Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1913-06-28

Mayor Harrison voiced the senti.
ment Of the people Of Chicago on the
awful street car service.
In his annual message to the city
council the mayor denounced condi.
lions - uncomfortable, insanitary,
and immoral"
He charged that the city's over.
crowded cars are IAN ofiense against
decency, danger to health, and an
affront to the intelligence Of good cit
iSenship."
This Indictment" he said, tiles
against both surface and elevated
lines. The almost staggering total Of
the city's share Of the net receipts Of
the surface lines for 1912-92.529, 033-
considered In connection with the con.
ditions which thousands Of patrons
are daily forced to endure, affords con.
vincing proof that health, comfort,
and even decency itself are sacrificed
to the Unsuitable rapacity Of the cash
drawer.
"There should be some recognition
Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1913-06-28

Of the rights Of the public, there
should be q little common sense, q
touch Of generosity and bit Of hui
man feeling, II you will, on the part
Of the corporation managers"
Speaking Of home rule In utilities
Mayor Harrison said in his message:
1T seems strange that in this day
question should be raised in any quar-.
ter of the right Of this great city to
demand the exclusive jurisdiction over
its local affairs. The public utilities
Of Chicago live by virtue Of the power
given them by the city; from the
vigor, the energy, the prosperity, the
activity Of our people they draw their
very life's blood. The city deals fairly
with them. II It failed to do so the
courts would compel fair treatment.
I'VE maintain that the citizens Of
this community who day by day, year
in and year out, are brought into In.
innate contact with local public utility
corporations are better able to Judge
Of the needs Of the community and
