Blue Island Looks at Traction Franchise Ordinance
At a Blue Island Commercial Association meeting the traction franchise ordinance was submitted for council consideration after edits. Seventeen typewritten copies will be made for aldermen and officials. The group discussed road bed reconstruction using Chicago standard type 2 A grooved rails, amid talk of possible annexation by Chicago. The Chicago Telephone Company faced harsh criticism over poor service and connection problems, with calls sometimes charged as toll calls. A motion directed the secretary to contact company manager Mr Khroades to investigate the service issues.
