CITY COUNCIL MEETS TODAY TO
CONSIDER SUBWAY BOARD
A special meeting of the city coun-
Gil will be held this afternoon to con-
slider the passage of an ordinance
creating a subway board. 1t provides
$4,000 to be split between three en-
gineers and then grants practically
an unlimited amount of cash for the
investigation, which comes out of the
city's traction fund.
Opposition is expected. Many of
the aldermen do not favor subways.
They see in the creation of this board
plan to recognize the watered stock
of the street car and 81" lines. They
say that if the cars were through
routed correctly Chicago wouldn't
need subways.
The crux Of the fight will be on the
appointment of Bion ]. Arnold to the
board. Arnold's record in traction
matters has been anything but favor
able to the interest of the people of
Chicago. He has pulled out of the
city treasury more than 100000 for
his services and in return has given
to Chicago straphanger service which
calculates every inch of standing
room before putting on an extra car.
William Barclay Parsons of New
York is another engineer. He is the
man who planned the first New York
subway which was destined to give
inade0uate service before it was
opened. Parsons has been solving
New York's transportation problem
ever since.
Robert Ridgway of New York is the
third engineer. He has worked for
municipalities the greater part of
his life and no one has objected to-
him as yet.
