Speaking of James Couzens, somewhat off-topic, but I saw a picture of the proposed subway system from 1918.

The City Council approved the plan [[had funding and everything in place for construction), but Couzens vetoed it. City Council's attempt to overrule his veto then fell one vote short.

Just imagine how much different the city would be today had that plan been approved...
