YOUR LATEST ON
THE COMING ''DOWNTOWN" SUBWAYS
What will the straphanger get out
of the $250,000 traction and subway
report coming out next month?
Whattw4ll the city treasury get? And
what will the men who run the trac
tion lines,- motormen and -conductors,
get?
These are questions some alder
men will seek answers for when the
big report comes along next month.
, The report, at one time expected by
the middle of November, then put off
until the first week in December, Is
not now expected until the middle of
December. It will cover 2,000 sub
jects, slants and angles "of the trou
bles of, Chicago's half-million .daily
straphangers.
Advance dope on the big report
says it will call for four subways.
Whether these; four comprise a
"dinky." system may be Jydgedi frpni1
the information that the tubes to be
recommended will run from Division
st to 19th, 3 miles, (2) from State
st. to Racine av., iy2 miles, (3) from
the loop southwest under Chicago
river, iy2 miles, (4) from the loop
northwest 1 miles.
"This looks like a starter for a
city-wide system of subways,' said
an alderman. "To call it a downtown
subway is inaccurate. Subways in
every city where they have been built
have had a trick of increasing the
very congestion they wefe supposed
to relieve. I shall discuss this mat
ter from the floor of the council
when the big report is handed in. We
might as well face the fact that we
are going in for extensive building of
these insanitary tubes. In NewYork
our visiting aldermen found subways
haven't ended congestion at alL
Straphangers, packed and jammed
