City Friction Over Interurban Franchise Stalemate
The Board of works has not acted further on the interurban concession denial. President Sahm doubts new city concessions will be granted and argues the 27 cent daily tax is not a hardship. He calls the track maintenance requirement weak since operators own no tracks inside the city and suggests annexation could bring them inside. A further conference is likely later this week.
