 (from Ch. 24, par. 11-122-1)Sec. 11-122-1.         Subject to the provisions of Section 11-122-6, every city  may own, construct, acquire, purchase, maintain, and operate street  railways within its corporate limits. For the purpose of this Division 122  the expression "street railways" includes railways above, on, or below the  surface of the city streets. But no city shall proceed to operate street  railways unless the proposition to operate is first submitted to the  electors of the city as a separate proposition and approved by three-fifths  of those voting thereon.The city council of any city that decides by popular vote, as provided  in this Division 122, to operate street railways, has the power to make all  needful rules and regulations respecting the operation thereof, including  the power to fix and prescribe rates and charges. But these rates and  charges shall be high enough (1) to produce a revenue sufficient to bear  all costs of maintenance and operation, (2) to meet interest charges on all  bonds or certificates issued on account of these railways, and (3) to  permit the accumulation of a surplus or sinking fund sufficient to meet all  such outstanding bonds or certificates at maturity. Street railways owned  and operated by such a city, or owned by the city and leased for operating  purposes to a private company, may carry passengers and their ordinary  baggage, parcels, packages, and United States mail, and may be utilized for  such other purposes as the city council of the city may deem proper. Such  street railways may be operated by such motive power as the city council  may approve, except steam locomotives.    (Source: Laws 1961, p. 576.)

But no such bonds shall be issued unless the proposition to issue the bonds  is first submitted to the electors of the city and approved by two-thirds  of those voting thereon, nor shall the bonds be issued in an amount in  excess of the cost to the city of the property for which the bonds are  issued, ascertained as provided in this Division 122, and 10% of that cost  in addition thereto.In the exercise of the powers, or any of them, granted by this Division  122, a city has the power to acquire, take, and hold all necessary  property, real, personal, or mixed, for the purposes specified in this  Division 122, either by purchase or condemnation in the manner provided by  law for the taking and condemning of private property for public use.  However, in no valuation of street railway property for the purpose of any  such acquisition, except of street railways now operated under existing  franchises, shall any sum be included as the value of any earning power of  that property or of the unexpired portion of any franchise granted by the  city.

Every city owning, or owning and operating, street railways,  shall keep the books of account for these street railways distinct from  other city accounts and in such manner as to show the true and complete  financial results of the city ownership, or ownership and operation, as the  case may be. These accounts shall be so kept as to show: (1) the actual  cost to the city of street railways owned, (2) all costs of maintenance,  extension, and improvement, (3) all operating expenses of every  description, in case of city operation, (4) the amount set aside for  sinking fund purposes, (5) if water or other service is furnished for the  use of the street railways without charge, as nearly as possible, the value  of this service, and also the value of any similar service rendered by the  street railways to any other city department without charge, (6) reasonable  allowances for interest, depreciation, and insurance, and (7) estimates of  the amount of taxes that would be chargeable against the property if owned  by a private corporation. The city council shall print annually for public  distribution, a report showing the financial results, in the form specified  in this section, of the city ownership, or ownership and operation.The accounts of those street railways, shall be examined at least once a  year by a licensed Certified Public Accountant permitted to perform audits under the Illinois Public Accounting Act, who shall report to the city council the  results of his examination. This accountant shall be selected in  such manner as the city council may direct, and he shall receive for his  services such compensation, to be paid out of the income from those street  railways, as the city council may prescribe.
