Brightwood Dons Its Red War Paint For Streetcar Reform
At a Brightwood ward improvement club meeting held Friday night at J. J. Valdenaire’s office a committee was formed to push a petition to the Board of Works for relief from the “scandalous” streetcar service. Members Pearson Mendenhall J. J. Valdenaire and Dr. Carter will meet the executive committee Monday to decide timing for presenting the petition seeking eight minute service and a longer double track from Columbia Ave to Lawrence Street. The current 13 minute service crowds women and children into cars, with only five cars operating and an extra tripper worsening the problem. Petitions for improvements, including Hill Ave and Hillside areas, are to be presented by Councilman Negley, who attended the meeting and pledged to assist.
