‘To Members,
National Basketball Committee:

At the present time there is a strike among the taxi drivers of
Chicago. If this continues through next week it may be necessary
for members of the committee to reach their hotel by street car or
elevated, Since the Morrison Hotel is near most of the stations
there will be no great difficulty but the following information
may be of use to you. :

How to Reach Morrison Hotel from Various Stations

From Chicago and Northwestern Station: Front entrance faces Madison
Street. Take Madison Street car going east. It is five blocks
to the Morrison.

From Union Station: There is a pedestrian tunnel leading from the
waiting room to the elevated station, Take any elevated train
going to the city. Get off at Madison Street station and walk
two and one-half blocks west on Madison.

From LaSalle St. Station: Front entran. ce is on Van Buren Street.
Walk one block east (to the right) to Clark Street and then
four blocks north to Madison.

elevated station. Take any elevated train to the city. Get
off 2% Madison and walk two and one-half blocks west.

Of course, .tnere may be some independent taxis available and in that
Gase you Will not need these directions. If not, you should have a

good appetite by the time you reach the hotel, I hope the elevator

men will still be working. Otherwise it would be a long trail to ~
the top of the Morrison Hotel tower, =

Yours truly, ~
