Let the City Own Them Moral sermon on municipal streetcar ownership
A discussion led by Rev. J M Wilson argues for city ownership of street railways to curb corruption and graft. He cites St Louis and Jersey City as examples where private companies wield political power and profits flow to eastern capitalists, urging municipal operation as remedy and noting parallels with city utilities. He is contrasted with Dr Wilken and Starman who advocate global municipal ownership of housing and transport.
