j RESOLUTION
! Whereas. the Ironwood & Bessemer
Railway & Light Co, corporation
maintaining and operating an interurban
and street railway system in Wisconsin
and Michigan, and,
/ Whereas. the said Ironwood & BeSse-
mer Ry. & Light Co. by its methods OF
operating its interurban and street rail-
way system. shows unjust discrimina-
ton toward the city Of Hurley. in 50 far
as their general service goes, by cOmpell-
ing the citizens Of Hurley to transfer ar
the city Of Ironwood 10 take the interur-
ban car to the city Of Bessemer. and,
Whereas, II IS fact that often patrons
OF the said company are compelled to
stand on the streets Of Ironwood for in.
definite periods OF time to wait connec-
tons going either east or west, when
SAID interurban car can and should be
run from its eastern terminus to its
western terminus 50 as TO give proper
and just accommodations to its patrons,
and,
r. Whereas, the said company does carry
passengers from the village Of Hamilton
to the city Of Ironwood for the same fare
for those stopping of in the city OF Hur-
ley. when the citizens of Hurley are
obliged TO pay fare Of seVen-Cents TO
ride on the same car 20 IrOnwood which
IS IN our opinion an unjust discrimina-
ton against TIE citizens Of Hurley and its
business interests and,
Whereas, the smaller cars in use by
the said company have in the past winter
seasons proven to be but little better
than wind shields, the heating Of said
cars being 50 slight that it has but little
effect; now therefore be it,
