Belmont Interurban Car Line Plot Hinted by Rosenbaum Partners
Wright and attorney Morrison investigate a covert Maple Avenue franchising bill. The Belmont Interurban Company fronts as the proposer, with Chicago backers and anonymous incorporators. Press scrutiny uncovers scant facts, while Rosenbaum & Rosenbaum defend the project’s supposed local benefits.
Belmont Traction Franchises and a Secret Stockyards Move
Wright and Morrison weigh a Belmont Traction Company franchise that would use Maple Avenue and cross tracks near Bluff Street to reach the stockyards.

Belmond officials debate public trust and the city’s future transit and industry.
