Boston Common Council Backs Subway Plan Against Repeal
The Boston Common Council endorsed the subway project, opposing repeal of the 1894 subway act. It argued the subway offers a practical transit solution at a cost not burdening taxpayers and would allow surface rail to continue without financial strain. Debate highlighted criticism of the act as railroaded and blamed public misperception after contractors damaged the Public Garden.
