Long council concession on conductor clause in street railway plan
The Davenport Rock Island and Moline area notes reveal the city council modified the conductor clause in the street railway ordinance under pressure from the syndicate which has invested heavily in lines that are mostly unprofitable. The city kept a 1 percent clause, but critics say the change may reflect cautious governance amid heavy losses and stalled payback across Elm Street Rock Island and Davenport lines. The Dispatch reports on public sentiment for a mayoral race and liquor licensing, showing varied views on enforcing laws and raising licenses, with many favoring a $1000 license and strict enforcement.
