Bridgeport Aldermen Take No Action on Trolley Tangle
Bridgeport officials met last night with many citizens present as no steps were taken to resolve the trolley service disruption. A Kiwanis request urged returning trolleys, while Alderman Hagen's 30 day service notice was sidelined awaiting the transportation committee. A public hearing on the Broad Street extension was set for September 7 and a pension for Mrs. Coley was approved. Daylight saving time was extended to October 31 to align with nearby cities.
