What reading level is Chicago Its Natural Advantages As An Industrial And Commercial Center And Marke book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The tunnels go under the Chicago River in eleven places and at such crossings they are about 60 feet below the surface of the stream. By placing the tunnels at this depth below the street level, the sewers, water and other pipes, which fill up a city's streets, were all avoided, and there was also left ample room above the tops of the tunnels for the construction of a subway system for the street car traffic of the city in case it was ever determined to build one. The Tunnel Company cannot carr...y passengers through its bores, under its franchise.
The Tunnel Company carries freight, inbound and outbound, de- livers coal and removes ashes and other debris and rubbish. The cars, operated by electricity entirely, have a capacity of three tons each and are drawn to the elevators directly underneath the establishment to be served, where they are placed on the elevators and hoisted to any desired floor of the building in which they are loaded or unloaded as may be desired.
This tunnel system is of benefit to business in two principal ways : first, it relieves the merchants and manufacturers of all cost of drayage, the railroads, to which the goods are delivered or from which they are received, paying the company such charge, which is small in comparison with the expense of drayage with horses, and the convenience and economy to the railroads themselves; second, it enables jobbers and producers to carry on their business for the entire twenty-four hours of the day, instead of eight or ten hours as formerly.
