PLANS
For The New PGnnSy Station
In Chicago
Shows Cost Of Building To
Be $S,OOO,OOO
viii Give Employment To
10000 Men Three Years

Chicago, H., March 30-The long
protracted effort of the city council
and the Pennsylvania railroad to agree
on plans for n new terminal for that
and associated lines, seems nearing a
successful conclusion, The principal
opposition to the railroads plans has
come from the Chicago plan commits
sion, and this body has approved the
last offer made to the city council. II
is likely that the council will pass the
ordinance giving the permission to
build the terminal within short time
The new terminal will take the place
of the present old and inadequate "Un'
ion" station on the west side of the
Chicago riyer between Madison and
Adams streets.
The railroads estimate the total cost
at S65, 100000, of which amount ap-
proximately $15,O0O,OOO already has
been epended for the purchase of the
needed additional land, The estimated
cost Of the passenger station proper is
nearly 5000, 900, as compared with the
S70O0,OO0 expended on the station of
the Pennsylvania in New York, and
the se,OOO,OOO on the station proper in
Washington.

KEITH S
Son To Look After Theatres
Owned By His Father

The death of b. F. Keith will in no
way ahect the business direction OF
his great enterprises.
As result, the theatres bearing his
name viii continue, as at present, un-
der the direction OF his only son, A.
Paul Keith, and OF his general mana
ger, e. +, Albee, who have been as.
sociated with Keith vaudeville from
its Inception.
All the b, f. Keith enterprises of
every kind and description we're trans
ferred by him to his son and Mr..
Albce a few months ago. As far back
as 1906 Mr.. Keith withdrew from per-
sonal supervision OF the bookings,
Five years ago he began to withdraw
from the personal control of his busi-
ness affairs and turned the direction
OF his interest over TO A. Paul Keith

but the ordinance is not likely to pc
vetoed if passed, even though Mayor
Harrison is one of these.
The street improvements which the
railroads will pay for are itemized as
follows Monroe street visduct, $780,
600; Twelfth street viaduct, $4,000;
Congress street viaduct, 100000;
Fourteenth and Sixteenth streets via
ducts, $400,000 other viaducts at Tay-
lor Polk, Harrison Van Buren,, Jack
son, Adams, Madison, Randolph and
Lake streets, 81 100000; elevating the
tracks between the west and north
sides of the city s65O,OOO; revamping
Canal street $2,S75QOO.
TheToads win assume the burden of,
maintaining these viaducts because
they will have the use of the streets
beneath them. There are other streets
of which the roads will have perpetual
use and for these the city is to re-
ceive $3,372,000. About $760,000 of this
amount will be spent for widening Can
al street to width of 100 feet from
Washington to Twelfth. About $780,
O0e will be used for new bridge
across the river at Monroe street and
100000 will be used for new double
deck bridge at Kinzie street The rail-
roads will do this work and the cost
will be deducted from the compensa-
ton for the city, so that the city will
receive in cash approximately s1,511,-
600. The roads insist on the compen-
sation paid by them being used for
street improvements near the termln.
al and this plan was adopted to insure
such action.

MIR. DOWDS EXPLAINS
How The New Location For The Post
Office Was Secured

TO the Patrons of the Mt. Vernon
Post Office;
| wish TO explain why / came to
make proposal to the department to
rent them rooms for the post office,
as there seems TO be considerable mis-
understanding and probably some mis-
representation from interested parties.
About a year ago the department adj
vertised Tor bids for room to be
suitably equipped for post office, but
] made no bid at that time and / un-
derstand there was but one made, and
which did not seem TO meet with the
approval of the post office department,
partment, came to Mt. Vernon several
times looking for rooms. He looked
at the A. r. Sipe room that was being
remodeled but learned that it was al
ready leased TO Mr. Pitkin. He then
asked about the rooms occupied by
Mr. Pitkin and came to me and wanted
me to make proposal, but because
of the cost of equipment and the
changes that would be necessary to
make in the building and as Mr. Pit
kin had an option for two years from
the LIST Of April that was good until
the LIST OF March, ] did not do so until
he insisted that he was going to get
room some place else as neither the
present room nor equipment were suit.
able for the needs of the post office,
since they had parcel post and postal
savings departments, So that either
the last of January or the first OF Feb.
ruary ! obtained the release of Mr.,
pitkin's option and knowing the
rooms would be unoccupied after
April LIST, then made the department
a proposal which they accepted.
And While ! know with the present
condition of the rooms and the street
it will not strike the public as de.
sirable laction, but If they will suspend
judgment until the rooms are remodel
ed and the equipment installed, which
will be mahogany finished steel fix
lures which think will be the equal
of any bank fixtures in the town, and
hope the street will soon be paved
/ feel sure that all will be pleased
with the change and the Improvement
for the town, except those who from
some personal reasons have an inter
est in other locations. Just as soon
as the building is completed and
equipped for occupancy a day will be
set for public reception.
Thanking the public for their con-
sideration of this statement and the
papers for printing the same, am
yours respectfully,

1t is also stated that the construc.
ton of the new terminal will give en-
ployment to about 10000 men for a
period of more than three years, and
that at certain periods there will be
from $4,000 to $4,000 men employed
on the work.
The buildings contemplated will con.
tain 4S,000,O00 cubic feet Of space
equal to four of the largest Office build
ings in the city. The estimates call
for approximately 10000 tons of steel
for use in the buildings. viaducts,
street widening, and other parts of the
project. The concrete structure will
amount to 100000 cubic feet and will
cost approximately $1,OO0,O0O,
The train sheds will cover $4,000
square feet, equivalent to 10 acres. UA-
der these sheds and near them there
will be 90 miles of track reconstructed,
rearranged, or entirely new. Includ-
ing the viaduct space there will be t6
acres of street space made over"
The general waiting room will have
a floor space of 81 900 square feet, as
compared with the $4,000 square feet
of the South station in Boston, the 20
500 feet in the Pennsylvania's New
York station, the 10000 feet in the
New York Centrals station in New
York, and the $4,000 feet in the Wash
ington station.
The waiting rooms in Washington
and in Leipsic are the only ones which
are larger. The Northwestern station
in Chicago has $4,000 feet of space In
the general waiting room.
The city OF Chicago will. receive
from the railroads street improve
ments which the roads estimate will
cost $780, 900, and in addition a gross
compensation of s3,372,O 900, a total of
$9,227,00O. The city win give the right
to build the terminal the vacating or
use of large amount of street space
bridge and street improvements at an
estimated cost of $1,S76,75S. The gen.
eral opinion is that Chicago has made
much better trade with the railroads
than did New York or Washington.
There are some who say even more
benefit to the city should be obtained. |
