Franchises Granted for Peters Street West End Line
The Atlanta council approved a 48 year franchise for the Atlanta Rapid Transit Company to build a Peters Street line to West End with a required permanent viaduct contract and a 520,000 bond. The deal includes paving contributions, fare rules debated by Alderman Welch and Kontz, and heavy conditions ensuring city protection and timely construction. Captain Evan P. Howell urged swift action and opposed restrictive fare provisions, while merchants along Peters Street opposed streetcar lines, fearing business shifts. The ordinance now heads to the aldermanic board for concurrence.
