City Council debates street car speed and right of way ordinance
The council discussed an ordinance from the Public Safety Committee requiring street cars to stop at intersections, with penalties from 50 to 300 dollars. Debate focused on right of way and car speed limits, including a six mile per hour cap proposed by Dr. McCord. The amendment failed and the ordinance did not pass due to insufficient majority.
