West End Street Railway hearing on transfers dispute
The committee on street railways held another hearing on the Donovan bill to secure a fairer transfer system for the West End Street Railway. George Fred Williams pressed questions. Cummings defended costs, bond sales, and transfer figures. An executive session trimmed questions, a dispute over bond pricing, and a note from Dickinson sparked protest. The hearing adjourned to Thursday with final arguments planned.
