City Wall Items and a Parade of Chicago Citizens
A column extols Western Electric efforts to control the Drainage Canal and remove street nuisances on South Water Street. It lists numerous respected Chicago figures—judges, lawyers, aldermen, and business leaders—lauding their citizenship and public service. It notes a water famine relief project in Washington Heights and reports on Clarence Darrow’s legal efforts to advance traction solutions. It closes with a whiskey plug amid a lengthy roster of notable residents.
