Excerpt: ...spite of this lack of revenue the administration, it was declared, did its best to conduct city affairs in a creditable, satisfactory and efficient manner, and succeeded. The stock yards canal, the west fork of the South branch and south fork of the South branch were stated to be a menace to the health in that locality. The construction of the conduit at Thirty-ninth street was intended to purify those branches and its completion was urged. Much to divert the sewage from the lake was done. The early completion of the sanitary canal would still further purify the lake and the river branches. All departments of the city hall were subjected during 1898 to thorough inquiry, particularly as to their bookkeeping methods. Great improvements were introduced. The police justices were allowed fixed salaries and the fees were turned into the city treasury. The water office, which had been a prolific source of scandals, was thoroughly investigated, inundated and washed. The crude system of accounts and the unsystematic conduct there were entirely changed and reestablished upon better and more modern lines. The water rates were reduced and the revenues increased. Every assessment made back to 1872 was thoroughly examined. During 1898 there was organized a special department to manage the electric interests of the city. This was followed by a reduction in expenses and by better service in the light, fire alarm telegraph and police telephone systems. The City Council appropriated during the year $150,000 for the extension of the electric light system. The police force numbered 2,675. The steel fireboat "Illinois" was purchased by the city and placed in service at a cost of $70,000. In 1897 the department of supplies was created and put in operation. By...

Download or read book The Irish in Illinois written by Mathieu W. Billings and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2021-03-04 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first statewide history of the Irish in the Prairie State Today over a million people in Illinois claim Irish ancestry and celebrate their love for Ireland. In this concise narrative history, authors Mathieu W. Billings and Sean Farrell bring together both familiar and unheralded stories of the Irish in Illinois, highlighting the critical roles these immigrants and their descendants played in the settlement and the making of the Prairie State. Short biographies and twenty-eight photographs vividly illustrate the significance and diversity of Irish contributions to Illinois. Billings and Farrell remind us of the countless ways Irish men and women have shaped the history and culture of the state. They fought in the French and Indian War, the American Revolution, the Civil War, and two world wars; built the state’s infrastructure and worked in its factories; taught Illinois children and served the poor. Irish political leaders helped to draw up the state’s first constitution, served in city, county, and state offices, and created a machine that dominated twentieth-century politics in Chicago and the state. This lively history adds to our understanding of the history of the Irish in the state over the past two hundred fifty years. Illinoisans and Midwesterners celebrating their connections to Ireland will treasure this rich and important account of the state’s history.
