The above map shows the distance that Chicago frontage, if arranged in a single line. would have extended a year ago. [From report of zoning commission.] them. In preparing the new zoning ordinance | now 260 feet of business frontage serving adopted by the city council April 5. 1923. the committee having the matter in charge caused a very thorough survey of Chicago to be made. It was upon the facts and figures thus obtained that the ordinance was based. The survey was completed April 29, 1922, and hence the statistics, while accurate up to that time, are only approximately so at present. Nevertheless they are of value for comparative purposes and for conveying an idea of the uses to which the 200 square miles of Chicago's area are put. Following are the more important figures and comparisons developed by the survey as set forth in the tentative report of the zoning commission Jan. 5. 1923: There are 777 miles of frontage now devoted exclusively to single private residences. 481 miles devoted to two-flat buildings, 263 miles to apartment buildings, 286 miles of business frontage and 26 square miles devoted to manufacturing. The manufacturing area is equivalent to 1.082 miles of frontage if arranged in lots of average depth. For each 100 families in Chicago there are The area of Chicago is approximately 200 square miles, of which forty-seven are streets and alleys and twenty-two are parks. water. cemeteries and similar uses, leaving a total of 131 square miles of usable private land. Scattered over various parts of the city there are forty-eight square miles of vacant and usable private property. This includes vacant lots as well as unsubdivided lands. If this property were stretched along a thor oughfare with lots of average depth there would be a street frontage 1,574 miles in length. In Chicago there are 135,840 one-family houses, 96,500 two-flat buildings and 37.630 apartment houses. In these apartment houses there are 188.260 individual living apartments. In addition to this there are approximately 62.900 living apartments over stores. These figures show that approximately 750.000 people live in one-family houses, about 1,000,000 in two-flat buildings and another 1,000,000 in apartment buildings and over stores. HEIGHT OF THE CHICAGO TEMPLE. The main structure of the Chicago Temple, | feet and the cross 13 feet. making the total erected by the First Methodist church of Chi cago at Clark and Washington streets. is 260 feet. The tower is 140 feet, the steeple 156 height from the sidewalk to the top of the cross 569 feet. The arms of the cross are 8 feet. The gilding on the cross cost $500.
