Water utility franchise supports 4c fare and better service
Statement from the Greater Waterloo Committee after a July 2, 1917 mass meeting defends a new street railway franchise. It argues tracks consent required in residential areas, limited freight on specific streets, and safeguards for property owners. The plan promises ten to twenty minute city service, twenty new cars, and fares of 4c for students and working people. It contrasts with opponents, urges a YES vote, and lists committee signers led by Herman Miller.
