Chicago Brundage Sees $14.6 Million Loss If Rookery Lease Stands
Chicago Corporation Counsel Brundage aims to void the 99 year Rookery lease to Central Safety Deposit Co at La Salle and Adams. He argues the city lacks power for such a long term and would pay taxes on property that should be tax exempt. The suit targets officials and stockholders of the lessee and cites irregularities in the grant.

Chicago Dry Fight The City Faces Eight Million Revenue Loss
Alderman Cermak introduced a resolution urging the city to study how Chicago would cope financially if voters approve anti saloon measures in the April election. The council passed the resolution as officials warn of an $8,000,000 annual revenue drop from saloon licenses and related taxes. Experts estimate substantial cuts to police, fire, and pension funds unless new funding is found.

Chicago plans renumbering for east side downtown streets
Alderman Jacob A. Hey and John D. Riley say a street numbering reform for the river and lake district north of 12th Street will align downtown with the rest of Chicago. The plan, still under discussion, prefixes crossings with eastern streets and marks North Dearborn and East Madison, aiming for a uniform system within months.
