This report details the valuation of tangible and intangible properties of the Chicago City Railway Company and the Chicago Union Traction Company. Compiled by the Traction Valuation Commission, including Bion Joseph Arnold, Mortimer Elwyn Cooley, and Antoine Bidermann Du Pont, and submitted to the Chicago City Council's Committee on Local Transportation, the document offers a comprehensive assessment of the railways' assets.
A crucial resource for understanding the financial underpinnings of Chicago's early 20th-century transportation infrastructure, the report provides insight into the methods used to evaluate railway properties and the economic factors influencing urban transit systems. It represents a significant historical record for researchers and historians studying the development of urban transportation and public finance.
