Americus considers a proposal from Thomson Houston and Mr H E Palmer to refit and operate the street railway. The plan requires tax exemption, Jackson Street crossing, and monthly patronage guarantees totaling about 6500 dollars. A city canvass will test readiness to guarantee tickets at five dollars each per month for a year, aiming to start work next week if backing is sufficient.
