Subway Remedies and Public Rights in Boston Transit
George Fred Williams argues against 1895 amendments to the rapid transit law. He warns the Legislature that removing time limits and granting broad contracts to a single company risks taxpayers paying interest and sinking fund costs, with the city losing control of the subway and mall uses.
