WISCONSIN CENTRAL RAILWAY LAND. Alderman Kehe said he had been
investigating for some time regarding the piece of land north of the pumphouse on
Des Plaines Avenue (which is the property of the Wisconsin Central Railway, and
which they desire to sell at a price of $1140.00 to the City.) The Mayor informed
the Alderman that he thought the City should purchase the land, as it adjoins the
City property and is the only access the citizens have to the river except the
Forest Preserve. The Clerk was instructed to write the company that the Council
may consider purchasing but desired further investigation (and to see where funds
may be received for the purchase.)
