His presence, he said, was due entirely to his citizenship and for the sake of good government. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Charles S. Deneen Republican, the president, Edw. Logan Tteeves, acting as chairman. The singing of "Illinois" by the quartet was a feature of the evening's vocal selections. Conspicuous among the gathering were the members of the "Baldheaded club." Chas. W. Vail considering himself the most prominent owing to the scarcity of hair. David Matchette and H. H. Groves were ortrthe platform.

Illinois Central Railroad, Parent Corporation of New Line, Must Give Concession.

Most people in South Chicago and the thirty-third ward seem to think that the Kensington & Kastein road put one over on the people of South Chicago and the two local aldermen when the road was granted a temporary permit to lay its tracks through the south end of the two adjoining wards. As a matter of fact, in granting this temporary permit, it giveh the local ald ermen the whip hand and they are now in line to get any concessions they want from the Illinois Central road, which owns the Kensington & East ern road. Temporary Permit. The temporary permit which wai granted is only effective until Dec. 1. If at that time the transportation committee, of which Alderman Moynihaa is the head, does not see fit to grant them a regular permit, the company will be compelled to tear up its tracks. To do this would mean throwing out the established service of the Kensing ton & Eastern and Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend roads. Before the local aldermen will sign a petition asking for a regular permit the company will be asked to grant a few concessions to the residents of the two wards. Want Teu Cent Fore. One thing that Alderman Moynihan, will demand of the Illinois Central road is a ten cent fare to and from downtown, protection of the right of way and improvement of their crossings and buildings in South Chicago. In the thirty-third ward the aldermen, headed by Ernest Bihl. will ask that the company erect an up-to-date suburban depot at Kensington, put gates at the One Hundred and Thirteenth street crossing, dedicate Front street as a public thoroughfare, and also remove the unsightly sheds that now stand on the company's premises.

Hut While the Kensington & Eastern road means one of the biggest booms for the Calumet region, the aldermen, backed up by the people, are determined to see that they are not handed a lemon by the corporation, and before the company secures its desired franchise it will be necessary to come across and spend a few thousand dollars in bettering its trackage and buildings through the Calumet region.
