FIGHT SUBWAY PLANS
The Hearst-Harrison comprehen-
siVe oompa-oompa subway and the
Tribune-News >dinky subway are
wrong moves at this time, according
to twenty business mems organiza-
tons who went on record yesterday.
The Cook county real estate board
called a meeting and practically all
the retail business interests in the
city outside the loop were repre-
scented.
Arend Van Vlissingen, a real es-
tate man, said that Chicago has no
right to give a cheap imitation of
New York or Boston. Chicago is a
prairie city with unlimited land
around it and room to grow" he said.
1.-THE main hackers of subways now
are politicians and loop business in
terests. They will never solve the |
transportation problem by building
roads to carry more crowds and pour |
more people than ever into the al |
ready packed and jammed loop dis
trict.
Subway advocates ought to point |
out in their arguments that New |
York has not by any means relieved |
congestion with its tunnels. At the |
subway stations in New York, there |
is today the same kind of pushing, |
scrambEng and indecency that we |
have on the elevated and surface |
lines here. New York has proved
that the number of subways increase
congestion at terminal points. In the
subways proposed for Chicago, the
chief terminal points are all in the
loop H.
Samuel Dauchy, chairman of the
City Club transportation Commit
tee, was quoted as saying that
through routing on both 'L'' and sur
face lines has not yet been put into
operation properly.
