HOW TRACTION COMMITTEE
HOPE TO GET RESULTS

Every person who boards a street
car or elevated train will within the
next few days be handed a yellow
slip of paper and be asked to write
down when and where he or she
boarded the car and is going and by
what route. This is part of the work
the newly-appOinted traction COM
mittee is doing. It is hoped to get re
plies from at least 81 per cent of the
passengers as was done in Detroit.
Chicago's 100000 people take
4,O5O,OOO rides a day. Of these,
100000 are original rides and
1,740,000 are transfer rides.
By getting a census of these pas
sengeTs, the committee hopes to get
a line on what new lines, additional
transfer points and 'rerouting will
most expedite the handling of the
street car and 81" traffic.
