Book excerpt: Excerpt from The North Chicago Street Railroad Company and Its Lines, 1889 In this connection it is probably worth while to show what has been the effect of the cable road on values: Godfrey Schmid a large property owner, writes: Everybody knows that property on the North Side has risen in value since the cable lines were built, some of it 50 per cent., and I am sure none of it has been damaged. Continuing, he adds: It (the cable) has been a decided advantage to the residents and property owners, the daily M108 to the contrary notwithstanding. E. S. Dreyer Co. Write that renting on the North Side is better this year than ever before. If if The value of real estate has considerably increased, compared with prices two or three years ago, and the improvements and new buildings erected in the last two years eclipse those of any time prior to the inaug uration of the cable system. A. Loeb Son say in a letter that'the cable system has been advantageous to real estate' on the North Side. W. D. Kerfoot Co. Write We have been selling for the past few years a great deal of property in the southern portion of Lake View, and find by comparing the sales made two years ago with those made recently that prices have ad vanced fully 100 per cent. Turner Co. Also bear testimony to the benefits of the cable system and its good effect 011 property. Dozens of other letters of the same character from real estate dealers, owners and agents could be quoted, but these are sufficient to expose the evil spirit which has prompted the M108 in its as saults upon North Side interests, and at the same time are an an swer to its libels. It has had nothing akin to the milk of human kindness in its policy toward this company, for even when the strike was on it encouraged the strikers, and did all it could to embarrass the situation and prolong the inconvenience to the public of being deprived of transit facilities. Its highest ambition at all times has been that it continue consistent in its warfare. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
