This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Opportunity of Chicago to Become a Great City, 1901-1903: A Discussion of the Traction Question The proper solution of this problem will contribute enormously toward the solution of all other similar problems. It will in so far teach the corporations once for all that their only hope of doing business with the city is to offer adequate and honest service for a rea sonable price. It will turn their attention from corrupt deals with political managers to an honest attempt to give the public the very best service for the very low est price, and thus transfer this whole branch of mod ern enterprise from politics, where it should not be, to business, where it belongs. The gas question, the electric lighting question, and every other similar problem will enter a new and higher phase if this street car question is correctly solved. Nay, an entirely new era will be opened in every other branch of public administration-the instant it is made plain by our method of solving this problem and by the results we may obtain, that the public service corporation has been retired from the field of illegitimate politics. No other great American city, and but few foreign cities of equal size, have had any such opportunity as has come to Chicago. Will it prove equal to the occasion?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Social Evil in Chicago: A Study of Exciting Conditions With Recommendations by the Vice Commission of Chicago On January 31st, 1910, a meeting was held at the Central Y. M. C. A. Building, Chicago, by the Church Federation composed of Clergy representing six hundred congregations in Chicago. The topic for discussion was the Social Evil Problem in Chicago, and Dean Sumner was invited to read a paper on the subject. At its conclusion he presented the following resolution: "Resolved, that the Mayor of the City of Chicago be asked to appoint a Commission made up of men and women who command the respect and confidence of the public at large, this Commission to investigate thoroughly the conditions as they exist. With this knowledge obtained, let it map out such a course, as in its judgment, will bring about some relief from the frightful conditions which surround us. Taking this report as a basis, let us enlist the support of every civic, protective, philanthropic, social, commercial and religious body in the city to carry out the plans suggested. If the present administration feels that it cannot subscribe to such a plan, make the report the basis of a pledge from the political parties at the next election and make it the basis for an election issue. But first get the plan. The city press will be back of any sane movement to improve present conditions. The Church certainly is. Social settlements have been agitating and endeavoring to reach some decision. The general public is in a mood to listen to such conclusions as such a Commission would reach." This resolution was unanimously adopted and a committee from the Federation of Churches was appointed to call upon the Mayor, and present it to him for his consideration. This committee was composed of the following named gentlemen: Prof. Herbert L. Willett, University of Chicago; Rev. J. A. Vance, Pastor of the Hyde Park Presbyterian Church; Rev. Smith T. Ford, Pastor of the Englewood Baptist Church, and President of the Church Federation Council; Rev. Frank D. Burhans, Pastor of the Washington Park Congregational Church, and Vice-President of the Church Federation Council. Prof. Benjamin L. Hobson, Secretary of The McCormick Theological Seminary.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chicago City Manual: 1913 "I cannot see any rational or logical ground for the mighty difference in the value which mankind generally set upon the past and future, as if the one was everything, and the other nothing, of no consequence whatever. On the other hand, I conceive that the past is as real and substantial a part of our being, that it is as much a bona fide, undeniable consideration in the estimate of human life, as the future can possibly be. To say that the past is of no importance, unworthy of a moment's regard, because it has gone by, and is no longer anything, is an argument that cannot be held to any purpose: for if the past has ceased to be, and is therefore to be accounted as nothing in the scale of good or evil, the future is yet to come, and has never been anything. Should any one choose to assert that the present only is of any value in a strict and positive sense, because that alone has a real existence, that we should seize the instant good, and give all else to the winds, I can understand what he means; but I cannot comprehend how this distinction between that which has a downright and sensible, and that which has a downright and sensible, and that which has only a remote and airy existence, can be applied to establish the preference of the future over the past; for both are in this point of view equally ideal, absolutely nothing, except as they are conceived of by the mind's eye, and are thus rendered present to the thoughts and feelings. Nay, the one is even more imaginary, a more fantastic creature of the brain than the other, and the interest we take in it more shadowry and gratuitous; for the future, on which we lay so much stress, may never come to pass at all, that is, may never be embodied into actual existence once, has received the stamp of truth, and left an image of itself behind. It is not, however, attempted to be denied that though the future is nothing at present, and has no immediate interest while we are speaking, yet it is of the utmost consequence in itself, and of the utmost interest to the individual, because it will have a real existence, and we have an idea of it as existing in time to come. Well, then, the past also has no real existence; the actual sensation and the interest belonging to it are both fled; but it has had a real existence, and we can still call up a vivid recollection of it as having once been."

Download or read book Chicago written by Harold M. Mayer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-04-28 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chicago: City of Decisions Chicago is located at the southwesternmost penetration of the Great Lakes into the rich and productive agricultural heart of America. Lake transport played a role in the settlement of city and region. It is important today for, movement of goods into or out of its hinterland or for assembly of bulky raw materials for manufacturing, as in the steel industry. The Great Lakes also affected the rise of Chicago to its equally significant position as the greatest railroad center in the world. Rail lines from the west focused on Chicago as the nearest point of water transport. Rail lines between the Northeast and the Northwest are compressed by the barrier of Lake Michigan into a band around the southern end of the lake. These lines funnel into Chicago. Based on the strategic position for transporta tion, Chicago has developed as a thriving commercial, cultural, and indus trial metropolis. But the nature of this growth depended in large part on the vision and industry of its leaders. Professor Mayer tells the story of five critical decisions of the past that have made Chicago what it is today. He also clarifies the nature of three decisions now facing the citizens of the city; the actions on these decisions will influence the type and quality of the city tomorrow.
