Chamber of Commerce own q much more
valuable Board of Trade charter than that
under which the Board is itself now run.
For instance, the Chamber OF commerce
anoSnt a.1asag Il of'a real estate. The Board of
Trade cannot own any real estate.
It is easy to see how valuable

charter which permits it to run Board OF
Trade of its own.

The improvements at Pullman make steady
progress. The Pullman Land Improvement
Company will spend S50o,0oO for drainage
md houses. The Pullman Palacc-Car Com
pany expect to plant in all $a,000,000, of
which 81, 100, COO have been already disburscd.
4 new part Of the scheme, not heretofore
made public, is railroad from Pullman run
ming northeast around Lake Calumet to South
Chicago. This will connect the Pullman
Works with the railroads that cross the Calu-
metat South Chicago, and make its rail fa-
~cilities about perfect
u
works Of the North Chicago Rolling Mill
is being pushed as rapidly rs the weather
will permit The foundations of the con-
yerting mill are finished, and the iron roof OF
the ruil uli|l is being placed in position. The
blast mill proper will be ready by the end Of
summer The Steel Company has con-
s.ructed Il slip from the lake for the landing
Of ore, which gives it :, LOU feet OF dockage;
and numerous other improvements have
been n1atle. The Company now does its own
switching. and for the purpose has three
powerful engines constantly at work.
Mr.. Baird, of Bairtl Il Bradley, in CONVEX
satlon with reporter, corfects the mlsstate-
1nellt that rents i1t Evanston arc as high rs
in the city. Rents in Evanston proper-old
Evanstoll-llare come up nearer to old-time
prices, but they don't compnre with the old
olles. When you come to North Evanston
and South .Evanstan, why: rents are not
much more than nominal set, and yet every
thing can TIC reuted now, and this Is the first
year since the panic that this has been true.
TIE WEST PARKS.
The annual report just submitted Of the
West Park Commissioners states that the
total area Of Humboldt and Douglas Parks
is 3so.4l acres: cost, S5o6, 6,osS,N; improved,
2lO acres. The total area OF Central Park is
1S4.s7 acres; cost, S45o, lCo.67; improved, 56
acres. Circun stances are said to have arisen
which made it seem advisable to carry OH the
development and improvement in about the
proportion it has been carried on without re-
gard to location. During the past six years
more work has been done in Humboldt and
Douglas Parks than in Central Park. hence
the latter has fallen behind the others in I'M
provements OF every kind, and landowners III
that vicinity have com p1aineu Of it.. The pres
ent income OF S1o0, ,o00 is entirely Inadequate.

to tho public OIL the LIST Of July next. 1t is
tlirty-ejght feet wide, and reaches from the
Humane fountain IN Central Park to the
main driveway in Douglas Park. The dis
tance is ls,9o7.7l feet. The movement made
BY property-Owners OIL the line Of Humboldt
boulevard to secure the building OF drive
way Similar to that connecting Central and
humboldt Parks, which shall extend north
and east and eventually connect with some
sIui!ar driveway west of Lincoln Park, IS
deemed Of the utmost Importance that the
entire right Of way to make complete con-
nection between the West Side parks and
Lincoln and the South Parks be located and
acquired at the earliest possible moment.
