This sum, he says, will be sufficient to begin the work, snd carry out the portion which ta most necessary. The beginning probably will be made with a bore to extend from the Van Buren atreet tunnel, east to Michigan avenue and north to Washington atreet aad west to the aan-ington street tunnel. Connection could then niih throurh the rebuilt Salle atreet tunnel with the North Side lines.

Mayor Buase haa informed me that he la in favor ot having the work pushed forward as rapidly as possible. "The proposition ia aot up to tbe board of supervising engineers. An ordinance must first be paaaed by tne council before tne board can act.

The traction ordinances require the companion to contribute ti. COS .000 aa their share toward the eooetructioa of the tunnels whenever the city decide to go ahead with the work. Mr. Fisher said that the New Tork plaa of subway could not be naed in Chicago.

The tunsela would only be extended as tbe district enlarge. Provision for Water Mains.
