Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book meticulously examines the protracted struggle over street railway services in Chicago from its 1850s origins to its resolution in 1907. The author documents the conflict between the city's desire for control and fair pricing, and the efforts of private companies to maximize…their profits through franchise extensions and questionable financial practices. The book provides a nuanced portrayal of the political and legal battles that unfolded, highlighting the role of public outcry, lawsuits, and the evolving legal landscape. The author deftly places this case study within the broader context of the debate over the regulation of public utilities in the United States. Throughout, the book offers valuable insights into the dynamics of urban governance, the interplay between public opinion and corporate power, and the enduring quest for equitable and efficient public services. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
