Nears Settlement on Traction Franchises and City Rail Debate

City Council Transportation Committee moves toward a final settlement on the 53 traction lines owned by Union Traction Company with 1865 act franchises under review. Mayor Harrison’s stance sparks political sparks, while Attorney Colonel Bliss guides negotiations with the City Railway for a fair deal and public service improvement. The list of expiring franchises covers North and West Side lines from Clark to Division and beyond, with dates mostly terminable in 1903 and later for several routes including Wabash Avenue and Indiana Avenue lines.
