CHICAGO PLAN COMMISSION.

The South Water street widening and twolevel development, connecting with Michigan

avenue.

The widening of Polk, Taylor, Clinton, Jefferson and Desplaines streets in the district be tween the river, Halsted street, Harrison street and Roosevelt road.

The Chicago Plan Commission was created The extension of Ogden avenue from Union by the city council Nov. 1, 1909. Its member-park to Lincoln park. ship of 328 consists of the mayor. the heads of the various city departments, chairmen of council committees, chiefs of various governmental bodies and the entire city council (ex officio), with the remainder of the personnel composed of citizens from every section of Chicago and representing every interest in the city's municipal life. Appointments to the commission are made by the mayor and confirmed by the city council. The commission is permanent, nonpolitical. nonpartisan, nonsectarian and nonsectional. It is truly representative of the entire city and every element in it.

Mayor William E. Dever is president ex officio, Charles H. Wacker is chairman, Frank I. Bennett is vice-chairman and its headquarters in the Hotel Sherman (room F. phone Franklin 2120) are in charge of E. S. Taylor, manager.

The Chicago Plan Commission was appointed for the purpose of studying the Plan of Chicago created by Daniel Hudson Burnham and E. H. Bennett under the direction of the Commercial club of Chicago,

In 1909 the Commercial club presented the plan to the city as a gift. The Plan of Chicago is an all-Chicago plan. It proposes 200 miles of street widenings, extensions and improvements; a remodeling of the passenger and freight railroad and terminal facilities; the creation of adequate harbors; rehabilitation of the transportation system; the park and harbor development along the shore of Lake Michigan; the establishment of an adequate new postoffice on the west side between the Northwestern and Union stations, where 62 per cent of all the mail of Chicago is handled. and the creation of a system of approximately 35.000 acres of forest preserves north, west and south of Chicago.

The widening of 22d street.

The opening of Kimball avenue.

The acquisition of 28,415 acres of forest preserves by the forest preserve commission. The improvement of the outer highway system.

The plan commission has issued a list of eighty-seven street improvements that have been suggested for early realization. Principal among these are the LaSalle street widening; the Avondale avenue improvement; the Pershing road (39th street) improvement from Lake Michigan to the forest preserves at river between Polk and 18th streets and the Riverside; the straightening of the Chicago opening of Market, Wells. Franklin, LaSalle and Dearborn streets through the area now absorbed by railroads south to connect with Archer avenue, the great southwest diagonal artery: the creation of an outer circuit of streets from Lake Michigan on the north via Peterson and Rogers avenues and the line of the old Indian boundary, southwest to the forest preserves along the Des Plaines river and returning again to Lake Michigan by 134th street, and the widening, opening, extending or improvement of section, half section and diagonal streets, especially in outlying sections.

The latest undertaken plan of the plan commission is the preparation of two street maps. One is to outline a system of "through streets" for temporary relief; the other is a major street plan for the improvement of the entire thoroughfare system of Chicago and vicinity, to be presented to the city for adoption as the official street plan of Chicago.

The aim of the Chicago Plan Commission is twofold: First. to assure, maintain and develop the commercial prestige of the city, and.

The fifteen years' work of the Chicago Plan Commission has resulted in assuring fifteen of the major features of the entire plan. These are either constructed or advanced in court or city procedure to the point where their realization is assured, pub-second, to provide humanitarian benefits for lic bonds having been voted where necessary. These projects include:

The Roosevelt road (12th street) widening and extension.

The Michigan avenue widening and extension. The west side passenger and freight terminal plans, including widening the Polk and Taylor street viaducts; widening Canal street between Roosevelt road and Washington street and extending it via the two-level Kinzie street bridge to Orleans street, connecting with the north side and also with the FranklinOrleans street bridge; and the Monroe street bridge.

The south shore lake front plans, including the completion of Grant park, the extension of the Roosevelt road (12th street) viaduct to the Field Museum of Natural History, the widening of Indiana avenue; construction of the parkways to the southward and the South Park avenue widening and extension northward to Randolph street, making possible an outer drive connection between Grant park and the Lake Shore drive at the foot of the municipal pier, which project has already been considered favorably by the Lincoln and south park boards.

The Illinois Central railroad terminal rehabilitation and electrification.

The widening of Western avenue.

The widening and opening of Ashland avenue.
The widening and opening of Robey street.

all its citizens. Surrounding cities are competing for the business that now comes to Chicago and if Chicago is to maintain its com mercial standing among American cities it must carry out the economic projects in the Chicago plan. By making it easier and cheaper to transact business, by supplying direct and easy means of communication between the several sections of the city, and by providing ample recreational facilities. the wealth. the health and happiness of every one in Chicago will be safeguarded and constantly increased Especially is this true in view of the enor mous revenue that will be attracted to Chicago through the carrying out of Chicago plan projects, because both people and business will be drawn to Chicago thereby.

The Chicago Plan Commission is working in harmony with every organization in Chicago It gives illustrated lectures before clubs, societies, etc., and upon application at its headquarters literature can be secured covering the various features of its work in endeavoring to make Chicago the best most orderly, healthful, convenient and attractive city in America.
