Civic Tragedy in Chicago Public Works Plans Spark Outrage
A Chicago columnist condemns two recent public decisions. The Illinois Supreme Court approves eighty acres on the lake shore for a large water filtration plant and a Chicago Park District vote allows fifty acres of Burnham Park for a Municipal convention hall. The writer argues slum-area placement and inland sites would curb decay and traffic chaos, criticizing the Chicago Plan Commission and Housing Authority for blight, urging major urban rehabilitation. The piece labels officials' choices as tragic and incomprehensible.
