The Streets Belong to the Corporations Protest
Citizens protest renewal of street car franchises next year with no concessions. Reformers claim proper people fixed the situation but allege deals have been made, stock distributed among right parties, offering no better passenger accommodations or lower fares.
Franchises of fifty three lines expire in 1908 and 1903
A detailed list shows 53 Union Traction Company lines expiring in 1908 and 1903, with 27 granted to North Chicago and 26 to West Chicago. Several routes, including State Street and Clark Street lines, are marked subject to the 1865 act, with many endpoints named from Lake to Wentworth avenues and across the West Side.
