City Council Overrides Mayor and Approves Transit Ordinances
The Common Council, with 33 votes to 9 for the Exchange ordinance and 33 to 8 for the Manchester ordinance, overruled the mayor’s veto to grant streetcar routes through Market Street. Leaders Ferguson O’Donnell King and McHugh pressed opposition amid bribery claims while Traction supporters canvassed praises. The meeting drew 42 of 46 members and a large public crowd, validating rapid transit plans despite warnings of street disruption and political pressure.
