The piece accuses Chicago aldermen of aiding a Bell Telephone Trust move to merge local operations and curb competition. It cites ordinance changes, cost impacts on subscribers, and alleged profits, urging voters to oppose monopolistic control and warning of a looming primary fight.
The plan proposes a thirty to forty million dollar install of meters and a high pressure system funded by the public. Advocates say half the funds could build extra pumping stations to meet demand. A well known engineer warns of political traps and surprising moves as Michigan avenue traffic and two city lines face a possible end. The controversy centers on a combine that could end the automatic system and shift subscribers to the Bell company after a failed effort to revise the plan.
