Street-car Jones and the Thirteenth Street extension debate
The piece argues Streetcar Jones blocked a northern extension from Thirteenth Street to Third Street citing moral concerns. It notes board members favor extending to serve a densely populated area, easing passenger traffic and supporting the Cob lemeave project, while questions linger about the real motives behind Jones’s stance. It also mentions interurban freight rates and larger rail finance curiosities including J P Morgan’s bond purchase and Perry Heath’s denial.
