THE ET CETERA CHRONICLES - WE THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME

WE THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME - In April 1906, a group of Dublin’s most outstanding business leaders filed a petition to establish a street car franchise in Dublin.  The incorporators, who included J.M. Finn, B.H. Rawls, E.P. Rentz, J.M. Outler, J.M. Page, T.J. Pritchett, J.S. Simons, Jr., J.D. Smith, J.E. Smith, Jr., G.H. Williams, Clark Grier, William Pritchett, Hal M. Stanley, and J.S. Adams, envisioned a street car line running from the river along Jackson Street to the end of Bellevue and another line running along Jefferson Street.  The project apparently never materialized.
