THAT CLARK TAX AND THE MICHIGAN AVENUE TRUST
Gossip ranks the Clark tax case and a Michigan Avenue Trust as issuing from Wallace G Clark and J Milton Trainer. The piece details a 1913 trust for property at Michigan Avenue and Washington Street with a 20 year term after heirs, critiques the board of assessors, and accuses graft in water meters oiling roads and other public works. It notes Clark and Trainer as trustees and mocks officials including State Attorney Hoyne while listing numerous oiling projects across Chicago streets. The tone combines political scandal with speculation about beneficiaries and property control.
