Edison Electric Dominates Savannah Street Railways
In Savannah on December 8 the Edison Electric Dominating Company reportedly acquired the city street railway interests from George Parsons who, sources say, received over 1 million dollars. Edison, backed largely by Boston and Savannah interests, will consolidate with the local lighting plant under president George J. Baldwin. The new entity will control about 25 miles of track and the city’s electric light contract, with capitalization around 3.5 million dollars, and may issue new securities as consolidation proceeds. Additionally, the Houston electric and street railways takeover by Edison was noted, with plans for oil-fueled operations and a Galveston or Port Arthur steamship link.
