BAD 81" SERVICE.

Chairman Eugene Block OF the To-
cal transportation committee OF the
city council wrote to the elevated rail-
road arrangements, demanding better
service.
The letter follows:
1t Is rather disappointing to find
the elevated railroad service growing
worse from day TO day, instead OF I'M
proving. Surely decent service might
be rendered in the early part OF Sun
day afternoons II any effort were
made to give it. Yet my personal OBJ
seryation yesterday showed conditions

not obtain a seat northbound at sixty
third street and South Park avenue
and the train ] boarded was crowded
TO suffocation before II reached the
loop district. Other trains we're equai
" crowded. At the same time. to m!
personal knowledge, the Sixty-hrs'
street yard Of your company wa'
full OF idle cars. -,
81 had thought the elevated rail-
roads would make some effort to bet
ter service. They have promised &c
order cars, but they ought meanwhile
to use the cars they have. TIN tni'
connection would ask that you ADVISE
me whether the new cars are yet or
dered.)
This morning the service on thf
South Side elevated was very poor
The trains were subject to a grea,
deal of delay and many people reached
their work late. II Is reported to me
that there was just as much delay on
the other lines. and there seems to be
need for strong Improvement all ove'
the system.

FACTS ABOUT CHICAGO.

Chicago and the neighboring towns
comprising the Chicago district ranked
second In 1909 among all the met
ropolitan districts OF the country In
the value Of its manufactured prod.
ucts, according to an announcement
made by the census bureau. II far
exceeded any Of the districts in the
value Of the products Of the slaughter
Ing and meat.packing industries.
The metropolitan district OF Chi.
cago embraces 4O9,s07 acres. l1s.43S
acres In Chicago, and 2OO.654 acres
outside. The population Of Chicago
proper In 1910 was 2,lS5,2S3 and that
OF the outside territory 261,63S, a total
OF 2,445,921.
The district includes Chicago, Ber'
wyn, Bloom, Calumet, Cicero. Evans
ton, Leyden, Lyons, Maine, New Trier'
Niles, Norwood Park, Oak Park, Fro
viso, Ridgeville. Riverside, Stickney
Thornton and Worth townships. all In
Cook County, and Calumet and North
townships In Lake county. Indiana
Within these townships, or co-exten
sive with them, are seven incorporated
places OF 10000 or more inhabitants
In 1909 the Chicago district had
l.O22 manufacturing establishments
employing an average OF S93,s59 per
sons during the year and paying 1855.
626,9l5 in salaries and wages.
Chicago contained 1913 per cent o.
the districts population, contributed
900 per cent Of the value of products
had 946 per cent of the manufacturing
establishments. and gave employment
to 900 per cent OF the average number
of wage earners for that area. Or th'
places outside Chicago, Hammond re
ported the largest value OF products
but this value represented only pei
cent of the total for the district, while
the population of that city formed oni!
nine.tenths OF per cent OF the total II
the district.

ILLINOIS UTILITIES BOARD MUST
ACT.

The new Illinois Utilities Board
when 1t Is appointed In January must
reduce telephone rates in Illinois the
first thing or It will become very un.
popular. Illinois Is the greatest VIC
tim of the phone monopoly in the
United States. The people are tired
Of being overcharged by it. Long dis.
lance service in this state Is almost
as bad as local service.
The Railroad Commission, of Cali.
fornia has been considering the ques.
ton Of long.distance telephone rates
and has issued an order for reductions
which will 60 into effect February IA.
It has made a change also In the mat.
ter of time. the use being extended
from one minute to two for the or.
binary charges.
It would be impossible to make ex.
act comparisons with the charges for
ng.distance service In this city with.
out complete statistics and explana.
tons, but taking the distances set
down In railroad time tables and re.
Numbering that the use here Is for
three minutes instead Of two the
reader may perhaps figure out COM
! parison for himself.
The rate from San Francisco to
Pal0 Alto, "a miles. was IS cents and
1t has been reduced to Is cents. The
rate from Chicago to Lake Forest, 20
miles, Is 20 cents, but the service is
longer and additional charges are 8
cents a minute.
The rate from San Francisco to
San Jose, so miles, has been reduced
from 40 to 20 cents. The rate from
Chicago to Kankakee, 81 miles, Is AZ
cents.
The rate from San Francisco to
Sacramento. 30 miles, has been re
duced from IS to 40 cents. From Chi
cago to Milwaukee, IS miles, 1t Is &c
cents. From San Francisco to SAINTS
Cruz, 70 miles. 1t has been reduced
from 80 cents to 80 cents.
Marysville Ia 142 miles from Sar
Francisco and the rate has been re
duced from 70 cents to 80 cents. Th'
rate from Chicago to Bloomington
139 miles, Is Is cents.
From San Francisco to Red Blum
225 miles, the reduction Is from 31.5'
to so cents. The rate from Chicago
to Springfield. 1872 miles, is 81.
The California figures for overtime
are lacking. They might go far to
ward equalizing apparent differences
In the charges. In the Chicago case
cited after Lake Forest the rate 70
an additional minute Is: To Kanka
kee, 10 cents; to Milwaukee, 10 cents
to Bloomington, % cents; to Spring
field, 80 cents.
The most interesting feature Of tn
showing Is undoubtedly the large pei
centage to be noted In the reduction
ordered by the California state board
In the case of Palo Alto 1t Is nearl
go per cent. In the case OF Vallejo
where the reduction Is from so to i
cents, 1t Is 20 per cent. Upon tn
rates taken as whole it is given a
81 per cent.
Chicago local rates, as everybod
knows, are higher than In any othe
big city in the world. The service
rotten and unsatisfactory and Is gel
ting worse every day.

CRoY DUCHESS mot EQUAL OF HUSBAND"

II is understood In royal circles that
this phraseology. which Is unusual In

When the duke Of Croy and Miss
