Qieago's Tunnel System

Chicago has Sc miles of tunnels 40 tt.
below street grade. They are used for
the carrying Of freight to and from
railway terminals and the business
houses within the tunnel district by
means of electric locomotives. The
tunnels are 8 #. wide by u # high,
with laterals running from the main
lines into the endorsements of the
buildings. The congested downtown
district has been greatly relieved by
this tunnel system, which permits not
only the easy and economical hauling
of merchandise, coal and other supplies
to the large business houses, but rs
we'll the rapid removal of debris from
wrecked buildings and from the site OF
building excavations.

Wealthy Widows

The stupendous figure 1868, 600, 900
sums the resources of u dozen Of
Americas wealthiest widows. 1t is
impossible. Of course, to give the exact
figures. The public statements arc
not to be relied upon, always, and it
Is believed the estimate here given
would fall under instead Of over the
mark. A dozen other names might be
added to the list. almost doubling its
totals.
II is hard to imagine what could be
done with this s%tupcndous sum of
money. The mere figures are too great
to be grasped. 1t is only when COM
PARSONS are made that one may under.
stand what $3GS, 900. 0G0 means.
These ~ widows could buy all the
real estate of Chicago at its assessed
valuation of 1914, 800, 927, and have q
trifle of more than $50, 900, 600 left with
which they could place u gold wire
fence around the great city in order to
keep out the trespassers. They might,
IL they owned the city, legally evict all
It's inhabitants and turn the metropolis
into Il deserted village-unless such an
extreme exercise of the privileges Of
ownership should create n revolution.
At six per cent interest ms n total
income on their combined fortunes
they could keep the city running, in.
Guiding the fire and police departments,
and have housekeeping money left
without intrenching upon their capital.
The expense of operating all the school
In tho city would hardly take their pin
