Excerpt from Report of Proceedings: October Third and Fourth, 1919
The chairman: Gentlemen, I would like to have the visiting city officials, if there are any sit ting around the room, take chairs at the table.
I want to first, on behalf of the City Of Chicago, extend Chicago's heartiest greeting and welcome to the visiting city officials. In my long experience in the Department of Streets, I believe this is the largest and most representative gathering of public officials that ever assembled in this city and we officials here appreciate it. We are glad you have come and hope you will have a good time.
Mr. Mitchell, the Superintendent of Streets, was to preside at this gathering but unfortunately he has been ill for the past two weeks and he asked me to express his very deep regret at being unable to be here today. I have prepared a little tentative program. There isn't anything formal about this gathering. We thought that we would make it just as informal as we possibly could; that we would have a sort of round table conference with an interchange of ideas. I believe it was suggested that we would have for mal papers and all that but I thought you gentlemen would enjoy it better and probably get just as much out of it if we make this meeting ours and get out of it what we can.
Now, this little program here is purely tentative. We may add to or take away. You may talk about anything you please and as long and when you please. Primarily, I presume this is a street clean ing conference and so I have placed street cleaning activities at the head. The first subject is street flushing.
