Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chicago, a Record of Progress: January 1919 IT has been my custom in the past as Mayor of Chicago to ren der an annual message to the City Council, which has been more or less a formal statement of the work done by the different municipal departments. This report has necessarily been brief and incomplete and has failed to accomplish the desired purpose of furnishing to the people of Chicago a true record of the year's accomplishment and a guide to future action. This year I have asked each department of the City to fur nish me a report of the attainments of that department and from these records I have had compiled such information as I believe the people of Chicago are interested in as a report from their representatives who are handling these departments for them. I have entitled this report, A Record of Progress, and I believe the facts warrant this title. In some instances I have presented these reports in chart form so that one may see at a glance the condition of the department and what. Has been achieved.
