Protective Plan for Pittsburgh and Wilkinsburg Railway Charter
The Pittsborg and Wilkinsburg Railway Company will apply to the Governor on August 1 for a charter to operate an electric or cable road between the East End and Wilkinsburg. Citizens' Traction Company had rights of way claimed over four years ago to run street cars on the same route and may oppose the charter. Mr Murray Verner commented that the filing likely concerns the company that laid tracks between the two points and seeks a charter under the new law to be well protected.
