Constellation Similarity Assertions

The 1909 City Council served during the final tenure of Mayor Tom L. Johnson, and prior to Home Rule. At this time, council was embroiled in the controversy over municipal ownership of Cleveland's street railways and the $.03 fare. The controversy was settled with voter approval in 1910 of the compromise "Tayler Grant" which called for "service at cost," a $.03 fare, and city supervision of the Cleveland Electric Railway Company, reorganized as the Cleveland Railway Company.
