Tremont and Boylston Street Tracks Act Published
The act authorizes the West End Street Railway and its agent to replace surface tracks on Tremont street between Boylston and Scollay Square and on Boylston between Park Square and Tremont for street cars. Locations are set by Boston's Board of Aldermen and may be revoked like other locations. The bill repeals conflicting sections and sets conditions for effect in 1899.

He asserts revocable locations, payment of subway tolls, local ownership of the company, and that offers of $1,000,000 were not intended as a public acceptance.
