Sinopsis

Excerpt from Report on the Engineering and Operating Features of the Chicago Transportation Problem: Submitted to the Committee on Local Transportation of the Chicago City Council by Bion Joseph Arnold, M.S., M. Ph., E. E., Chicago, November, 1902

Chicago, with respect to transportation as well as other things, should be regarded as one city, not three. Divi sio'nal lines ought to be obliterated, as far as possible. A street car passenger should be carried over the most direct route between any two points within the city limits for a single fare. Complete unification of ownership and man agement is the best plan for realizing the one-city-one Fare idea. The same end can be accomplished, however, but in a less satisfactory manner, under divisional owner ship, by a plan of through routing of cars, joint use of tracks and interchangeable transfers. To a still less satis factory 'degree the same end can be accomplished by the interchange of transfers between companies without joint use of tracks.
