Notes |
- In 1945 Philip Harrington was named Chairman of the Chicago Transit Board which was the city department which owned and operated elevated, subway and streetcar lines. He was credited with a major role in three public improvement projects in Chicago - the initial subway system, the superhighway system which was nearing the construction stage at the time of his death in 1949, and the unification and modernization of local transit facilities.
