Rumor says the Board of Public Works will grant a franchise to the Indianapolis Southern Railroad Company. City Attorney Joss drew the franchise with strict provisions on shops near the city, liability for damages, safety gates, traffic clearance, fixed cross-approaches, and board power to elevate tracks and supervise crossings. The item prompts talk of inspections, staffing changes, and infrastructure updates ahead of council action.
