The dicker with the Illinois Steel
Company over the now notorious calu-

keep their'eyes on the Council In this
matter Up to date Mr.. Swift has stood
between the property-Owners ana tax
payers OF South Chicago ana this At
tempted grab of the peoples rights.
The Mayor, even In the secret confer
ences that have taken place behind
closed doors, has stood for the peoples
rights and maintained that the lake
front route shall not be the route of the
proposed road II 1t Is to have any. This
Is something to be thankful for. II ~

ers of South Chicago It may therefore
be said that although the Mayor has
condescended to enter into dickers with

so far has been immOvable on the point
that the lake shore route shall not he

Hence the C.& Il. l. Railroad Company
and Its putative parent, the Illinois

Chicago and OF future generations In
