ROCKFORD STREET RAILWAY COMPANY.
The Rockford Street Railway Company was organized in the latter part of 1880, witli a capital of $20,000. January 21, 1881, the secre- tary of state authorized Anthony Haines, Charles O. Upton and James Ferguson as con- missioners to open books for subscriptions to stock. The original stockholders were: An- thony Haines, H. H. Robinson, James Ferguson, C. O. Upton, C. M. Brazee, R. F. Crawford, Levi Rhoades, N. E. Lyman, George H. Trufant, J. S. Ticknor, A. D. Forbes, E. L. Woodruff, John Barnes and John Lake. Of this number three are living : H. H. Robinson, R. F. Crawford and John Barnes. The first directorate was chosen February 9, 1881, at the office of Hol- land, Ferguson & Co., and consisted of the fol- lowing named gentlemen: C. M. Brazee, A. D. Forbes, Levi Rhoades, C. O. Upton, R. F. Craw- ford, A. Haines and John Barnes. On the fol- lowing day the directors elected A. Haines, president ; Levi Rhoades, vice-president ; H. H. Robinson, secretary ; G. H. Trufant, treasurer. The company was organized under the general corporation act of April 18, 1872, and a charter was obtained for ninety-nine years. June 27,

HISTORY OF WINNEBAGO COUNTY
1SS1, a franchise was granted by the city coun- cil, and the promoters had no difficulty in secur- ing the right of way. The records of the com- pany, now in possession of H. H. Robinson, con- tain this modest paragraph, under date of July 6, 1SS1 :
"Moved by A. D. Forbes that the company proceed to make necessary arrangements to built a street railway from or near the corner of Montague and South Main streets in South Rockford to a point at or near where South Fourth street crosses the Chicago & Northwest- ern railway in East Rockford, Ill. Motion sec- onded and carried."
The original track began on Fourth avenue, at its intersection with Fourth street, running to Kishwaukee, thence to State, from State to South Main, extending on the latter to its inter- section with Montague. September 26, 18S1, the capital stock was raised to $40,000, and Decem- ber 27, 1883, the capital was increased to $80,- 000. With a larger fund at its disposal, the company extended its track to the north gate of the fair ground. This line, however, was authorized by the original franchise. The east side line, was also extended on Fourth avenue to Seventh street, thence to the Northwestern railroad crossing. The company operated a double track on State street. When the first line was nearly completed an amusing question arose whether horses or mules should be used to draw the cars. The directorate was a tie, and President Haines gave the casting vote in favor of the horse. The company employed no conductors. Passengers were supposed to drop their nickel or ticket in the box.
