suppressing
gambling.

May 9,]

[1881.

I fear however, that Mr. Lincoln was not
mistaken when he said that "statutory enact-
ments can't turn a calf's toil into a third hind
leg" The fireside, the lyceum and the well
stocked public library will do more than laws
to suppress social evils.

But those who differ with me have a law un-
der which a citizen, feeling that the communi-
ty has been outraged by the existence of gam-
bling, can go and swear out a warrant and
secure satisfaction. The Grand Jury are open
to his complaints, and even the assistance of
the State's Attorney can be invoked.

In conclusion, I desire to return my thanks
to the members of the outgoing Council and to
the various heads of the different departments
for their kind assistance and courtesies, and to
ask the indulgence and aid of the incoming
Council in all measures looking to the welfare
and prosperity of the city.

SPECIAL ORDER.

The Chair directed that the special order, the
report of the select committee on resolution of
Aid. Hildreth, concerning extension of the
water works, be now taken up.

Aid. Oullerton moved to concur in the report
and pass the resolution.

The motion prevailed.

The following are the resolution and report:

Whereas, The water supply of the city
of Chicago, must in the near future
be largely increased, and whereas
the water has occasionally been impure and is
liable from sewerage and other sources to be
affected in the future, and whereas the only
relief that will be permanent will be to take
the water from some point so far northward
that it cannot be contaminated by our sewer-
age, and whereas the city of Chicago cannot
raise the money to build such works without
the power to issue bonds, and whereas such
bonds cannot be issued without an amendment
for that purpose to the constitution of this
State, and whereas as the State Legislature is
about to adjourn it is necessary that immediate
action should be taken by this Council if they
deem it proper to begin the construction of new
water works, therefore be it

Resolved, That the Legislature of this State
be and is hereby requested by the City Council
of the City of Chicago to submit to the people
of this State, at the next general election, an
amendment to the State constitution authoriz-
ing the city of Chicago to issue bonds to the
amount of five millions of dollars to be expend-
ed for the purpose of furnishing a supply of
pure water to said city.

To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Chi-
cago m Council assembled :

Your Committee to whom was referred a
resolution of Aid. Hildreth asking, the passage
of a joint resolution by the State Legislature
for an amendment to the constitution of the
State for the purpose of allowing the city to
issue $5,000,000 of bonds for the extension of
the water works, having had the same under
advisement, submit the following report and
recommend the passage of the resolution.

The question of a supply of pure water to
cities has been so often discussed that there is
no necessity ©f your Committee dilating upon
it. A greater supply we must have in the near
future.

New York City, when smaller than Chicago
now is, expended twenty-eight millions of dol-
lars to get a supply from the Croton river, and

has expended many millions since to increase
the quantity and improve the.quality.

Liverpool \jy oposes to bring water from Wales,
that the city may have pure water.

Philadeldhia, so celebrated for its works,
which gives an ample supply, is now consider-
ing the expenditure of twenty-five millions of
dollars to bring pure water from a distance of
thirty or more miles.

Chicago has an unlimited supply of water,
purer than that of any city in the world, within
easy reach, and the only question is what is
the best means of making it available ?

The details of any plan must be prepared by
competent engineers.

It is evident to any one giving the least con-
sideration to the subject that our object is at-
tainable by going North of the city, the dis-
tance to be decided by examination, but from
the Government surveys the depth of water
increases near shore North of Grosse Point, and
the observation of lake men is that the water
is much less roily during storms than in front
of the city, there being but ten feet increase
of depth at four miles beyond the crib.

If we go further into the lake the distance
must be considerable, as the bad water from the
river this spring extended three miles and a
half beyond the present crib, and the ice some
nine miles from shore, as well as North and
Northeast.

Your Committee belives that it is due to the
citizens of Chicago that this Council shall take
such action as will provide a supply of pure
water and from a source that will ensure it
against interruption and contamination.

Your Committee further believes that the
source of supply is in Lake Michigan, and that
it can be reached at a point within a reasonable
distance and at a comparatively moderate ex-
pense.

Two places have been suggested to your
Committee, but the choice of either or any
other place must be the result of examinations
and estimates made by competent engineers.
j" One plan is to seek the high ground North of
Chicago, where reservoirs can be constructed
at such an elevation as to give the necessary
head in the city.

This plan involves the conducting the water
in iron pipes, having sufficient capacity to fur-
nish the supply after allowing for friction, but
the cost of such a plan may be objected on
account of its expense. A rough estimate by
an engineer puts the cost of this plan at ten to
twelve millions of dollars.

A second plan is to run a tunnel of ten feet
diameter from the present pumping works to
a point east of, or east and north of Grosse
Point, or perhaps, better, two tunnels of eight
feet diameter each, which, though costing
somewhat more than a single ten foot tunnel,
would have the advantage of giving a larger
supply, and in case of accident to, or the
stoppage of one, it could be examined and
cleaned or repaired while the other would fur-
nish a supply.

The first plan would be virtually an aban-
donment of our present pumping works, while
the second plan contemplates their continued
use as now.

The second plan could be carried out with
great facility by working nnder the land, thus
enabling the contractors to sink frequent work-
ing shafts and working two forces from each
shaft.

By retaining permanently shafts each mile,
gates can be put in so that it could be pumped
out and cleaned or repaired by sections.

As a guide to the cost of this work the cost of
the seven foot tunel is taken as a basis, and
the difference between the seven and eight
feet is balanced by the advantages presented
by working on land.

The following will give an approximate esti-
mate:

May 16,]

[1881.

The seven feet, or new tunnel, cost per lineal
foot, twenty six dollars, equal to $137,280 dollars

Sermile.

rate per mile, for 12 miles would be $l.(>;>/..5t>o

For Two eight feet tunnels §3.314.720

$8,977,664

\dd to this the expense of a crib of
sufficient capacity and strength.... $ 500.000

Add also two miles for contingencies
of route, and possibly to reach the
best point for a crib, at the same
rate of cost 329.4/2

And we have a total estimate of.... $4.S07.136
It it the belief of vour Committee that
5 000,000 of dollars will cover all the cost of a
work that would bring our water supply free
from all contamination from any source, and
free from the constant obstruction by ice
everv winter.

The United States surrey ana soundings show
that a suitable depth of water for a crib is
found much nearer shore at and North of Grosse
Point than at any other point South of there.

During each and every winter, and especially
the last, the crib has been kept free from ice
bv much labor and expense.

"During the past winter the ice field has ex-
tended about nine miles North and East, and
reliable observers state that North of Grosse
Point the lake has been clear of floating ice,
showing that the ice is driven South until it is
held bv this shore. If the present tunnel sys-
tem is extended two or four miles further into
the lake it will not be clear of floating ice, and
at such a distance from shore it would be next
to impossible to keep the communication with
it open, as it has been found to be imperatively
necessary. . sJ.,.

as to the question of creating an additional
debt for the water supply, it seems to your
committee there should be no objection, inas-
much as the expenditure is a legitimate one for
an investment, and there is no reason why
those who come after should not bear their
proportion of the expenditure made as well for
their benefit as for our own. If done by taxa-
tion, the property at its present low values
would have to pay for work to last fifty and
perhaps one hundred years, for the benefit and
use of the same property when it will be
doubled or quadrupled in value.

To exemplify the matter, we will look at the
past and see what results have been accom-
plished by the creation of a debt:
The total debt of the Water De-
partment, as per report of 1880, is $3,957,000.00
Represented by 6 and 7 per cent.

bonds.
The total cost of the Water Works,
including land, buildings, en-
gines, pipes, crib and tunnels, by
the same report, is 8,802,725.10

The total revenues, per report of

1880 . . $11,200,658.61

Total expense and interest, per

same report 9,434,190.93

Surplus $1,765,967.68

The revenue has paid the interest on the
debt, all operating expenses, bought land and
engines, and paid for the last tunnel and ex-
tended the system of pipes very largely.

From the surplus of $374,853.62

There was used for the extension of
water pipes 119,851.00

Leaving net surplus of .$255,002.62

Now if the water debt \\ as increased by $5,000,-
000 of bonds at 4 per cent, or even 4><< per cent.,
the showing of 1879 would do as much as was
then done and leave a surplus, without consid-
ering that t here must bo each year a consider-
able increase of revenue.

^ our committee believe that the contest
made against the sewage of the city passing
through tho canal will be renewed year by
year by the people on the line of the Des
Plaines and Illinois rivers, with the influence
of so large a section, there can be do doubt that
the Legislature will provide that Chicago must
otherwise provide an outlet for its sewage.

If this is done Lake Michigan is our only
practicable deposit for it, and in such case we
shall be compelled to seek a source for our
water other than in a line from our city so
easily affected from the river.

Should such a result ensue, it is evident that
Hyde Park will be compelled to ask a connec-
tion with our water supply for the use of their
town, including South Chicago, and the town
of Lake.

In such case the revenue from our water
supply would warrant the expenditure of
double the amount that is now proposed.

The making a ship canal, of the Illinois and
Michigan, is a work of such magnitude that it
can onlv be undertaken by the General Gov-
ernment, and if begun it will be a work of
several years.

REPORTS OF CITY OFFICERS.

The City Comptroller submitted a report in
answer to a resolution offered by Aid. Lawler

concerning the Exposition building, which was
ordered

Published and referred to the Committee on
Judiciary when appointed.

The following is the report :

City of Chicago, i

Department of Finance, May 16, 1881. \
To His Honor the Mayor and Aldermen in City
Council assembled:

Referring to your resolution adopted on the
2d day of tne present month, "concerning the
use of the lake front by the exposition building,
and requesting the City Comptroller to com-
municate to the Council at iis next regular
meeting his views upon said matter, and inform
the Council what amount should, in his opinion,
be required to be paid for the use of said
grounds, together with such other information
as he may deem necessary to communicate," I
report: That the action of the City Council
permitting the construction of the exposition
building, and other proceedings relating there-
to, will be found upon pages 187, 193, and 486 of
the published proceedings of your honorable
body, for the years 1872 and 1873; upon pages
53, 104, 137, and 490 of the proceedings for the
years 1873, 1874, 1875, and 1876; upon page 255 of
the proceedings for the years 1877 and 1878; and
upon pages 72 and 73 of the proceedings of 1879
and 1880.

Tne action of the City Council, April 28, 1873,
provided for the construction of the building
under the direction of the Board of Public
Works, limiting its existence to May 12, 1874.
Subsequently, May 23, of the latter year, this
limitation was extended to May 1, 1876, and
never further continued.

On the 25th day of January, 1875, the Judici-
ary Committee of the City Council made a re-
port (concurred in) upon a proposal to permit
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company to
occupy a section of' the edifice, recommending
that such proposal be "placed on file, as the
whole matter had been referred to the Law
Department with instructions to take action."
We cannot find that the Law Department acted
in the premises.

On the 27th day of December, 1875, a resolu-
tion was presented to the Council, and placed
on file, asking that the Inter-State Exposition
Association pay to the City $5,000, being one-
half of the proceeds of a walking match.

On Dec. 3, 1877, a resolution was offered in-
structing the Department of Public Works to
take immediate steps for the removal of the
railroad company and other parties occupying
the exposition building. We do not find that
any attention was given to this mandate of the
Council.

June 10, 1878, your Judiciary Commitee
offered a resolution (adopted) that the
directors of the Inter-State Exposition
Association be notified that the occupancy
of the premises by the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad was in violation of the terms upon
which said Association was permitted to use
the premises, and it was further resolved that
the Department of Public Works be directed to
take possession of the building and eject said
railroad company. It does not appear that any
notice was taken of the order.

I have given the foregoing as matters of in-
formation.

If the premises had been devoted to the ob-
jects contemplated by the exposition organiza-
tion, I am of the opinion that it would not be
insisted that compensation should be made to
the city for the use of the ground occupied;
but as the association is receiving large reve-
nues from the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, and
from various organizations and exhibitions, I
am clearly of the opinion that an equitable pro-
portion thereof should be devoted to the uses
of the municipality. If, however, such propo-
sition is declined, it is our belief that your
honorable body should direct that the city gov-

eminent enter at once upon the possession of
the premises, as by ordinance provided.
Respect Fullj submit ted,

Theodore T. Gurnet,

Comptroller.

ALSO,

The City Comptroller submitted a report
covering an opinion of the Corporation Counsel
on the appropriation for Lighting streets with
other material than gas, which was ordered

Published and referred to the Committee on
Finance, when appointed.

The following is the report:

City of Chicago. j

Department of Finance, May 16, 1881. j
To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Chi-
cago in City Council assembled:

l inclose herewith the opinion of the Corpora-
tion Counsel upon the appropriations for the
fiscal year for lighting streets with other ma-
terial than gas.

In view of the diificulties surrounding my
duties in this regard, I ask for yonr further
instructions, and would suggest that you deter-
mine upon the ttreets to be lighted, and also
that special assessments be levied tor lamp-
posts on such streets.

Respectfully submitted,

Theodore T. Gurnet,

Comptroller.

The opinion of the Corporation Counsel is as
follows:

City Law Department, I
Chicago, May 14, 188L j
T. T. Gurnet, Esq.,

City Comptroller:

Dear Sir— The appropriation of $20,000 for
lighting streets with material other than gas
(Council proceedings 1881, p. 542) provides that
one-half of the appropriation shall be used for
"lighting streets where assessments for lamp-
posts have been made and paid and no gas-
mains vet laid." This language evidently con-
templated that no part of one-half of the
appropriation shall be used for the purchase or
erection of lamp-posts, but that the assess-
ments made and paid for lamp-posts shall be
used for that purpose in lighting the streets
when such assessments have been made, and
where no gas-mains have been laid. In other
words, that in lighting with material other than
gas streets in which no gas-mains are laid, and
where special assessments have been made and
paid for lamp-posts, the special assessments are
to be used for the purchase of suitable lamp-
pests for lighting, exclusive of the lamp-posts.

Taking into consideration the order passed
March 14, 1883, authorizing you to enter into a
contract for the erection of street lamps, and
lighting the streets, etc., in connection with the
appropriation, it is clear that $10,000, or one-half
the appropriation, may be expended for the
expense of lighting, including the expense of
erecting lamp-posts on streets where no assess-
ments have been made for lamp-posts, and
where no gas-mains have been laid.

The order of March 14, 1881, and the appropri-
ation hill, leaves the selection of the streets to
be lighted in your discretion; that is, taking
the class of streets described in the order and
appropriation bill, it is left to your discretion
which of them shall he lighted. I think it
would have been the better and safer course for
the Council to have designated the streets to
be lighted.

Respectfully,

Francis Adams,
Corporation Counsel.

The Clerk presented the report of the Com-
missioners to make estimate for three lamp
posts on Locust street, from N. Clark street to
N. La Salle street.

Aid. Burley moved that the report be ap-

The following is the opinion:
To the Honorable City Council of the City of

Chicago:

Tour honorable body passed, June 13, 1881,
a resolution requesting an opinion from me on
the following question, viz : Whether the City
Council possessed the authority to compel the
gas companies of this city to lay down gas
mains wbere so ordered to do by the Council.

I am of the opinion that the City Council
I possesses no such power. The Chicago Gas

Light and Coke Company was incorporated by
act approved February 32, 1849, which was
amended by act approved February 9, 1855, and
the People's Gas Light and Coke Company
was incorporated by act of February 12, 1855,
amended by act of August 30, 1858, and Febru-
ary 2, 1865.

Laws and Ord. 1873, p. 122-176.

The gas companies do not derive their power
to lay gas mains and pipes in the public streets.
That power is expressly conferred by the acts
of the General Assembly.

Laws and Ord. 1873, p. 172, Sec. 2, p. 174-5, Sees.

The extent of the power of the Council is to
establish proper regulations for the protec-
tion of the streets and to prevent damages, etc.

The following is the report:
To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Chi-
cago, m Common Council assembled.

Your Committee on Fire and Water, to whom
was referred the order for additional pumping
engines to be located in the West Division of
the city, having had the same under advise-
ment, beg leave to report:

That your committee have given the question
of additional pumping engines their careful
consideration; also, a committee from the Citi-
zens' Association appeared before your com-
mittee to urge the adoption of their plans for
central pumping works. After hearing from
their engineer, Mr. Jackson, as to the advan-
tage and need of central works, your commit-
tee feel that they would not be justified from
the existing facts in recommending the adop-
tion of their plans. We find that by construct-
ing central works, as per plans of Citizens'
Association, the city would be compelled to
buy appropriate grounds, construct a branch
tunnel connecting with the present West Side
tunnel, build a new stand-pipe, buildings,
smoke-stacks, etc., etc., all of which would
cost, as per estimate of engineer, at least
$727,919, when, by building the pair of engines
of the capacity set forth in the order presented
to your honorable body at the West Pumping
Works, where a large portion of the expense
necessary to locating the engines has already
been incurred and arrangements made which
would cause a great loss of money to the city
were the original plans not carried out, they
can be erected and put in operation at a cost not
exceeding $373,269, thereby making a difference
in the outlay of $354,680 in favor of the West
Side Pumping Works, and at the same time in-
crease the water supply of the city over 30 per
cent, ; and under the present almost completed
system of large water mains, connecting the
works in the North Division with those in the
West Division, a uniform pressure equal to
that gained by building works in the centre of
the city can be maintained where most needed.

Your Committee would most respectfully call
the attention of the Council to the opinion of
the Law Department on this subject, published
on page 446, Council proceedings, dated March
2, 1881, where it is distinctly stated that the
Council has not the power, owing to the small
surplus of the Water Fund on hand, to contract
for buying a site, but will have only money by
the time the engines are completed and ready
for delivery two years from this date to pay for
them, estimating their cost at $250,000. Your
Committee would therefore recommend the
passage of the accompanying order prepared by
the Law Department.

J. D. Everett,
O. D. Wetherell,
John Murphy,
Thos. Purcell,

C. HlRSCH.

Be it ordained by the City Council of the City of

Chicago:

That the Mayor and Commissioner of Public
Works be, and they are hereby, authorized to
enter into a contract on behalf of the city for

two pumping engines to be used at the West
Side Pumping Works, each engine to be of suf-
ficient capacity to raise 15,000,000 United States
gallons every twenty-four hours to the height
of 150 feet above the city datum; also for nec-
essary foundations for said engines, and for a
suitable and necessary extension of the present
pumping-works building and appurtenances.

Whereas, A casualty happening since the
last appropriation requires the erection of said
engines, therefore it is ordered that the sur-
plus of the Water Fund in excess of the amount
necessary to meet the interest on the water
bonds and ordinary current expenses be and
the same is hereby appropriated for the engines
and work ordered as aforesaid.

The following communication:

Mayor's Office, \
Chicago, July 6, 188L )
To the City Council of the City of Chicago :

Gentlemen: Since your last session the
hand of an assassin has been lifted against the
life of the President of the United States. It
has caused a thrill of horror to fill the hearts
of all good men throughout the civilized world,
and the people of the United States have been
inexpressibly shocked that such an attempt
should have been a second time made against
their first magistrate and their most exalted
servant.

The citizens of Chicago have had but one
feeling aroused by this horrible deed— a feeling
mingled with detestation of the great crime and
heartfelt sympathy with President Garfield
and his family. While they deeply deplore
that any one could conceive and execute so
dastardly a deed, they yet know that it was
the act of a single man, and not the conspiracy
of others, and they earnestly condemn the ran-
cor which could even suggest that Guiteau's
crime was the premediated act of any faction
in the country. They recognize that assassi-
nation as a means of removing a public servent
can never become a growth on free American
soil. The assassin may shock the sentiment of
Americans, but cannot cause them to doubt
the safety of the Republic, nor can he materi-
ally disturb the equipoise of its institutions.
Chicago now rejoices that the condition of the
President gives hopes of his recovery. I re-
commend that you pass resolutions of sym-
pathy with him and his family

Carter H. Harrison, Mayor.

The following is the opinion:

Citt Law Department, i
Chicago, June 23, 1881. j
A. H. Burley, Esq., Chairman Committee on
Finance :

Dear Sir : I have considered, as requested
by your Committee, the petition of B. Adama
& Co., and others, for refunding to the peti-
tioners such portion of the city taxes of 1877

July t>,J

|1881

as were extended against an increased ralua-
tion of 20 per cent., alleged to have been
illegally made by the County Hoard, etc. l
Dotloe that the "names bo the petition appear
co beall in one handwriting, and thepetition

states that the persons, whose names are signed
by some third party whose authority is not ap
parent, authorize Reynolds & Pomeroy, agents
ami attorneys, to oollecl t He alleged illegal tax.

Suits were brought by Messrs. Reynolds A
Pomerov in the names of ten of the persons or
firms, whose names are signed to the petition
(which names your Committee will find under-
scored in blue pencil in the petition) under
rather singular circumstances. One of the firm
of Reynolds & Pomeroy (which I do not know)
a long time since came" to me and proposed to
me to stipulate as to the facts in one case as a
test, and that a hearing should be had in the
case in the Superior Court. To this 1 agreed,
and entered into a stipulation as to the facts.
The case was argued before Judge Gary, who
found for the citv and against the plaintiff in
the suit. The attorney thereupon dismissed
his suit before judgment was entered, and pro-
posed to me to make another stipulation, which
I declined to do, as I considered it a waste of
time to stipulate with one who manifestly had
no confidence in his own judgment.

The attorney then threatened to bring a
number of suits before a justice, outside the
city limits, against the collector, Mr. McCrea;
this, as it appeared to me, for the purpose of
embarrassing the collector and the city. His
threat had no effect, and he accordingly brought
such suits before a Justice of the Peace in the
Town of Jefferson. Mr. Lewis, of the firm of
Stiles & Lewis, who acted as attorney for
McCrea and myself, concluded, as the more
convenient and less expensive way, to let judg-
ment go for the plaintiffs before the justice,
and appeal the cases, which we did, and they
now stand for trial on appeal. The question
for the Committee I suppose is, whether the
persons taxed could cover the alleged illegal
taxes by suit.

I understand that most of those paying did so
without compulsion, a-nd- voluntary, in which
case there could be no recovery. The question
as to the circumstances under which payment
was made is material, and will arise in every
case, and can, in my opinion, be better deter-
mined in court than by your Committee, even
though the Committee should devote its time
to making the investigation.

Respectfully,

Francis Adams,
Corporation Counsel.

REPORTS OF CITY OFFICERS.

His Honor the Mayor submitted his report of
pardons from the House of Correction during
the week ending July 9, which was

Placed on file.

The Commissioner of Public Works presented
a communication concerning an ordinance before
the Council, relating to the purchase of sup-
plies, etc., which was
Laid, over and published.
The following "is the communication:
To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Chi-
cago in Council assembled :
Gentlemen— An ordinance is now pending
before your honorable body as follows:
" That every officer oi employe of the muni-

" cipal government, before making any pur.
" chase or contracting for any expenditure in
" behalf of such government, shall make a requi-
sition in writing upon the City Comptroller
" for such purchase or expenditure, except in
" cases of contracts made by virtue of exist-
" ing ordinances and which shall have been ap-
" proved according to law.

" That the said Comptroller shall keep a
" requisition book in which all requisitions
" shall be copied, giving the items required for
" that office or department, and the name of the
«« officer or employe making such requisition."

This ordinance, if passed, will cause unnec-
essary delays in my department in many in-
stances where speedy repairs are needed, it
will also have a demoralizing effect upon the
discipline of the department; any employe
without consulting me, can make a requisition
on the Comptroller for the purchase of any-
thing for the use of the city, and if granted by
him I will be called upon to approve the vouch-
er.whetherin my judgment tne expense should
have been incurred or not. If this ordinance
should be passed it will annul several impor-
tant sections of the revised ordinances, which
embody the settled rule of this department for
years in this regard, and under which the in-
terest of the city is, I think, sufficiently
guarded. Said sections are as follows:

" 559 Said Commissioner shall control and
" direct all expenditures to be made by the De-
" partment of Public Works; shall sign and
" draw his requisition upon the Comptroller for
" the payment of all bills and accounts there-
" for which in his judgment are correct, and
" which may be duly certified by the superin-
" tendent under whose supervision the expend-
" iture was incurred."

44 566 No contract shall be made for any work
" or supplies relating to any of the matters
" within the cognizance of the Department of
" Public Works, unless such work or supplies

July 11,]

[188L

" shall have been authorized by the City Coun-
" cil, except that whenever any such work or
" supplies shall be necessary, and the total cost
" thereof shall not, in anyone case, exceed five
" hundred dollars, the Commissioner of Public
" Works may cause the same to be done or fur-
" nished, under the supervision of theappropri-
" ate officer of the department; but no such ex-
" penditure shall be made without the written
° order of the Commissioner of Public Works,
" through his secretary, which order when
" when filled, shall be returned and filed as a
" voucher in said department, with the bill
" upon which payment was made*"

This places the responsibility where it be-
longs, to wit: on the head of the department,
who> is presumed to know better what is needed
than any one outside of the department. While
I would trust the present Comptroller to any
amount, I think the precedent would be a dan.
gerous one to make the purchaser and auditor
of the bills of the city the same person. The
check intended by the office of auditor in such
case would be wholly destroyed. I feel it my
duty to present these objections to the pro-
posed ordinance to your honorable body, earn-
estly believing that its passage would work
injuriously to the city in mv department.
Respectfully,

Chas. S. Waller,
Commissioner of Public Works.

dolph and Twelfth streets, about 100 feet east
of the present lake shore breakwater, I hereby
comply with and respectfully report :

That the Illinois Central Railroad Company
is driving the piles in question upon the east
line of its right of way, as per ordinance of 1852
(M. C Sec. 2,585), which gives it a right of way
from Twelfth street to Randolph street of 300
feet; the west line of such right of way being
100 feet from the east line of Michigan avenue.
I am informed by the City Engineer, in his
letter attached hereto, that the piles at present
being driven are on the east line of said right
of way, as suggested above. In 1856 (M. C.
Sees. 2,596 and 2,597) the Common Council
granted the Illinois Central Railroad Company
additional right of way, beginning at a point in
the old crib or breakwater, then existing on
a line midwav between Washington and Madi-
son streets, extended and embraced within the
space designated on the map accompanying
this communication as " Boundary line for
right of way as per ordinance of 1856," the
point in the old crib above being 700 feet south
of the north line of Randolph street. The
Illinois Central Railroad Company has a right
of way 300 feet wide, pursuant to the ordi-
nances. According to the City Engineer's re-
port and the map hereto attached, the said
railroad company is within the space limited
by the ordinances so far as the pile-driving is
concerned on east line of right of way. It
appears by the map that railroads have en-
croached upon city property west of the west
line of said right of way north of Monroe street,
which, however, is not the subject of inquiry
by your order. Respectfully submitted,
Julius s. Ghinnell,

City Attorney.
J. S. Grinnell, City Attorney :

In response to your request for certain lmfor-
mation in regard to pile-driving by the Illinois
Central Railroad Company, I have to report
said railroad company is driving a line of piles
from near the north line of Park row east for
about 300 feet; piles are almost five feet apart;
the balance of the distance north of Monroe
street are 300 feet apart, and all are parallel to
west line of Michigan avenue, and are distant
therefrom not to exceed 700 feet east.

City Engineer.

The Commissioner of Public Works submit-
ted a communication in relation to dredging,
which was ordered

Published and referred to the Committee on
Harbor and Bridges.

The following is the communication:

Department of Public Works, )
Chicago, July 18, 1881. S
To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Chi-
cago in City Council assembled:

Gentlemen— On June 18, 1881, bids were
opened in this department for dredging to be
done in the Chicago river and its branches.
Three bids were received as follows:

Chicago Dock and Dredging Company, aver-
age of bid 3463 cents per cubic yard, scow
measurement.

O. B. Green, average of bid, 34.75 cents per
cubic yard, scow measurement.

Harry Fox & Co., average of bid, 34.95 cents
per cubic yard, scow measurement.

By sounding measurement, which is the most
accurate and fair, in my judgment, the bids
from some parties were from 28 to 35 per cent,
higher than the above. As responsible parties
from New York offered last year to do this
dredging of the entire river and its branches at
an average price of 24 cents per cubic yard,
scow measurement, it seems apparent that the
city can make better terms than those offered
in the bids which were opened in June last,
the average of which are entered above.

The stage of water in the river last year av-
eraged about \U feet above the plane of city
datum, and consequently there was no general

July 18,|

[ 1881.

demand or need for dredging. The lowest stage
of water during the year was in the month of
March. The water has kept up thus far during
the present year to a higher and better stage
than last year, being now over two feet above
city datum. The probability, therefore, is that
we can get through the present season with but
little dredging. I have decided to reject all the
bids opened June 18, 1881; and in view of the
whole situation as stated herein, I respectfully
submit the accompanying order to your honor-
able body, with the opinion that, if passed, it
will certainly be of benefit to the city.
Respectfully,

Chas. S. Waller,
Commissioner of Public Works.
Ordered, That the Commissioner of Public
Works be and he is hereby authorized
to contract for such dredging as may be needed
in the Chicago river and its branches during
the present year, 1881, without advertising for
same: Provided, That, in any contract or con-
tracts that he may make under the permission
given bv this order, the average price per cubic
yard to be paid by the city for said work shall be
less than the lowest bid obtained and opened
June 18, 1881: And provided also, That the
contract or contracts made under this per-
mission shall not exceed in all 150,000 cubic
yards.

The following is the report:
To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of

Chicago in City Council assembled:

Your Committee on Health and County rela-
tions to whom was referred a communication
from C. R. Matson, Coroner of Cook County, in
reference to the necessity of a new morgue,
also one from George A. Elton in reference to
the same subject, having had the same under
advisement, beg leave to report and recommend
the passage of the enclosed order.

Swatne Wickersham,
J. J. Altpeter,
O. M. Brady,
James Peevet.

Ordered by the City Council of the City of
Chicago, That the Superintendent be and he is
hereby instructed to have sent to the morgue
of George A. Elton, until further orders, all ':
unknown and unclaimed dead bodies found :
within the city limits, provided that no charge
is made by the said George A. Elton against the
City for any services he may render.

City Law Department, i
Chicago, July 25, 188L j
Aid. S. Wickersham, Chairman Committee on •■<
Health and County Relations :

Sir— Your enclosure covering communication
of C. R. Matson, County Coroner, and George
A. Elton, in reference to the city morgue, is re-
ceived. Both the city and the county have the
right under the general powers to establish a
morgue, and it is undoubtedly the duty of both '.
to see that the unknown or unfortunate dead h
are properly cared for. A building properly
arranged for such a purpose is indispensable,
and it should he suitable in its appointments, :
guarded and superintended. From the com- I
munications received, it appears that the con-
dition of the present so-called morgue is simply
horrible; neglect has made it a disgrace to
humanity. Where the fault lies for this condi-
tion of things, whether at the door of the city
or of the county, it is needless to enquire;
the fact remains that immediate action upon
the subject is imperatively necessary. The
cost of such a place is not great, and it should
be under the control of one power rather than
of two. It is probably because of a divided
responsibility that the morgue has fallen into :
its present condition. The City Council, under
its general powers with regard to the preserva-
tion of health and its police powers, can estab-
lish a city morgue and provide for its protection
and superintendence.

Mr. Elton, in his communication, proposes to
take charge of the dead in his private morgue,
free of charge to the city. While it is doubtful

July 26,1

11881.

whether the oitv should make any arrangement
of that kind of a permanent character, yet,

pendine the erection of a new morgue ami in
the absence of any other suitable place, I
should think it advisable that the police of the
city be directed to send such unknown dead
that may be found to Mr. Elton's place. There
thev can at least be eared for m a decent man-
ner "until claimed bv friends or properly buried.
A resolution of the Council directing the police
in the manner indicated would be all the action
necessary for the present.

Verv respectfully,

John N. Crawford,
Assistant Corporation Counsel.

Mayor's office,

Chicago, Sept. 5, 1881. j
To the City Council of the City of Chicago: .

I herebv return to your honorable body with-
out my approval a resolution, passed August
8, 1881, directing the Commissioner of Public
Works to withdraw the assessment for the im-
provement of Astor street, from Division street
to Schiller street, and to discontinue all pro-
ceedings until the further order of the Council.
I am informed by the Law Department that it
is not within its power to comply with the res-
olution. m . _ ,_

Application for judgment for so much ol the
assessment as remained unpaid was made to the

County Court at the last July term, and judg-
ment was rendered against the lands delinquent
in respect of the assessment, and process is
now in the hands of the County Treasurer for
the sale of the lands. The Law Department
cannot, while the judgment remains in force,
arrest the sale by the County Treasurer, and
the July term of the court having passed, the
court has no power over the judgment. If,
however, the Council desires to abandon the
improvement it can be done by repealing the
ordinance ordering it and ordering that the as-
sessment collected be refunded. A draft of an
ordinance for that purpose is herewith submit-
ted in case the Council shall determine to aban-
don the improvement.

The following facts are communicated tor the
information of the Council : The total amount
assessed against private property was |JgJ74.
of which their has been collected about $3,804.09,
leaving uncollected $1,737.65. This balance will
probably be collected by the County Treasurer
at the present sale unless the improvement be
abandoned. The ordinance ordering the im-
wovement was confirmed by the County Court
March 16, 1881, without objections by the prop-
erty owners. Respectfully,

Carter H. Harrison, Mayor.

Aid. Everett moved to reconsider the vote "by

The following are the resolutions as adopted :

Resolved, That as members of the City Coun-
cil of the City of Chicago, we desire to place
upon the records of this Council ;:a tribute of
respect to the memory of Major John H. Lanni-
gan. Major Lannigan was born in 1844, at De-
troit, Michigan, came to Chicago in 1861, enlisted
as Second Lieutenant in the Twenty-third Illi-
nois Infantry, Col. Mulligan commanding, and
served with bravery, fidelity, and distinction in
that regiment till it was mustered out at the
close of the war, being in the meantime pro-
moted to the position of First Lieutenant. He
was at the battle of Winchester when Col.
Mulligan was killed.

He returned to Chicago after the war and in
1874 entered the employ of the city, being con-
nected with the Treasurer's Office from that
time to the day of his death.

For the past two years he has held the posi-
tion of Assistant Inspector General of the
State Militia, and was a member of the Second
Regiment, holding the position of Major.

His sudden death has caused a shock to all
who knew him. He was a gentleman kind,
courteous, and ever friendly to all, and pos-
sessed in a high degree all that the word gen-
tleman implies. His connection with the City
Treasurer's office for over seven years has
made him familiar to every person connected
with this Council and with the City Officers,
and to every one having business witfc the
Treasury. His courteous and obliging manners
have endeared him to all; his integrity and
fidelity in the city's employ calls for respect

and honor, and his pleasant and lovable nature
has made him the kind friend.

On Wednesday, the 7th inst., he left his desk,
slightly ill. On Saturday, the 10th inst., sent
word that he would be on duty the Monday
following. Saturday he became worse, and on
Sunday died in the bloom and vigor of man-
hood, deeply mourned by mother and sisters,
in whose midst he passed away, regretted and
his loss deplored by his friends, but with the
honor and respect of all for his manly, upright
and blameless life.

Resolved, That these resolutions be published
in the regular proceedings of this Council, and
that the Clerk cause a copy of these resolu-
tions to be sent to the family of the deceased.

His Honor, the Mayor, submitted a communi-
cation appointing Dennis O'Brien as Bailiff of
the South Division Police Court, and asking the
concurrence of the Council therein.

REPORTS OF CITY OFFICERS.

His Honor the Mayor submitted his report of
pardons .from the House of Correction during
the week ending September 17, which was

Placed on file.

ALSO,

The following communication :

To the City Council of the City of Chicago :

In the Department of Public Works is
placed the supervision, construction, repara-
tion, and maintenance of the public works of
this great city. The Commissioner superin-
tends the building, repairing and cleaning the
streets. He has charge of the sub-department
of engineering, under which are placed the
viaducts, bridges, docks, harbor, and the laying
and maintaining the network of water pipes,
pumping works and tunnels supplying water
to our people. He has charge of the sewers
already built and the proper location of those
yet to be laid. He has charge of the new city
hall building, and lets all contracts and pre-
pares the articles of contract after such letting.
In addition to these manifold duties, he has to
superintend all the clerical duties appertain-
ing and belonging thereto. To perform all of
these duties he has to be vigilant, industrious
and honest, and should not be burdened with
any duties incompatible therewith. In former
times this department was under the manage,
ment of three commissioners, one from each
division of the city. That system developed
sectional rivalry, and, consequent thereupon,
log-rolling and extravagance. At present it is
wisely placed under one responsible head.
That head has enough to do, and has no time to
spare for other duties than those legitimately
under him.

The sub- water department, organized for the
collection of water rates, is purely fiscal and

L1881.

clerical, and its supervision is calculated to
distract the mind.ot' the Commissioner of Pub
lie Works from the proper duties he has to per-
form. As Mayor, I have given large attention
to this department, and have long since thought
it not properly belonging to the Department
of Public Works, hut should he under the
Finance Department of the city— that is, under
the Comptroller. Already so much as goes to
the collector is under the supervision of
the Comptroller. It should all be there. The
department is already admirably managed and
gives evidence of great reforms. I believe
that the change will lead to still further re-
forms, and will relieve an excellent and over-
burdened officer. Having studied the matter
closely, and believing the change would be
good for the taxpayers, I have caused the Law
Department to prepare amendments to the
ordinances properly to bring about such
change, aud submit the same for your consid-
eration, ana earnestly recommend that you do
pass them.

There is another matter I desire to call your
attention to. The bridge nuisance has grown
to be almost intolerable. Sooner or later the
riyer, at least from the junction of the two
branches up to some point near the mouth of
the canal, must be closed and a new channel
but thence to the lake. The West Side is now
half of the city, and it will not long submit to
the delays and'vexations caused by the open-
ing and closing of the bridges. The change I
indicate is one of great magnitude and cannot
be brought about for several years. But in the
meantime something must be done. Tunnels
do not seem to satisfy the people. Immediate
relief can only be brought about by numerous
bridges, and those bridges to be as wide as the
streets leading to them, so as to admit the pass-
age of teams as along the streets. In London
and Paris the bridges are all now being built
of equal width with the streets. But there
such bridges do not require to be drawn, as
here. Ours must be draw-bridges. So few lo-
calities require such structures that inventive
genius is not called info activity to devise new
systems and plans sufficient to enable double
rows of teams to cross and yet not narrow the
channel of the river when vessels are passing.
I have thought much of this, and have come to
the conclusion we can get the aid of inven-
tive genius only by offering a generous reward
for the best practical plan for a draw- bridge
suitable to our necessities. I recommend,
therefore, that you empower the Mayor to offer
a reward of $5,000 for such plan, the same not
to be paid unless something valuable be sub-
mitted, and to pay such reward out of moneys
not otherwise appropriated.

Carter H. Harrison,

Mayor.

Aid. Everett moved that the ordinances be
referred to the Committee on Finance.

Aid. Burley moved that that part of the

The City Comptroller submitted a communi-
cation concerning city (lnanc.es, which was

Published and placed on tile.

The following is the communication:

Chicago, Sept. 20, 1881.
To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Chi-
cago in Council assembled :

Gentlemen: I wish to direct your atten-
tion to considerations affecting the interest of
the Municipal Government:

The total amount of revenue from taxation
for the year 1882 will be upon present property
valuation of $117,133,643, which at 2 per cent is
$2,342,672, less 5 per cent for non-collection of
taxes, $117,133; leaving revenue from this
source of $2,225,539. To which may be added
cash from miscellaneous st urces, saloon li-
censes, rents, etc., $300,000, making a total rev-
enue for 1882 of $2,525,539.

The law passed at the recent session of our
State Legislature, authorizing a revaluation of
real estate, will not permit an increase of rev-
enue in this direction for the coming fiscal year,
for the reason that appropriations are deter-
mined in March, and the revaluation in May
following; it will, therefore, be necessary, if it
is thought advisable to expend an amount in
1882 in excess of the foregoing sum, to estab-
lish a system of licenses. The revaluation of
property to take place in May next will doubt-
less provide for the wants of the City Govern-
ment for 1883, consequently licenses other than
those now in force may be limited to a single
year. Very respectfully,

Theodore T. Gurney,

City Comptroller.

SPECIAL MEETING.

SEPTEMBEB SO, 1881.

OFFICIAL RECORD.

Present— His Honor the Mayor, and Alder-
men Wickersham, Dixon, Sanders, Appleton,
Shorey, Phelps, Watkins, Wetherell, Burke,
Sheridan, Oullerton, Altpeter, Hildreth, Rior-
dan, Purcell, Smyth, Peevey, Schroeder, Nel-

Absent— Aldermen Lawler and Meyer (15th

Ward) .

His Honor the Mayor presented the following
message to the Council:

To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of
Chicago in City Council assembled:
Gentlemen— Last night while you were dis-
cussing an important matter, the fire gong
startled you hy its measured toll. It said,
14 The President is dead ! " You at once silent-
ly adjourned. I have called you together to
make the formal announcement that the Chief
Magistrate of the United States, after a heroic
struggle of eighty days with grim death, has
at last given up the fight— that his spirit, at
10.35 last night, winged its flight to the pres-
ence of its God, leaving behind it a name which

will live as long as history continues to he writ-
ten.

This is a painful announcement, whether you
think of James A. Garfield as a man or as the
Executive head of this mighty Republic. As
a man he had his faults, perhaps, for who that
is human has not? but his virtues were far
greater than have been bestowed on even a
minority :of those whom the world has called
great. He was a kind and generous friend, a
loving and gentle husband, and a devoted fath-
er. He was an industrious public servant, and
endeavored to square all of his public acts by
an upright and peculiarly sensitive conscience.
He was an earnest patriot, and showed his love
for his country on the battlefield as well as in
the legislative halls. He was ambitious, but
his ambition was of that exalted character
which pined for an eternal fame. He has been
cut off in a manner which will cause his name
to live forever. But he has been robbed of his
most darling wish, which was that he would
fasten his name to some act which would for-
ever endear him to his fellow-men. As Presi-
dent of this mighty land, had he been spared,
this most earnest desire might have been grati-
fied. It is a bitter thing for such a man to be
cut off thus on the threshold of his great op-
portunity.

Sept. 20, J

132

[1881.

Regarding him as a man, we can profoundly
mourn his untimely death; but when we regard
him as the Chief Magistrate of the United
States, we have far more poignant pain. He
was murdered, not because he had awakened
personal animosity, not because he had embit-
tered a human life, but because he was the
Chief Magistrate. The assassin aimed at his
heart, not because that heart was a man's, but
because it beat within a President's breast. It
is a terrible thought that the man whom a na-
tion exalts to be its Chief Executive, its chief
servant, should be a target for a fanatic's bul-
let. Thank God, but one feeling animates the
hearts of all men and women in this broad land
—execration and horror of the deed and of the
wretch who perpetrated it. I hope this exe-
cration will grow and grow into a hatred of the
vile system in our body politic which maddened
infamous Guiteau's braiu. The assassin of
the President was a mad fanatic, but his last act
was the result of political pyaemia in our gov-
ernmental fabric — greed of office. It has been
charged that the black axiom, " To the victor
belongs the spoils," was promulgated by a
great man. Every friend of the defender of
New Orleans should resent the vile aspersion.
To that axiom we owe the rapid diffusion of the
poison which belongs to the spoils system.
Office is for the good of the people, and not
spoils for the officeholder. That party should
be entitled to the longest life in this country
which most boldly and honestly demands that
this upas-tree of republican institutions be
eternally and utterly eradicated. The death of
James A. Garfield brings this hideous monster
plainly before the eyes of the world. He be-
lieved in reform in the civil service. His coun-
trymen can best show their appreciation of his
worth by following what he would advise
could his spirit speak to them to-day. Let it
be written in letters of blood, "Guiteau's bul-
let was sped by the spoils system. In the
name of Garfield, death to the vile system."

Gentlemen, I recommend that you adopt ap
propriate resolutions, that the same be spread
upon the records, and that you appoint a com-
mittee of the Council to attend the funeral of
our lamented President, and, in the name of
Chicago, to drop a tear upon his grave.

I shall issue a proclamation calling upon the
people of this great city to desist from all labor
and amusements during the hoursof the funer-
al, and thus to show their respect for the dead
President of the United States and their horror
of the black deed which so untimely took him
off. Carter H. Harrison, Mayor.

Aid. Wickersham moved that the Chair ap.
point a committee of five to prepare and pre-
sent to the Council such resolutions as they
deem appropriate.

Agreed to.

The Chair appointed as such committee Aid.

Wickersham, Phelps, Everett, Young and
Meier.

Aid. Barrett moved that Aid. Burley be added
to the committee.

Agreed to.

The committee retired and subsequently pre-
sented a preamble and resolutions for the con-
sideration of the Council.

Aid. Burley— The President of the United
States is dead! Again we are called upon to
mourn the death of the Chief Magistrate by the
hand of an assassin. Again we are obliged to
see our system of republican government
tested, and let us hope that all our people will
now, as in days gone, be united in the determi.
nation that our government shall stand. What-
ever may be the individual differences of opin-
ion, let us be united in the one idea that in
union and in the supremacy of law lies our
safety. The President is dead! Long live the
President! The President is dead, but we
still have a President and a government.
While we mourn the loss of our late honored
Chief Magistrate, let us reaffirm our loyalty to
our government and to those upon whom its
cares and duties devolve. Let us pray that
God in His Divine Providence will direct
our rulers and guide them, andj, preserve
our country from internal dissension and
external wars. There is little to be said
upon an occasion like this. I cannot avoid
expressing my admiration for the man we
have lost, and expressing the hope that his
successor may be all we could hope or wish
him to be. I will suggest with regard to the
resolutions that it would be proper to add one
that the Mayor and a committee of Aldermen
(of five) to be appointed by him, to attend the
funeral ceremonies wherever they are held as
representatives of the City of Chicago.

Aid. Dixon moved as an amendment that the
committee consist of the Mayor and nine Al-
dermen.

Aid. Burley accepted the amendment of Aid.
Dixon and the amendatory resolution was
agreed to by the Council.

The resolutions as amended were then unan-
imously adopted by a rising vote.

The following are the preamble and resolu-
tions as adopted:

Whereas, We have learned with profound
sorrow and regret of the death of the eminent
and respected Chief Magistrate of the nation,
James A. Garfield, who, during his short occu-
pancy of the highest position in the gift of a
great people and as the ruler of 50,000,000, had
won their entire confidence, their esteem, and
their admiration by his manly character, his
broad views, and his statesmanlike qualities;
who gave promise of giving our country an
administration under which unexampled pros-
perity would be a ruling characteristic alike in
all sections, industries of all kinds fostered and

iept 20,]

encouraged as they never have been encour-
aged bo tore in the history Of America, and our
relation's as a corporate body politic established
on a closer, firmer, and more intimate and amia-
Ole basis than ever before with the other nations
of the world; ami who had evinced in all the
rancors of political strife between party fac-
tions a deep sense of a feeling which should
always animate the head of a great people— a
feeling to which the martyred Lincoln gave
memorable utterances in the epigrammatic sen-
tence: "With malice toward none, with charity
for all"; and

Whkueas, Our grief has been made the
more keen and intense by the fact that his
death has been by the hand of an unprin-
cipled and dastardly assassin; that, in his
demise, the lawlessness, utter abandonment,
and recklessness of a man should be made man-
ifest in a country of pure and liberal principles,
where "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happi-
ness" is guaranteed to all in the Constitution
of our land, and that the wish of all for his
continued administration should thus be ruth-
lessly set aside by one iniquitous individual;
and

Whereas, Our sense of sorrow is also most
deeply touched at a time when it seemed that,
after so long and anxious waiting for his recov-
ery, he might still be saved to the nation, and

that the long and heroic struggle he made for
life gave hopes for a return of health; there-
fore be it

Resolved, That we extend to the family of our
late Chief Magistrate our heartfelt and tender
sympathy in their irreparable loss.

To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Chi-
cago, m Common Council assembled.
Your Committee on Finance, to whom was
referred the petition of John D. Maclean, for
compensation for damages caused by his falling
upon a sidewalk, having had the same under
advisement, beg leave to report, that it does
not appear that the sidewalk was defective,
but that said Maclean put his foot under a step
instead of on top of same, and your Committee
therefore recommend that the petition be
placed on file.

F A. H. BURLEY,

Chairman.

City Law Department, >
Chicago, August 30, 1881. J
To Finance Committee: _

Gentlemen: The petition of John D.Maclean
for compensation for an injury he claims to have
received on a sidewalk on State street, near
Thirteenth street.referred to the department for
opinion as to liability of the city, I herewith re-
turn my opinion, based upon the accompanying
letters and all the facts I have been able to
learn about the sidewalk and the accident,
after careful inquiry, is to the effect that Mr.
Maclean probably can recover a judgment, and,
if possible, the matter should be settled to save
expense. There is something about this case I
hardly comprehend. Mr. Maclean is a reputa-
ble, good man, who lives near Thirty-second
street, on Vernon avenue. On or about August
3, 1880, between one and two o'clock a.in., he
started from a lodge meeting down town to go
home, afoot and alone, up State street. When
near Thirteenth street, on the west side of
State street, in stepping from a lower to a
higher grade in the walk, he in some manner
slipped his foot under the step, there being no
riser, but an open space of about six inches (the
height of the step), and broke his leg above the
ankle. Two parties who happened there im-
mediately after the accident agree that he
acted dazed and stupid, but soon after appeared

Sept. 29,]

[1881.

clear-headed. I cannot understand how he
could have got his foot into this step. Maclean
says he was not that night, and never was,
under the inlluence of intoxicating liquors.
As I am inclined to believe him, I am embar-
rassed, because I don't see how the accident
could occur to any man in full possession of his
faculties. There is a question in this case
which may help the city: If this sidewalk, or
step, is properly constructed and reasonably
safe, the city is not liable, and Mr. Maclean's
accident is only chargeable to a misfortune. In
my opinion, the sidewalk and step are reason-
ably safe; in fact, thousands pass it every
day, and this is the only accident I have heard
of which would imply that the sidewalk
was absolutely safe. The question of safety of
the walk is one entirely for the jury, and with
my knowledge of the historical inclination of a
jury to help the plaintiff, I say in the beginning
of this communication that I believe he will
get a judgment, and the court above will say
that as the jury has passed upon the question
of safety, it will not disturb the verdict. Hence
if this matter can be settled, I believe the city
will be the gainer in the end.

Respectfully yours,

Julius S. Grinnell.
City Attorney.

The following is the communication:

City op Chicago, >

Department op Finance, Oct. 4, 1881. \

To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of CM-

caao in City Council assembled:

Gentlemen— Mr. Kgbert Jamieson has pre-
sented his claim tor balance of the $12,000 ap-
propriation of 1881, for revision of the City
Ordinances. This balance, $5,380.16, I have not
felt authorized to pay without referring the
matter for your consideration.

First— That I am not of the opinion that such
revision is of a character that justifies the
claim. I have had an examination made by
Prosecuting Attorney Charles S. Cameron,
Esq., which shows that inaccuracies are so
prominent in importance and numbers as to
render the revision of much less value than
was anticipated when the work was ordered.
It may be that Mr. Jamieson is not responsible
for errors not detected by the City Council,
but my impression has teen that you depended
upon him for reasonably perfect work, and for
which he was to be paid.

Second— Although the language of the appro-
priation referred to seems to indicate that the
sum of $12,000 was to be paid witheut regard to
cost of pi-inting or the personal services of Mr.
Jamieson, I feel that you should be consulted
rather than to assume an interpretation of the
ordinance that might not meet your views of
the subject. I learn that the cost of printing
2,000 volumes is about $1.33 per copy— $2,660.
This would leave Mr. Jamieson for his services
$9,340.

Respectfully submitted,

Theodore T. Gfrney,

City Comptroller:

City Law Department, ;
Chicago, October 1, 1881. \
Hon. T. T. Gurnet, Esq.,
City Comptroller:

Dear Sir— In reply to your note of the 27th
ult., requesting me to inform you of any "de-
fects, omissions, or other deficiencies in the
penal ordinances, as revised by Egbert Jamie-
son, which have come to my notice," I have the
honor to report:

First— That section "2071, respecting general
ordinances conflicting or inconsistent with re-
vised ordinances, contains no saving clause, as
did the revision of I?73(page 87, section 10), the
result of which is that all prosecutions on
repealed ordinances pending at the time the
new ordinance took effect, including appeal
cases, were thereby suspended and must fail.

Second— A frequent charge in Police Courts
is being drunk in public places. The ordinan-
ces of 1873 (page 77, section 8), provided for this
offense. The new ordinance does not. Section
5 of the charter of the Washingtonian Home
provides for receiving persons sentenced for
intemperance, drunkenness, or misdemeanor
caused thereby and for no other charge.

Third— The penalty for a violation of quite a
large number of the provisions of the new ordi-
nances is fine or imprisonment, or both. This
is, so far as it calls for imprisonment;, void, and
it is a question whether it does not vitiate the
fine as well.

Fourth— Section 630 authorizes the Commis-
sioner of Buildings to stop the construction or
alteration or repairs of any building which is
being done in a reckless or careless manner,
but provides no penalty either for the disobe-
dience of sueh order, or the construction of the
same.

Oct. 3, |

I1H81.

Fifth— Section 1102 authorizes the using ot the
space under the sidewalks by a permit from
the Commissioner of Buildings, Section 1928
provides that the permit shall be from the
Commissioner of Public Works.

Sixth— QuitQ a number of sections provide tor
a penalty, but no continuing penalty, the result
of which is, that a person might pay his line
willingly, if he could enjoy the benefit of his

Seventh— Section 110S and 1109 require a house-
mover to get a license from the Mayor; to exe-
cute a bond, to be approved by the Commis-
sioner of Buildings; and to get a permit from
the Commissioner of Public Works, a some-
what round-about proceeding.

Eighth— There are twosections, Nos. 1,613 and
l,€24, on the subject of disorderly conduct,
which should have been consolidated in order
to facilitate prosecution and avoid mistakes.

Ninth— The indices are very deficient and
incomplete.

Tenth— Section 1,236 provides that on com-
plaint to the Mavor of any dog which shall, by
barking, howling, biting, etc., disturb the quiet
of any person, the Mayor shall direct a police
officer to give notice thereof to the person keep-
ing such dog, who, if he shall not kill or remove
such dog within one clay, shall be fined $10 for
every dog. This imposes a petty duty upon
the Mavor which should be performed by some
other officer. The ordinances of 1873, sections
13 and 14, page 16, provide that upon affidavit
before a police justice that a dog has bitten any-
one, the justice shall issue an order to the owner
to kill the animal within forty-eight hours, and
in case of failure to, etc., fining him $25, and $2
a day thereafter.

Eleventh— There is no heading at the top of
each page of the ordinance, showing the chap-
ter, article, etc.

Twelfth— The Health Department complains
that section 688 of the new ordinances, which
is the same as section 4, of chapter 17, of the
old, does not contain the amended ordinance
passed February 21, 1877; also, that section 22,
of chapter 51, ordinance of 1873, has been sus-
pended by section 1,587 of new ordinances,
which only prohibits throwing rubbish in the
streets, by which horses or other quadrupeds
shall or may be injured or endangered. Also,
that the fruit ordinance of February 18, 1878, is
omitted in the new. Also, that section 7, of
chapter 9, page 180, ordinances 1873, and section
5, ordinance June 21, 1877, in regard to the burial
of the dead, and burial permits, are omitted
from the new ordinance, and that hence there
is nothing in the new ordinance prohibiting the
burial of the dead without first obtaining a
permit from the Health Department.

Thirteenth— -By the terms of sections 1,853 and
1,861 of the new ordinance, common or ill gov-
erned houses and disorderly houses are limited
to places where persons are permitted to play
at any game of chance for money or other valua-
ble thing; or to saloons or groceries in which
minors are permitted to drink intoxicating
drinks. It will not be hard to imagine many
disorderly houses and places outside of these
limits. These are defects and omissions which
require action on the part of the city council
to rectify, and should be remedied at once. 1
have not had the time requisite to a full and
thorough investigation of the subject, but have
devoted such time as I could spare from my
other duties to the most, if not all, of the im-
portant omissions and defects of the penal ordi-
nances as contained in the revision of Mr.
Egbert Jamieson.

The following is the report:

Department of Public Works, )
Chicago, Oct. 17, 1881. J
To the Hon. Mayor and the City Council of the

%S$£!gSP&n the 18th day of July 1881
your honorable body passed an ordinance for the
improvement of West Adams street. Said or-
dinance contains minute specifications as to the
mode and manner of doing said work. On tne
8th day of August, 1881, your honorable body
passed an order d. reeling me to advertise and
let said work without delay. Concerning this
lastorder there was a legal question involved
and 1 was delayed for a time waiting upon the
Law Department for an opinion in the premises-
I then advertised for proposals to do said work
and on the 12th inst. received four .bids there
for Messrs. John* M. C. Duffy being the low
est*. As these gentlemen are responsible con
tractors, and have done considerable work tor
the city, I proposed, of course, to give them the
contract; but on the afternoon of the same
day I was served with a notice by Mr. Wm. Ji.
Shaw (who was one of the competing bidders)
notifying me that the kind of improvement
proposed for said street was a patent and that
he alone bad authority from the patentee to
make said improvement on. said street (saw
notice and letter accompanying are submitted
h erewitb, marked « A" and » B "). The speci-
fications set forth in the ordinance passed for

Oct. 17,]

160

[1881.

the improvement of said street requires "Trini-
dad Asphalt" to be used. Mr. Duffy, upon in-
quiry, finds there is a "corner "on this material,
and he is unable to get it. I submit a letter
from Messrs. Barrett, Arnold & Kimball to Mr.
Duffy, showing this fact (said letter marked
"C "). I also submit a letter from the Messrs.
Duffy, offering to improve the street in a differ-
ent and better manner (as they contend) for the
amount bid by them (said letter is herewith
filed and marked "D"). As your honorable
body could not have been aware of the situation,
or youwould not have ordered me to advertise
for bidders, and as the law requires me to award
to the lowest responsible bidder, and I am
estopped in this case by notice of patent and
of the "corner" on "Trinidad Asphalt," I feel
it my duty to refer all the facts to you, and to
ask for instructions in the premises.

Respectfully,

Ohas. S. Waller,

Commissioner of Public Works.

Washington, June 6th, 1881.
To the Hon. Commissioner of Public Works of

the City of Chicago.

I hereby certify that William E. Shaw, of the
city of Chicago, is the sole person authorized by
me to lay my patent pavement on West Adams
street between Halsted street and Hoyne
avenue, in tne city of Chicago, according to
the specifications for paving said mart of said
street as represented in the petition ot the
property owners of said street, dated April
28th, 1881, and as ordered by the City Council
of the city ©f Chicago, June 6th, 1881.

(Signed) D. W. Bailey,

Patentee and sole owner of the Bailey Stone
and Asphalt Pavement.

Chicago, Oct. 12th, 1881.
To the Hon. Commissioner of Public Works of

the City of Chicago.

Sir,— In answer to your proposals for im-
proving West Adams street, from Halsted
street to Hoyne avenue, I wish to state the
facts in relation to the matter so far as I am
concerned. The property owners of West
Adams street were desirous to have their
street paved with a pavement that had been a
great success in Eastern cities, and as I have
the sole agency for it for this city, they said if
I could lay it on their street at the price of the
assessment then made foranotherkindof pave-
ment for their street they would petition the
City Council to make the changes. They did
so, and the City Council ordered the change
made, and I am now ready to do the work as
ordered by the City Council at the cost as
estimated in the assessment for improving that
street, and will furnish good and satisfactory
bonds for the faithful performance of the work,
and that it shall be done to the entire satisfac-
tion of the Department of Public Works.
Respectfully yours,

Wm. E. Shaw.

P.S.— Enclosed please find a copy of my author-
ity to lay the pavement.

Chicago, October 14th, 1881.
Jno. Duffy, Esq.

Dear Sir,— We have telegraphed to the head-
quarters of the Asphalt people, and they de-
cline to sell any Asphalt except to McBean,
Ray & Nagle, and J. L. Fulton & Co. We do
not know of any way in which you could get
the Asphalt necessary to do the work on Adams
street. It is possible that next year the
Asphalt may get out from under their con-
trol, but that is too uncertain to count on.
Yours respectfully,

Barrick, Arnold & Kimball.

Commissioner of Public Works.

We the undersigned make you the following
proposition for the improvement of West Adams
street, from the west line of Halsted street to
the east line of Hoyne avenue :— For to grade
the street to the proper grade required, then to
roll with a (15) ton roller, then to put on (10)
inches of macadam instead of (6) inches, and
then rolled again with a (15) ton roller, and
then a concrete (2) inches in thickness made
of hydraulic cement and stone screenings
and then thoroughly rolled or tamped, and then
a composition of granite screenings and Barrett
and Arnold's paving composition thoroughly
mixed to be put on (2) inches in thickness, and
then rolled or tamped and then an inch of
granite screenings spread over the street for
top dressing at the price mentioned in the
former bid.

The following is the report :

COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE, }

Chicago, Oct. 10, 1881.
To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Chi-
cago in Council assembled :
Gentlemen— The accounts of the various
police court bailiffs have been examined as per
order of the Council. There are in the hands
of bailiffs for collection, executions to the fol-
lowing amounts, viz. :
Bailiff Whalen, West Division Police

Court $1,324.50

Bailiff Plynn, South Division Police

Court ... 6,943.50

Bailiff Hefter, Southwest Division

Police Court 1,589.00

Bailiff Hansborough, North Division

Police Court 2,879.00

The amounts in the hands of Bailiffs Whalen
and Hefter are not unusually large, considering
the amount of business done at their respective
courts. The greater part of this is embraced
in executions served against owners of unli-
censed dogs. These officers, Whalen and Hef-
ter, are now very regu lar in making th eir reports
as required by law. Of the amount in the hands
of Bailiff Flynn, most of it should be collect-
able, as the executions are principally against
prostitutes and like characters. This large sum
is greatly in excess of what it should be, many
of these executions having been in his hands
since January 1st, 1881. This bailiff has made
no report since last April, the law requiring
him, as well as others in his position, to make a
full report to the Comptroller once a month.

The accounts of Bailiff Hansborough are in
still worse shape. The amount of executions
in his hands, in proportion to the work done in
other courts being largely in excess of any of
the above mentioned bailiffs. No report has
been received from this bailiff since May last.
Respectfully,

Theodore T. Gurnet,

Comptroller.

Chairman of Committee on Judiciary:
Dear Sir— In your communication of tins
date vou ask me for an opinion as to the author-
itv of the City Council, under existing orduu
anees. to pass an ordinance granting to the
-Brush Electric Light Company jhejmj
lege of constructing a line, primes, of wire for
the transmission of 1 lectricity for light and
power, through the streets, etc., of the city.
The bill for an ordinance submitted to me is
so General in its terms that it is not clear
whether the intention is to construct the lines
of wire above or underground. It the Dill as
framed should pass, the wires, in rayopinion.
Sign t be constructed eith er above or below the
Surface of the ground. I have been informed,
however, by Mr. Cross, who seems to be inter-
ested in the company, that the company can
onlv construct its lines in the street by elevat-
ing'them above the surface of the ground.

The intention of the City Council in passing
Section 2,022 of the revised ordinances, clearly
was to prevent such construction after the
passage of the ordinance. The lines proposed
to be erected by the company are intended tor
the transmission of electricity, and are covered
by the words «« electric conductor used in the

8eThen'section does not, of course, limit the
power of the Council, and the Council may
grant the power asked ; notwithstanding such
grant may (as it certainly would) conflict with
the general ordinance.

You will allow me to suggest furtner, that
if the privilege asked be granted, the mam fea
lures of the manner of construction should be
prescribed by the ordinance granting the privi-
lege, and not left to the discretion of any city
officer or department.

In this view, before the law department can
frame a bill for an ordinance intelligently, it
will be necessary for the Council or your com-
mittee to determine what, if any, privileges
should be granted to the company, and the man-
ner in which the proposed lines should be con-
structed. Respectfully,

FRANCIS ADAMS,

Corporation Counsel.

Be it ordained by the City Council of the City

Sec 1. That permission be and is hereby
given to the Brush Electric Light Company, of
Chicago, to construct and maintain m the public
streets, avenues, alleys and tunnels of the city
of Chicago, a line or lines of wire to be used ex-
clusively for the transmission of electricity for
furnishing light and power.

Sec. 2. Said lines of wire shall be supported
toy poles composed of wood and iron, the poles
to be not less than twenty nor more than thirty
feet high, and to be placed not less than one
hundred feet apart. Provided that this shall
not apply to lines which may "be constructed in
or through the tunnels of said city, but such
lines shall be constructed in such manner as the
Department of Public Works may prescribe and
to the satisfaction of said department.

Sec. 3. The said lines may be constructed

across I lie Btreetsand alleys of .said city by ex-
tending the same over the tops of buildings, the
owners of said buildings consenting tin veto.

may be hereafter prescribed by ordinance.

Sec 5. The privileges hereby granted shall
be subject to all general ordinances which may
hereatter be passed in relation to the erection,
maintenance, continuance, or discontinuance
ot poles or lines of wire, or electric conductors
in the streets, alleys and tunnels of said city.

SEC 6 This ordinance shall not take eflect
until the said company shall execute a bond to
the said city of Chicago in the penal sum ot

dollars, with sureties satisfactory to

the Mayor of the city, conditional to indemnify,

Agreed to.

The following is the report:
To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of thu

f-ago in Council assembled.

Your Committee on Judiciary, to whom was
referred the order directing the City Comp-
troller to pay to Egbert Jamieson the balance
due to him tor revising and printing the city
ordinances, having had the same f under ^advise-
ment, beg leave to report that they have
carefully considered the subject referred to
them, and beg leave to submit the /£ to wing:

In the communication from the City Comp-
troller to the City Council, a report is submit-
-ed from C. S. 'Cameron, alleging that certain
inaccuracies, and specifying them, exist in the
new revision of the ordinances, and the Comp-
troller, for such reason, has declined to adjust
and settle such claim until further directed by
the City Council. The questions then pre-
sented for your Committee to def^rmlnedwearnei
First —Whether the Comptroller had any
legal right or authority to refuse payment.

leconl-Whether the alleged defects in the
ordinances do, in fact, exist.

Accordingly your Committee solicited and
obtained from Corporation Counsel Francis
Adams a written opinion upon the first ques-
tion, and likewise a written opinion upon the
second question from Hon. W. C. Goudy ; which
opinions are hereto attached and made a part 01

tl TVufe first question, Mr. Adams answers that
it is the imperative duty of the Comptroller
to pay over to Mr. Jamieson the unpaid bal-
ance of the appropriation.

[1881.

To the second question, Mr. Goudy answers
that "if there are no other detects than those
pointed out as such by Mr. Cameron, the
reviser has performed his work with unusual
accurac.y." These alleged defects are separate
ly considered and discussed by Mr. Goudy.

When the revision was submitted by Mr.
Jamieson to the City Council, it was by that
body referred to a special committee, consist-
ing of the Judiciary Committee, the Mayor and
the Corporation Counsel. This committee ex-
amined the work, section by section, occupying
in such examination nearly two months; made
many changes, and reported the same back to
the Council. The Council thereupon, as a
Committee of the Whole, took up the work,
and likewise considered it section by section,
during a period of about three months; made
many changes, alterations and amendments,
and then passed the ordinance and ordered it
published.

Your Committee would therefore recommend
the passage of the order referred to them and
hereto attached.

Respectfully submitted,

Whereas, The required number of copies of
the new revision of the city ordinances, to-wit.,
two thousand copies, have been delivered to
and received by the City Comptroller, in ac-
cordance with the ordinance directing the
publication thereof; therefore be it

Ordered, That the City Comptroller be and
he is hereby authorized and directed to pay to
Egbert Jamieson whatever sum of money is
now due and owing to him of the sum of money
heretofore appropriated by this Council for the
revision, printing and publication of said ordi-
nances.

City Law Department, i
Chicago, Oct. 10, 1881. \
Wm. S. Young, Jr., Esq.,

Chairman Judiciary Committee:

Bear Sir — In your communication of Octo-
ber 8, 1881, you ask me in substance whether
the City Comptroller has any discretion as to
the payment to Egbert Jamieson, Esq., of the
balance remaining of the appropriation made
by the ordinance of March 28, 1 81, for the
revision of the ordinances, assuming that two
thousand copies of the work have been deliv-
ered to the Comptroller.

The Council, in making the appropriation in
question, assumed the responsibility of deter-
mining in advance the value of the work,
including printing, binding, the reviser's ser-
vices, and everything connected with the mat-
ter. No discretion whatever was left to the
Comptroller, and no place for the exercise of
any judgment, except perhaps to deUrmine
whether the two thousand copies of the work
were bound in as good and substantial a man-
ner as the revision of 1873.

Up< n the delivery to the City Comptroller,
and the acceptance by him of the two thous-
and copies, the ordinance is imperative that the
Comptroller shall pay over to Mr. Jamieson the
the unpaid balance of the appropriation.

Any money paid to Mr. Jamieson for his ser-
vices as reviser, out of the appropriation of
1880, or otherwise, is of course chargeable
against him in determining the balance due
him. Respect fully,

Francis Adams,

Corporation Counsel.

October nth, 1881.
Hon. Wm. S. Young,

Chairman Judiciary Committee:
Str— I have received your communication of
8th inst., with reference to the revision of the
city ordinances, and enclosing a letter of Mr.

Charles S. Cameron to the Comotroller, indi-
cating inaccuracies in the work.

Laws and ordinances cannot be revised with
absolute precision. The difficulty of bringing
together various provisions and keeping the
whole in harmony, is so great that a perfect re-
vision has probably never been made. But the
most serious disturbance of the consistency
and harmony of the reviser's work is always
made by amendments in the legislative body
after it leaves his hands.

If there are no defects other than those
pointed out as such by Mr. Cameron, the reviser
has performed his work with unusual accuracy.

First— Complaint is made that there is no
provision to continue in force repealed ordi-
nances until pending suits for their violation
are disposed of. I find the reviser, in the draft
submitted by him in section 1737, provided that
"No suit proceeding right, fine or penalty,
instituted, created, given, secured or accrued
under any ordinance previous to its repeal,
shall in anywise be affected, released or dis-
charged, but may be prosecuted, enjoyed and
recovered, as fully as if such ordinance had
continued in force, unless it shall be therein
otherwise expressly provided;" and this was
stricken out by the Council Section 2071, re-
ferred to as a repeal, is in fact no repeal. If
that section wras omitted, the effect would be
the same. Only prior ordinances, inconsistent
or repugnant to the provisions of the revision,
are repealed. Such is the legal effect, if there
had been no such declamation. If a suit was
pending on an ordinance which was inconsistent
or repugnant, the suit would fall even if the
Council had declared it should not, because
there is no power by the charter to continue in
force an ordinance for that special purpose.

Seeond — Complaint is made that there is no
section in the revision prescribing a penalty for
being drunk. It is not a crime or misdemeanor
to be drunk, either in public or private places.
It is beyond legislative power to make it one.
If one disturbs the peace, or conducts himself
so as to annoy others, he may be punished,
drunk or sober. Section lb24 of the revision de-
fines this offense and imposes a fine. The pro-
vision in Tuley's Laws and Ordinances, p. 77,
sec 8, does not say drunkeness shall be an
offense, unless it produces annoyance to some
person. The same result, and more, is secured
in the new section 1624.

Third— It is asserted that so far as an ordi-
nance provides for imprisonment it is void, and
it is a question whether such a provision does
not vitiate the fine, where there is a provision
for either or both. If the Legislature has
authorized the City Council to declare an in-
fraction of an ordinance shall be punished by
imprisonment, then all provisions of that kind
in the revised ordinances are valid. It is a dis.
puted question as to whether or not such power
has been delegated. But if an ordinance pro-
vides that punishment may be inflicted by fine
or imprisonment, or both, and the offender can-
not lawfully be imprisoned, the ordinance will
be treated precisely as if there was no im-
prisonment mentioned. On this point there is
not the least doubt.

Fourth— Complaint is made of the building
provisions, because power is given to the Com-
missioner to stop the construction or alteration
of buildings, yet omits to fix a penalty for
going on when the work is ordered stopped. If
the officer stops the work, and can use the
police force to enforce his orders, that would
seem to be a more effectual protection than the
infliction of a fine, as was the case by the
former ordinance.

Fifth— Complaint is made that there are two
provisions for permit to use the space under the
sidewalk, repugnant to each other— one that
the Commissioner of Buildings and the other
that the Commissioner of Public Works shall

Oct. 17,]

169

IHSl.

issue the permit. The Commissioner of Public
Works is charged with the control of the
JtJeets, Lnoludfng sidewalks. while the Com-
missionex of Buildings has the author > to

superintend the manner in which buildings,
including sidewalks, shall be constructed.
Section 1928 requires a permit to use the space
under the sidewalk from the officer who com
trols the street, which shall specify the
material and manner of construction. Having
obtained this permit, the details of the com
structionare left to the officer who overlooks
the construction of buildings, and he issues a
permit which is to specify such details. There

lSSixih-AUention is called to the fact that
there is no continuing: penalty for a violation
after the first fine. No reference is made to
anv such instances, but it is understood to refei
to" the building: ordinance. That ordinance
contains a penaltv for a hrst violation, and,
instead of a continuing penalty, confers upon
the officer the power to stop the work when not
in conformity to law. The present ordinance
fixes the responsibility upon one officer, relying
upon the power of that officer to stop the work
wlien not in conformity to law. The power
thus conferred is ample and sufficient, and it
exercised effectually, prevents violation of the

°T Seventh— Complaint is made that a vexatious
proceeding is required to obtain a license to re-
move a building. Section 1108 requires an
annual license to be procured by a person
engaged in the business of house-moving. The
license is to be issued by the Mayor, as other
licenses, and the bond is to be approved by an
appropriate officer, the Commissioner of Build-
ings But one who obtains such annual license
is not allowed to move any house he pleases, by
any route he selects, to such place as he desires.
In order to regulate these matters, the house-
mover must in every instance obtain from the
Commissioner of Public Works a permit, stating
specifically all the conditions, prescribing the
route to be taken, and limiting the time tor re.
moval. These seem not only to be reasonable,,
but necessary provisions for the protection of
the public and preservation of the streets.

Eianth—l am not able to see good reason why
sections 1613 and 1624 should have been consoli-
dated, or how prosecutions under either are
difficult. The acts described are different.

j\ in£?i— Objection is made that the reception
of complaints by the Mayor of noisy dogs is a
pettv duty. The Mayor is the executive officer
of the city, and is not supposed to perform
personally every duty. On the contrary, he is
provided with a large body of men to assist

^enth— Criticism is made of provisions in re-
sard to the Health Department. It is said the
fruit ordinance of February 18, 1878, is omitted.
That ordinance was void, according to a decision
by Judge McAllister in the Criminal Court. I
see no substantial difference as to section 1587
and section 22, chapter 51, of the old ordinances,
touching rubbish in the streets.

It is evidently not the duty of a reviser to
take the place of the City Council. He was
directed to prepare, and submit to the Council
for their adoption or rejection, an ordinance in
revision of the ordinances of the city. When
the revision was adopted, except as amended,
the work was approved. .

So far as I have been able to examine the
order and manner of the work, it is convenient
and an improvement on any former revision.
L Your obedient servant,

W. C. GO DDT.

ALSO,

The following veto message:
To the City Council of the City of Chicago:

I hereby return to you, without my approval,
ordinance passed October 17, 1881, entitled
" Ordinance concerning Pittsburg, Fort Wayne
& Chicago Railroad," for the following reasons:

This ordinance I recommended over two years
ago, believing it to be greatly for the benefit of
the city. But at that time the P., Ft. W. & O.
R. R. Co. was about to re-ballast their tracks,
and agreed with me, that if the ordinance passed
it would at once comply with its provisions.
But two years have elapsed. The railway com-
pany may not now be willing to act at once.
The ordinance fixes no time within which it is

to be carried into effect, and has a repealing
clause. I am unwilling that the repealing
clause should go into effect at once, and leave
the railroad comoany an indefinite time to
complete. I have caused the Law Department
to prepare an additional section to the ordinance,
leaving it in all respects the same as the one
vou passed, except that a new section is added
l_No 7— which fixes the time within whieh the
railroad shall perform its part, believed to be
so ben eficial to the city. Such time I have fixed
at one year from the passage of the ordinance.
I have endeavored to see the ofiicers of the
road, so as to make an agreement with me as to
time, before I would sign the ordinance. But
no one with authority is in Chicago. I, there-
fore, as a precaution of prudence, return the
ordinance, together with the amended ordi-
nance, and recommend that you pass the latter.
Carter H. Harrison,

Mayor.

Aid. Dixon moved that the vote by which the
ordinance was passed be reconsidered.

Public Library, }
Chicago, Nov. 7, 1881. j
To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Chi-
cago in Council assembled :
In pursuance of the instructions and author-
ity given the undersigned, the Committee on
"Future Library Building," by the Board of
Directors of the Chicago Public Library, we
herewith present a resolution, the prompt pas-
sage of which by your honorable body we re-
spectfully request.

We also herewith present a copy of the pro-
ceedings of the Library Board, giving us the
authority for our present action.

Respectfully submitted,

JAME8 Lane Allen,
Bernard oallaghan,
Geo. B. Armstrong,
Committee on Future Library Building.
Resolved, That the Mayor be and he is hereby
authorized and requested to take such steps as
shall be deemed expedient and proper in aiding
the Chicago Public Library Board to procure
the passage of an Act of Congress at its next
session, relinquishing and granting to the City
of Chicago all the rights, title and interest of
the United States in and to the streets and
public grounds of that part of Port " Dearborn
Addition to Chicago," known as "Dearborn
Park," and bounded as follows : by Randolph
street on the north, by Michigan avenue on the
east, by Dearborn place on the west, and by
Washington street on the south, for the pur-
pose of erecting or causing to be erected thereon
suitable building or buildings for the use and
benefit of the Chicago Free Public Library,
and that such use of said ground is most
heartily approved of by this the Common
Council of the City of Chicago, and the aid of
Congress respectfully invoked.

Chicago, October 29, 1881.

The Committee on Future Library Building,
to whom was referred "the matter of a site for
a commodious fire-proof library building," beg
leave to present the following report:

In determining the site of a building for the
Public Library in a city like our own, the two
conditions first presented are accessibility and
cost. Our city has been so rapidly rebuilt that
not many accessible lots now remain vacant,
and such as may remain unoccupied by build-
ings are of very great value. It seems, how-
ever, that our forefathers planned and platted
better than they knew. There is one spot left,
not only vacant, but accessible and attainable,
without any cost whatever to the people. For
the information of those who have not investi-
gated the status of Dearborn Park, a succinct
statement of facts will not be amiss in this
report. From the year 1804 the tract of land
known as "Fort Dearborn Addition to Chicago"
was occupied by the United States as an Indian
agency and military post. In the year 1822 the
Government had a plat made of the ground,
which then contained 57 52-100 acres, and in
1824, by direction of the President, through the
Secretary of War, this tract was reserved from
sale for military purposes. In 1839 the Presi
dent, through the Secretary of War, appointed
Mr. Matthew Birchard, then the Solicitor of
the General Land Office, to subdivide this tract
of land into lots, etc., and record the plat so
made. Mr. Birchard performed the duties im-
posed upon him, and the result is the subdi-
vision called the ** Fort Dearborn Addition to
Chicago."

Upon this plat, and between Randolph street
on the north and Madison street on the south,
was delineated a piece of ground, irregular in
shape, lying east of blocks 12 and. 15, and be-
tween them and the lake, across which were
written the words, « Public ground, forever to
remain vacant of buildings." Michigan avenue
has since been extended in a direct line through
the piece of ground described and a street forty
feet wide has been laid out along the east side
of block 12, called "Dearborn place." Ran-
dolph and Washington streets have also been
extended to the eastward, the latter only to
Michigan avenue, and the former to the tracks
of the Illinois Central Railroad Company, with
a viaduct lately completed over and across the
tracks. The space bounded by Randolph street
on the north, Washington street on the south
Michigan avenue on the east, and Dearborn
place on the west, has been inclosed by the city
as a public square, and is now known as "Dear-
born Park." In 1852 this strio of land marked
"public ground" was only twenty-two and a
half feet wide at Randolph street, while at
Madison street the margin of the lake formed
the eastern line of Michigan avenue. Since
then this strip of land has been enlarged by
piling and filling in, until now it has a uniform
width of 310 feet. As we desire to acquire the
possession of only that called Dearborn Park,
we will confine our attention to that portion.
As a park it is valueless, because it is both too
restricted in its dimensions and too far removed
from the residence portion of our city. Today
it is the resort only of amateur ball-players,
and serves only as a "cut-off" to persons wish-
ing to cross it. A few dead trees and a few
straggling blades of grass, together with sun-
dry tin cans and general refuse, ornament it.
It is but stating the simple faet, then, to say
that it subserves no public good, and as now
used is valuless.

That it can be legally devoted to our pro-
jected use has been often affirmed by able
jurists, and also that it can be procured is
evidenced by the action of Congress at its last
session in almost passing a bill to devote a por-
tion of this public ground to the public (?) use
of a great passenger depot. There could be
but one obstacle, which is the objection thereto
of adjacent property-owners, who may have
acquired certain rights therein in the nature of
an easement. We are fully assured that this
obstacle will be readily removed by the unan-
imous consent of the gentlemen owning such
adjacent property.

As, therefore, the legal title to this tract rests
in the United States, your Committee would
earnestly recommend that Congress be asked
to give the title to the City of Chicago for the
purpose desired. Being taught by experience
that sometimes a benificence is thwarted in its
use by the technicalities of its grant, vour
Committee has drafted a bill for presentation
to Congress, which they believe will attain the
ends desired. For the early and successful ac-
complishment of our purpose, your Committee
would recommend:

1. The adoption of the bill herewith
sen ted by this board.

2. That your Committee be instructed to
wait upon our United States Senators and the
members of Congress representing our city
districts and present them with copies of this
bill, and request their and each of their aid in
securing its early passage by Congress, in
which your committee have warm assurances of
both their sympathy and aid.

3. That your committee be instructed to take
proper steps to procure the written assent of
the gentlemen owning property adjacent to
Dearborn Park to our proposed action.

4. That your committee be instructed to wait
upon the honorable Mayor and City Council,
and procure the passage of a resolution indors-
ing our proposed action.

Your committee would further add that if
there should be reasonable objection to changing
the use of this property it could be possibly
obviated by a rededioatlon of it.

Your committee would further report that
thev have investigated the matter ot other
sites and would briefly report as iollows:
"" 1 The Old Oity Hall location presents many
oointa te recommend it for our uses, such as a
reasonable central location, being surrounded
bystreets and alleys, and being the property
of thecityand being within the power of is
appropriation to our purpose; yet we think we
would hardly be justified in asking the use ot
such a valuable piece of properly, and thus
depriving the city of large revenues which
could be derived from it, when all the argu-
ments in favor of its use more forcibly pertain
to Dearborn Park, which can be obtained with-
out such sacrifices.

2 The use of the upper floor of the new City
Hall has been considered, and your committee
are unanimously of the opinion that its inaccessi-
bilityto any, and especially lady patrons ot
the Library, alone renders it unfit for use.

3 The use of the Chamber of Commerce
Building cannot be reasonably considered for

rTltBwill°ho? be vacated for at least three

7 aar8Tour Committee is reliably informed that
there has not been any disposition evinced by
any officer of the Board of Trade to give to our
use a hall and rooms from which by renting
thev would acquire large sums of money, but,
on the contrary, that no reasonable hope could
be indulged in as to such a disposition ever
existing in the future.

While vour committee do not attempt to
herein piesent all the reasons leading them to
recommend Dearborn Park as the site ot our
future Library building nor the objection to
the procurement of some of the other sites,
thev believe that sufficient has been stated in
this" necessarily brief report to convince every-
one that no other locality than Dearborn Park
should at present be considered.

Your committee finally recommend prompt
and vigorous action in this behalt by this

ALSO,

The following communication:

Chicago, November 12, 1881.
To the City Council of the City of Chicago:

T hereby return to your honorable bony, witn-
out my approval, a certain order passed Novem-
ber 7th, 1881, in reference to the publication in
the Illinois Staats Zeitung and the Chicago
Herald of the city ordinances, &c, for the
following reasons, viz: . .

The Corporation Counsel, in an opinion here-
with submitted as a part of this communica-
tion, and which has been laid before the Judi-
ciary Committee, has stated that in his opinion
the publication of city ordinances, notices, &c,
in the German language, or any other language
than the English, is unauthorized by the city

charter, either in express words or by necessary

implication, and consequently that so much of
Ordinance of August 31, 1876, as purports , to
order publications in the German language is
unauthorized and void. .,.,,. nrf]pr

This is the ordinance referred to in the order
under consideration. If publications in the
German language are unauthorized by the
charter, then the appropriation and e x penditure
of money for such publications would be dearly
illegal, because appropriations can only ue
legally made for corporate purposes. lhe
Supreme Court has decided that an -appropria-
tion for the entertainment ot official visitors
was illegal, because in the present chaiter
there is no authority to make such appropria-
tion, and this, too, notwithstanding the tact
that the former special charter expressiy
authorized such an appropriation. .

The order assumes that its passage is neces-
sary to prevent any question arising as to trie
legal publication of city ordinances and notices..
I am informed by the Corporation Counsel that
this assumption is erroneous; that no such,
question can arise as assumed by the order >
that the charter expressly requires the publi-
cation of ordinances and certain other matters,
and that they having been published in the
English language, as contemplated by the
statute, no question arising between thepuD-
lisher and the city can affect the legality ot
the publication. .

It is true that publications in the Illinois
Staats Zeitung during the year 1880, and part of
the year 1881, have been paid for by the city.
This however, was done under the impression
that publications in the German language, as
directed by the ordinance of 1876, were author-
ized by the charter; but as soon as it was as-
certained that they were unauthorized, such
publications were stopped.
Your honorable body has, in the ordei in

Nov. 14,]

question, designated this unauthorized expend-
iture of money, under a misapprehension of the
law, as a "tacit understanding," and the order
purports to ratify and continue this so-called
"tacit understanding." I think it hardly
necessary to say that if the Council cannot
legally authorize publications in the German
language, it cannot ratify or continue a "tacit
understanding" to cause such publications to
be made. , „ . ,

I regret that my obligations under my official
oath compel me to refuse my approval to this
order. 1 was at first led to suppose, from past
custom, that the city was authorized to publish
in the German language; but when publica-
tions in ihe Staats Zeitung were discontinued
by citv officers, and the same were given to the
Frcie Presse, to my surprise I learned that the
Staats Zeitung claimed the right to continue to
publish, and to hold the city liable for the cost
of publication, and then, in order to ascertain if
such claim was valid, I had the matter investi-
gated, and was surprised to discover under ex-
isting laws the city has no right to publish in
any German paper. .

If it be deemed necessary or desirable by the
German population that city ordinances and
notices shall be published in the German lan-
guage, then application for legislation author
fzing such publication must be made to the
General Assembly. „„,«,

Carter H. Harrtson,
Mayor.

Hon. Carter H. Harrison, Mayor, etc.

Dear Sir: I have received from you the
following communication:

"I understand that the Staats Zeitung Com-
pany claim that they have a right to publish
"city matters under an old ordinance never re-
pealed. Please examine and let me know, also
" as to whether we should put in German paper
'« special assessment advertisements."

I have read the communication from the
Staats Zeitung Co. to the City Council on the
subject referred to.

The statement in that communication— that
the City Council, by the adoption of the report
of a minority of a committee, awarded " the
contract for printing city claims" to the Staats
Zeitung is correct. This was done April 4,
1879 (Council Proceedings, 18,8-9, p. 55a).

No contract in writing was made with the
Staats Zeitung Company, but after the award
by the council, such matters as were desired to
be printed in the German language were sent to
the Staats Zeitung for publication, and were
published in that paper, and the publications
were paid for at the rate mentioned in the com-
pany's bid, viz.: 24 cents per square inch. This
has continued nearly to the present time.

No contract was made by the city with the
Staats Zeitung Company, or any other German
paper, for the publication of matters required
to be published for the fiscal year 1880 or 1881,
nor has any such contract been awarded to any
German paper for either of these years.

The Staats Zeitung Company claims, that the
contract having been awarded to it for the year
1879, and not having been awarded to any other
company or newspaper for the years 1880 and
1881, and it having published matter required to
be published in the German language during
the fiscal year 1881, and down to the present
time, and having been paid therefor at the rate
mentioned in its bid accepted by the city in
1879 there is an implied contract on the part of
the city to continue to publish in the Staats
Zeitung matters required by any law or ordi-
nance to be published, until a contract shall be
let after the second Monday of December, 1881,
as prescribed by the revised ordinance. The
question is whether this position is correct.

I think it unnecessary, in considering this
question, to discuss Section 1684, Article 4, of
the Municipal Code ; because, as to that section,

I concur in the view taken in the communica-
tion of the Staats Zeitung Co., viz.: that what
is there prescribed to be done, is to be done in
the month of December next succeeding the
date when the ordinance took effect, which will
be December, 1881.

The company bases its claim solely on the
ordinance of August 31, 1876, as amende! by the
ordinance of January 20, 1879 (Council Proceed-
ings 1876, p. 181; 10. 1878-9, p. 357), upon the
action of the council awarding the contract in
1879, and the other circumstances above stated.
The reasoning of the communication is, in my
opinion, so far correct, that if the claim cannot
be maintained on the basis above stated, it must
fail.

Section 1 of the ordinance of August 31, 1876,
provides that "The city printing and publica-
tion of those matters and things required by
"law or any city ordinance to be printed or
"published, shall be done in the English and
" German languages."

Section 2, as amended by ordinance of Jan-
uary 20, 1979: "All publications in newspapers
" now, or which may hereafter required to be
"done by any law or ordinance, or by direction
"of the City Council, or any officer of the city
"authorized to have such work done, shall be,
"under contract, let to the lowest bidder. Pro-
vided, however, that in determining who is
"the lowest bidder, the circulation of the bid-
der's newspaper within the limits of the city
"of Chicago may be taken into consideration."
Section 3 relates to job printing.
Section 4— "The City Comptroller shall at
"once advertise and let such contracts for the
"unexpired portion of the present fiscal year,
"and annually thereafter he shall, at thebegin-
" ning of the fiscal year, advertise and let such
"contracts for such fiscal year, and shall sub-
"mit the bids received by him and his action
"thereon to the City Council for its approval."
The last section contemplates an annual ad-
vertisement and letting of the contracts for
printing; that it shall be let only for the current
fiscal year, and that it shall be subject to the
approval of the Council.

Thus, by the very terms of the ordinance, the
contract could not be let for a longer period
than the current fiscal year.

But such a contract could not be let for two
or three years for another reason. Appropria-
tions are made during the first quarter of the
fiscal year, and for the fiscal year, and the
charter expressly prohibits the making of any
contract, or the incurring of any expense by the
city, unless an appropriation shall have been
previously made concerning such expense.
(kun. Code, p. 32, Sec 91.) A contract might
possibly be made involving large expense, and
which from its nature could not be performed
within a year, provided a previous appropriation
were made for the necessary outlay for the cur-
rent year; but a contract capable of completion
within the current year (as for printing) cannot,
in my opinion, be made to extend beyond the

y6ThiB was the view taken by Judge Drummond
in the case of Garrison v. The City of Chicago,
and The Peoples' Gas Light and Coke Company,
which involved the question of the validity of
a contract between the c;tyand the gas com-
pany to furnish the city with gas f r ten years.

Elliott Anthony, Esq., then corporation coun-
sel, supported the proposition that such a con-
tract was invalid, by a large mass of authorities.

It is clear that the ordinance of k>76 intends a
contract in writing, and it is, to say the least, an
exceedingly loose manner of transacting public
business to let such matters rest in merely
verbal or implied contracts. But waiving the
fact that there was no contract in writing, and
admitting that there was a sufficient contract
between the city and the Staats Zeitung Com-
pany, it was only a contract for the then fiscal
year, viz.: the year 1879; and under the charter

Under 1 e facts as stated, there is not, m my

^u"th£ question is presented by the tacts
viz. there having been no contract mad. wit*
anv German newspaper for the year 1881 is
there any authority to make publication of city
matters in anv German newspaper ? I

There are certain things required to be pub-
lished by the statute, (or charter) as for instance,
imposing any fine, penalty, imprisonment or
forfeiture o? making any appropnatioi ,, and
special assessment notices. (Mun. Cope, pp.
♦26 and 45, Sees. 65 and 142,) . ■•

There mav be other matters required to be
published by the statute, but these are suf-
ficient to illustrate the argument.

Now matters required by the statute to be
publ Ihed must be published in the English .1»£
-uage, whether there has been any c.ontiact JTor
their publication in accordance with the ordi-
nance of 1876 or not. The statute is imperative

This view is fortified by the fact , that the
General Assembly, by acts amendatorv of the
city charter, approved February 13 1863 and
March 9, 1867, respectively, provided for the
publication in a German newspaper of ordi-
Eancesand other proceedings and .matters re-
quired to be published. (Laws and Ord.,1873,

^SsfegfsSfon'would have been wholly un
necessary if the mere power to publish ordi
Sauces Sd other matters, included the power
to publish them in the German language with
out special and express authority so to do. But
the provisions of the amendatory acts of 1863
and 1867, as to publications in the English Ian-
gl uge became inoperative snpon the adoption by
the city in April, 1875, of the act of lb72, the

prMSr!nGrCiSl,rthe present City Attorney, ex-
pressed this opinion in a communication to the

Council, dated February 16, 1880.

A statute authorizing publications m one
newspaper and in the Eng ish langauge > only,
sin my opinion, clearly inconsistent with a

statute authorizing publications in two newi
papers, one English and the other German.

Richard S. Tuthill, Esq., Who was City Attor-
ney in 1876, gave »n opinion to the Council
dated July Lo, 1^76, that the provisions reierred
to would become inoperative upon tne exorcise
bv the Council of the power conferred by sub-
section 94 of Section 62 of the act of 1872, viz.:

" To provide by ordinance that all the paper,
'•printing, stationery, blanks, fuel and all the
"supplies needed for the use ot the city, shall
« he furnished by contract let to the loAvest
«• bidder." , ,. „ .,,_

The Council in passing the ordinance ot Aug-
ust 31, 1876, acted upon Mr. Tuthill's opinion in
abolishing the corporation newspaper, which
existed only by virtue of the section above
cited iu the charter of 1863.

The Council, ever since the passage ot the
ordinance of August 31, 1876, have, in omitting to
designate a corporation newspaper, acted upon
the hypothesis that the sections referred to in
the former special charter are no longer in

l0It!ewill be seen that I go farther than Mr.
Tuthill in holding that the adopti n of the act
of 1872, ipso facto, and without any action on
the part of the Council rendered inoperative
the provisions in the acts of 1863 and 186, above

rei°ameoft0opmion, therefore, that publications
in the German or any other langauge than the
English are unauthorized by the statute, and
that it is not within the power of : the City
Council to authorize such publications at the
expense of the city. It is a familiar rule that
a municipal corporation can exercise only such
powers as are granted in express words, or by
necessary implication. t»„„«»,ti

As said by Mr. Justice Black, of Pennsyl-
vania, "a doubtful power does not exist, because
whatever is doubtful is decisively certain
against the corporation." .

It may be asked where is this power to stop
if it is to be exercised at the discretion ot the
Council? If the council can, without express
authority so to do, cause publications to be
made inyGerman, why not in Dutch French
Hebrew, Bohemian and Sanscrit? Why not in
all languages ? Respectfully, ^^

School for permission to connect with the city
water-main, submitted majority and minority
reports thereon. , ...

Aid. Barrett moved that they be laid over
and published.
The motion prevailed.
The following are the reports:
Tothe Mayor and Aid rmen of the City of CM-
. i i own ■ ass* m tied:
v majority of your Committee on 1 ire and
Water, to whom was referred petition of Direct-
ors of Maplewood School District, in the town
of Jefferson, for permission to carry water in
pipes outside the city limits, having had the
same under advisement, beg leave to report
that we recommend the prayer of the petitioner
to be granted, provided a pipe three-quarters of
an incn in diameter be used, and a meter be
placed inside the city limits; the city reoerving
the right to stop the supply at any time it may
be so disposed.

To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Chi-
cago in Council assembled:
^minority of your Committee on Fire and
Water, to whom was referred the petition of
Directors of Maplewood School District, m the
town of Jefferson, for permission to take water
from citv pipes, having had the same under ad-
visement, beg leave to report that, in the opinion
of the minority of your Committee on Fire and
Water, the permission to carry water from the
City Water Works is becoming a serious ques-
tion, and should not be granted in the future.
It is a fact that many localities inside the city
limits are daily suffering for water, which they
cannot have, o'winsj to stringent rules m regard
to laving mains; and in other localities, where
mains have been extended, the supply is in-
adequate, owing to toe great drain made upon
said mains; consequently the minority of your
Committee most, emphatically protests against
the robbing of resident taxpayers of water in
order to carrv it outside the limits to parties
who bear none of the burdens of our municipal
o-overnment. We have already opened the gates
to this abuse, and cannot close them too early
for the interest of our taxpayers, whom we re-
present. Each permit we grant strengthens the
argument of other applicants, and every thou-
sand gallons carried beyond the city limits re-
duces t he supply, which is every day becoming
more precious to bona fide residents and tax-
-oarers. Your attention is most respectfully
called to the fact that after these pipes cross
the line of the city, we have no control over
them, and any number of consumers may attach
to said pipe, to the detriment of property hold-
ers inside the said line of city boundary; conse-
quently your minority member of said Commit-
tee would most respectfully recommend the
prayer of the petition be notf ra£te^EBETT.

To the Mayor and Alderman of the City of

Chicago in City Council assembled :

Your Committee on Streets and Alleys, W. D.,
to whom was referred a remonstrance against
opening Union street, having had the same
under advisement beg leave to report that we
recommend that it be placed on file.
Respectfully submitted,

Frank Lawler,

Chairman.

To the Honorable the City Council of the City

of Chicago:

The undersigned, your petitioner, Henry
DuPont, of Wilmington, State of Delaware,
would respectfully represent unto your hon-
orable body that he is the legal owner of the
land which, by the terms of the ordinance pro-
posed for your adoption be occupied by the
extension of Union street, from Lumber street
to the south branch of the Chicago river, and
of a large number of feet adjacent thereto, and
that all of this property is now in the occupancy
of Messrs. J. H. Skeele & Co. as a lumber yard,

under a lease for two years, ending on the first
day of May, 1883.

He objects to the passage of said ordinance
on the following grounds, viz. :

First. Such extension would greatly injure
his said property by dividing it into separate
and unequal portions, destroying it as a lumber
yard and interfering with the provisions of said
lease and the rights and interest of Messrs.
Skeele & Co. No probable assessment of dam-
ages could compensate for such injuries to
himself and his said tenants.

Second. The ordinance proposes simply to
open this street to the river. It does not pro-
vide for a bridge. Under such conditions the
the opening of this fraction of a street could
not possibly benefit the public or any single
individual, "since it would stop at the river, in
the midst of a district occupied solely by lum-
ber dealers and could not benefit their business
or furnish any facilities to others.

Third. The erection of a bridge, which is
said by parties advocating this measure to be
in contemplation, would entail upon the city a
very heavy outlay, altogether out of proportion
to any benefit to be derived. The land now
proposed to be condemned is probably worth
from $7,000 to $8,000. That which would be
condemned on the opposite side of the river in
the case of a bridge would amount to a heavy
sum. The cost of the bridge structure and
approaches should be estimated from $30,000 to
$40,000 and the damage to the land bordering on
the bridge approaches would necessarily cost a
very large sum.

Fourth. This bridge would be within 450 feet
of Halsted street bridge, a distance less than
that between any other bridge in the city, save
that between Lake street and Randolph street
bridges, a 1 cation in the very heart of the city
where the enormous travel and transportation
demand such an unusual supply of facilities.

Fifth— By making the connection between
the two sides of the south branch no great
thoroughfare would be established, as Union
street, thus prolonged, would run into Sanger,
a small diagonal street terminating at Twenty-
sixth street.

Sixth Halsted street, with its bridge, is all
that is needed in this locality for many years
to come and is suflicient as a north and south
thoroughfare to accommodate well the present
travel and transportation in that part of the
city. When relief is needed, a bridge or bridges
west of Halsted street could be constructed,
with far greater propriety and benefit, at either
Morgan street, Fisk street, Centre avenue or
Loomis street, than at Union street, 450 feet
east of Halsted street.

Seventh— The position which has been as-
sumed in favor of this measure, to the effect
that although the improvement is not needed at
present, yet it is a favorable time for the city
to condemn the land, as it will be higher in
price hereafter, surely cannot be sustained on
any just principle. It places the city in the
position of a speculator in real estate to the
great injury of the rightful owner, by the mis-
application of the law which enables a corpor-
ate body to wrest from the individual citizen
his property against his will, an exertion of
power which ean only be justified when the
general interests and a public necessity at the
time demand it. And. besides, there is nothing
in this case which distinguishes this particular
locality from other localities similarly situated,
so that if the principle above stated be a just
one, the city must, in order to be fair and con-
sistent, forthwith proceed to condemn all the
lots which intervene between the ends of all
streets and the river.

Eighth— Thus the scheme, as limited in the
proposed ordinance, is not only Avorthless as a
public work, but partial and unjust, and un-
necessarily inflicts irreparable injury upon your
petitioner, and if it be made the preparatory

ALSO,

The following veto message:
To the City Council of the City of Chicago:

I herewith return to you without my approval
an ordinance passed November 28, 1881, entitled

"An ordinance authorizing the Mutual Union
Telegraph Company to erect poles," etc., for
reasons hereinafter named. Chicago is archi-
tecturally one of the most beautiful of cities.
Its streets are lined with business houses and
residences vieing in splendor with the palaces
of princes and nobles in other lands. Taste
and capital have been lavishly expended in the
erection of these edifices, and our people are
justlv proud of them. The stranger visiting
the city is amazed at this splendor, but has his
eve pained by the long rows of gaunt poles,
placed so close one to another that at a dis-
tance of one or two blocks the palatial facades
are almost hidden from view. These poles,
nearly as tall as the monarchs of the forest, are
Bot adorned by leafy beauty, but by crossbars
resembling hangmen's gibbets. Intelligent for-
eigners lately visiting us spoke in one breath of
the magnificence of* the city and in the next of
those poles so marring the magnificence. They
occupy one or both sides of nearly all of our
principal streets, and do not simply mar the
beauty of the vista, but are a standing menace
to the lives and fortunes of our people. A
lofty building is burning; a stream of water
poured into one of the upper windows would
check the fire-fiend. The stream cannot be
applied because a network of telegraph wires
prevents the erection of a ladder over which
the firemen might effect some good. The fire
gets headway, and millions of dollars of prop
erty go up in smoke. At an upper window a
man pleads for means of escape from the flame
which has cut off all hopes of other exit; a
fire-escape is hoisted, but is held ten or twenty
feet off from the window, and the man perishes,
a victim to these wires. This may not be a
picture of any fire which has occurred in the
past, but it may be the tale of one which may
occur to morrow, or in a week, or a month.
The people of Chicago have been keenly alive

Dec. 5,|

234

[1881.

to the8e dangers for several years. Last spring
this Council, responsive to the people's wishes,
determined that no more poles should be erect-
ed, and that the wires should go underground.
The people applauded your action, and
breathed more freelv because of your resolu-
tion. The Mutual Union Telegraph Company
asked of vou a license to enter the city on un-
derground wires. On the 10th of October, by
ordinance, you acceded to its request. The
Department of Public Works laid out a route
and prescribed conditions for laving the wire,
and submitted the same to the company.
Weeks passed, and no officer of the company
came to the department to accept the route.
About ten days since they came with objections
to certain conditions prescribed. The obnox
ions features were removed, and the president
of the company accepted the route and signed
the conditions. The work of laying a cable
was commenced, and already before the 28th
ultimo more than a mile was down. With all
of these facts known, you on last Monday went
back on all of your past resolutions and passed
an ordinance giving to this company the right
to "erect poles, and to string and maintain
wires and electric conductors along and across
the streets and alleys in the City of Chicago."
Not simply along and across such streets
and alleys as may be necessary to enter the
city, but along and across all streets and alleys,
not simply for the purpose of transmitting tele-
graphic messages to and from Chicago and
other cities, but from any and every quarter of
the city to any and every other quarter, not
only for telegraphic purposes, but for any and
every purpose to which wires and electric con-
ductors can be put; for telegraphic purposes,
or for telephonic purposes, or for electric light
purposes, or for electric-motive power, or for
each and all of these purposes; not merely to
string and maintain wires the size of a pencil
for transmitting telegraph messages, but also
for wires as large as a walking-cane over
which to carry electricity for making light and
for moving vast machines. Under this ordin-
ance wires can be carried to every house in the
city— wires so large, and carrying such vast
charges of electricity that a fireman, wet with
the water he has been using to save your or my
house, should touch one of them, instant death
would ensue. It is true the Commissioner of
Public Works is given the right to designate
the routes least inconvenient to the people. A
delusion and a snare, When that company
snail demand a route to such localities as it
may choose for telegraphic or telephonic pur-
poses, or for purposes of light, or in after years
for motive power, how much will the discretion
of the Commissioner be worth? He cannot
limit the routes, nor the stations, nor pre-
scribe the kind of wire or conductors, The
ordinance leaves that to a souless corporation,
which, in a few years, may become a terrible
monopoly, even though it be not absorbed into
that cormorant, the Western Union.

Gentlemen, those who got up this ordinance
were deeply cunning. If they wranted simply
to enter the city so as to compete with the
monster monoply, why did they not say so?
Why did they say, "along and across the
streets and alleys in the City of Chicago?" If
they wanted simply a telegraphic system,
why did they put in those ominous words
" electric conductors ?" This ordinance grants
a vast license under which a route may become
necessary along every street and to every
block, and for all electric purposes. Are you
ready to warm into life such a corporation?
Less than two years ago the crv was raised
in this hall that the Western Union was a
grinding monopoly, and for the purpose of
competition you gave an ordinance to the
American Union. How long was it before it
was swallowed body and breeches by the big

monster? How long will this company keep
out of the same capacious maw? Even if its
present corporation be honest, yet Gould and
others cannot be debarred purchasing its stock
upon the board. But is this company honest?
It starts out badly to impress its honesty upon
us. It asked for an underground ordinance,
but at once commenced to intrigue and cajole,
and use all those arguments so persuasive
when in the hands of a rich corporation to get
this present ordinance. It may be honest, but
it comss in such questionable shape that I am
constrained to believe that I see at least the
ghost of a great fraud in it— a ghost too easily
galvanized into monster life.

The company has its cables largely laid, but
they say "cables under ground are an experi-
ment." It is not true The cable this company
is laying is an experiment, ancf a cheap one.
But underground cables are no experiment.

They are working now in various parts of the
world, but are costly. For example, a line of
sixty-five-foot poles, all painted, with cross
bars complete, carrying fifty No. 9 iron wires,
40,000,000 ohms, cost about $3,500 per mile.
Kerite wires, fifty conductors, of about the
same insulation, 40,000,000 ohms, cost, exclusive
of digging and trenching, about $10,720 per mile.
Gutta-percha wire, fifty conductors, with insu-
lation of 40,000,000 ohms, exclusive of digging
and protection of cables, cost about $13,200 per
mile. These two are standard wires and
thoroughly tried, with a complete record.
Cheaper wires in cables are working across the
Hackensack meadows, and across the St. Louis
bridge, and underground cables are success-
fully running from the Western Union offices
in Broadway, New York, under the Hudson
river, in all about four miles. But these sys-
tems are costly. It is far more pleasant to a
company to water stock and make vast stock
dividends than to lay such cables. But as the
companies do not water stock for the purpose
of making dividends to the people of Chicago,
except to a chosen few, I think it better to
make the companies spend some extra money
and keep our streets in a safer condition. They
tell us that in London and Paris sewers are
used for underground wires, and that we have
no sewers fitted for the purpose. A tunnel not
near so costly as a larger sewer can be built by
the companies from the centre of Chicago to
the limits, and all wires strung therein. If
their cheap cables fail then make them build
the tunnel.

But the cry is raised that we ought to put
this new company on the same footing as the
Western Union. I do not see the necessity.
the same cry has been raised as to new railroad
lines. We cannot, for example, make the
Northwestern Railway company keep in repair
their viaducts nor build the approaches, But
we force these things upon all new lines, and
upon th e old ones wh en they ask for new routes.
It is also urged that we have no right to demand
that the telegraph companies be forced to lay
underground wires until the city shall set the
example by laying its wires also underground.
This argument should not be urged on
this floor. The city wires are used to protect
the lives and property of the people. They
necessarily run to various parts of the city
and cannot be placed below ground except at a
cost relatively greater than those of the com-
panies; for, while our wires run to a greater
extent; single, the others run in groups and can
therefore be put under ground at a less cost to
each wire. And morever, the city cannot raise
the funds under existing laws to lay its wires
at any cost. Another fact should be remember-
ed; that citv wires running singly or in pairs
do not cause the danger which the great trunk
lines of the companies bring about. The Wes-
tern Union may have its grip upon our throat;
that is no reason why we should bare

nur windpipe to a new corporation, llus ordi-
nance savs this company shall take down da
wires when so ordered by present or future or-
dinance. But the same persuasive eloquence,
which induced vou last Monday to un. to your
BOOd work of la's; spring may, ami most, proba-
bly will, be brought to bear upon future Coun-
cils and cause them to repeal all ordinances
bearing upon the subject, if you are so easily
persuaded, and so subject to corporate argu-
ments, what right have you to expect ot suc-
ceedin^Counctls less malleable oppositions? Be
firm yourselves, and then demand of your suc-
cessors like firmness.

It is said that a large number of business men
have petitioned to have the Mutual Union al-
lowed to come in on poles. But we have no evi-
dence that tfcey understood the effect of this
ordinance, and' besides, while a few hundred
have signed such petitions, there are nearly
four-score thousands who have not so peti-
tioned, and I have no doubt nearly all of them
could be had for the asking to sign a remon-
strance. My experience teaches me that such
petitions are not worth the paper upon which
thev are written. Men sign almost any such
petition presented, and I do not think I exagg-
erate when I say I have known a hundred hrst-
class men to sign petitions and then tell me to
pay no attention to them— that they could not
well refuse their signatures. Signatures of men
feeling the weight of no official responsibilities
are very cheap. There is a shrewd suspicion
that this ordinance is a purely speculative
scheme, out of which a few men not belonging
to the Mutual Union corporation expect to make
handsome stock profits. Can you afford to be-
come a party to such a scheme?

The third section of this ordinance directs this
company to take down its wires whenever ordi-
nances now passed or to be passed shall so di-
rect. About that time a skilled body will be
seen in this chamber urging an extention of
time or a repeal of all unfriendly legislation.
Hold the Mutual Union to its original ordinance
and it will be the allv of the people. But pass
this ordinance, and the Mutual Union will be
found ranged against the people. It is a little
singular that last Mondav Western Union peo-
ple were present in the lobby, and their counte-
nances exhibited anything but dejection when
the ayes and noes were called. They felt they
had one more ally. .

Gentlemen, unite your enemies aud tali; di-
vide them and stand.

I earnestly hope you will reconsider the vote
by which vou passed this ordinance, and hold
the Mutual Union to an underground line. I
feel certain that some of you who voted for the
ordinance had no conception of the vastness ot
the franchise being granted, and will now look
upon the whole matter from a new standpoint.
The people expect of you faithfulness and firm-
ness. I believe the people will not be disap-
pointed. Carter H. Harrison, Mayor.

a report in relation to the condition of the
streets of the citv, etc., which was ordered

Published, and the lists of streets referred
to the Committees on Streets and Alleys of
their respective divisions.

The following is the report:

Department Public Works, )

Chicago, Dec. 19, 1881. 5

To the City Council of the City of Chicago :

Gentlemen— In compliance with an order of
your honorable body, passed October 26th,
directing the Commissioner of Public Works to
examine all streets in the city and report the
condition of the same as to pavements; also as

to what streets should be paved in 1882, and
what material should be used, I herewith submit
a list of all the paved streets, the kind of pave-
ment on each, and when paved. Said list
marked "A" being the streets which are m good
condition; the list marked "B" being the
streets which are in passable condition, and the
list marked " C " being the streets which are in
bad condition. I believe there should be inaug-
urated a regular system for paving our streets,
which, if steadily followed up, will in a few
years be of great advantage to the city, and
that is, first pave, as far as our finances will
permit, the central portion of the city, and m
each succeeding year other and adjacent parts,
until the whole city be paved. The present
plan of paving, here a street and there a street,
forces all traffic on those so paved, and rapidly
destroys them, and leaving a large number of
unpaved streets leading into them, from which
the mud is carted upon those paved, rendering
it almost impossible to keep them in a clean
condition. The people are generally willing to
be assessed for pavements; but the city is, from
want of funds, wholly incapable of paving the
intersections. Ifind that in the South Division,
as far south as Twenty-second street, all or
the north and south streets are paved. To pave
the east and west streets north of Twenty-
second street would, therefore, require the
paving of no intersections except of the alleys.
In the West Division, as far west as Ashland
avenue, all east and west streets, from Fulton
on the north to Harrison on the south, are
either paved or already ordered to be paved.
Therefore, in the territory so bounded, the
north and south streets could be paved, with
no intersections to be done except of alleys.
In the North Division, east of Wells street and
as far north as North avenue the north and south
streets are paved, so that all cross streets could
be improved without the necessity of pa ving any

[1881.

intersections, except of alleys. There are a
very few exceptions to the correctness of the
above statements. I would, therefore, recom-
mend that all un paved streets in the boundary
above described bo paved during 1882. Here-
with submitted is a list of the streets within
said territory and notations showing what are
paved and their present condition, and also
those which are not paved. Said list is marked
•« D." I believe you should steadily look for a
better material for paving inside streets than
wood. All streets between Chicago avenue on
the north, Halsted street on the west, and
Twelfth street on the south, should be paved
with stone blocks, or some artificial material

having something of the durability of stone.
Within the territory indicated there should not
be another wooden block laid; as I'a8t as those
now laid wear out, they should be replaced by
something better.

I have not had any estimates made of the
city's portion of the cost of the pavements
above recommended, for I wished first to get
your views on the matter. Nor have I looked
for streets which should be paved outside of
this territory. Your respective constituencies
press you sufficiently as to such improvements.
Carter H. Harrison, Mayor,
In charge of the Department of Public Works.

Your Committee on Fire and Water, to whom

Co having had the same under advisement, beg
leave ro report that your Committee referred
the same to the Law Department, with instruc-
tions to draft a proper ordinance which they

ion of the Law Department, for the further
consideration of the Council.

J. D. Everett,

Chairman.

J. D. Everett, Chairman, etc.:

A petition of the American Cable Company
has been referred oy your Committee to this
Department for the purpose of having a proper
ordinance drafted. After thinking the matter
over, I have come to the conclusion that it is
impossible to comply with the request, for the
reason that any ordinance purporting to grant
the privilege asked for by the American Cable
Company would be manifestly improper. The
company, after premising that it is the " manu-
facturer of underground electric conductors,
etc., modestly prays that the Council "will
direct that a proper ordinance be drawn and
presented to the Council granting unto your
petitioners the authority to lay said conductors
under the streets and alleys of said city in such
manner as may be specified in such ordinance."
This comprehensive privilege would doubtless
be very valuable to the American Cable Com-
pany, but the convenience or advantage which
the Citv of Chicago would derive from it is not
so apparent. If this company is, as stated, a
mere manufacturing company, and not at all
engaged in the business of telegraphing, it will
not desire to lay conductors for its own use, but
only for the use of companies or associations
engaged in the business of telegraphing; and
when it shall have a contract with any such
company or association for the laying of con-
ductors there will be no difficulty in granting
a license for that purpose. The case of licensed

plumbers La a good illustration, k plumber,
though licensed to do business, La not, by virtue

of such license, entitled to make excavations in

the streets for the construction or repair ot
water pipes, private drains, etc., but must on
cverv occasion when it becomes necessary to
make an excavation In a street, applj tor a
special permit for that purpose.

Respecfully, Francis Adams,

Authorizing the Mutual Union Telegraph Com-

Seventh— And further, upon the condition that
the said Mutual Union Telegraph Company will,

approved by the Mayor of the City of Chi-
cago, in the penal sum of $25,000, conditioned

MINORITY REPORT.

To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of

Chicago in Council assembled :

Your Committee on Streets and Alleys, S. D.,
to whom was referred an ordinance to allow
the Mutual Union Telegraph Company to erect
telegraph poles, string and maintain its wires
in and along the streets and alleys in the City
of Chicago, beg leave to report that the minor-
ity of your committee find that the City Coun-
cil passed an ordinance April 18, 1881, prohibit-
ing the erection of telegraph poles and the
stringing of telegraph wires in and along the
streets and alleys within the corporate limits
of the City of Chicago; also, that the Council on
the 10th of October, 1881, passed an ordinance
authorizing the Mutual Union Telegraph Com-
pany to lay down and maintain its wires under-
ground, and the Company accepted said ordi-
nance and had laid down several miles of
underground cable. Therefore, the minority of
your committee can see no good and sufficient
reason for the repeal of the ordinance passed
April 18, 1881. Our principal streets are now
nearly all occupied on one or both sides with
poles, covered with a net work of wires, which
prevent our firemen from saving the lives and
property of ourcitizens. The peopleof Chicago
have been alive to these dangers for several
years, and for this Council to pass an ordinance
doubling the danger would be an outrage on
our citizens. The statement that underground
cables are an experiment is not true. They are
in successful operation in the larger cities of
this country and in Europe. The same plea
that is being used to induce this Council to

pass the ordinance allowing the erection of
temporary poles may be used as successfully on
some future Council to extend the time indefi-
nitely. And, therefore, the minority of your
committee recommend that the ordinance of
the Mutual Union Telegraph Company be
placed on file.

"em Railroad Company is hereby directed and
••requested to erect, construct and maintain a
"viaduct and all necessary approaches over
"their tracks, at the intersection oi Chicago
"avenue and North Halsted street.

"Such viaduct and approaches shall be con-
structed according to plans made by the
"Department of Public Works, and such via-
"duct and approaches shall be constructed
"within the time fixed by the Mayor and Com-
"missioner of Public Works; and be it further
"Resolved, That the Commissioner of Public
"Works is hereby directed to prepare plans for
"a proper viaduct and approaches at the inter-
section of Chicago avenue and North Halsted
"street, and to serve a copy of these resolu-
tions, together with such plans, upon the
"proper officers of the Chicago & North- West-
"era Railroad Company, and request them to
"build a viaduct and approaches according to
"said plans, within the time to be fixed by the
"Mayor and Commissioner of Public Works.
"And the Commissioner is hereby further di-
rected to perform such other duties as are
"specified in Sections 1842, 1843 and 1844 of the
"Revised Ordinances."

The Chicago & North-western Railroad Com-
pany, as it now exists, is the result of the
consolidation of several railroad companies, one
of which was the Illinois & Wisconsin Railroaa
Company. The consolidation was approved
and confirmed by the General Assembly of the
State, by act passed February 16, 1865. The
North-Western road acquired, by such consoli-
dation, all the rights belonging to or vested m
the companies consolidated with it, The Com-
mon Council of the City ot Chicago, October 4,
1852, passed the following ordinance:

"Section 1. That the Illinois & Wisconsin
"Railroad Company are hereby authorized to
"lay down, through their own land, or such
"land as they may acquire by purchase or
"otherwise, the track, switches, turn-tables
"and turnouts as said company may deem
"proper, within the following described. limits
"of the West Division of the City ot Chicago:
"Allot' Waubansia addition west to the center
"of Jefferson street, and that part of Russei,
"Mather and Roberts' addition lying north of
"Owen street, and those parts of Sections 4, 5,
"8 lving between Milwaukee avenue and the
"north branch of the Chicago river, and for
"the purposes of such track to intersect and
"cross any street or streets said company may
"deem proper; the city hereby reserving to
"itself the power to control the manner of con-
"structing said track and the motive power to
"be used and the speed of the same." Munici-
pal Code, page 615. .

The territory described in this ordinance in-
cludes the intersection of Halsted street and
Chicago avenue. The ordinance was accepted
and tracks were constructed by the Illinois &
Wisconsin Railroad Company, as authorized Dy
it and the North-Western Railroad Company
as above stated, succeeded by consolidation, to
the rights of that company.

The ordinance and the acceptance thereof by
the railroad company constituted a contract, anei
the question is, whether the city can, without
a violation of that contract, compel the company
to construct the viaduct mentioned in the
resolution. I am of the opinion it cannot The
city in the ordinance granting ^e privilege to
construct the tracks reserves - the power to
control the manner of constructing said track,

[1881.

and the motive power to be used." This is the
only reservation of power contained in the
ordinance, and it cleariy does not include the
power to compel the construction of viaducts.

In the case of City of Chicago v. Sheldon, 9
Wallace R., 53, the Supreme Court of the
United States held that an ordinance granting
to the North Chicago City Railway Company
the right to construct its tracks on a street, and
the acceptance thereof by the company, consti-
tuted a contract, and that the ordinance having
provided only that the railway company should
keep the part of the street between its tracks
in repair, it would be a violation of the contract
to require the company to pay an assessment
for the construction of a new pavement. In
recent ordinances the power to compel railroad
companies to construct viaducts has been re-
served, but in the early history of railroads in
the city the Council, as evidenced by various
ordinances, seems to have been anxious to
admit the companies into the city on any terms
and unconditionally.

The power proposed to be exercised by the
resolution is not conferred by the general incor-
poration law (the present charter of the city),
either in express words or by necessary impli-
cation. The powers in relation to railroad com-
panies, and the obligations which may be im-
posed on them as to street crossings, the con-
struction of their tracks, &c, will be found in
Sec. 62 of the General Charter.

Mun. Code, p. 20, Sec. 63, pargraphs 26 and 27.

These paragraphs do not confer the power to
compel the construction of viaducts by railroad
companies.

Paragraph 28, next following, confers power
upon the city "to construct and keep in repair
bridges, viaducts and tunnels." The fact that
the power to construct viaducts is conferred
upon the city by paragraph 28th of section 63,
while all mention of viaducts is omitted in the
two preceding paragraphs, prescribing the pow-
ers of the Council over railroad companies as
to street crossings, &c, excludes, by necessary
implication, in my opinion, the power to compel
the construction of viaducts by railroad com-
panies.

I think it unnecessary to refer to provisions
in the former special charter of the city confer-
ring powers upon the Council in relation to
railroads, because the present charter provis-
ions on that subject are intended as a substi-
tute for, and operate as a repeal of the provis-
ions in the former special charter.

Your Committee has also referred to me for
an opinion a resolution directing the Chicago &
North -Western and Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy railroad companies to construct a via-
duct over their tracks at the intersection of
Centre avenue and Sixteenth street. There
being no provision in the ordinances granting
permission to construct and operate the rail-
road tracks on Sixteenth street (formerly North
street,) imposing upon the companies the duty
to construct viaducts, I am of opinion, for
reasons previously stated, that the Council has
not the power assumed to be exercised by the
resolution.

If the power existed, the proper way to exer-
cise it would not be by resolution, but by ordi-
nance. It is manifest that the passage of the
resolutions in question would be entirely futile.

If the railroad companies should refuse to
comply with them, as they certainly would,
there would be no means of enforcing them.
The only effect ual way of exercising such a
power is by ordinance imposing adequate pen-
alties for its violation. If such an ordinance
should be passed, and the companies refused
compliance with its provisions, then, in suits
for the prescribed penalties, the question as to
the existence of the power would be presented
for judicial determination.

REPORTS OF CITY OFFICERS.

His Honor the Mayor submitted his report of

the week ending December 24, which was

Placed on file.

ALSO.

The following veto message:

Chicago, Dec. 28, 1881.
To the City Council of the City of Chicago:

Gentlemen— I herewith return to you, with-
out my approval, an order passed December
23d, 1881, directing the Comptroller to pav to
the Illinois Staats Zeitung Company eight hun-
dred and seventeen 44-100 dollars in full of all
claims and accounts of advertising and pub-
lication of notices to date, for the following
reasons :

The City Council not having designated any
paper in which city notices were to be published
in 1881, I consulted with the Law Department
and learned that the contract with the Staats
Zeitung and Telegraph for priming in 1879 was
no longer subsisting, and that the city could
have its printing done in some other paper if it
thought proper. Early in the month of August
the departments of the city transferred the
printing of notices from the Staats Zeitung to
the Freie Presse, and Mr. Gurney at once
notified the reporter of the Staats Zeitung of
the fact, and I am informed that the same infor-
mation was given to the representatives of that

paper by Mr. Mead, the Secretary of the De-
partment of Public Works. Afterwards I
learned that the Staats Zeitung was continuing
to publish such notices, taking the same from
the Herald and Freie Presse, which papers
were publishing by order of tho city. I then
ordered a written notice to be given the com-

fiany that the city would not pay for such pub-
ication. By the admission of the President of
the Staats Zeitung Company, in his petition in
September last, Mr. Mead, the Secretary of the
Department of Public Works, gave the com-
pany a written notice on the 22d day of Septem-
ber, that the department would pay no more
bills for advertising in that paper when the
advertisements should De copied from any
other paper, meaning thereby that the depart-
ment would pay bills only when it ordered the
advertisements to be inserted. I find, on ex-
amination of the account which you have
ordered paid, that four items, amounting in the
aggregate to $40.80, were for publications
respectively on the 27th and 31st of August,
and on the 13th and 18th of September, so tnat,
by the admissions of the Staats Zeitung Com-
pany, the remaining items of the bill were for
publication after the receipt of such written
communication from the Secretary of the
Department of Public Works. No orders were
given for such publication, but the notices
must have been taken from the Freie Presse or
from the Herald. This the St tats Zeitung did
of its own volition. Moreover, the bulk of the
sum ordered by you to be paid is for publica-
tions'subsequent to September 29th, on which
day a petition from the Staats Zeitung Company
to the Common Council was received by you
asking you to order the auditing of its bills.
This company, therefore, while this petition was
before you for consideration, continued to copy
notices from other papers. I cannot see, there-
fore, any justice in its demand for payment of
these bills. There may be some propriety, per-
haps, as to the payment of the $40 80-100 for
notices published prior to September 22d, and
this amount I would order paid if presented,
on the ground that notice had not been given
formally. But for the remainder there is
neither propriety nor justice. If the company
has right on its side, the courts are open to it;
but the finances of the city are not in such con-
dition that you should pay a paper for notices
published against the orders of the depart-
ments having charge of such notices. Mr.
Adams, Corporation Attorney, informs me that
the payment of these bills for items after the
notice of Mr. Mead to the Staats Zeitung Com-
pany, will be wholly illegal. The city will find
itself next year utterly unable to raise suffi-
cient funds to properly improve its streets and
run its various departments. It should be our
utmost endeavor to husband every resource.
Carter H. Harrison,
Mayor.

Aid. Cullerton moved that the communica-

The motion prevailed.

The following is the communication:

City Law Department, i
Chicago, Jan. 19, 1882. S
To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of

Chicago in City Council assembled.

Your honorable body has referred to this de-
partment the following resolution, passed on
the 16th inst.:

"Resolved, That the Corporation Counsel is
hereby requested to report to this Council
whether, under the present city charter, the
entire cost of improvements upon streets, in-
cluding intersections, may not be made by
special assessment upon contiguous property."

There is precisely the same power to improve
the intersections of the streets by means of
special assessments that there is to improve
any other parts of the streets by such means.
The city has power to make local improvements
by special assessments, and the improvement of
the intersections of streets is a local improve-
ment. The city has not power to provide by
ordinance that the entire cost of any improve-
ment shall be paid by special assessments
against private property. Such an ordinance
would be void for these reasons: First, It
would arbitrarily impose on the property the
entire cost ©f the improvement without regard
to the question, whether the property would
be benefited to the extent of the entire cost.
Secondly, Under Section 139 of the charter
(Mun. Code, sec. 140), it is the province of the
Commissioners appointed by the court to de-
termine how much of the cost of an improve-
ment shall be paid by the city, and how much
shall be assessed against private property. I
have no doubt, however, that if the Commis-
sioners are of the opinion that private property
will be benefited to the extent of the entire
cost, they may legally assess the entire cost
against such property. It is possible that an

Jan. 23,]

320

[1882.

ordinance might legally be passed providing,
that in the event that the city's proportion of
the cost of the improvement, as fixed by the
Commissioners, should exceed a certain sum,
the improvement should not be made.

In this, however, there would be no advan-
tage, because, incase the Commissioners should
assess an amount against the city too large, in
the opinion of the Council, the Council might
then abandon the improvement.

My judgment is that, in cases where the
•whole improvement, including intersections,
shall be ordered to be made by special assess-
ment, there will be no practical difficulty, for
the reason that the Commissioners uniformly
impose only a very small percentage of the
cost upon the city.

Respectfully,

FRANCI8 ADAMS,

Corporation Counsel.

The Comptroller submitted his estimate of

expenses for the fiscal year, 1882, which was

ordered
Published and referred to the Committee on

Finance.
The following are the estimates:

Department op Finance, ;
Chicago, January 16, 1882. \

To His Honor the Mayor and Members of the
City Council:
Gentlemen— The visible amount of money

for the maintenance of the city government

for the present fiscal year is as follows:

Tax levy of 2 per cent, upon a val-
uation of $119,151,951.00 $2,383,039.02

Cash from licenses, rents, etc 350,000.00

Cash from Gage assets, old taxes
and savings for 1881 ........ 150,000.00-

$2,8S3,039.02
Less 2% per cent, for non-collec-
tion of taxes 48,851.00

Total revenues $2,834,188.02

It is hardly necessary for me to say that the
estimates herewith submitted, and differing so
widely from the demands of the various depart
ments, are predicated upon the amount at our
disposal, and not upon a disposition to thwart
the reasonable expectations of our citizens or
city officials. Very respectfully,

Your obedient servant,
Theodore T. Gurnet,
City Comptroller.

City op Chicago,
Office of Superintendent, y
No. 4 City Hall,
Chicago, January 19, 1882. J
Hon. T. T. Gurnet,

City Comptroller:
Sir— Herewith please find estimates of the
expenses of the Department of Buildings for
the fiscal year beginning January 1st, 1882, and
ending December 31, 1882:
For salary of one Commis-
sioner $3,000.00

For salary of one Secre-
tary 1,800.00

For salary of one Eleva-
tor Inspector 1,200.00

For salary of four Build-
ing Inspectors 4,400.00

Keeping of one horse and
buggy for each Building
Inspector, at $300 eaeh . 1 200.00

—- $11,600.00

It will be seen from the above figures that an
increase over last year's estimates is called for
to the amount of $2,300.

I have already matured a plan by which the
receipts of the Department may be largely in-
creased, so much so, indeed, that with the
increased expenditure the Department will be
more than self-supporting.

The number of Inspectors to perform the
work is now too small. In considering the
matter I have deemed it to be the better and
more economical plan to furnish the present
force with the keeping of a horse, than to em-
ploy additional men. With a horse, one man
can perform the work of two.

I would be pleased to have an opportunity to
explain in detail my plan for increasing the
revenue.

(Signed.) Alex. Kirkland,

Commissioner of Buildings.

Department of Public Works, )
Chicago, Jan. 17, 1882. \
Hon. T. T. Gurnet, City Comptroller:

Sir— In accordance with the ordinance of the
City Council, I submit herewith the annual
estimates of the Department of Public Works
necessary to be appropriated for the repairs
and improvements to be undertaken by the
city during the present fiscal year, to be paid
for out of the general fund of the city.

T. T. Gurnet, Esq., City Comptroller:

Dear Sir— In presenting to you my estimates
of the probable cost of maintaining the Fire
Department for the fiscal year 1882, 1 desire to

70,210.55

500.00

oiler the following explanatory remarks, to-
wn- i would recommend that a lot be pur-
chased In I he vicinity of North and Milwaukee
avenues, for the purpose of locating an engine
company. An appropriation whs made for that
purpose" in 1876, but on account of the condi-
tion of the city's finances during that period
the Bame could not be used. As the number ol
buildings in the above named vicinity are con-
stantly increasing, and the nearest engine
station a distance of one mile, I think it proper
a move should be made to secure better lire
protection for this locality.

Also, that an amount be appropriated for a
lot and building in the vicinity of Aberdeen and
Madison streets. The amounts formerly ap-
propriated for this purpose not being adequate,
1 have, therefore, recommended an additional
amount. . . .'

Also, that a lot be purchased in the vicinity
of State and Twenty-seventh streets. Loca-
tion for a hook and ladder truck and chemical
engine. , , ,

I would also recommend that a double lot, a
portion of city lots located at the corner of Ar
nold and Eighteenth streets, known as "The
Old HospitarLot,1' be secured or held for this
department for the purpose of locating Engine
Co. No. 8 and Hook and Ladder Co. No. 4 there-
on, the property now occupied by the said
companies to be sold, and suitable buildings be
erected on those lots from the proceeds of the
sale of such property.

Also, that the city's lots on the corner of
Illinois and Franklin streets be exchanged for
a single lot in that vicinity, and a suitable
building be erected thereon from the amount
already appropriated for this purpose, and an
engine company be located therein.

Also, that the lot now occupied by Chemical
Engine No. 4, No. 180 Dearborn avenue, be sold
or exchanged for a lot in the vicinity of Clark
and Huron streets, as the present site is but 70
feet in depth. . • .

I also ask for an additional appropriation for
a lot in the vicinity of Halsted and Division
streets, as the amount allowed for this purpose
last year was too small ; also for buildings, ap-
paratus, etc.

In recemmending the above exchanges and
sales of the property belonging to this depart-
ment, I have taken into consideration the fact
that the city will be benefited thereby, not
only in a pecuniary manner, but it will give
better fire protection to not only the particular
localities such changes will touch but the city
generally. It will be a better distribution of
the various companies. By the exchange or
sale of lots as above recommended, the city will
no doubt receive a bonus which can be used lor
the above purposes, and thereby lessen the ex-
penses of this department.

Total for Police Dept. .

$141,898 50
$849,720.50

The amount asked for is in increase of the
amount for former years, but is still within the
limit of actual necessities.

It requires no argument of figures to estab-
lish the fact that the present police force of
the city is by no means sufficient, and that the
public welfare and safety demands that some
step shall be taken for its immediate increase
to reasonable numbers. The city can no longer
afford to have its interests jeopardized by pro-
viding for only one-half the number of patrol-
men that it really needs. I have therefore
asked for 250 additional patrolmen at the rate
of seventy dollars per month each for nine
months, which with the present number will
give us 500 men for regular patrol duty. I have
included in the estimates provision for extend-
ing and completing the police telegraph system
which has been in operation in some parts of the
city, with excellent results, lor the last year
For this purpose there will be required ten
new police telegraph wagons, 30 horses, 200
police alarm telegraph boxes on street corners,
new police telegraph stations and barns, and
48 additional men for duty on police telegraph
wagons for six months, whose salary is com-
puted at the rate of seventy dollars each per
month. This is all that is necessary to equip
and complete what is beyond any doubt the
mo§t excellent system of police service ever
conceived, as it is also the admiration of all
who have studied or witnessed its workings.
For the purpose of explaining more fully the
value of the system, and the many advantages
which will result from its general use in every
police district in the city, I have prepared and
submit herewith a statement marked "Ex-
hibit A," showing the service performed by
two operators and six policemen in charge of
the wagon located in West Twelfth street
district for the last year. This is the only one
which has been in service for one full year, and
is taken on that account. I respectfully invite
attention to the figures. I also find that it is
absolutely necessary this year to increase an-
other item in the estimates from the figures of
former years, and have therefore asked for
seventy-five men for the day squad, for duty
at street crossings, bridges, tunnels, railroad
depots, steamboat landings, lumber markets,
etc. Last year only forty were allowed for this
purpose, but before the season of navigation had
fairly opened it became necessary to add to that
number by withdrawing men from the already
insufficient patrol force. However much the
latter was crippled by this depletion, there was
no alternative— policemen must be stationed
at bridges and each of the principal down-town
street crossings to regulate and keep reckless
teamsters in subjection, and for personal safety
of the thousands of people who have to cross
those streets. I have asked for this day squad
service, as well as for all other purposes in-
cluded in this communication, the smallest
number necessary, and only such as are urgent-
ly needed to render proper and satisfactory
police service, and believe it will so appear to
any person who will study the subject. The

additional force asked for, to- wit: 250 men tor
patrol duty and is for service on police tele-
graph wagons, are computed at the rate of

onlv only $840.00 each per year, to be. classed as
patrolmen of the second class, and to serve tor
one vear from the date of their appointment
in that grade and at that rate of salary. Those
scrying oa tbeday squad should he experienced
men selected from the present force.

Knowing that you are aware of the necessity
of the expenditures mentioned in the above
estimates, 1 trust that your acknowledged
financial skill will enable you to devise means
to warrant their allowance by the City Council.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,

VVM. J. McCARlGLE,

Oen'l Supt. of Police.

The Comptroller submitted the opinion of the

weighers.

Aid. Schroeder moved that the communication

The motion prevailed.

The following is the communication:

Department of Finance, )
January 23, 1882. \

To His Honor the \Mayor and Members of the
City Council:
Gentlemen— As the inclosed opinion of the
Corporation Counsel, Francis Adams, Esq., in-
volving discrepancies in city ordinances touch-
ing public and city weighers, I have thought it
advisable to submit it for your consideration.
Very respectfully,

Theodore T. Gtjrney,
City Comptroller.

City Law Department, I
Chicago, Jan. 20, 1882. f
T. T. Gurnet, Esq., City Comptroller:

Dear Sir— I have received a communication
from you of date January 14th, 1882, asking the
following questions:

First— How much are city hay weighers
entitled to charge per load for weighing- hay ?

Second— How much of the fee charged is to
be paid into the city treasury ?

Third— Is the ordinance, entitled " An
Ordinance concerning public weighers," passed
November 16th, 1867, in force ?

City weighers are appointed by the Mayor,
and are required to give bond in the penalty of
one thousand dollars, with sureties to be ap-
proved by the Mayor, conditioned for the faith-
ful performance of their duties, and are also
required to provide themselves with proper
scales and to weigh any coal, hay or other

article when so requested by any person, and
for that purpose to be present at their scales,
either in person or by deputy, during all
reasonable hours each day Sundays and public
holidays excepted. (Mun. Code, Sees. 2059.
2060, 2061, 2064, 1339.)

City weighers are not paid by salary, but by
fees collected in the performance of their offi.
cial duties.

Section 1339 of the Mun. Code provides that
city weighers, upon delivering to any person,
for whom a load of hay has been weighed, acer-
tificate of the weight, may demand and receive
the sum of ten cents from the person having
the hay weighed, for the me of the city.

Section 2065, which is applicable to all city
weighers, and to the weighing not only of hay,
but of coal and other articles, provides that
weighers shall be allowed to charge and receive
ten cents for every load or part of a load
weighed by them.

The question is whether, under Sections 1339
and 2065, twenty cents is to be charged for
weighing each load of hay, or only ten cents.
If ten cents only is charged and collected, the
weigher will receive no compensation for his
services, because by Section 1339 the sum of ten
cents must be collected for the use of the city.
This could not have been the intention of the
Council, because no one could be found to dis-
charge gratis the duties of the office.

I am, therefore, forced to the conclusion that
under the ordinance a fee of twenty cents is
to be charged for weighing each load or part of
a load of hay, ten cents of which is to be paid
into the city treasury.

The ordinance of November, 1867, concerning
public weighers, provides that every person or
corporation weighing for hire in the City of
Chicago, shall be deemed and taken to be a
public weigher, and that persons or corpora-
tions desiring to engage in such business shall
first procure a permit from the Department of
Public Works, and shall enter into a bond for
the faithful performance of their duties, etc.

Section 3 of the ordinance provides that the
City Comptroller shall prepare and cause to be
printed books of blanks for certificates of
weight; that no certificate shall be given to
any person, except from such books; that the
books shall be furnished to the public weigh,
ers by the Comptroller, and that they shall pay
for the same at the rate of five cents for each
certificate, etc. By Section 5 the weigher is
entitled to charge ten cents for each load
weighed, whether of hay oranything else. The
latter ordinance covers the whole subject mat-
ter, and, besides, some of its provisions are in-
consistent with the provisions of the former
ordinance.

Section 1,338 of the revised ordinances pro-
vides that no person, except a city weigher
duly appointed and qualified, shall erect or
have any scale or apparatus for weighing hav
on any street, avenue or public place in the
City of Chicago.

This provision necessarily excludes public
weighers, who may have obtained permits from
the Department of Public Works under the
former ordinance.

Again, under the former ordinance the weigh-
ers were called public weighers, and acted in
pursuance of permits issued by the Department
of Public Works, while the latter ordinance
provides for city weighers to be appointed by
the Mayor, and prescribes for them the same
duties prescribed for public weighers by the
ordinance of Nov. 16, 1877. I am, therefore, of
the opinion that the ordinance of Nov. 16, 1877,
was repealed by the revised ordinance.

There are some apparent inconsistencies in
the revised ordinances to which I think it my
duty to call your attention. For instance, it
provides, as I have shown, for a fee of twenty
cents for weighing each load of hay, half of
which goes to the weigher as his compensation,

Jan. 'IS,]

339

11M82

and the other halt" into the City Treasury, while
it only provides for a tee of ten cents lor weigh-
ing eaon load of coal, I Lie whole tee to go to the
weigher. The ordinance ot Nov. 16, 1877, was,
in niv opinion, more in the interest Of the city
than the present ordinance. By that ordinance
the citv's portion Of the fees charged were col-
lected in advance, viz: by the sale to the pub
lie weighers of the blanks for certificates ot
weight, while by the present ordinance the
city is not entitled to any of the fees for the
weighing of articles other than hay, and the
only security which it has for the payment to it
by the weighers of its portion of the tees for
weighing hay, in addition to the official bonds,
is the City Comptroller's right to inspect the
books ef the weighers, and to require a return
from them under oath. In other words, the
city's only security is the personal integrity of
the weigh'ers and their official bonds.

It is manifest that this is not as good security
as cash in advance.

Respectfully,

Francis Adams,
Corporation Counsel.

The Clerk presented an invitation from the
Mechanics Steam Fire Co. No. 6, of New Or-
leans, for the Council to attend their 42d anni-
versary on March 14, 1S82.

Aid. "Hildreth moved that the invitation be
accepted and placed on file.

The motion prevailed.

The Department of Public Works presented
a report covering orders for the erection of oil
lamps on sundry streets.

Aid. Everett moved that the report be pub-
lished.

The motion prevailed.

Aid. Smyth moved that the report be referred
to the Committees on Streets and Alleys of the
three Divisions.

Agreed to.

The following is the report:

Department Public Works, t

The Clerk presented the following communi-
cation from His Honor the Mayor:

Chicago, January 23, 1882.

To the City Council of the Citij of Chicago:

I herewith return to you without my ap-
proval, an order entitled. "An order for the
employment of R. S. Tuthill and A. S. Bradley
as special counsel," passed January 16, for the
following reasons. The preamble of this order
is as follows:

"Whereas, During his term of office as at-
torney for the city, R. S. Tuthill, Esq., to-
gether with A. S. Bradley, Esq., represented
the city in the litigation in the United States
Court, involving the validity of the ordinance
passed bv the City Council In March, 1878, im-
posing license upon street cars, and under the
direction of the city authorities have since con-
tinued in the conduct and management thereof,
and are familiar with the questions involved."

The recitals of this preamble is a mistake.
Mr. Tuthill, it is true, did represent the city at
first and has since been continued in the case
by consent of the city authorities. But I have
never known that Mr. Bradley was in any way
employed by the city. He has been employed
by Mr. Tuthill to assist him, and to that extent
is in the case, and Mr. Tuthill will compensate
him out of whatever fees he may receive. But
I am unwilling to commit the city to acknowl
edgment of the employment of two special at-
torneys in the case when it had employed but
one. Again, I think there should be some sort
of agreement with Mr. Tuthill as to the maxi-
mum of the fees he may expect. He is willing
to make such agreement.

But this order leaves to future Councils to
fix whatever fees counsel may exact or choose.
This I think wrong.

Some of the Aldermen think that the city
law department can and ought to attend to this
matter directly. I differ with them. Mr. Tut-
hill should continue to manage the case. He is
familiar with it, and the officers of the law de-
partment are not. For them to become so would
require great labor and research, and by the
time they may become prepared they may no
longer be in office. The case may not, and
probably will not come up before the Supreme
Court during the present holding of any of said
law officers. They may none of them be reap-
pointed under the next administration. The
result would be that after giving their time to
preparing this case, time which might be most
profitably given to other and more immediate
matters, these gentlemen would go out of office
and a new set of attorneys would be compelled
to go over the same labor, with a similar loss to
the city. Mr. Tuthill, from all I can learn, has
shown great research in this case, and has
been ably assisted by Mr. Bradley.

He should be continued in it, so that there
may be no let up, and I am informed by him
that he will, if so continued, retain Mr. Brad-
ley to assist him. But that is for him to de-
termine.

It will be Mr. Tuthill's duty, if he gains the
cause, to have the court assess such damages
as it may think proper to enable him to get
good fees from the same. Some agreement
should be entered into wTith him on this point.
He is now willing to make such agreement.
But I do not like to enter into it if this open
order becomes operative. I have had a resolu-
tion prepared by Mr. Adams, which I herewith
hand you, and recommend its passage.

Carter H. Harrison,
Mayor.

Resolved, That Richard S. Tuthill, Esq., be
continued as solicitor for the city in the suits
involving the validity of the ordinance passed
March, 1878, requiring the horse railroad com-
panies to pay an annual license fee of fifty
dollars per car, and that the Mayor and Comp-
troller are hereby instructed to make an agree-
ment with Mr. Tuthill, fixing the maximum of
his fees in said cases, including past and future
services.

Aid. Cullerton moved to reconsider the vote
by which the order was passed.

The motion prevailed.

Aid. Cullerton moved that the order be

Your Committee on Streets and Alleys,W. D.,
to whom was referred a petition of property
holders praying for the repeal of the ordinance
passed August, 1873, for the widening of West
Twenty second street, from Jefferson street to
Ashland avenue, having had the same under
advisement, beg leave to report that we recom-
mend that the prayer of the petitioners be

Respectfully submitted,

Frank Lawler,
Chairman.

Minority report of Committee on Streets and
Alleys, W. D.: ,

To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of
Chicago in City Council assembled :
Gentlemen— In the matter of a petition ask-
ing for the repeal of an ordinance for the
widening of Twenty-second street, from Jef-
ferson street to Ashland avenue, which was
referred to the Committee on Streets and

Jan. 23,]

345

1 1882.

Alleys, W. D. The undersigned members of
Said committee beg to report. .

That the ordinance which this GounoiJ is
Btsked to repeal was passed In the year 1874
without a dissenting voice so far as wo are able
to learn. ' . .

That the buildings which have been creeled
since have all hem built upon the line estab-
lished by the said ordinance.

That the business transacted upon said street
is now very Large and is o< nstantly increas-

That the street is very much cut up and en-
cumbered by railroad tracks.

That although the ordinance calls for the
widening of a veryactiye business street, from
66 feet to a width of 80 feet, for a distance of
nearly Mi miles, there are not over thirty build-
ings. "these all built of wood and of small value,
that' will be disturbed by the change.

We And that the petitioners seeking to repeal
this ordinance are nearly all of them very rich
men who do not live on the street, while some
of them dwell in distant cities.

One of the signers, representing between
3 000 and 4,000 feet of street front, being an ex-
Alderman who originally secured the passage
of the ordinance.

We have examined the subject pretty thor-
oughly and find but very few persons opposing
the ordinance who live on the street. These
few, while admitting the necessity of the im-
provement, think they are not allowed enough
money for their land condemned.

The other petitioners being the large prop-
erty owners, object to the ordinance because
they think the cost of the land condemned is
too much and thev do not want to pay the tax.
We are firm in the conviction that the improve-
ment is very much needed and that it would be
a great mistake to repeal the ordinance. We
therefore advise that the petition he placed on

Thad. Dean.
Alvin Hulbert.
James Peevey.
J as. M. Wanzer.

City Engineer's Office, j
February 3, 1882. f
Hon. Carter H. Harrison, Mayor, in charge
Dept. Public Works:
Sir— In response to an order of City Council,
Dec. 29, 1881, page 292 of proceedings, for esti-
mate of a bridge across the river at Deering
street, the following is submitted:
Curb walls, abutment walls, filling,

etc $25,412.00

River pier and 60 feet viaduct 4,800,00

Center pier, etc ■ • 4,878.00

Wrought iron bridge, 210 feet long. .. 21,000.00
Land required for extension of Deer-
ing street, from Lumber street to
proposed bridge, 35,571 square feet
at $1.50 53,356.50

$109,446.50

This estimate provides for a bridge with
center pier on west bank of the river, leaving
a Single " draw " Of 1»)() feet clear water way.
■should a bridge be constructed in the usual
manner with two draws each with about 60
feet (dear water way, the land required to
widen the river would cost $72,270.00, about
$20 (H)O.OO additional, making the cost of
structure $129,3(50.00. In the latter plan, how-
ever, the widening of the river might be
omitted for the present, leaving one draw,
and the expense of either plan might be reduced
about $12,000.00 bv substituting tressle work of
wood instead of stone walls and filling for the
approaches, making the estimate for the two
plans referred to $97,446.50 and $117,360 respec-
tively. A diagram of the single draw bridge
and the land required is herewith appended.

Respectfully submitted,
Dbwitt C. Cregier, City Engineer.

His Honor the Mayor submitted the follow-
ing annual message:

To the City Council of the City of Chicago:

Gentlemen- The time for the presentation
of the Mayor's annual message has been estab-
lished by custom on the inauguration of a new
Council. The fiscal year ends with the 31st of
December, and, as the new Council does not
take its seat until the first week in May, it has
occurred to me that the proper time for laying
before you statements and suggestions in re-
gard to the conduct of municipal affairs ought
to be made as soon as possible after the end of
the year instead of four months thereafter. I
have, therefore, decided to take a new depart-
ure on this occasion, and, with your kind in-
dulgence, will set forth the operations of the
city government for the year just closed.

In my last message, I congratulated your
honorable body upon the prosperous condition
of the city's finances, and the great advance-
ment made in the character and extent of pub-
lic improvements. It would almost seem
superfluous to assure you that the municipality
has excelled former efforts, and can show more
material progress than in former years, as the
result of a policy which has steadily had in
view the advancement and prosperity of the
city in all that tends to make her great and re-
nowned; but I cannot let the opportunity pass
without saying that, despite the earpings and
croakings of a partisan press, Chicago stands,
in proportion to her population, unrivaled in
the progress made and improvements accom
plished during the year of 188L

Perfection in all things that add to the com-
fort, convenience, peace and security of a peo-
ple associated together in large numbers under
a municipality, as in all things else, is a simple
impossibility. All that can be done is to miti-
gate evils necessarily surrounding a large cor-
porate body, and in this direction, I think I can
justly claim that this city, in comparison with
other cities, has a minimum of them. Of this I
shall speak further on.

What I now desire at the outset to call your
attention to, is the fact that for the first time
in several years, the city has not been obliged
during 1881 to issue any "city scrip." In my
last message, I said I would earnestly endeavor
to so manage the municipal affairs as to evade
any necessity for issuing the paper. That
promise has been fulfilled, and no occasion has
presented itself te demand the issue of a single
dollar. The city, I hope, will never again be
compelled to resort to the cumbersome system.
I congratulate the city upon the result, and
express, I know, the sentiment of the people,
when I say they thank you for having so co-
operated with the administration as to make it
practicable and possible. Their gratitude will
still be yours, if you will continue to co-operate
with me to prevent the necessity of an issue of
scrip during the present year. This can be
done only by properly guarding the general
fund so that we may pay cash as we go.

The exhibits I herewith give have been pre-
pared by Comptroller Gurney, and show what
has been done in the finance department for the
last year, together with the following from
official reports shows the population as taken

These figures forcibly demonstrate the desir-

purposes. Merchants and manufacturers else-
where are beginning to appreciate the tact,

568,760.87

and our population is being rapidly increased
bv accessions from their ranks. I take a clip-
ping from a late issue of the Chicago Times,
which is a strong presentation of the case, to

" There is said to be an uprising and moving
towards Chicago of many of the leading real
estate men ofCincinnati. This Is in the nat-
ural order of things. Taxation is lower here
than in Cincinnati; the real estate market is
active and reliable, and presents a wide held
for operations; the city debt, compared with
that of Cincinnati, is practically nothing, being
less than $1(;,000,00(), over one-half of which
amount comes under the head ot so-called
"waterdebt," while theCincinnati railroad debt
alone is over $20,000,000. With these figures star-
ing the practical Cincinnati real estate dealer in
the face, it is not to be wondered at that he
pulls out and strikes out for Chicago, where he
finds a broad field for his enterprise and indus-
try Dealers in other surrounding cities are also
heading this way. St. Louis is carrying a city
debt nearly twice as large as that of Chicago,
and New York carries a load ot $130,000,000.
Philadelphia has an indebtedness nearly as
large as that of New York, and Boston thinks
herself comparatively easy under a city debt ot
over $80,000',000. Chicago is rapidly gaining in
population from the exodus of real estate men
that recently set in at. the several cities

Since this appeared, I have reliable informa-
tion that during this year there will be a very
large increase of manufacturing interests in
the city, bv reason of heavy establishments
locating branches, or entirely moving here, it
is a remakable fact that nearly every manufac-
turing industry in Chicago has been very pros-
perous during the past three years, and that
rnanv of them have been so to an extraordinary
degree. Many manufacturers who a little
wAle ago were groaning under mortgages and
heavy debts, and trembling on the verge of
bankruptcy, have not only become free, but
have made great additions to their establish-
ments and added vastly to their roster of em-
ployes. To such an extent is this true that
Chicago manufacturer is another name for a
rich and prosperous man. .

A. little over a year ago the Health Depart-
ment was authorized to establish a system of
inspectors of manufactories; although the sys-
teai is but partially perfected, enough statis-
tics have been gathered to establsih the fact
that there are over 135.000 operatives employed
in manufacturing establishments in this city.
This is a startling fact, when one remembers
that forty- five years ago Chicago was a village,
and that twenty years since, excepting agricul-
tural machinery, we had virtually no manu-
facturers. How to feed a large city has been
ever a problem. Chicago stands m the middle
of the grandest grain field of the world, and
railroads run from her heart to coal fields ol
everv character of dusky diamonds, and to
mines of all kinds of minerals. With one hand
our people can reach the corn field for bread,
and with the other for raw material to fashion
into products needed by the world. Who
can, therefore, foretell the limit to Chicago's
growth.

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

The security of person and property is a
desideratum of the utmost importance, and
people are apt to complain when either the one
or the other is placed in jeopardy beyond rea-
sonable limits. They look for ample protection
against the thieves, footpads, burglars and
desperadoes that will always be found in large
cities, but do not expect the appointment of
men t® guard and protect at their very foot-
steps and at all times their body and property.
To do that would require a police force beyrmd
all bounds of reason. They look, however, for

Feb. 6,|

[1862.

a reasonable number of officers, and demand
that such as arc appointed shall be vigilant,
fearless and efficient. Chicago, I confess, has
not the number it ought to have, but when we
consider the imperative demands and require-
ments in other directions, and the tax limita-
tion, which preclude the proper answering
such demands, I can see no possible means of
increasing the force, unless you will use your
chartered rights to raise money by a judicious,
and, at the same time, comprehensive system
of license.

Without such system we can do no more than
to strengthen and improve what is already at
our command. This, in my opinion, lies in three
directions: One is the enlargement and com-
pletion of the telephonic system, which can be
done at a comparatively small cost, and which
when completed all over the city will increase
the efficiency of the service very greatly.

I herewith give you a statement of what has
been expended, and what I think should be
done in this direction:

Salary 3 repairers of lines, at $720. 2,160.00

Salary 40 opera tors, at $600... 24,000.00

Rent of 400 telephones, at $10 4,000.00

$49,380.00

One half of the inhabited territory Is covered
at $40,000. This would give 400 street boxes
and 44 employes to the city for the salary of 50
patrolmen without any telephone system.

The second means I would suggest for an im-
provement of the police force is to have ahorse
at each station, on which a lieutenant can be
mounted, so that he may rapidly traverse his
entire district several times a week and person-
ally watch for violations of ordinances, espe-
cially those which regulate the manner in
which highways are to be used. He could thus
at the same time be enabled to see more effect-
ually to the wants of his district, which at
present in the outlying precincts he is utterly
unable to do.

The third is by. discontinuing to provide
policemen for railroad and steamboat stations,
for theatres, races and other places of amuse-
ment and resorts gotten up for pleasure or
profit. The demand for policemen at such
places in the past has been a great strain upon
the department, and in the future, hampered
as we are for revenue, with a constantly in-
creasing demand for men as the city rapidly
grows, ought to be discontinued. After being
detailed for special duties, officers are unfitted
for immediate patrol duty. Those using police-
men under such circumstances ought to pay
their salaries, and even when they are so paid

they should be compelled, for the privilege of
wearing the star of the city, to have at all
times an eye to the detection and prevention of
crime, and be subject in case of emergency to
the call of the Chief of Police. All such
special policemen should not only be subject to
the rules of the department, but be in regular
police uniform.

Our department is at present in a most active
and efficient condition. With the discipline in
force, this state is being continually enhanced,
and where vacancies are filled the best selec-
tions are sought to be made, regardless of out-
side pressure. The large number of applica-
tions makes this task an easy one and brings
into the force the very best material. If the
finances would permit, I snould be pleased to
see the force considerably increased; but I do
Mot believe in a very large number, as our city
is not so badly situated as people have been
lead to believe Dy chronic croakers, in compari-
son with other cities. Of the truth ef this
statement I shall speak further along and
demonstrate that our force is the best in the
country.

During the past year the total number of
arrests • was 31,713, and the fines assessed
reached $163,937. The value of stolen property
of all kinds recovered amounted to $108,802.56.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The city has great reason to be proud of its
fire department. It is the best ia the country
and has done more to lessen insurance rates for
property owners than all other causes com-
bined. In evidence of this fact I present a
table taken from an insurance paper published
in last October, and as this paper is published
in a sister city it ought to be considered relia-
ble. It is as follows, and covers a period of
four years :

The work of the department during the past
year has been fully up to its standard of ex-
cellence. The following explains itself:
Valuation of property involved ....... $19,738,508

Amount of insurance " 9,662,326

age loss for each fire 1,029.00

In the aggregate the department has re-
sponded to 895 fires, 89 false alarms, and 112

false still alarms; also to 8 outside of city
limits, making a total of 1,104 alarms, which
gives an increase of 186 alarms over those at-
tended during 1880.

Believing as I do that at present the (ire
departments ample for the protection of the
city, and that the police patrol system is to a
considerable extent a valuable aid and ajunct
to the tire department, I hope you will endeavor-
to provide tor the completion of the patrol
system, even at the expense of not further
extending the tire department for tins year.

THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.

This branch of the city's service has been
vigorously and efficiently conducted under the
management of Dr. DeWolf. The last half of
the year past has taxed the utmost energies of
the department. The presence of small pox
has called for prompt and vigorous measures,
and throughout the city the people have been
called upon to become vaccinated. At the com-
mencement a large number of our foreign popu
lation induced thereto by ill-advised persons,
refrained from seeking the advantages of vac
cination. These advisers disseminated among
them such information as that vaccination had
been frequently known to innoculate the sys-
tem with various kinds of dread and loathsome
diseases, and that physicians high in authority
disagreed as to the efficacy of vaccination, and a
great many had, consequently, come to look
upon it as more calculated to invite disease than
to avert it, and, between a known pest and
pests unknown, they preferred to take their
chances on the former. Such advice naturally
prejudiced ignorant people, and no amount of
talk succeeded in dissuading them from their
notions, or made them believe that such dread
diseases as their untutored minds depicted
have been the results of humanized and not of
bovine virus vaccination. It seems almost im-
possible that in this enlightened age there
should be any doubts as to the protective in-
fluences of vaccination. The evidence of years
and every day occurrences in a community
afflicted with the disease go to establish the
value of it. Men who are brought in contact
with small pox have passed unscathed because
of their vaccination and are living evidence of
its potency. I do, not claim that small pox can-
not be contracted by vaccinated persons, but
when they get the disease, it is in its mild and
less dangerous form. How great is the value
of vaccination can best be shown by the follow-
ing table, which exhibits in a remarkable de-
gree and demonstrates most forcibly the office
of vaccine virus:

Had some of our people shown a readier dis-
position to become vaccinated at the start, the
pest would not have gained the ground it did.
In consequence of the neglect, our Health
Department had to inaugurate a system of vis-
itation, and set on foot such measures as to
oblige all to become vaccinated. Since then

die responses to the calls upon the people have
been quite general.

The introduction of the pest is due to the
extraordinarily large number of immigrants,
who haye either Stopped or passed through our
City for the west. Had due precautions been
exercised to quarrantinc at eastern ports
against the arrivals for a period of twenty days
or so, or until a suspected ship load had been
fully disinfected, the spread of the post
throughout our western cities could have been
largely averted. But finding it in our midst, and
tracing its origin to foreigners who have come
here, the Health Department had to set vigor-
ously to work to stamp it out and prevent its
further spread. The Health Commissioner has
been measurably successful, and the pest is
now, I am happy to state, on t he decrease.

In this connection, I desire to suggest that
the present location of the pest house is not as
suitable as it might be. It is in too close a
proximity to the House of Correction, and the
time may come when the prisoners may be-
come subjected a great deal more to the infec-
tion than they have been in the past. Nothing
but the utmost vigilance has saved the inmates
of Bridewell from a general contraction of the
disease. The few cases that have broken out
with the disease have been promptly attended
to, and a thorough disinfection of the premises
inaugurated. In almost every case the patient
had been in the reformatory for weeks, and so
could only have contracted the disease from
infection from the hospital. Some high barrier
ought to be ereeted between the two buildings
and then in the event of small pox ever becom-
ing epidemic in the city, and the hospital over-
crowded, the danger would be very greatly
lessened Certainly it ought to be the duty of
the city to see that the unfortunates who are
sent to the Bridewell are not unnecessarily
exposed.

During the year the mortality of the city was
somewhat in excess of that of the preceding
year. The total number of deaths was 13,S30,
or at the rate of 25.61 in each 1,000 population;
while in the preceding year it was only 20.79.
This increase is due largely to the presence of
zymotic diseases, but is no greater than that of
other cities in proportion to population. Re-
ports indicate that all over the country there
has been a marked increase in mortality, and
Chicago, therefore, is not an exceptional case.
If statistics were at hand, I am satisfied that
our city would make as good a showing as in
the past, compared with other cities.

THE SCHOOLS OF OUR CITY.

The schools of our city have been in a most
flourishing condition during the year past.
The wants of our people have been largely met
with increased school accommodations, and
evidences of progress may be found in all the
divisions of the city. Where the growth of
population, however, has been as remarkable
as it has been in Chicago, having increased ac-
cording to the census at the rate of 20,000 per
annum within the past ten years, it necessarily
follows that some localities have not been sup-
plied with full school accommodations, but the
construction of new school buildings during
the past year has more than kept abreast of
the increase in papulation. But it must be
borne in mind that our city covers, taking into
account the number of her inhabitants, a larger
area of territory than any other city, and to
bring reasonable school facilities within the
reach of all, buildings have been erected where
for some time to come the seating capacities
will not be fully taxed. Take for instance the
Brighton, Central Park and the Oakley schools,
which have been opened during the past year,
and we have in them seventeen rooms for
which there has been no present demand and
which have consequently remained unoccupied.
In some of the more thickly settled neighbor-

Feb. 6,]

380

[1882.

hoods the schools have been somewhat over-
taxed, and arrangements for half-day attend-
ance have had to be made. During the past
two years the Armour Street, Oak Street, West
Thirteenth Street and La Salle Street schools
have been more than filler!, and these are not
the only schools in which there is a pressure
for additional accommodations. In the schools
named the number attending half-day in No-
vember last was 1,062, and the total for the city
in that period was 9,594. Taking these last
figures and dividing them by two and adding
the quotient to the total number of pupils
attending in rented buildings, we have 6,354
scholars for whom there ought to have been
school buildings. During the year just closed
seven new buildings have been opened, with a
total seating capacity of 6,237, which is 2,106
more seats than for the year 1880. In 1880 five
were opened; in 1879, only two; in, 1878 only
one, and in 1877 and 1876 none at all. This
month there will be opened the Wicker Park,
the West Jackson, and in March the Garfield
will be thrown open, and with these increased
accommodations the Board of Education will
be enabled to give up pretty nearly all of the
rented buildings.

During the present year I am informed that
the Board contemplate the erection of eight
new buildings, but I am not advised as to
where it is proposed to locate them. In view
of the fact that the districts unsupplied with
full school accommodations are known, I would
suggest to your honorable body that you order
the purchase of such sites for the Board as will
in a great measure overcome some of the pres-
ent difficulties and reduce the lack of seating
capacity in the overcrowded sections to the
minimum, at the same time conserving the
general school interests of the city. What our
people require is full school accommodations.
To keep pace with the natural growth of our
population the city needs to provide about
three thousand additional seats per annum,
which is equal to four twelve-room or three
fifteen-room buildings, and with what new
structures are in contemplation I am assured
that, if wise counsels prevail, the present
inadequacy of seats as well as future require-
ments will be fully met.

THE WATER DEPARTMENT.

The rigid system adopted in the Water De-
partment has shown excellent results. The
strict enforcement of water rate collections,
the thorough inspection of new buildings and
of old buildings where the water supply has
been increased, and the faithful performance
of duty on the part of all employed have con-
tributed to bring into the treasury thousands
of dollars that would otherwise have re-
mained uncollected. The magnitude to which
the department has grown, requires that it
should be managed on strict business principles,
and, since the inauguration of the present ad-
ministration, it has been our aim to see that
every detail has been conducted with the same
precision and scrutiny as govern large business
houses. Much has been done, but before next
spring I hope the system will be perfected.
The checks and counter checks render embez-
zlement impossible without speedy detection.
Nothing short of collusion with the Treasurer
and Comptroller could enable an employe to
successfully appropriate the funds of the city.
In consequence of the system adopted, there
have been very decided gains in the receipts
during the past year. The receipts were $936,-
639.24, while for the previous year they were
$865,618.35, thus showing an increase of $71,-
020.89. Taking into account the assessment
under the growth of the city, added to the
books of 1881 and not upon previous books,
which I estimate at about $25,000, and allowing
$5,000 for persons who ought to have been
assessed for using a very large supply of water,

but who escaped, I think it safe to say that
$41,021.89 were collected by reason of the in-
creased efficiency of the force. I have recently
ordered a more complete system of inspection,
which will require a larger force, but the addi-
tional expense will be greatly more than offset
by the more rigid inspection and increaaed
collections.

THE HOUSE OF CORRECTION.

The city is fortunate in the management of
the House of Correction. I think I can safely
say that no other institution of the kind is so
well and efficiently managed as the one under
Supt. Felton, and no stronger proof of this fact
can be adduced than the statement that it has
for some years been self-sustaining, in truth
within the past year a source of profit. It has
earned for the city during the past year
$32,865.43 above all expenses — a remarkable
showing, unprecedented in prior years, and un-
excelled by any similar institution in the land.
The present number of inmates are 730. The
growth of the city is largely responsible for
this increased number, but the increased effi-
ciency of the police force and the administra-
tion of a more stern justice by the police magis-
trates have done considerable, and hence the
convictions have been more numerous than
formerly. Of the expenditures, which were
$72,800.01, while the receipts were $105,665.44
the sum of $7,767,77 was for a reconstruction of
the roof of the buildings.

In regard to the exercise of the pardoning
power, a few words will explain. The record
will show that there were some five hundred
and odd releases by the Mayor. These releases
have been for good and sufiicient reasons.
When applications for release are made, I al
ways consult, with a few rare exceptions, the
Superintendent of the House of Correction, and
hence a large number of the releases have
been made on his advice, after his talking with
the prisoner and forming an opinion of his
character and earnestness to reform. Quite a
large number have been released on account
of sickness, and some turned over to the county
authorities for trial on some criminal charge.
Very few have been pardoned until they have
served out a large part of their sentence. Some
of the prisoners, I have thought, nave been
excessively fined, on some trivial charge, by
the committing magistrate, and such I have
therefore released before the expiration of
their time. I have also made it a rule to release
children on application of parents, ana hus-
bands on application of wives, before the close
of term, believing that in this way the prison-
ers would come out with a more kindiy feeling
to those who interceded for their release, and
show a stronger and readier disposition to re-
form. I have, as I said, made very few releases
without consulting Supt. Felton, and where
charges appeared serious, I invariably have
sent for reports from the officers by whom the
arrests were made, and so each individual case
has been considered with reference to benefi-
cial influence upon the prisoner himself. The
releases, in almost all cases, have been made
where the offenses charged have been in viola-
tion of some city ordinance, and not criminal in
themselves.

COMPARATIVE STATISTICS.

The excellent condition of the various de-
partments, as I have already shown, will un-
questionably be assuring to you as it is most
gratifying to me to record. The administration
of police, fire and health affairs of the city has
been subjected to very severe criticism from
quarters little advised as to the true facts, and
the casual observer has been led to believe
that Chicago has been cursed with evils far be-
yond those of other cities and beyond all rea-
sonable bounds. The adverse reports have
found their way abroad in the land, and out-

Feb 6

381

aiders have come to regard the Garden City of
the West great and powerful in everything

save that initio administration of her public
affairs. How grossly exaggerated are these
representations Few stop to inquire. A stranger
that wanders into our midst funis, however, a

far different state of affairs from what he an-
ticipated, ami wonders at the groat many evi-
dences of superiority of our city over other
cities he has visited. He finds that Chicago,
aside from the grandeur of her business houses
and palatial resiliences and her signs of thrift,
enterprise and wealth, is not only well gov-
erned but efficiently protected, and, where he
looked for a state of affairs characteristic of a
reckless, lawless border town, he witnesses an
orderly, peaceful, healthy and cleanly city,
equal if not superior to other cities in the
country.

Facts are stubborn things, and people, if they
only stop to investigate, soon recognize the
claims of onr city to superiority, unless they
are like the man w;ho said he was willing to be
convinced, but at the same time urged that the
individual did not exist who could convince
him. In the case of Chicago, the facts are that
she is ahead of other large cities in all that per-
tains to an efficient management in police, fire
and health matters.

That this mav be more clearly set forth, I
have had a comparative table prepared, which
is for the year 18S0, from the last available
official reports, and is as follows:

From this table it will be noticed that Chi-
cago is third in point of population and fourth
in the number of its police force. She is sec-
ond in the number of arrests and ahead of all
other cities, except San Francisco, in the rate
ofarrestsper 1,000 population. Chicago, with
a force of only 470 officers, shows a record of
almost as many arrests by each officer as those

OUr City. From

a that it: indicated

n umber of law break-

legrcc of lawlessness than in
Other Cities, but other facts to be considered in
this connection do not bearoutsuch a conclusion.
Brooklyn is the boarding house of New York,

and the robbers and thieves of the latter city
find the former a convenient and inviting place
for their predatory propensities. They easily
skip across the river, commit their depredations
and return at once with their booty undetected
by the police. In view of this, the Commissioner
of the Department of Police of Brooklyn has
not only advised the increase of its police force,
but urged " that the authorities should use the
same degree oi care and intelligence as though
it were a part of the metropolis." In further-
ance of this plan to keep out New York thieves,
he also demanded the organization of a Avater
patrol to protect the large interests along the
water front. In consequence of comparative
immunity, the robbers of the metropolis, who
sally over the river and return, do not figure
among the arrests of Brooklyn. Were this class
apprehended, the number of arrests would be
considerably in excess of that given in the table
for that city.

Another thing to be considered is the fact
that Chicago is the entrepot and depot for large
numbers of people from all parts of the coun-
try and from foreign lands, and hence a large
portion of the arrests has been of persons here
only temporary. In a population so great as
ours, there are also a large number of persons
who are not homogeneous, and are absolutely
unknown to each other, and this state leads to
the commission of a great number of minor
offenses and arrests. Chicago is the great rail-
road center of the country outside of New
York. As all roads lead, in olden times, to
Rome, so all lines covering a wide area of terri-
tory north, west, south and east, converge in
this city and bring in a great many people.
Some come to look after business, some to seek
recreation and others to get through to other
points. Several thousand persons are daily
temporarily in the city, and could that portion
of them who are arrested be separated in the
number of arrests from the regular residents,
who fall into the hands of the police for some
violation of the law, it would be found that
Chicago will compare most favorably with
other large cities, and that there is a great deal
less lawlessness per 1,000 of her actual popula-
tion than one would infer from the figures.

In the case of our Fire Department a further
comparison redounds most creditably to Chi-
cago. The total number of fires is larger than
that of any city in the list, and in excess of
that of Brooklyn and St. Louis combined, and
yet the average loss per fire and alarm is the
sixth in the table— almost one-fourth less than
our sister city to the south. Considering that
Philadelphia, Brooklyn, St. Louis, and other
cities are mainly constructed of stone and
brick, while Chicago has pine buildings scat-
tered everywhere, we have here figures that
speak volumes of praise for the promptness,
energy and activity of our Fire Department.

In matters of health, we are also better
situated. Despite the fact that our city is
located upon what was once a broad, marshy
prairie, the sanitary conditions have been very
excellent. Reports to the contrary notwith-
standing, Chicago is one of the healthiest cities
in the Union. Its death rate per 1,000 popula-
tion is less than that of Philadelphia, Brooklyn,
Baltimore, Cincinnati or Washington. Taking
into account the population of the respective
cities in the list, it may be truthfully said that
our city is more healthy than any of them, for
the smaller the city the less crowding there is,

Feb. 6,1

[1882.

the less tendency to poverty and filth, and the
less miasmatic infiuences, and hence there
ought to be more heaRhy conditions and fewer
deaths in cities with smaller populations.

THE OLD LAKE TUNNEL.

By order of your honorable body, the water
in the old lake tunnel was recently pumped
out and an examination made to ascertain its
condition. It was closed fifteen years ago, and
fears were entertainer! that parts of it were in
a broken, decaying state. In company with
City Engineer Cregier and others, I made a
personal inspection of it on the 24th of January
last, and from the land to the crib end I found
it in a most admirable condition, apparently as
ffood and sound as on the day it was put into
use The walls were firm and not a crack was
anywhere perceptible. The only accumula-
tion of earth was in the cross-sections. Here,
where there had been no current, there were
deposits of mud to the depth »f several inches,
which has all since been removed, but the
channel itself was almost entirely clear and
clean The tunnel is five feet in height, while
the new one is seven. In view of the fact that
the city will require at a no very distant day a
much larger supply of water than our present
facilities will admit, I think the time is oppor-
tune for the enlargement of the old tunnel. It
ou°*ht to be increased in dimensions to seven or
ei<*ht feet, and this can be done at a compara-
tively small expense. This work should be
done as soon as possible, before we greatly in-
crease the number of inhabitants, and then
when the city finds it necessary to go further
out into the lake for pure water, she can draw
from the two tunnels all the water required by
the then increased population. It will not
answer to wait until the present capacity of
either one of the tunnels is overtaxed. While
we now can get all the water desired from the
large tunnel, the time will come when the two
Will have to be used continuously, and there-
fore now seems to me the proper time to en-
large the one while the other is adequate to
continue our supply. .«*.■! ^

I trust your honorable body will take the
matter into due consideration and act upon it as
the situation demands.

Before concluding I desire to suggest the
adoption of an ordinance in reference to the
use of covered wagons. There are, I find, in
this city a great many express wagons and
other vehicles which have canvas coverings
that completely sh.ut out the side view of the
drivers and limit their visual organs to objects
immediately preceding them. In consequence
of beina thus enclosed, the drivers, in sud-
denly turning to the side when driving rapidly,
are unable to see to their side, and so often
clash against other vehicles going in a contrary
direction, and sometimes serious accidents
result. To avert mishaps of this kind, an ordi-
nance ought to be adopted to compel the own-
ers of covered vehicles to keep the front side
parts open, or have a window properly arranged
and thus enable the driyers to see whether
other vehicles are coming on the side to which
thev propose to turn. In the same ordinance
some provision ought to be incorporated to
compel all kinds of vehicles to hug close to the
curbstones sideways in all cases where possi-
ble, and so leave a greater driving space in the
streets for others. Our prominent thorough-
fares are becoming yearly more crowded, and
there is no reason why people should allow their
wacrons or carriages to project out upon the
street while they are in some store or office to
transact business. Besides, the closer to the
sidewalk the vehicles are placed the less the
chances of damage from a passing runaway
team or horse, and the greater the safety
and speed of fire engines in getting to a fire.
An ordinance of the kind I suggest would be

alike beneficial to the people as well as to the
city.

There is also another subject to which I de-
sire to call your attention : It is the transfer of
saloon licenses. Under tne old ordinance, in
force before the adoption of the revised ordi- '.
nances, there was but little opportunity or
facility for circumventing the revenues of the
city from this source, because a person then
when he opened a saloon Avas obliged either to
pay the full fee of $52, and at the close of the
year secure a rebate for the time he did not
run, or secure a second-hand license from some
one who had discontinued business. Where
the former course was adopted there was no
loss to the city, and in the event of the latter
policy being followed, the seller was the prin-
cipal loser if he failed to dispose of his license
immediately after closing up his business.

The value of a second hand license depends
upon the length of time in which it has to run,
and, if there is an interval of two or three
months between the closing and selling, the
seller is that much out in the value of his
paper. Under the revised ordinances, which
were adopted in last April, a saloon keeper can
either secure a license from the city by paying
from the first day of the month in which he
begins business, the fees being pro rated ac-
cording to the months of the year, or purchase
a second-hand license. While there were slight
opportunities for sharp practice under the old
order of things, the new ordinance affords
greater facilities for shrewd persons to take
advantage of the city. If the second-hand
licenses were purchased immediately by saloon
keepers on their commencing business, there
would be no chance for trickery, but it so hap-
pens that, either through the oversight of
police officers or their tacit consent, the deal-
ers are allowed in some cases to run several
months without a license. When a they finally
conclude to get a license, they look around for
a second-hand one and buy it for its value at
the time. By such a course they manage to
save from $4 to $12 and the city loses to that
extent. The man who sells has generally run
his business up to almost the very moment, and
the one who buys has run for months without
benefitting the city treasury. In all cases of
transfers I have required a report from the
Police Department, but as the licenses are
somehow usually transferred from some re-
mote section of "the city to another, it is diffi-
cult for them at all times to obtain all the facts
in every case, even where they are so disposed
to do. Where the licenses are taken from the
city a month or more after the commencement of
the license year, I have sent at the end of each
month a list of the licenses to the Police De-
partment, with instructions to ascertain if the
parties began business at the time they gave
to the city collector, and so far only five cases
have been found where the facts were misrep-
resented. Suits against the parties for back
fees were at once instituted after the discov-
ery, and all forced to pay the required amount.
To obviate all tricks on the part of either
sharpers or speculators, which are difficult of
detection, I think it would be well if your hon-
orable body would pass an amended ordinance
allowing transfers to be made only in cases
where one sells out his saloon to another.
Such an ordinance would not only tend to bene-
fit the city treasury, but exercise a salutary
influence upon those contemplating engaging
in the saloon business. In a great many in-
stances, a man starts in with money just suffi-
cient to get a license and buy bar fixtures, and
for the rest secures credit. After a short time
he finds he cannot make it pay, and is obliged to
either close up or sell out. The fact that there
were 459 transfers of licenses last license year
indicates that there were just that number of
individuals who were deluded into a belief of

Feb. 6J

their making the business pay. Had some of
these men been confronted with a Law which
prohibited a transfer to other places they
would have hesitated about venturing into the
business and sacrificing all their money.

One more suggestion and I will conclude:
This citv is destined to be one of the
ereat cities of the world. Nothing but some
dire political revolution can check her growth.
In providing for the wants of to-day we should
look to the necessities of the great future.
Public improvements ample for to-day Will
prove wholly inadequate to-morrow. We
should endeavor to provide for the morrow not
onlv what will be needed materially, but also
for the demands of a refined and refining taste.
It cannot be expected that the people of to-
day will or should rob themselves to gratify
the people of the future. No city in a free
country can be made magnificent out of the
nroceeds of immediate taxation. It should be
made grand, but coming generations should
help to bear the expense. We should pay

r cent needed for present municipal pur-
poses, but we should provide for future Chi-
cago, and should ask that future to help. us so
provide That can be done only by issuing
bonds for great and permanent public improve-
ments. To this end the legislature should be
asked to move for a change in the State s con-
stitution, to permit us to issue bonds tor such
permanent improvements. Checks should be
so thrown around the issuance of such bonds
that extravagance may not be fostered, and
that speculative and corrupt rings may not be
brought into existence. Bonds should be per-
mitted to be issued only to a limited amount
during anyone year, and should be only for per-
manent improvements.

Some means will have to be devised for car-
rvin° off the sewage of the city, and a water
svstem must in a short time be inaugurated
sufficient for a million of people. Our present
umnels will be ample for SjO 000 to 800.M0
people; we will reach that before 1890. We
should have viaducts of a permanent charac-
ter—of stone. These and their approaches
will be very costly, and in a few years we shall
have to turn over our new city hall to the
courts of the county. A new city hall will
then have to be built. It should be commen-
surate with the wealth of the future Chicago.
We shall need each year large and airy public
schools. All of these public improvements
should be built, not for to-day, but for the
hereafter. The wealth of the future should
he drawn upon for their cost.

In conclusion, gentlemen, permit me to thank
you for your uniform courtesy to me and tor
your hearty co-operation in all matters of great
public interest. . ...

Gentlemen, since the foregoing was written,
a so-called report of the late Grand Jury ot
Cook County has been published in the papers,
which is so unjust to the Mayor and to the
Police Department, that I feel I owe to you a
refutation of its false slanders. Some time
since I was told by a well-known Republican
that a certain member of that Grand Jury in-
tended, if possible, to besmirch me in the jury
report He told me that he himself was not my
friend in any sense, but that he was opposed to
the Grand Jury being used as a political ma-
chine, and he, therefore, wished me to know
that this scheme was on foot.

The regular report of the Grand Jury is
signed by its foreman, but there is published
what purports to be a supplemental report
with no signature. ,

The Grand Jury is instructed and sworn not
to divulge what transpires during its sessions;
vet this paper pretends to report the testimony
given by myself and by the Chief of Police and
other policemen. It has these words: "He
(the Mayor) denied, however, to be in possession

of the slightest evidence on which a Grand
Jury could act; but admitted in the same
breath to have forced the owners of gambling
houses, citing that of M. C. McDonald in par-
ticular, by threats of a raid, to refund money
lost in their establishments." This is false. I
made no such denial. I told them I had seen
keno played in two establishments less than a
vear ago, and named the houses; that I went to
them for that purpose, and that I had ordered
keno stopped, and had caused one of the houses
to be raided for not obeying the order; but that
I had not personally seen any other gambling
in anv of the so-called gambling houses. I did
tell thorn that I had asked McDonald by note
to refund money claimed to have been lost in
his house; that the said McDonald had come to
me and asked if I reallv wished him to give this
money back, and went away leaving upon ray
mind the impression that he would not do so,
and thereupon I had ordered his house pulled.
But I did not say I had threatened McDonald
that I would raid his house; I told them that
about dusk of that day a partner of a prominent

law firm had telephoned me that McD had

repaid the money. The Grand Jury could
easily have summoned the members of this law
firm, and so obtained all the testimony neces-
sary. I told them I had gotten back other
moneys lost. They did not ask who were the
parties paying the same. They were not look-
ing for testimony.

This paper says: " He (the Mayor) admitted
finally to have instructed the police repeatedly,
and even during the session of the Grand Jury,
to permit gambling under certain restrictions.
This is false! In answer to a question if I had
not done so, I stated most positively that I had
never given any such instructions, but that 1
had instructed the police that if minors, drunk-
en men or poor mechanics we re allowed to play
in any house, or if suppers were furnished, or
liquors given away or sold, or if ropers-in were
employed, or cards of advertisement were
issued, or if a house was kept open after seven
o'clock Saturday evenings, then the house or
houses so offending must be raided; that other.
wise I left the matter to the discretion ot the
Police Department. .

This paper says: "Mayor Harrison claims
that the laws against gambling could not be
enforced without detriment to the public.
This is utterly false! I told them that I
thought I could do better by controlling and
regulating the gamblers than I could by at-
tempting to close them up, as previous admin-
istrations had attempted to do with signal
failure, and then told them there were fewer
gambling establishments in the city to-day than
had been during any administration since the

Vhe man who wrote this so-called report is a
bitter enemy of mine, and, I have learned, got
himself appointed on the Grand Jury, and
boasted to one of his fellow jurors, before they
were sworn in, that he intended making things
hot for the Mayor. . -

The Chief of Police and the Chief of Detec-
tives furnished the jury with a list ot alt of
the gambling houses known to them in the
city. On this list, opposite each house, on one
side was the names of those reputed and be-
lieved by the police to be the owners, and on
the other side the names of men employed in
the respective houses who claimed and ac-
knowledged themselves as owners, and in two
instances the same name was on each side.
And yet, with this testimony, this report false-
ly states that no evidence was furnished them
on which they could find an indictment. They
could have found true bills against the reputed
owners, and the State's Attorney could easily
have found testimony to convict. They could
have found true bills against those who claimed
and confessed themselves to be owners, and

Feb. 6,]

the witnesses were before them to prove the
confession, and to prove that these men were
dealers or regular partners in the several
houses.

This grand jury, for reasons best known to
itself, did not wish to hurt the gamblers,
and one man was bent upon throwing mud
upon the city officials for political purposes,
and others permitted this paper, concocted in
the office of a political newspaper, to be at-
tached to the regular report of the jury.

And yet this grand jury, which violates its
oath in divulging what transpired during its
sessions, which perverts the truth, or positively
asserts falsehoods in this so-called supple-
mental report, sets itself up to be the moral
censor of the city administration, and made
itself the tool of one man, who got himself upon
the jury to vent his personal venom and to
make political capital.

To the Mayor and Aldermen of the Ctty of Chi-

no authority of law for the publication, in any
language other than the English, of city mat-
ters required by law to be published. I am
still of that opinion.

The following is the report :
To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City to

Chicago in City Council assembled :

Gentlemen-- Your Committee on Finance,
to whom was referred the estimates of the
City Comptrollor for the expenses of the city
government for the current fiscal year ending
December 31, 1882, having had the same under
advisement, respectfully report that your
Committee has confined the appropriations to
the money which can be raised, from taxation
and the estimated receipts from other sources.

Tour Committee regret that it has been un-
able to appropriate for the viaducts, street im-
provements, street cleaning, police, fire depart-
ment and other matters, all that the condition
of the city, its rapid growth and business,
actually requires.

Until the assessment of city property is
made on a fair and equitable basis, or some
other sources of revenue are provided, it is im-
possible to make appropriations equal to the
actual needs @f the eity.

The Committee is satisfied that the appropria-
tions, as made, will net meet the views of a
large pioportion of the Council, but it has done
what seemed the best under the circumstances,
and hopes that the Council can find the ways
and means to so increase the appropriations as
to meet the exigencies that exist.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

The Committee on Public Buildings, to whom
was referred a resolution concerning the new
City Hall, submitted a report thereon.

Aid. Lawler moved tnat the report be de-
ferred and published.

The motion prevailed.

The following is the report:
To the Mayor and Alder-men of the City oj Chi-
cago, in Council assembled.

Your Committee on Public Buildings, to
whom was referred a resolution asking how
much, if any, the walls of the new City Hall
have settled, and to what extent the columns
have moved and are out of place, having had
the same under advisement, beg leave to report
that with the assistance of the Building In-
spector, Mr. Kirkland, they have caused sur-
veys to be made and find the facts to be as fol-
lows:

The total settlement of the new City Hall
building since the commencement of the same
is as follows:

Southeast corner Washington and La Salle
streets, KW inches.

Northwest corner Randolph and La Salle
streets, 8% inches.

Northeast corner Randolph and La Salle
streets, 8% inches.

Southwest corner Washington and La Salle
streets, 8X inches.

Since the month of September, 1880, the set-
tlement of the outside bearing walls has been
equal.

From September, 1880, to May, 1881, the settle,
ment was 2 inches, and from May to December,
1881, 1% inches.

The wall of main building on La Salle street
behind the portico has settled 1% inches more
than the 4 piers of the portico. The result of
this unequal settlement 4s that the main walls
of the building has dragged with it the back of
the portico, thereby displacing a number of the
stones and cracking others.

The unequal settlement as above described
has caused no buckling to take place in the
outer portion of the piers, that being the case
the Superintendent of Buildings informs your
Committee that there is no danger of falling.
The cause of the settlement is in consequence of
the foundations of the main Avail and of the
piers of the portico being equally strong, and in
view of the fact that the weight of the wall3
in rear of portico as completed is about 5,800
tons, while that of the portico with the addi-
tional weight to be added thereto when com-
plete will not exceed 2,000 tons. From the
foregoing facts it is quite evident that a mis-
take was made when the foundation for the
building was put down.

The supervising architect informs your Com-
mittee that he had allowed the portico to stand
in its present condition for the last twenty-two
months to allow the main walls to have their
whole weight and the settlement to be as
much as possible before doing anything to re-
place the damage done to the portico.

He has now commenced to have the damage
done to the portico caused by the settling of
the main walls more than the portico put back
into their proper position, and also to have the
piers of portieo lowered two inches, which will
plaee it one-half inch under the main wall
This being done and additional weight put on
the portico, he feels certain that the level of
the main wall will not go under that of the
portico, all of whieh can be done with safety
and at an expense of $2,900, and when com-
pleted will look as well as if it had been taken
down and rebuilt, thereby making a savins to
the city of at least $15,000.

POLICE.

The Committee on Police, to whom was re-
ferred an order to grade the police force, sub-
mitted a report recommending that it be placed
on file.

Aid. Riordan moved to concur in the report.

The motion prevailed.

ALSO,

The same Committee, to whom was referred
an order concerning persons who frequent gam-
ing houses, submitted a report recommending
that it be referred to the Chief of Police.

Aid. Rioraan moved to concur in the report.

The motion prevailed.

WHARVES AND PUBLIC GROUNDS.

The Committee on Wharves and Public
Grounds, to whom was referred an order con-
cerning chairs placed in the aisles of theatres,
submitted a report recommending its passage.

Aid. Cullerton moved to concur in the report
and pass the order.

The motion prevailed.

The following is the order as passed:

Ordered, That the Superintendent of Police
be and he is hereby instructed to strictly en-
force Sections 923 and 925 of the Revised Ordi-
nances of 1881, relating to placing of chairs in
the aisles or passage ways of halls, theatres,
opera houses, etc.

ALSO,

The same Committee, to whom was referred
the petition praying that the Sixth Regiment,
I. N. G., be permitted to build an armory in
Lake park, submitted a report recommending
the passage of an accompanying order.

Aid. Schroeder and Lawler submitted a mi-
nority report recommending that the petition be
placed on file.

Aid. Cullerton moved that; the reports be
deferred.

So ordered.

HARBOR AND BRIDGES.

The Committee on Harbor and Bridges, to
whom was referred the petition of Walsh & Co.
for permission to erect signs across certain
bridges, submitted a report recommending that
the prayer of the petition be granted.

Aid. Bond moved that the report be deferred.

So ordered.

ALSO,

The same Committee, to whom was referred
a resolution for filling the river, from Lake
street to Harrison street, etc., submitted a re-
port recommending that it be placed on file.

Aid. Dixon moved to concur in the report.

The motion prevailed.

LICENSES.

The Committee on Licenses, to whom was

referred a preamble and resolution concerning
licenses, submitted a report recommending that
it be placed on file.

Aid. Cullerton moved that the report be laid
over and published, and tliat the subject of
licenses be made the special order for March
6th.

The motion prevailed.

The following is the report:

To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Chi-
cago, in Council assembled.
Your Committee on Licenses, to whom was
referred the preamble and resolution present-
ed to this Council on the 9th of January last,
by Aid. Riordan, having had the same under
advisement, beg leave to report that they can-
not approve of the scale of licenses suggested,
for the reason that some of the fees proposed
seem to be unreasonably high. Others are al-
ready properly provided for by existing ordi-
nances, and others, we believe, cannot be legal-
ly classified as proposed, while in our opinion
an ordinance imposing a license upon the sev-
eral branches of business suggested would be
clearly illegal.

By the closingresolu tion of the reference now
under discussion, it would seem that your com-
mittee are called upon to adopt the* proposed
scale of licenses as a whole or not at all. To
remedy what might have been an error, and
with a view of putting ourselves in a position
to advise that some licenses might be advanced
and the revenue so much needed oy the city
obtained, a resolution was introduced at the
regular meeting of the Council on the 6th inst.,
asking that your Committee might have power
to suggest what licenses might be reasonably
advanced in price. From the decided opposi-
tion to the passage of this resolution shown by
the Council your Committee is no longer in
doubt upon the point that you want no sug-
gestions from us upon the question of licenses.
We recommend that the preamble and resolu-
tions be placed on file.

Thos. Pdrcell.

[1882.

To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of

Chicago in Council assembled :

Whereas, There is no higher duty imposed
upon the Mayor and Common Council of our
city than to provide, so far as in their power,
by the enactment and enforcement of wise and
effective ordinances, for the moral and physical
welfare of the people of our city, and particu-
larly of the young, upon the formation of whoso
character depends the future of our munici-
pality; and,

Whereas, It is the duty of all good citizens
to co-operate in all such labor, and by a fitting
expression of their views to encourage or call
for such legislation as manifestly tends to the
attainment ot this supreme purpose of civil or-
ganization; therefore,

Resolved— 1. That we urge our city officials
to greater earnestness in the enforcement of
the existing laws of this State and ordinances
of our city for the prevention of the sale of
liquors to minors, and preventing minors from
playing at games in saloons; and particularly
we ask that the Mayor shall, in all cases where
parties are satisfactorily shown to be guilty of
infracting any of the provisions of these laws
and ordinances, at once revoke the license of
such offender, and decline thereafter to re-
issue such license either to sueh offender, his
wife, or any member of his lamily residing
with him. ' „

2. We urge the strict enforcement of the ex-
isting ordinances requiring: all saloons to be
closed at midnight and remain closed for the
remainder of the night.

3. We urge that all possible steps be taken to
secure a reduction of the number, and an im-
provement in the character of our city saloons,
to the end that temptation to all classes, and
particularly the young, may be lessened, and
in this matter we particularly suggest and
ask-
First, That all saloons with which are con-
nected directly or indirectly houses or places
of assignation or prostitution, be treated as dis-
orderly houses and permanently closed, and
the licenses of the keepers thereof permanent-
ly and promptly revoked.

Second, That all saloons in connection with
which, directly or indirectly, are operated any
variety shows, theatres or other like enter-
tainments, be also held as disorderly houses,
inimical to the public weal, and suppressed as
such, and the licenses of the keepers thereof
at once and finally revoked; and
To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Chicago in City Council assembled: . t

Your Committee on Local Assessments, to whom was referred a list ot street ^WOYement^
ordered by the Council for the year 1882, having^had the same ^der^vwement^eg leave to
report and recommend tl
the Council ordinances repealing

in6i5gMd paving North La Salle street, from Michigan street to Chicago avenue.
Curbing and filling Seventeenth street, from State street to Clark street. Q„an„a

Curbing, grading and paving Twenty.fourth street, from State street to South Park avenue.
Grade and macadam Bryant avenue, from Vincennes avenue t© Stanton avenue.
Curb, grade and macadam Thirty-eighth street, from Cottage Grove avenue to Langley avenue.
Curb fill and paveWest Division street, from Milwaukee avenue to Lincoln street,
Curb fill and pave West Nineteenth street, from Halsted street to Centre avenue.
Grade and macadam West Adams street, from Halsted street toHoyne avenue.
Curb, grade and pave West Monroe street, from Halsted street to Throop street.

ALSO,

Third, That ordinances be passed limiting the
number of saloon licenses to be issued to not
exceeding one to every five hundred of the
population of the city, as shown by the last
preceding census of the United States or State,
it being beyond controversy that one saloon is
fully adequate to supply the requirements of
live hundred of the population, embracing men,
women and children, sick or well, drinkers and
non-drinkers, and also raising the license fee to
a minimum of five hundred dollars, thus elimi-
nating tne low and vile saloons, which are a
disgrace to our city and a nuisance to our cit-
izens, kept by persons of no pecuniary respon-
sibility, who, having no property interest in
the good government of our city, and being in
a position to defeat the recovery of a money
judgment against them, are in a large measure
independent of the law, and ready to evade or
violate its provisions.

Fourth, We insist that all saloon keepers be
required to give bonds in an adequate amount
and with good security for their observance of
the laws and ordinances, and we ask that any
official accepting insufficient bonds from any
saloon keeper be at once dismissed, and that any
saloon keeper offering insufficient or "straw"
bonds, or who has given such be refused a
license, or that such license, if issued, be at
once and fully revoked.

These resolutions were adopted by a very
large meeting of citizens held in Plymouth
Church, Sunday evening, April 24, 1881, and the
undersigned were appointed a committee to
present the same to His Honor the Mayor and
to the Honorable the Common Council of
the city.

to whom was referred an order on location of

visement, beg leave to report and recommend
the passage of the order.

W. W. Watkins,
Edward p. Burke.

Ordered, That the Department of Public
Works are hereby instructed that on all streets
hereafter improved, that the catch basins for
the sewers be placed at or toward the middle
of the blocks, and that the summits of said
streets be at the intersections, and where the
catch basins are already in that a special tax
be levied for removing the same and added to
the amount for improving the streets.

Department of Public Works, i

Chicago, March 11, 1882. $

To the Committee on Streets and Alleys, S. D,:

Gentlemen— In response to the accompany-
ing order of the Honorable City Council re-
ferred to this department by you for an opinion
thereon, we have the honor to report that the
matter of changing the location of catch basins
as contemplated by the order has been duly
considered.

Supt. Fogarty and Engineers Cheney and
Hirsch of the Street Department, under whose
immediate charge the street improvements
are made, have submitted their views upon the
subject in writing. Each of these gentlemen
regard the proposed change in location of the
catch basins at or toward the middle of the
blocks and establishing the summits of the
streets at the intersections as a desirable im-
provement over the present plan of making the
summits at the middle of the blocks and placing
the catch basins at the corners.

Some of the advantages claimed by the super-
intendent and engineers referred to, should the
proposed change be made, are

First, It would allow the street crossings to
be nearly or quite level with the sidewalk.

Second, The drainage would be from, instead
of as new, toward the street crossings, whicn
tends greatly to accumulate mud at these
points.

Third, All the aprons or gutter bridges would
be avoided, which are expensive to build and
maintain, dangerous alike to pedestrians,
horses and vehicles, and are too narrow for
convenience of travel, besides being the cause
of accumulations of filth, which, if not re-
moved, acts as a dam, and prevents the free
flow of water to the present catch basins.

Fourth— The intersections of streets would
be relieved of the deep and dangerous depres-
sions at the junction with the sidewalks, and
thus allow more space and greater freedom in
turning corners with vehicles.

The principal objections presented are: I

First— The cost of new basins at middle of
block on streets to be paved, where basins are
already established at corners; this cost is
estimated at $45 to $50 per basin.

Second— The possibility of objection of resi-
dents to the work of cleaning catch basins in
middle of blocks.

These objections are believed by those con-
sulted to be unimportant, in view of the
advantages to the general public which would
accrue in the proposed change.

From inquiry I find the object of placing the
catch basins at the corners, in the early days of
the sewerage system, no longer exists, and
those who designed and under whom for
many years the work of construction was
carried ©a, contemplated the proposed change
as soon as the extent of the system would
admit it.

Lam of the opinion that the change can
now be made with propriety, and to such an
extent as the improvement of streets will
warrant.

I fully concur with the opinions of the
Street Department as to the advantages to be
derived from the change contemplated, and am
informed by the Law Department that an
assessment can be levied for such improvement
as provided by order of Council.

Respectfully submitted,

DeWitt C. Cjregier,
Commissioner of Public Works.

By consent, Aid. Young, of the Committee on
Judiciary, to whom was referred a petition
concerning the Fullerton avenue conduit, sub-
mitted a report recommending the passage of
an accompanying ordinance and amendments
thereto.

Aid. Young moved that the report and
amendments be deferred and published.
The motion prevailed.

The following is the report and the proposed
amendments to the ordinance:
To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Chi-
cago in Council assembled:

Town of Lake View relative to the use of the

ment, shall immediately become the absolute
property of the City of Chicago."

By consent, Aid. Everett, of the Committee
on Fire and Water, presented a report cover-
in? an ordinance of the Chicago Power Co.

Aid. Everett moved that the report and
ordinance be deferred and published.
The motion prevailed,

The following are the report and ordinance :
To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of
Chicago in City Council assembled:
Tour Committee on Fire and Water, to whom
were referred the different ordinances of the
Chicago Power Co. asking permission, authori-
ty and consent of the City Council of the City
of Chicago to build, construct, maintain and
operate in the City of Chicago a system of high
pressure water works, for a period of thirty
years, m and through any or all of the streets,
alleys, avenues and highways and traffic and
pipe river tunnels of the said city, and under
any or all of the branches of the Chicago river,
having had the same under advisement, beg
leave to report:

That your Committee have taken great pains
to give the question careful consideration, and
beg to submit herewith, as a part of this report,
all correspondence in relation thereto, so that
the Council may be better prepared to act on
this very important subject.

The franchises asked for in the various ordi-
nances introduced by the said Chicago Power
Company were of such a magnitude that your
Committee was compelled to exhaust a little
more time than some members ©f the Council
and the introducers of the measure thougut
necessary, but it is to be hoped that the report
from the Commissioner of Public Works in
answer to inquiries made on behalf of your
Committee will sufficiently justify the delay
and satisfy your honorable body that we have
only been actuated by intentions of fairness
and a desire to place before you the actual con-
dition of our Water Department as pertains to
the question of high pressure. It is admitted
on all sides that our business district ot the
city is in great need of better water accommo-
dations; that the increase of high business
structures demand that water must be deliver-
ed at a greater elevation, and it is undoubtedly
true that a tax payer occupying a fifth story
of a building is equally entitled to water as
the occupant of the first, and in order that the
delivery of water to these high buildings may
be made possible, it is presumed the corpora-

tion asking the Eranohiseset forth in the accom-
panying ordlnanoe was formed.
it" was m question with your Committee

whether this whole matter might not be settled

by I he OifrV undertaking to do the work, and by
SO doing conl nine to control and operate m all
Of its branches one Of ChioagO's greatest insti-
tutions, and one which has done more to extend
hur fame throughout the world than any other,
and the one that her citizens have pointed to
with great pride— her water system.

The chairman of your Committee on Fire and
Water introduced into the Council, on the same
evening the above mentioned Power Company
introduced their first ordinance, a set of reso-
lutions which are hereto attached, together
with a letter ef inquiry upon which the Com-
missioner of Public Works has made a very
comprehensive report, showing that beyond all
question it does lay in the power of the city to
undertake and complete the work of delivering
to the distiict bounded by Van Buren street on
the south and the south branch of the Chicago
river on the west, the main river on the north
and the lake on the east, the additional amount
of water under high pressure and at the same
time have it of the same quality as is now
furnished through all our pipe system, which
is explained by an outlined plan accompanying
this report. A decided advantage will accrue
to the district lying south of Van Buren street
and the entire West and North Divisions by the
carrying out of the above plan in the cutting
off of the proposed high-pressure district from
the present system of pipe. The amount of
water now consumed in the proposed high-
pressure district will then be added to the
present supply in the outside portions of the
city, while the seven-foot tunnel from whence
the new district will be supplied will furnish
ample water for pumps of double the capacity
of those proposed for the present high pres-
sure, and yet supply the present West Side
engine and the new one now in course of con-
struction, which will have a combined capacity
of sixty millions gallons in twenty-four hours.
Your Committee would therefore, in the tace
of the facts as brought out by the accompany-
ing reports, recommend that the ordinance of
the said Chicago Power Company he placed on
file and the following order be passed:

Ordered, That the Mayor and Commissioner
of Public Works be and they are hereby
directed to prepare and send to this Council
suitable plans, specifications and drawings,
together with a proper order or ordinance for
the establishing of the high pressure system in
the district bounded south by Van Buren
street, on the west by south branch of the
Chicago river, on the north by the main river,
and east by Lake Michigan, in accordance with
these reports. J. D. Everett,

Chairman.
Resolved, That the City Engineer and Com-
missioner of Public Works be and they are
hereby requested to furnish to this Council,
at its regular meeting, February 20th, estimates
of the cost of furnishing a high pressuse water
system to the district bounded on the south by
Van Buren; north by river; west by south
branch, and east by the lake. The water to
be taken from present lake tunnels, which ex-
tend to West Side water works; also, whether
the present system of water pipes are of suffi-
cient strength to sustain the pressure which a
column of water 150 feet high would cause;
also, as to whether there is now in the posses-
sion of the city any pumps which could be used
for that purpose. j. D. EVerett.

D. C. CREGIER, Esq., ■

Commissioner of Public Works :
Dear Sir— I would be pleased to have you
give me a statement of the surplus water rev-
enues which we have had for the past four or

amount could be saved from said revenues by a
close saving, after paying all legitimate expen-
ses. You notice there is no more bonds coming
due of any kind for the next five years, so that
we ought to be able to have quite a sum at our
disposal for the extension of the water system
at the end of at least three years.
Yours truly

J, D. Everett.

$190,000.00

Second— The water pipe .jow in use are of
ample strength to sustain a pressure due to a
column of water 150 feet high, and the same
may be said of the service pipes and the plumb-
ing generally, with possibly a few exceptions
in cases where service pipe is in use of a lighter
grade than that prescribed by law. It is also
possible that a greatly increased pressure
would cause an occasional displacement of a
service cock.

TMrd— There is not at present in the posses-
sion of the city any pumps or other machinery
that can be made available for the purpose con-
templated by the resolution.

An outline sketch of the proposed high ser-
vice district is herewith submitted showing an
arrangement by which it is believed the object
may be accomplished. Suitable auxiliary
pumping engines may be located at or near
Washington and Market streets and be con-
nected by a sub-tunnel to the shaft of the
main water tunnel near that point, and thus
secure water of the same quality now supplied
throughout the city; from such pumping en-
gines, pipes of 24, 16 and 12 inch diameter would
be laid, as shown on sketch, and form an un-
broken circuit bounded by Franklin, Lake,
State and Adams streets, these pipes to con-
stitute main feeders for the distribution pipe
now laid in the proposed high service district.
By closing certain stop valves shown on plan,
the district from Van Buren street to river and
from south branch to the lake would become an
independent pipe district, entirely disconnected
from the 24-inch main on Wabash avenue and
the 36 inch main on La Salle street, which would
continue to supply the southern portion of the
city and the West Division the same as at
present.

liesDectfully,

Dewitt Cregier,
Commissioner of Public Works.

The following is the communication:

City Law Department, i
Chicago, March 21, 1882. S
To the City Council of the City of Chicago:

The following appeared in the Inter -Ocean ot
the 21st instant, in the report of the proceedings
of the Council at its meeting of the 20th mst:

"Aid. Dixon said that the City of Chicago had
been criminally negligent in regard to her
duties in the matter of opening Dearborn street.
He was surprised that the people ot Chicago
would stand such dereliction of duty as had
been displayed by the Law Department.

I have been informed by persons who were
present tbat the report is substantially correct.
V I cannot permit such a charge, made m open
Council by an Alderman, to pass i unnoticec The
records of the proceedings ot the City Council,
and the records of the courts, contain abundant
evidence of the diligence and success of this
dl partment in all matters relating to the open-
ing of Dearborn street. For the ^formation
of your honorable body, and of the pu^
?he following summary of the proceedings
is ffiven: March 17, 1873, the Council passed
an ordinance for the extension of. Dearborn
J free* f rom Jackson to Twelfth which was ap-
proved by the Mayor March 20, 18/3. Aug. 1
?873, a petition was filed in the Superior Court of
Cook County for the ascertainment of compen.
JatiSn for the land to be taken for the improve,
ment. Jan. 19, 1874, the hearing of the petition
was commenced before Judge Jameson anda
iurv, and continued until March 7, 1874, when
the jury returned a verdict assessing the total
compensation at the sum of $1»114^.69
April 22, 1874, a supplemental petition for an
Cessment was filed in the Supers Court,
commissioners were appointed to make an
assessment, and Feb. 16, 187o, filed the
assessment-roil in the court. March 25, 1875,
the hearing on the application for confirmation
of thfasaeMment commenced, and continued
till April 30, 1875, when the jury returned a
verdict substantially confirming the assessment
June 5, 1875, the Court entered judgment
oi the verdict of the jury confirming the

a TwoTp^eals.one of wbich involved nearly
the whole assessment, were taken from the
judgement of the Superior Court by owners of
property assessed. The city was successful in
both appeals, the Supreme ^^L^tJfhe
tember term, 1876,affirmmg the judgemen^ , o [the
Superior court. No proceedings on the part ot

March 21,]

466

[1882.

the city were ever more vigorously or persist-
ently contested by property-owners than the
proceedings for the opening of Dearborn street,
and none were ever more vigorously or success-
fully prosecuted.

The owners of property assessed, having as-
certained to their entire satisfaction that they
could not defeat the city represented by the
Law Department in the courts, turned their at-
tention to the City Council for the purpose of
effecting that object. In the latter attempt
they were eminently successful. The City
Council, April 15, 1878, being at the time fully
cognizant of the fact that the courts, after a
protracted litigation involving great expense,
had finally decided that there was no valid
objection to the proceedings, repealed the ordi-
nance, and at the same date and same meeting
repassed the ordinance. This was done con-
fessedly for the sole purpose of having a new
assessment of damages or compensation for
property to be taken for the improvement; in
other words, to obtain by circumlocution and
artifice that which could not be obtained by an
honest and fair appeal to the courts. It has
been expressly decided that this cannot be
done, and Mayor Heath, in a message presented
to the Council at its regular meeting of April 22,
1878,very properly vetoed the ordinances, slating
fully his reasons for so doing. July 1, 1878, the
City Council passed both ordinances— viz: the
ordinance repealing the original ordinance for
the opening, and the ordinance reordering the
improvement— over the Mayor's veto.

An i nmediate consequence of this action of
the Council was that a number of suits were
commenced against the city by owners of prop-
erty in respect of which damages had been
awarded, and there was imminent danger that a
very large liability would be imposed on the
city. As yet only one of these suits has been
tried, viz: Henry M. Shepard vs. theCitvof
Chicago. Mr. Shepard received a judgment
against the city in the Circuit Court lor $35,982.
On appeal to the Appellate Court this judg-
ment was at first affirmed, but the city having
filed a petition for a rehearing, which was
granted, the Appellate Court on reargument
reversed the judgment. Mr. Bonfield was
Corporation Counsel at the time of the passage
of the ordinance reordering the improvement,
and until May, 1879. He filed no petition under
that ordinance for the unanswerable reason that
no such petition would be entertained in view
of the circumstances* under which the new
ordinance was passed. It was too patent to
admit of dispute that the Council did not
intend by the repealing ordinance to abandon
the improvement, and if it did not so intend
then the law is well settled that there could
be no new assessment for damages for the sime
improvement, The ordinance reordering the
improvement was itself repealed by the Coun
cil June 28, 1880, on my recommendation, Aid.

Dixon voting aye. I recommended the repeal
because the ordinance reordering the improve-
ment embarrassed the city in its defense of the
suits commenced as heretofore stated, when
the original ordinance was repealed.

This communication will, I think, enable your

honorable body and the public to determine

whether there has been any dereliction of duty

on the part of this department, as charged.

Respectfully, Francis Adams,

Corporation Coume .

ADJOURNED MEETING,

OFFICIAL RECORD.

Present— His Honor the Mayor, and Alder-
men Wickersbam, Dixon, Sanders, Apple-
ton, Shorey, Phelps, Watkins, Wetherell,
Burke, Cullerton, Altpeter, Hildretb, Riordan,
Lawler, Purcell, Smyth, Peevey, Schroeder,

Burlev and Blair.

Absent— Aldermen Sheridan and Hulbert.

The Clerk presented the following veto
message from His Honor the Mayor:
To the City Council of the City of Chicago:

I return to you an ordinance entitled "An
ordinance making appropriations for corporate
and school purposes for the fiscal vear from
January 1, 1882, to December 31, 1882," passed
March 30, 1882, without my approval of the fol-
lowing items in such ordinance, to wit:

Item for salary of seventy-five day squad
men for bridges, tunnels, depots and street-
crossings, $70,875. Item for f alary of 275 patrol-
men of first class, $259,875. Item for salary of
forty patrolman of second class for nine
months at $708, $28,350. Item for construction
of sewers, $200,000. Item street lamp fund,
$377,000. Item, under head of Fire Department
—For seven watchmen, $5,040; also, for lot and
house in vicinity of South port and Webster
avenues, $5,477; also, for four new engines,
$17,500. Item lor erection of pumping works,
etc., or other means of cleaning the river at
Bridgeport, $80,452. Mr. Cregier, Commissioner
of the Department of Public Works, assures
me that will fall $10,000 short of the necessi-
ties for the year. You should restore the
item as it came from the Finance Committee.
Item less cash from miscellaneous sources,
$319,000.

The last item, being at the last part of the
ordinance, affects the entire ordinance, includ-
ing appropiiations for school purposes, for
interest and for library purposes. You did not,
when you voted this item, direct the clerk to
distribute the same. Mr. Adams and I, on con-
sultation, eame to the conclusion that no other
distribution of this amount can legally he
made except pro rata on each item in the whole
bill. Thip you certainly could not have
intended. I find that this sum still falls short
of being sufficient to enable the whole ordi-
nance to come within the 2 per cent, limitation,
for the excess of the ordinance over such limi-
tation is $333,683.

I have been in full consultation with Mr.
Cregier on the subject of sewers. He assures
me that the estimates for all ordinary sewers
petitioned for require $120,000. He thinks it
may be reduced to $100,000. The amount asked
for construction of sewers by the department
was $20J,000. This, however, was intended to
cover the completion of the nine-foot sewer on
Twenty-second street. Mr. Cregier thinks that
in consideration of the very high prices which
will rule for brick this year, such sewer should
not be completed. A large portion of it has
f>een finished, and 2,000 feet are contracted for.
It has a complete outlet at Leavitt street,
which gives relief where relief was so much
demanded. I dislike to recommend cutting
down sewer extension, but I dislike still more
to return to scrip. Last year we had $550,000
appropriated from cash savings. This would
not have saved us from paying scrip if it bad
not been that one of the Collectors gave us
$200,000 during the latter part of last year. But
for this we would have fallen short $160,000.
We had last year loaned to the general fund
$100,000 from the pumping works appropriation,
and $49,000 from the House of Correction.
These moneys we will not have this year. I

March 31,]

earnestly beg, therefore, that you will so cut
clown the items returned to yon, so that we
may not again be forced to use the dishonored
paper. We are forbidden to borrow a cent. If
we fall short, therefore, we must go to scrip.

You have given me so short a time to con.
sider this bill, that I cannot examine the whole
properly. The clerks have not been able to
give me the corrected ordinance even to this
moment, and I have been forced to write this
message within the past twenty minutes. I
recommend that you reconsider the vote by
which these items were passed, and cur them
down as in your judgement may seem fit, and
repass them by an amended ordinance.

Carter H. Harrison, Mayor.

Aid. Dixon moved to reconsider the vote by
which the items vetoed were passed.

nois streets, having had the same under advise-
ment, beg leave to report and recommend the

for the use of the school fund, from E. S.
Dreyer & Co., at the rate of two hundred and

Dan. L. Shorey.
To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of

Chicago in Council assembled :

A minority of your Committee on Schools, to
whom was referred a communication from the
Board of Education requesting the approval
of its action concerning the purchase ef a
school site at the corner of Cass and Illinois
streets, having had the same underadvisement,
beg leave to report and recommend that the
same be returned to the Board of Education
without the approval of this Council, and with
the request t© the Board to re-advertise for a
sehool site in that vicinity, for the following
reasons:

First— That your Committee is of the ©pinion
that the property is not suitable for a school
site, as on one side the same is lined with
barns and stables, in its full length, the prop-
erty being separated from them "only by a nar-
row alley.

Second— That we believe the property not to
be of the proper size for the purpose, as al-
most the entire lot would be taken up by the
building, thereby not leaving anything for
playroom for the scholars.

Third.— That we find the price of the prop-
erty far in excess to its value, as property
directly odjoining the proposed site has lately
been sold at less than half the price asked for
this property, and that your Committee have
not found one single instance in which property
at that point has been sold at anything near
the price to be payed in this case.

conditions of this ordinance, such bond and
sureties to be approved by the Mayor and City
Comptroller.

Sec. 11. The liability of such company to
said city or to any person who may be injured
by the exercise by said company of any of the
rights and privileges hereby granted, shall not

the permits and licenses herein mentioned, shall
be applied for to such department or officer.

The following is the ordinance as passed:
Be it ordained by the City Council of the City
of Chicago:

Section 1. That permission be and is hereby
given to the Brush Electric Light Company of
Chicago to construct and maintain in the pub-
lic streets, avenues, alleys and tunnels of the

consecutive years from the date of the approval
of this ordinance a line or lines of wire to be
used exclusively for the transmission of elec-
tricity for furnishing light and power.

Sec. 2. Said lines of wire shall be put under-
ground, provided that, until such underground
system can be perfected, they shall be tempora-
rily supported by poles composed of wood and
iron, the poles to be not less than twenty nor
more than thirty feet high, and to be placed not
less than 100 feet apart. Provided, That this
shall not apply to lines which may be construct-
ed in or through the tunnels of said city, but
such lines shall be constructed in such manner
as the Department of Public Works may pre-
scribe, and to the satisfaction of said depart-
ment: and provided, that the City Council of
the City of Chicago shall have power to license

structed under the supervision and t© the sat-
isfaction of the Commissioner of Public
Works or such other officer or department as

Sec. 5. The privilege hereby granted snail be
subject to all general ordinances which are now
in existence or may hereafter be passed in rela-
tion to the erection, maintenance, continuance
or discontinuance of poles or lines ©f wire or

respecting the poles of the Brush Electric
Light Company shall be without cost to the
said City of Chicago.

Sec. 6. This ordinance shall not take effect

an crder concerning theatres, submitted a
report thereon.

Aid. Everett moved that the report be laid
over and published.
Agreed to.

Aid. Lawler moved that the report be made
the special order for the next regular meeting
at 8 o'clock p.m.

The motion prevailed by yeas and nays, as
follows:

Yeas— Dixon, Appleton, Watkins, Wetherell,
Burke, Sheridan, Cullerton, Altpeter, Hil-
dreth, Lawler, Purcell, Smyth, Peevey,

Nays— Wickersham, Sanders, Shorey, Phelps,

The following is the report:
To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of
Chicago in Council assembled :
Your Committee on Buildings, to whom was
referred a resolution presented by Aid. Stau-
ber December 19th, 1881, and an order presented
by Aid. Burley of same date, having haa the
same under advisement, beg leave to report
that in company with the Fire Marshal and the
Commissioner of Buildings, they have given
the subject the fullest examination as the ac-
companying report will show. The opinion of
the City Attorney, appended hereto, shows
that the general police powers of the city,
together with existing ordinances, are sufficient
to regulate all points referred to in the resolu-
tion and order.

The report will show how your committee
found each building, wiaat was ordered to be
done, and such recommendations as were
deemed necessary. It also shows in how far
the management of the different theatres have
complied.

Your committee would therefore here recom-
mend that the Commissioner of Buildings, in
conjunction with the Chief ©f the Fire Depart-
ment, be directed to see that all the recom-
mendations made be complied with.

Haverly's Theatre.— This theatre is situated
on the south side of Monroe street, near Dear-
born. The entire seating capacity of this
house is somewhere in the neighborhood of
2,300, but in an emergency it is estimated that
2,700 people may be accommodated. Your
committee suggested to the management that
the rows of seats were too close together, and
that to facilitate egress of a large audience in
case of a panic, a considerable widening of the
side aisles would be necessary, and also an in-
creased distance between the rows of seats.
In the second visit of your committee it has
been observed that this suggestion has been
acted upon; the side aisles widened and the
rows of seats altered in accordance with the
recommendations. This theatre is built be-
tween two buildings, and great difficulty has
been experienced in providing for a side exit
in case of are. From negotiations now pending,
however, there is good reason to believe that
during the summer season an exit will be cut
through the Howland Block on the east side of
the house. That, together with the spacious
front exits, and an additional one ordered by
your committee from tne rear under the stage,
will afford all the egress necessary to the
speedy emptying of the tneatre from the
ground floor.

Mc7icfcer'8 !Theatre.-This house is situated
on the south side of Madison street, midway
between State and Dearborn streets It IS a
detached building, being separated from _ad-
ioining buildings on the east and southwest
ikies by a sixteen loot alley.. On bat account
it is provided with a sulhoiency ot exits tiora
tne first floor, and when the iron platforms and
stairways which are now in process ot con-
struction from the first and second balconies
shall hive been completed, and '•mm***
to them, this theatre will be provided with
adequate exits for the very speedy emptying

0±Innecohnsleqeuence of the abrupt descent of
the upper gallery, it was deemed necessary to
order an iron protective railing in front. Lhis
railing has been placed in Potion. Mp_.t„

The order of your committee that exit
sisns be placed in position has been obeyed.

It was observed that in this theatre espe-
cial clre was taken to render the scenery as
nearly fire-proof as possible. _ To that end a
chemical preparation is used in painting the
sceTes?wh?ch,Pto a great extent, renders the
Canvas fireproof. From the result ot an ex-
perSentmSe by the committee during inves
ligation, they are warranted in asserting ; that
rhe scenerv in this house cannot be ignited by
any mereSsual contact with a flame such as is
sometimes produced in a desire for curtain

and in the loft, while there is necessarily a
certain amount of inflamable material, yet it

interior of his house was in contemplation and
would undoubtedly be consummated during
the summer season, after which no unfastened
seat would be found in any part of his
house.

In some instances the guards were left off the
lights in the dressing rooms. These were
ordered to be put on at onee. Upon the second
visit of your committee this order had been
obeyed and all the lights were properly pro-
tected by the usual wire coverings.

We discovered the space under the audito-
rium to be kept clean and free from an accumu-
lation of inflamable material.

An additional column was considered neces-
sary under the girder supporting the floor of
the auditorium. This was ordered and is now
toeing placed in position.

A very commendable feature of this house
is the smoke and fire escape which has been
constructed over the roof of the stage. In
the occurrence of a fire under the stage or be-
hind the scenes of a theatre (where fires most
frequently occur) experience teaches that one
of the principal evils to be guarded against is
the sudden accumulation of smoke in the audi-
torium and the rush of flames in that direction.
In this house those evils have been completely
avoided as was elearly demonstrated upon the
occasion of a special visit of your committee
when by the assistance of a dozen salamanders
a lot of rags and wet saw dust an inordinate
amount of smoke was generated. The valve
was then operated from the front part of the
house and in less than one minute not a vestage
of smoke remained. This device is on© which
your committee would earnestly recommend to
be placed over the stage of every theatre or
place of public amusement in Chicago.

The hose in the basement for use ia case of
fire was found to be in a deplorable condition
and utterly unfit for use. It was ordered to be
replaced by a new one and properly hung upon
a reel so that it might be quickly and effectively
used in ease of an emergency. This has been
attended to.

Extensive improvements are contemplated
in this building during the coming summer,
after which your committee would suggest
that another and complete inspection ue made
by the Commissioner of Buildings and the Fire
Marshal.

The Grand Opera House.— This Theatre is sit-
uated on the east side of Clark street on the
south side @f the alley, between Washington
and Randolph streets. It is abundantly pro-
vided with exits, which are of easy access,
thereby affording ample means of emptying
the house in ca-:e of fire.

The aisles are spacious and the rows ot seats
are not uncomfortably crowded, but your com-
mittee in going through the building discovered
a culpable negligence in the number of swing-
ing and unprotected gas jets and the dangerous
proximity of steam pipes to the wooden parti-
tions.

In this theatre the wall of the procenium is
ieflamable and dangerous. It was orderea to
be made safe by lining it with some fire-proof
material. Iron shutters were also ordered on
the windows on the south side of the building
to protect the theatre from fire from the adjoin-
ing structure.

A brick partition wall was ordered in the
basement to separate the front from the rear
part of the building.

A hydrant was also ordered in the basement
properly equipped with hose to be used in case
of fire.

The committee are obliged to report that in
the Grand Opera House little or no effort has
been made to carry out the suggestions or to
obey the orders made to the manager.

Olympic Theatre.— This theatre is located on
the east side of Clark street, between Randolph
and Lake streets.

The exits in this house were deemed satisfac-
tory by your committee and on that point no
recommendations were made.

An order for one hundred feot of hose in the
basement has been complied with, as has also
been a recommendation for an iron balconv in
the gallery. J

The usual negligence was noticeable here as
in other houses of an absence of proper guards
over gaslights in the basements. This now,
we are able to report, has been satisfactorily
attended to.

Chairs in the gallery which were found un-
secured have been permanently attached to
the floor, and with the exception of a steam
heating pipe running in too close proximity to
the woodwork under the stage, everything in
this house is in a fair condition.

Farwell Hall.— This hall is located on Arcade
court, with entrance on Madison street. The
exits arc tolerably good and call for no special
suggestions. The portion of the building un-
der the main auditorium was found by your
committee to be badly kept and a profusion of
inflamable material scattered around on all
sides. This culpable carelessness called forth
the unqualified condemnation of your com-
mittee. The boiler, also, was discovered to be
in a dangerous condition, portions thereof be-
ing situated too close toVoodwork. The sug-
gestion made in regard to this hall have not
yet been complied with, but there is reason to
believe that the management is alive to its
own interests and will comply with all the
recommendations made.

Hershey Music Hall.— This building is sit-
uated in rear of 83 to 87 Madison street. The
main exit from this hall is by a long passageway
leading to Madison street. There is also one
leading to an alley in rear of the building. The
seating capacity does not exceed five hundred
at the utmost, and as it is not occupied every
night danger from disaster is not imminent.

Central Music Hall— Is located on the south-
east corner of Randolph and State streets.
This hall, in all its appointments, is strictly in
conformity with the ordinance governing the
construction of places of amusement. The
exits are ample, and every possible precaution
is taken to prevent disaster in this house.

The Criterion Theatre— On the North Side,
and the Academy of Music on the West Side,
are considered by your committee to be the
best appointed places of amusement in the
City of Chicago. A careful inspection ot the
Criterion called for no recommendation or sug-
gestion on the part of the committee, which
pronounced a unanimous verdict of approval.
The exits from all floors are spacious, numer-
ous and upon all sides, therebv rendering a
catastrophe very unlikely. The Academy is
equally well provided with exits, and well
cared for appliances for extinguishing fire.

The Lyceum Theatre— Is situated on the east
side of Desplaines street, between Madison
and Washington streets. This theatre is suffi-
ciently provided with exits. The committee
discovered that the supports of the audito-
rium were entirely inadequate to sustain the
strains that would be placed upon them on the
occasion of a crowded house. The manage-
ment was ignorant of this danger, but upon be-
ing apprised of it, instant action was taken and
the house placed in a safe condition in the
manner pointed out by the Commissioner of
Buildings.

Your committee pursued its investigations
amongst the smaller halls and theatres and
with one or two exceptions found them all in
fair condition.

Owsley's Hall— On the northwest corner of
Madison and Rottey streets, is provided with
the most dangerous winding stairway in the
city. A rush of any large crowd to that exit
from this house could not possibly fail to result
disastrously. An entire reconstruction of that

portion of the building is deemed imperative
by the committee.
