Electric Lighting Still in Doubt in City Council Meeting
The Indianapolis city council, with 24 members present, debated electric light contracts and street railway issues. Discussions centered on a proposed Second Street canal bridge, with a $500 cap, and delays to committee reports while lobbyists pressed for action. The aldermen also advanced or amended measures on streetcar routes and a Pleasant Run extension, but action remained cautious and procedural.
