TRANSPORTATION BOARD IS
CREATED TO SPEND $220,000
An ordinance creating a board of
three engineers to solve Chicago's
transportation problem with the
small amount of $220,000 encoun
tered a good deal more opposition in
the council than it did in the local
transportation committee where it
originated. The council passed this
ordinance last night after an unsuc
cessful attempt was made to draw the
teeth out of it
Aid. Block, former chairman of the
transportation committee and one of
the best-informed aldermen in the
council on this matter, undertook the
job. His first amendment, creating
Engineer William Parsons chairman
of the commission, so it wouldn't be
influenced by the wily Mr. Arnold,
passed. His second, depriving Ar
nold of his $18,000 pay which he
draws down as chairman of the board
of supervising engineers, was de
feated. "Far be it from me to defend Mr.
Arnold," said Aid. Capitain, chair
man of the local transportation com
mittee. "Go to New York, Kansas
City, San Francisco or Toronto and
see what they think of Mr. Arnold."
"Aid. Capitain failed to mention
Cleveland, where they got 3-cent
fares minus Mr. Arnold," said Aid.
Kennedy. "I have here an article
from the Kansas City Star. It is an
.interview with Peter Witt, Cleve
land's traction expert. He says Ar
nold is a bluff."
Aid. Watson arose to clear up the
erroneous impression that he was
opposing the ordinance. He said he
objected to be called a "gorilla," a
"badger" and a "stumbling block" by
the Daily News because he opposed
the appointment of Arnold.
"In the past 12 years Mr. Arnold
has turned in reports to the city
which weigh 2iy2 pounds," he de
clared. "The city has paid $358,147
for these reports, something like
$16,658 a pound. Look at the street
car service we now have and ask
yourselves how many more pounds
you want to purchase."
Eight aldermen were courageous
enough to vote against the ordinance
which will make fine campaign mat
ter for or against those up for re
election. They were Merriam, Block,
Kerner, Ray, Rodriguez, Krause,
Watson, Kennedy,
