Lobby for Direct Car Line Denied by Elevated Officials
Public Service Commission hearing delved into legal fees and lobbying tied to the Elevated car service. Bay State President Robert S. Goff opposed a direct trolley line from East Boston to Revere and a nickel fare, citing financial injustice. Auditor Harry Neal testified the firm Gaston Snow Saltonstall billed $128000 with no breakdown yet. Hyde Park line would mean a $100000 annual loss for the Elevated.
