The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1916-08-17


commission now working for the
people of Chicago at salaries and
wages Of $1,000 a day brings in a
report next November that report
will probably take a stand against
city-wide subways.
In so doing it will be going
straight against the advice of
Mayor Thompson, Pres. Mike FaheT-
ty of the local improvements board,
the Hearst papers and the Journal.
Everything looks, now, however,
as though the commission will say
some fine common sense things
about sUbways. All the arguments
for better health, more comfort and
the sanitation of sunshine trans
portation" will be stated by the COM
mission, it is predicted. Or putting
it another way, an, authorized COM
mission of Uppety-gp experts will
hand out the same sort of common
sense which the Greater Chicago
Federation and. certain citizens and
aldermen have been preaching for
years.
Aid. Henry D. Captain, chairman
council transportation committee,
gave an interview to The Day Book
Coming from Captain, it means
much. Captain has never in his ca
reer as an alderman taken any
stand against the street car COM
panies. He is known for his close
cooperation with traction officials.
That he, should declare himself as he
does in the following paragraphs
means powerful influences are
against city-wide subways. Notice
the fine common sense of Aid. Cap
itain:
Mile for mile it costs about twice
as much to build subways as elevated
roads. In a congested island terri
tory like New York City there is
some excuse for subways. But a
prairie city like Chicago, with plenty
