Americus Street Railway Opportunity Urged for Lease Plan
The Times-Recorder argues Americus should act on a lease proposal for a street railway using a $1,500 annual guarantee and a 12 month option to buy at an agreed price. It outlines revenue from tickets, excursions, and current expenses to show the plan could cover costs and possibly lead to purchase. The piece notes the current $50,000 debt is cleared and warns against buying at $35,000 amid financial strain. It cites owners’ interests in Leeton Park and suggests a syndicate could operate the line with manageable risk.
