Chicago In a general City Beautiful
scheme, an elevated boulevard over the
Chicago river to connect the north
and south side boulevards and park
systems, has received a black eve.

bouleVards committee of the club ad-
vocated a long causeway or viaduet
which would cost from $4,000, 600 to
$4,000 600, but the taxpayers who
would have 10 foot the bills rose up
wrathfully and declared that the via
duct not only would be "a rich mans
causeway," speedway for automo-
biles." a ''wart" and DETACHMENT in
stead OF an Improvement, but that
such grotesque structure would

self interest was disclosed by the

through the heart of the city, where
property owners will be encouraged to
erect handsome buildings in the place
of dingy ones of the present. IRIS boule-
ward will be fanked with trees and
parking and a plaza, where now is the
