EIGHT THOUSAND ACRES,
beginning ~ miles south OF the mouth OF
Calumet River. has becn put N tho mar
Let, with the view Of snbdivldlng it
and laying out another new manufacturing town
there. The north part Of this land is fourteen
miles southeast Of the Court-House, but from
the HYDE Park Hotel, to which the city is now
continuously built up, it is only about eight
miles, and the prospect is that the rapid extern
sion Of tho city southwark will fill up this gap as
far As South Chicago in three or four yenrs at
most We believe there is no sufficient author
ity for the statement made By morning paper
tint the Pittsburgh l. Fort Wayne Railroad
Company will build their shops on the
aforementioned tract. But those who
arc acquainted with the territory, and know the
facilities that may be made there for docknge in
the various lakes, all Of which can DO entered
from Lake Michigan by vessels, will recognize
at once the probability that one Of the most im-
portant suburbs Of Chicago may be established
there. Indeed, considering the natural auperi-
ority OF the harbo1 facilities of that quarter in
cluding the Calumet River at South Chicago it
is at least a. curious question why Chicago was
not originally located there instead of whero
it is.
THE BALTIMORE ONO
Railroad Company have At lengtE made de1n-
tic proposal to the South Park Commissioners
for the privilege Of running their line through
the southwest corner Of the South Shore Park.
by carrying out the line OF Railroad avenue ION
which they alroady have the right Of way) to
junction with the Illinois Central at Sixty-third
street. The PARK Commissioners are, We be-
Heve, inclined to favor tho plan, though no
definite answer can be given until the full Board
can consult with their attorney as to their
iss sash "dS pri2isge ws fs have any already Fooa oa
previous occasions given the reasons why it
would be benefit to tho park-by making it
more accessible-to have railroad on the pro-
posed route, and We believe the property-own-
ers in all tia, neighborhood are in favor Of nj
lowing the road to 60 through the park under
reasonable restrictions. The Baltimore d. Ohio
paoplo say that it this right Of way can be ee-
cured, they will have their entiro track COM
pletcd and in running order for suburban trains,
from the depot at the foot Of Lako street to
South Chicago, by the middle of May. Should
this bo accomplished it will certainly givo
great impetus to the improvement OF the whole
tract Of territory along the lake shore. fur as
South Chicago.
