Commercial Club adopts street railway report for Kansas City
At an open meeting on May 8 the Commercial Club voted to appoint a committee to represent the club in city and court discussions over the Metropolitan Street Railway franchise. The committee, named May 18, produced a June 16 report urging careful study of the ordinance, noting the city and company finances and arguing a new franchise is necessary to secure funding, service, and long-term improvements amid receiverships and foreclosures.
