West End merger act hailed by governors and officials
Governor Foss Mayor Fitzgerald and Louis D. Brandeis praised the West End merger act as the completed product after months of argument. The Elevated plans to build new subways at about 12 million dollars face acceptance and possible court fights, with the city to own and lease to the Elevated at 4 percent rent. The stockholders met to vote proxies totaling about 9000 while Tyler challenged voting and majority rules, and West End stockholders agreed to sell real estate to the Elevated. The meeting aimed to proceed with subway development under chapter 741.
