Biographical notes:

On November 13, 1913, the Chicago City Council passed the Chicago Surface Lines Ordinance, which went into effect on February 1, 1914. It provided for unified operation of Chicago's various street railways under the supervision of the Chicago Surface Lines. The transit lines involved retained their independent ownership but functioned as subsidiaries of one parent company.
