Drastic Traction Action Considered by City Council
The city weighs a last resort ordinance to bar Dayton and Western cars on Main Street from the east line to Eighth Street, potentially halting limited Richmond to Indianapolis service. Officials warn it would disrupt travel and may force the traction firm to accept terms including a transfer clause. The D W lacks a franchise for Main Street operation, and while Panhandle service remains, the measure would be unpopular but feasible as leverage in the protracted dispute.
