32 % NEVSPAPER PLANT OVER RALROA Chicago Daily News to Use Air Rights Above Tracks of Terminal. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, ry 1.—A move reminiscen develop- ment over the York Central tracks in New as made here today with the announcement that the Chicago Daily vould bui modern news t over t leading into Chicasc tion. It was the first definite step ever taken here for the use of air rights above railroad property for commer- cial development. The site chosen for the News plant is on the west bank of the Chicago River in an area rapidly developing c ments by the r cago Plan Commi wil and p: g 400 by bounded cet, C: et, Wash- an eight. e News. paper’s use ¥ E ck sky- scrape r 18 stories higher, will take up the €ull 400 feet frontage on Canal strefl, a thoroughfare recently widened S&nd improved in connection with the Union Station development, and ®ill be 100 feet deep. Preliminary sketches call for a terrace and promenade be- tween the building proper and the river, 400 feet long by 160 feet wide, virtually forming a park tributary to the structure, but open to pedestrian traffic. The location is across the street from the Northwestern Railroad terminal, near the magnificent new Union Station and the site selected for a new post office and directly across the river from the propased $16,000,000 skyscraper opera houss. The agreement with the Chirago Union_Station Co. provides for the outright purchase of the strip of ®nd on which the building will stand and for the leasing for 99 years of thd air rights over the remainder of the property, with option to purchase. The ground acquired by deed in- cludes 25,000 square feet not now in use as railroad property and 15,000 square, feet containing tracks, the air rights over which were purchased out- right. Smoke Taken Care Of.° Pending electrification of the rail- roads entering the Union Station the smoke from locomotives under the Daily News property will be taken care of by smoke chambers built into the plaza. construction. The News, which has been published at Wells and Madison streets for more than 50 years, is the second newspaper to move out of the Loop proper, al- though it still will be within the new and larger Loop provided by recent civic improvements. The new site, however, is still within a block of Market street newspaper row, on the east side of the river. Several years ago the Chicago Tribune moved into ll;s gothic tower north of the Chicago iver. RATHBONE IN FAVOR OF THEATER MUSEUM RBepresentative’s Plea Prompts Newcomers to Indorse Memorial Bill. The need of the Government mak- ing a national museum of the old Ford Theater, in which President Lincoln was shot, to house the Oldroyd Lincoln memorial collection recently acquired by the Government, was stressed in an address by Representative Henry R. Rathbone of Illinois at a luncheon of , the Newcomers’ Club in the La Fay- ette Hotel yesterday. Mr. Rathbone explained that his bill proposing the conversion of the old theater into a museum is now pending in Congress. The speaker also declared that the old house on Tenth street in which President Lincoln died should be re- stored as nearly as possible to the ‘way is looked during Civil War days. ““Washington has a great asset in these historical places and should make the most of it by properly pre- serving them,” he continued. He deplored the fact that at pres- enth the famous Olroyd collection is in a non-fireproof building and might be destroyed at any time. This, he indicated, would mean the losing of the priceless collection, which could not be duplicated and which Mr. Oldroyd spent more than 60 years acquiring. The' club, following Mr. Rathbone’s address, adopted a resolution to sup- port the bill for converting the the- ater into 2 museum, and voted to send communications to the Senate and House District committees to inform those bodies of the club’s wishes in the matter. Announcement was made that the elub will hold a smoker in the Racquet Club tomorrow night at 8 o'clock. Dr. George B. Trible is chairman of the committee in charge of arrangements for the occasion. Charles W. Hoover, president of the club, presided. il In the past 400 years volcanoes have caused almost 200,000 deaths. @& & Lansh THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, urgh 1, 1927. & Bro.
