Chicago's Experiment in Street Rail Control Debated
Chicago rejects municipal ownership and moves toward a six member traction commission to oversee improvements, reporting of receipts, and profit sharing with the city. Three members chosen by the city and three by the traction firms would oversee a wide range of transit projects, including a possible $56 million downtown subway, car additions, street repaving, and system upgrades. If firms accept ordinances, the commission gains power. if not, franchises may be revoked. Mayor-elect Busse inherits a delicate path as Republican control shifts the city government and national interest rises in these municipal reform efforts.
