O'CONNELl after Il"
Chairman of the State Public Util-
tiles Commission Orders In
vestigation of Many
Complaints.


IL" service in Chicago is rotten"
according to many complaints.
The State Public Utilities commits.
sion on its own motion has for more
than week been making an investi.
CATION OF overcrowding of elevated
trains.
Inspectors have been sent out sc.
cretly and without the knowledge Of
the elevated companies to bring In
first hand information.
The investigation was ordered by
Chairman william l.. O'COnnell after
numerous informal complaints had
been made that conditions on the
elevated are getting intolerable." Mr..
O'Connell received numerous tele.
phone calls from elevated patrons,
who said the service, especially In
evening rush hours and around mid.
night, was becoming progressively
worse. In the opinion Of Mr.. O'C0n.
nell the jurisdiction Of the commits.
sion In the case Of the elevated rail.
ways IL unquestiOnable.
The object Of the present inquiry.
he explained, il not simply to issue
orders to compel the companies to
provide more seats, but also to con.
duct a thorough investigation to de.
termine whether inefficient operation
may not partly be to blame. Engi.
neers for the commission will study
the problem, and the cooperation Of
the companies will be sought AZ far
as possible.
The inspectors have been instructed
to discover how long people have to
wait on the platforms and how many
people are crowded into the trains.
When the results are compiled the
officers Of the companies will be asked
to present their side of the case.
II have received numerous com.
plants from people who say that the
tanning and packing Of people into
the trains is becoming int0lerable."
Mr.. O'Connell said. "They say the
trains sometimes run 10 to Is minutes
apart and consequently are always
packed to the doors. The chief com.
plant seems to be about the evening
rush hours. We are going to try to
iron out some plan to improve condi'
tions."
