New Near Side Street Car Stops Illustrated in City District
An ordinance effective April 1 1914 reconfigures street car stops in the downtown district bounded by Pasnie Street Capitol Avenue and Buffalo Bayou. New near side stops replace far side, with several changes illustrated by a drawing showing route lines and stop locations including Main and Preston, Travis Street, and the Rice Hotel area. Guidance to readers is provided via a telephonelike information clerk contact.
