Chicago Elevated Road scheme.

Consolidation Of the four elevated
roads in Chicago and their use for freight
traffic between the hours of midnight
and 6 q. m. is believed to have been
practically agreed upon. The roads in
clude the Alley az" on the South Side,
the Metropolitan and Lake Street lines
on the West Side and the Northwestern
Elevated on the North Side, now being
constructed. There are nearly $50, ,OOO,-
600 invested in the elevated railroads,
which have not earned fixed charges and
the interest ON the bonds. The Metropol-
itan and the Alley al" are in the hands
Of receivers. The Lake street is tied up
in the hands Of trust company and all
are hopelessly bankrupt. The securities
which control these properties are held
by Eastern capitalists, who have been
figuring on a way to get something out
of their investment.
The proposal to carry freight from one
part Of the city to another was advanced
anumber of years ago by A. G. Wheeler,
who reported to the capitalists who were
preparing to put their money into Chi.
