Citizens' Association of Chicago

The Citizens' Association of Chicago was founded in 1874, following the second Chicago fire. Concerned by the absence of fire protection, a group of citizens organized an association to work for better municipal administration. Since that date, the Association devoted its efforts to the task of assuring Chicago's citizens of honest city government, free of fraud and corruption.
