AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMYYAYYYVYYYYYVWYVW All the trolley wires on Manhattan Island are underground and out of sight. There are no cable roads left. Why cannot Chicago, behind all other cities in street car service, have similar lines? No franchise should be granted in the future except on condition that the wires go underground and the street car companies pave the streets from curb to curb. n m THE AUmA ftftftftftftftftflftftflWWW The Ice Trust, which raises the price on the poor, is the Advance Guard of Hades. It is in league with the Heat Fiend to crush out human life or extort money. If there is any honor left in our Legislature or City Council, the Ice Trust should be smashed. :( BBBBQQBBBQBBQBBBBBBBBBQBQBBBQBBBBQQBBB&&QBBOBBQBB0BB0BBBBBB& B&&&&&&&Q&&&&Q&&&&&QQ&Q&&Q&&QQ&& WATCH THE UNION TRACTION GANG! I fr&teQQ(3(301QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQeue The Street Car Franchises will be renewed next year without any concessions to our citizens. The proper "People" and Reformers have been fixed. As the date draws near when the franchises expire their silence becomes more profound. Does money alone talk? The deal has evidently been made and the stock and "stuff" distributed among the right parties. NO BETTER ACCOMMODA TIONS FOR PASSENGERS. NO LOWER FARES. NO IMPROVEMENT IN CARS. Just lower the tunnels. That is enough for the people, say the gangsters. iDSDBiDBQDDBODDDDBBDBBDDBDBDDBDDESDSDOBBBI) i THE STREETS NOW BELONG TO THE CORPORATIONS!
