Tho pi-tiest Place In America.

What is declared to be the Glthiest spot on the continent is the intersec- ton of Chicago avenue and Halstead street, Chicago. All day and into the night the pesly tugs of the Chicago river pass under the bridge at that point, emitting clouds of soft coal smoke. Hard by are the rOundhouses of railroad company which is busy the year round. The locomotives burn soft coal. In the immediate vicinity are great factories which belCh forth black smoke thick enough to cut with a meat aX. Ash and garbage dumps are heaped at every turn. A number of concerns that use large quantities of Sawdust are in evidence. As the wind is always in gale in the vicinity, the air is laden with the flying parti- cles of this refuse, which blinds the eyes of people whose business takes them to that part of the city. The rim of the vicinity is the most coSmOpoli- tan in the world. In this settlement are Armenians, Turks, Neapolitans and negroes. It abuts the section which the police call Little He'll" Some parts of the streets are unpaved, and there are stretches of ground where there has never been a sidewalk. Of ten long lines of teams will be stuck in the black mud up to their hubs. The hubbub of Bedlam was grave yard compared to the rGiSe of this community. |
