Underlying nearly all the streets in the central business section of Chicago are sixty miles of tunnels connecting the freight terminals of the railroads with commercial houses. The tunnels are provided with narrow gauge (2 ft.) electric railroads equipped with electric locomotives and steel cars. These are used chiefly in transporting goods to and from railroad freight yards and in carrying coal to business houses. Excavated and waste material from new buildings is removed through the tunnels and disposed of. permitting the work of construction to go on without interruption. In 1914 the Chicago Utilities company, which now owns the tunnel system, had in operation 117 electric motors and 3.000 coal. freight and other cars. In addition it had charge of some 24.000 telephones. The original franchise for the tunnel system was granted Feb. 20, 1899, to the Illinois Telephone and Telegraph company, which was organized in 1898 by A. G. Wheeler and associates for the purpose of establishing an inde a pendent telephone system. By an amendatory ordinance granted July 15, 1903, the company was given the right to construct and operate subway system for the transportation of mail matter, newspapers, packages and freight The tunnels are 19 feet below city generally. datum or 33 feet below the surface of the streets, the trunk line tunnels being limited in size to 12 feet 9 inches in width by 14 feet in height, and the smaller ones to 6 feet in Part of width and 7 feet 6 inches in height. the tunnel system was put into operation Aug. 15. 1906, but the whole of it was not in use until Sept. 1, 1907. The Illinois Telephone and Telegraph company was succeeded in October, 1903, by the Illinois Tunnel company, which was followed in November, 1904, by the Chiengo Subway company. The property of the Subway company and underlying concerns was acquired in April, 1912. by the Chicago Utilities company. the which anthorized capital stock of ig $53,000,000. 838 COURTS IN APPELLATE COURT, FIRST DISTRICT ILLINOIS.
