Chicago has a project for building
an elevated sidewalk. 1t is To be con-
structed in connection with the loop"
extension of the elevated road, and
practically adds second story to the
retail trade of the streets on which it
is located. 1t brings into use the sec
ond story rooms, and, it is expected,
will relieve the congested downtown
trade on the principal streets. 1t is
also claimed that it will be a great
convenience to pedestrians, especially
ladies, by avoiding the filth and slush
of street crossings. The experiment
is worth trying, but at this distance it
looks as if there were still territory
enough in Cook county to accommo-
date the retail trade of Chicago with
out drawing upon the ethereal blue
of the heavens.
