The Choice of Four Different Locations Sub
mittCd.

mittod
CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-The choice of four
different locations for the burial place OF
Gen. Logan was this evening submitted
to the dead generals friends by citizens
OF chicago, Lake Park, South Park,
Oakwood cemetery and tract between
jackson and Washington parks are the
places rendered. The city councils
special committee makes an offer of Lake
Park. At a meeting of the committee
this afternoon it was decided to recon-
mend that the city council to morrow set
aside for that purpose a plat on the
south end of the park to include all the
land south of the south line Of Harmon
Court and extending eastward to the Illi-
nols Central tracks. Tne frontage on
Michigan Boulevard Is about $40 feet
and the lot is 400 feet deep.
The title to this tract is absolute in the
city authorities. The location is on the
shore of Lake Michigan, just outside of
the business centre, equally accessible
from all parts of city, and is on one
of the principal boulevards. A definite
place of burial in one of the south parks
has not been selected, but the park com
mlssloners have practically given carte
blanche in the matter to The family sub
ject TO approval by the state legislature,
which, unfortunately for this plan will
not convene for over fortnight TO
offset the disadvantage of waiting
upon the action of the lsgisla-
ture, the officers of Oakwood cemetery
adjoining South park have formally ten
dered any place in their grounds. In ad-
dltion to the action of the South park
commissioners and Oabwood cemetery
officials number of gentlemen have
pledged themselves to purchase, If de-
sired, a tract midway between South park
and in close proximity to some property
owned by Gen. Logan. All the places
mentioned. except the one rendered by
the city council, are in the extreme
southern portion of the city, none
far from the lake and all in sight
of the driveways which have made that
sectioe somewhat famous In canpec-
ton with the thee propositions from the
sonth end of the city, there are various
plans i'll regard TO a monument and
changing the name of Grand boulevard
to Logan boulevard. The general com
mittee of citizens has arranged for pub
lie memorial meeting tomorrow night In

Chicago throwing measure of doubt
upon the arrangements supposed to have
been already practically concluded for
the funeral. The park commissioners
telegraphed that after consultation with

TO set apart place for buriel in pub

will doubtless be granted at once by ths
Legislature which conrenes next week.
In the meantime the citizens. committee
of Chicago suggested other arrangements
which could be perfected without delay.

kilograms il was decided that the funeral
