Quincy council backs action over street railway seven cent fare
Alderman McNutt led a council vote empowering the mayor, corporation counsel and three aldermen to press steps to force the street railway to meet franchise conditions after the public utilities commission denied a rehearing on the seven cent fare. The session also approved routine waterworks reports, a larger bungalow contingency, and a city share of street improvements along Sunset Park Broadway and nearby streets. A water pipe hookup request by Tom Munday was delayed for petition efforts to include his Fifth and Locust home. A Senate letter praising Alderman Hyatt’s anti packer efforts was read.
