crship of street railways was lost In
the City Council at its meeting Mon
day night. The next step should now
be to pass the City Railway tentative
ordinance.
Every thinking citizen of Chicago Is
glad Of Monday evenings work In the
Council, for more silly, unreason.
Ing and absurd proposition was never
advanced than that which has been
developed, carried on and boosted I'M
der this euphOniOus title-municipal
ownership.
This proposition has been kept alive
and fOlstcd upon the Mayor and the
City Council by II newspaper. which,
for advertising purposes, has bcdeviled
the entire community with hysterical
shrieks about the streets being stolen
from the people. u "seli-Out Of the

,nents and allegations.
Outside the desire for advertising It,
self and obtaining II certain amount
of cheap nOtOriety, there may be other
reasons for the extraordinary course
which this newspaper has pursued, but
we do not know Of them. People can
only guess or surmise regarding this
question. 1t can hardly he possible,
however, that the paper In question,
or any portion of the intelligent pub
lie has any serious idea as to the
practicability of immediate municipal
owership
Of course the petition for refer
cndum, containing 10000 names, the
wheel upon which II was mounted
borne in triumph in parade to the
City Hall, preceded by a brass band
may have done a great deal to adver-
tise the publication in question:, but
that was all it did.
Every citizen with spoonful of
brains appreciated tho whole business
at its real worth. Any man who pauses
for an instant's thought will see the
impractlcability of the city's owning
and operating Immediately the street
railway systems of Chicago. In the
first place. the franchises for the main
or trunk lines do not expire for years
to come, but are, as stated by the
court, to be preserved to the owners
under the old ninety-nine-year act, 9TH
erwise known as the horse and dummy
act, which enactment OF the Iegis-
lature has been held over and over
again by the courts to be absolutely
constitutional and in full force. 1t

travelling public to ride part Of the

trunk lines and then compelled to pay

lET'6 NAVE THE TROLLEY LOOPS,

UnreasOning opposition 10 every
thing that Is being done for the i'm
prOvement and benefit of Chicago Is
one Of the distinguishing features Of
the policy Of certain alleged reform
organizations, and of the Socialistic
element whose attitude toward public
progress and business interests in Chi.
cagO, has ever been that of the dog
i'm the manager.
The discussion over the proposed
establishment Of down town loops by
the Union Traction Company, while
the tunnels are being lowered is a
case in point. Nobody can understand
the inca ming Of the opposition to grant.
ing permission to this corporation 10
establish trolley loops while this work
IN in progress, except the authors Of
II, and it is doubtful il even they un-
derstand their own position.
The Union Traction Company il
evidently In earnest in the cndca vOr
a. do something for Chicago aud the
travelling public II given a chance. but
these people do not want to give them
"a chance. The professional knock
crs' seem to think 1t incumbent upon
them to hammer at every proposition
involving enterprise, public progress,
and Improvement in public service;
they consider it to he both their mis-
sion on earth and their stock in trade,
II matters not To them that "A com.
,pliancc with their unreasonable de-
mands means great injustice 10 the
public, and "a serious injury 10 the
Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1904-10-08

business interests of the entire city:
they evidently believe they have n
destiny to fulfill. and they go ahead
regardless of what the outcome may
be.
Now to the average citizen. 1t must
he at once apparent that when the
tunnels are closed down there must
he some temporary means adopted 10
supply the deficiency In transportation
facilities thus created.
It IL for the interest OF the travel
ing public that the traction company
should he permitted to put up all the
trolley loops they may deem necessary
for the handling down town of the
north and west side traffic. TO deny
them this right would be an outrage on
the public upon whom 1t would entail
tremendous Inconvenience, suffering
and loss.
II was Il shame In the first place
to impose upon the traction companies
the duty and the cost of lowering these
tunnels. Two of them---thc Washing
ton and La Sale street tunnels--were
built by the city. the railway people
having had nothing to do with their
construction whatever. II lake traffic
has been injured by them 1t was plain
~ the duty Of the government and the
city to bear the cost Of lowering ar
replacing them. Now that the traction
cOmpan ies are going into the work 1t
IL worse than injustice to further har.
rass them.
1t IL public outrage. and the public
should put it's foot down firmly ana
heavily upon those responsible for 1t.
