L162 CHICAGO CITY MANUAL 1909 CONTAINING The Names and Official Addresses of the Executive and All Other City Officers with Descriptions of Their Functions Lists of the Aldermen and of the Committees of the City Council and the Rules Governing That Body And Many Other Matters Relating to the City and Its Institutions Prepared by FRANCIS A.EASTMAN City Statistician CHICAGO: BUREAU OF STATISTICS AND MUNICIPAL LIBRARY 1909 nrir^ THE FRONTISPIECE. ^ The half-tone picture on the opposite page, gives a perfect view of the site of the City Hall as prepared by the contractors on the foundations and as turned over by them to the contractors for the super- structure. A few words of description will inform the reader of what has been placed below the surface of the site to support the enormous weight of the building when that is completed. From the records in the possession of Alderman Francis W. Taylor, Chairman of the City Hall building Committee, it appears that the wrecking of the old City Hall was commenced on August 11, 1908, and that work on the new foundations was begun on January 4, 1909. In this latter month 733 men were employed, in three shifts, thus car- rying on the work day and night. So far as possible the stone in the old building was crushed on the spot and utilized in the manufacture of concrete. As fast as spaces were cleared the excavating for caissons was started. In the frontispiece are seen tent-like indications of where the caissons are placed. Every day these marks were changed as the work advanced, as may be seen on the series of blue prints furnished, one each day, by the contractors to the Board of Public Works and to Chairman Taylor. The tent or cap of the completed caisson shows a bar directly across it. There are 124 caissons in all, their diameters varying from four and one-half feet to eleven feet. The reason of this variation is, the different weights that will have to be supported by them. Where the lightest weight will be, of course the caissons will have the least diameter, and where the heaviest weight, the caissons will have the greatest diameter. There is an average of 8,000 cubic feet of concrete to each of these supports, which are of the average depth of one hundred and fourteen feet and six inches below the city datum. In a number of instances, where it was uncertain whether the bed rock, and not a boulder, was struck, the excavating was carried eight and a half feet further. An idea as to the combined extent of these works may be had, when it is stated that were the caissons placed one on top of the other, and this repeated one hundred and forty-four times, there would be had a column ten feet square and over a mile high. The rapidity with which the caissons were put down is the boast of the contractors. In the construction of the New LaSalle Hotel one caisson a day was the record, which beat the world's record up to that time. The workmen on the City Hall foundations put down one caisson in three-quarters of each day that the work was proceeding; thus they themselves beat the world's record. The contract for the foundations called for the completion of them and their turning over to the contractors for the superstructure on April 28, 1909. They were completed fifteen days ahead of contract time. The second set of contractors are under a bond in the sum of 51.100.000 to secure the proper doing of their work, and under a $400 a day forfeit clause foreveryday they are behind time at the completion of the building. Their contract requires them to have the new City Hall completed and ready for occupancy by October 10, 1910. It will have one floor more than the County Building, and contain 335,000 more cubic feet than its twin edifice; while the cost will be |146,000 less. ^OQ.^'ti'b Telephone Number for all City Offices ....

Just as the United States was the first true republic to endure and now has be- come the greatest republic the world has ever known, so the New York Central, one of the first important railroads to be established in America, has grown into a great transporta- tion system which, if it is not the foremost in the world, is at least among the very few in the front rank. In the development of the nation the New York Central Railroad has played an essential part. It became the principal highway over which flowed the stream of emigration to people the West, and it has remained the favorite ave- nue of communication between East and West for the descendants of these pioneer emigrants. Keeping pace with the demands upon it for transportation, the New York Central has de- veloped into a railroad system now known as The New York Central Lines, which moves about ten per cent of the aggregate amount of freight hauled by all the railroads as Measured in ton-miles, that is, one ton hauled one mile, 3 NEW Y-0 P.,K_ CENTELAL LIN ES ••• 04101110"r.- Grand Central Terminal, New York City, as it appears from Forty -second Street.

  • Chicago's Evolving City Council Chicago City Council Report #9
    Chicago’s Evolving City Council Chicago City Council Report #9 June 17, 2015 – March 29, 2017 Authored By: Dick Simpson Maureen Heffern Ponicki Allyson Nolde Thomas J. Gradel University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science May 17, 2017 2 Since Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the new Chicago City Council were sworn in two years ago, there have been 67 divided roll call votes or roughly three per month. A divided roll call vote is not unanimous because at least one or more aldermen votes against the mayor and his administration. The rate of divided roll call votes – twice the rate in Emanuel’s first four year term – combined with an increase in the number of aldermen voting against the mayor – are indications that the aldermen are becoming more independent. Clearly, the city council is less of a predictable “rubber stamp” than it was during Mayor Richard M. Daley’s 22 years and Emanuel’s first four year term from 2011-2015. However, this movement away from an absolute rubber stamp is small and city council is only glacially evolving. The increase in aldermanic independence is confirmed by a downward trend in the vote agreement with the mayor, with only five aldermen voting with him 100% of the time and another 22 voting with him 90%. The number of aldermen voting with the mayor less than 90% of the time on divided votes has risen to 23 over the last two years. Aldermen are also more willing to produce their own legislation and proposed solutions to critical city problems than in the past rather than wait for, or to clear their proposals with, the 5th floor.

  • From Rubber Stamp to a Divided City Council Chicago City Council Report #11 June 12, 2019 – April 24, 2020
    From Rubber Stamp to a Divided City Council Chicago City Council Report #11 June 12, 2019 – April 24, 2020 Authored By: Dick Simpson Marco Rosaire Rossi Thomas J. Gradel University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science April 28, 2020 The Chicago Municipal Elections of 2019 sent earthquake-like tremors through the Chicago political landscape. The biggest shock waves caused a major upset in the race for Mayor. Chicago voters rejected Toni Preckwinkle, President of the Cook County Board President and Chair of the Cook County Democratic Party. Instead they overwhelmingly elected former federal prosecutor Lori Lightfoot to be their new Mayor. Lightfoot is a black lesbian woman and was a partner in a major downtown law firm. While Lightfoot had been appointed head of the Police Board, she had never previously run for any political office. More startling was the fact that Lightfoot received 74 % of the vote and won all 50 Chicago's wards. In the same elections, Chicago voters shook up and rearranged the Chicago City Council. seven incumbent Aldermen lost their seats in either the initial or run-off elections. A total of 12 new council members were victorious and were sworn in on May 20, 2019 along with the new Mayor. The new aldermen included five Socialists, five women, three African Americans, five Latinos, two council members who identified as LGBT, and one conservative Democrat who formally identified as an Independent. Before, the victory parties and swearing-in ceremonies were completed, politically interested members of the general public, politicians, and the news media began speculating about how the relationship between the new Mayor and the new city council would play out.
