Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Street Railway Question in Chicago Meanwhile a question had been raised as to the legal authority of the city council to grant such a franchise. To settle these doubts and to incorporate the grantees, a special act of the Illinois legislature was passed on February 16, 1859, incorporating the grantees under the city ordinance as the Chicago City Railway Company, for a period of twenty-five years, and authorizing the construction and operation of street railways upon terms and conditions provided by the common council. Authority was also given to extend the lines to any part of Cook County, by the exercise of the power of eminent domain, or with the assent of the supervisor of any township for laying tracks in the highways. The same powers were granted to an other group of individuals, as the North Chicago City x Railway Company, for the north division of the city and county.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chicago Street Railways In the organisation of a municipal street railway department a very great deal depends on the arrangements that are made for the selection and training of conductors and motormen, and also on the standard of efficiency that is set up and maintained. From the separate print which I send you, you will get full details as to our methods of selection and training in Glasgow. The system we have adopted is working admirably. It will very likely be necessary for you at the outset to begin operations with men who have had experience in street railway work, but very soon your General Manager will find it to be to your advantage to engage young men and train them himself. We in Glasgow rarely engage a man who has been in street railway work before, and we have made it a rule never to reengage a man who has been in our service. A strict medical examination you will find to be absolutely necessary, and, as you will find no difficulty in obtaining applications from suitable young men, you will be able to fix the standard very high. We engage all our men on the understanding that, after serving for a few months conducting a car, they must, when asked, go through the motor school and learn to drive a car. If a man fails to qualify as a motorman, he has to leave the service. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Street Railroad Situation in Chicago It is the aim of this pamphlet to give the public a little easily understood information on the street railroad situation in Chicago. This publication is not intended to be a plea for consideration to be shown to the street railroad companies at the hands of the people and city, nor is it intended to give reasons why liberal treatment is deserved by the car lines. It is merely designed to enlighten, on one of the important questions of the city's welfare, those persons who are enough interested to read it. It is an explanation, therefore, and not an argument. It is a simple statement of fact. With a reasonable understanding on the part of the people of the circumstances of the case, the street railroad companies of this city are perfectly content to let the public decide what is fair to be done.

This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rail-Roads, History and Commerce of Chicago The whole country between the two rivers is not only all susceptible of cultivation, but a large portion of it is too rich to grow wheat successfully. Corn, hemp and tobacco are the principal staples. Mr. McAlpine says it is one of the best timbered portions of the Mississippi Valley. At no place is the road more than four miles from fine groves, which, with the fertile lands and delightful climate, make it peculiarly inviting to settlers. The soil is a rich loam, resting on a substratum of clay. The prevailing rock is limestone. The road is all under contract, and is to be finished by two years from the first of May. Messrs. Duff & Larned are the contractors. They are gentlemen of large experience, and are in all respects able to fill their contracts by the time specified. Twenty-five miles at each end of the road is to be completed and in operation during the present season; and the entire line is to be completed by the first of July, 1865. Chicago has a large interest in the construction of this road. We shall have two lines connecting with it either at Hannibal or Quincy, and perhaps at both of these points. The Aurora and Central Military Tract, and the Peoria and Hannibal Railroads will both be finished by the tune the Hannibal and St. Joseph's road is in operation. We shall receive a large trade from Northern Missouri as soon as we have a direct railroad connection with that fertile region. Although this road lies at a considerable distance south of this city, the result will show that it may justly be regarded as a part of that great system which has its centre here. No better example can be given of the rapidity and energy with which great enterprises are pushed forward to completion at the West, than the Chicago and Rock Island Railroad. Its progress seems more like the wonders of magic than a plain matter of fact reality. It was commenced on the 10th of April, 1852, and opened to Joliet forty miles, on the 18th of October, in the same year; to Morris, sixty-one miles, Jan. 5th, 1853 to Ottawa, eighty-three miles, Feb. 14th; to La Salle, ninety-eight miles, March 10th; to Peru ninety-nine miles, March 21st; to Tiskilwa, one hundred and twenty-two miles, Sept. 12th; to Sheffield, one hundred and thirty-six miles, Oct. 12th; to Geneseo, one hundred and fifty-eight miles, Dec. 19th - all during the last year. It was completed and opened to Rock Island, one hundred and eighty-one miles, on the 22d of February, 1854; being the first continuous line of railroad to reach the Mississippi from Lake Michigan. The city of Alton was reached about the first of October last; but three different roads had to be passed over in order that the iron horse might renew his strength from the great artery of the Western Continent. Think of this, ye ancient worthies, who, some fifteen years ago, would have required as many years to build the same number of miles of railroad! One hundred miles of the line was built, stocked, and in running order in less than a year; and the whole distance to the Mississippi, one hundred and eighty-one miles, was finished, and the road was in operation, in twenty-two and a half months! This simple statement speaks volumes for the intelligence, energy and business capacity of the contractors, Messrs. Sheffield & Farnam. It is one of the proudest monuments they could possibly have to their memory; and it will confer blessings innumerable upon the people of this city and those whose fertile fields lie along the line of the road for all time to come. We almost envy them the satisfaction which the accomplishment of so great a work in so short a period must afford them. The location of the road is peculiarly favorable for business. For the first hundred miles, it follows down the valley of the Illinois and its tributaries, through the flourishing towns and cities of Joliet, Morris and Ottawa, drawing the trade of

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Street Railways of Chicago, 1901: Report of the Civic Federation of Chicago To the Civic Federation of Chicago: Your committee appointed to conduct an examination of the true financial condition of the Street Railways of Chicago, so far as the same is shown by the books of account and corporate records of the various street railway companies, beg leave to report: Immediately upon their appointment, your committee took up and pressed the negotiations then pending to obtain access to the corporate records and books of account, with the result that Mr. Edmund F. Bard, an expert accountant of this city, was employed to make the examination, the details of which are embodied in his report herewith submitted. The report speaks for itself and bears evidence of the ability and fidelity with which the work was done. This examination could not have been had without the consent and active co-operation of the street railway companies themselves, and full recognition is given to the courtesies extended and the service thus rendered by their officials to your committee, the Civic Federation and the public generally. The question of compensation for franchises must necessarily turn on some plan of profit sharing, for it is only the excess of profit remaining after payment of all proper operating and maintenance charges, together with reasonable returns on the investment, which can justly be demanded by the public. The first question is, therefore, what is the amount of actual profit. This preliminary investigation is the one to which your committee has addressed itself. We believe no similar publication of facts has ever been made, for the reason that never before have street railway books been opened to a similar investigation.
