Defeat for Dunne on bond issue in Chicago vote
Chicago voters endorsed municipal ownership of street railways in principle but fell short of the 60 percent threshold to authorize immediate operation. A separate $75,000,000 certificate plan passed, enabling public ownership under Mueller law, while a third proposition on immediate operation failed. Mayor Dunne expressed disappointment at the failed operation measure but hailed the certificates and public policy votes as partial victory for municipal control.
