CHICAGO HAS UNIQUE
SYSTEM OF SUBWAYS

CHICAGO. Dec. 29.-(A P.)--
Forty feet underground Chicago has
one Of the most unique subway sys-
tens in the world Devoted entirely
TO the hauling of freight, 1t keeps the
lcongested loop district comparative
~ free Of heavy traffic vehicles. Of
ficals OF the tunnel company esti-
mate more than 5000 trucks would
ahave to pass through loop streets dai
Il ly to duplic1+s the work done by the
subway.
over 50 miles of narrow gauge
track, 1872 electric locomotives and
/ 5000 freight cars hauled 100000
tons OF merchandise and 100000 tons
of coal last year
Freight Via Subway.
Scores Of downtown office build
ings and stores receive their freight
direct from the railroad depots via
the subway. Their coal comes by
the same route, and at night the ashes
are hauled away through the under
ground tunnels to be dumped on the
lake front, where acres of land are
reclaimed yearly. The ground on
which the great new Field Museum, at
the south end Of Grant Park, is built,
was few years ago a part Of the
lake. The tunnel company filled 1t
in with ashes.
Another unusual service is the re-
moval of dirt from building eKcaya-
tions. A shaft is sunk from the build
ling site TO the tunnel level under the
street Workmen with wheel barrows
dump the dirt down the shaft. where
it falls into cars of a waiting train,
to be hauled to the lake front disposal
station.
Elevators Lift Cars.
For handling merchandise. coal
and ashes. electric elevators lift the
subway cars from the tunnel level to
stores and office buildings where they
are emptied and refilled. and then
lowered again to the tracks below.
The subway tracks underlay every
street in the loop district covering a
district % blocks long and nine
blocks wide, and in addition the net
work of tunnels extends north under
the river to the warehouse and rail-
road district along North Water
street, and west Of the south branch
of the river for six blocks through
the railroad and factory district of
the near west side.
-Four main receiving stations out
side of the loop gather incoming
for delivery to down
town buildings, and distribute outgo-
ing packages for truck hauls to other
parts of the city.
