Transit trustees outline Atlantic avenue service changes
Trustees released an official statement on plans to cut Dudley street Atlantic avenue Sullivan square service to two minutes in the tunnel and run North station South station shuttles on Atlantic avenue every three minutes. The reform would lift tunnel car flow from 140 to 210 per hour while preserving frequent Atlantic avenue service via transfers at North station. A surface line from Rowe’s wharf to North station via Atlantic avenue and other streets will be restored to its former route terminating at North station after sewer work on Leverett Street.

Meins Says Zone System Not Best for City
Walter R. Meins, president of the United Improvement Association, states he cannot speak for the group and doubts a zone system would serve the greatest good. He recalls an 80 year old debate when street railway consolidations formed, noting the legislature opposed zones over a uniform fare. He cautions the present situation is unprecedented and may need drastic action only as a last resort. He cites John F. Macy, chairman of the association's finance committee, as a former figure in the discussion.
