Of Importance to Chicago today. The
colored population is estimated at
between 10000 and $4,000. The
''black belt" is rapidly widening. Ne
groes have a "city within a city"
Considered of most Importance in
connection with the situation is the
residence problem. The negro dis

driven from other parts of the city
by Cleanup" orders. Negro boys
and girls are brought up in the
midst of immortality. Bawdy houses,

agents. of destruction have become
established in the negro district. OF
strange connection is the fact that
1877 years ago Jean Baptise Point De
Sable, a Santo Domingo free negro,
built the first house on the shores of
Lake Michigan where Chicago now
spreads out over a territory of 1913
square miles.
