MONEY SPENT IN THE NATIONAL CAMPAIGN OF 1912. From statements filed with the secretary of the United States senate and the clerk of the house of representatives it appears that a total of $3,050,335 was spent by the various national party committees in the primary and electoral campaigns of 1912. This amount does not include money expended by state committees or individuals in the contest for the nomination and election of federal officials. The aggregate has been estimated at about $6,000,000, The sums reported as spent by the national committees were: Democratic party.. Republican party. Total $1,134,848 1,092,699 665,500 157,288 3,050,335 The amount spent in the nomination and election of candidates for the national house of representatives was placed at $1,283,257. This, of course, does not apply to the expenses falling upon the taxpayers for holding the election themselves. nasium. SOUTH SHORE LAKE FRONT DEVELOPMENT AND FIELD MUSEUM SITE. A contract was entered into March 30, 1912, between the Illinois Central Railroad company and the South park commissioners in order to enable the park commissioners to carry out the development of the shore of Lake Michigan between Grant and Jackson parks, as proposed in the plan of Chicago, which plan was originated by the Commercial club of Chicago and committed by the city council to the Chicago plan commission for development. The south shore plan enables the new Field Museum of Natural History to be located downtown, where it will be easily accessible to all, facing north on the new widened 12th street at its intersection with South Park avenue extended and overlooking Grant park. The necessary authority having been granted by the United States government, on Oct. 19, 1912, work was begun on the breakwaters and the filling in of land east of the Illinois Central station for the early erection of the Field Museum. The park plan provides for the creation of approximately 1,500 acres of park space along Chicago's lake front, beginning at Grant park in the center of the city, by the filling in, first, of a strip of shore land approximately 300 feet wide, facing the open lake, this strip to extend solidly to connect with Jackson park on the south. The strip is to be planted with trees and given informal landscape treatment with flowers and shrubs growing throughout its extent. Along this shore will run a watercourse, approximately 500 feet wide, for small craft, for sailboats, motor boats, canoes and racing shells. Beyond the watercourse, built to protect it and provide safety and shelter to pleasure craft, will be an island, approximately 700 feet wide, and extending from Grant to Jackson parks, planted with trees, having a shore driveway and winding walks, and, under the proposed plan, providing frequent bathing beaches for the city's summer multitudes, as well as athletic grounds, baseball fields, running tracks, tennis courts, football fields, a stadium and a public gym This agreement, made March 30, 1912, between the South park commissioners and the Illinois Central Railroad company, provides for the acquiring by the park commissioners of the riparian rights attaching to the land lying between Grant and Jackson parks; for the establishment of a specified permanent boundary line dividing the railroad property from the submerged lands to be acquired by the park commissioners; for the construction of specified viaducts over the railroad tracks; for the extension of South Park avenue north over the railroad tracks to connect with Grant park at 12th street; for the removal of the 12th street station to land south of the new widened 12th street extended to the lake shore; for the transfer of all land east of Michigan avenue and north of 12th street, as far as the present southern boundary of Grant park, to the park commissioners for park purposes; for the transfer to the railroad company of certain specified lands for right of way, and for various other minor agreed changes in present conditions. This agreement was ratified, in accordance with law, by Judge Lockwood Honore of the Circuit court July 10, 1912. The contract was modified by a supplemental agreement, signed June 26, 1912, which provides for a reduction in the land granted the railroad for right of way; for depression of roadbed; for prohibition of buildings (except switch towers and platform passenger stations) upon the right of way between 29th and 51st streets, in order to permit an unobstructed view of the lake; for a prohibition upon the use of the additional right of way until the railroad company arranges for the operating of four tracks by motive power other than steam (which is designed to encourage the electrification of the road); for specified viaducts over right of way; for widening and relocation of Indiana avenue, and for specified widening of Michigan avenue between 12th and 13th streets.
