Since the Odd Fellow picnic at Kin

the question has been raised in Odd

the ground that they gave a Sunday

BOARD ANGRY
ABOUT SIDETRACKS
Green Is a Good Fellow. But
City Is Peeved at Chi
cago Management.

When John L. Rohde, member Of the
board of public works heards yester-
day that H. c., Green. manager of the
Green Line. had been arrested" along
with a number of prominent Elks. as
a prelude to, the picnic, Mr.. Rohde
hoped to hear that Mr.. Green was
charged with maintaining a public
nuisance. in the shape of poor tracks
and lack of sidetracks. Rhode and
Green are good friends personally. and
both are agreed that a sidetrack at the
corner of Calumet avenue and State
street. is a necessity, but when 1t comes
to the point of actually putting in the
sidetracks, Mr. Rohde says. the board
thus far had to content itself thus far
only with promises. The blame for this
however. lies mainly with the Chicago
management and not in the good will
of the Mr.. Green.
