Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the alleged corruption and fraud that took place in the passage of the Baltimore City Railroad ordinance. Specifically, it focuses on the political machinations and bribery that led to the City Passenger Railway Ordinance, also known as the Travers Ordinance, being passed by the Baltimore City Council in 1860. The author examines the ordinance's significance within the broader context of political corruption in 1860s America and the history of Baltimore's streetcar system. By analyzing the testimony from various individuals involved in the scandal, including city council members, the author paints a vivid picture of the illicit dealings that took place, highlighting both the audacity of those involved and the systemic issues that allowed for such corruption to flourish. Ultimately, this book serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked political power and the importance of transparency and accountability in government.
