ICC postpones ruling on New York Central South Chicago ticket agency
The Illinois Commerce Commission delayed deciding whether to close the New York Central ticket office at South Chicago station until September 6. Attorney Patrick J. Allman said figures showed a company wide loss rather than station specific losses and questioned usage numbers, while stressing a fair process under ICC rules. The plan would move ticketing to LaSalle street or on train with a station closure at street level, leaving train service and waiting areas intact.

Slums Grow Faster Than Are Cleared In Chicago Plan
David Zisook, hired by the neighborhood redevelopment commission, says area wide rehabilitation in Hyde Park Kenwood is not economical unless part of a total plan. He notes new slums form faster than old ones are cleared and that coordinated planning could address middle income housing.
