Charles River Bridges Report Opposes Immediate City Alterations
Washington Feb 12 The Board of Army Officers reports on Charles River bridges. It says West Boston and Craigie openings can remain small but Charles River and Warren bridges should be widened when bridges are rebuilt to allow free navigation for vessels over 700 tons. The board notes limited anchorage in the basin and that river flow is needlessly obstructed by the city bridges. It recommends no current city expenditures but urges modernized repairs when required, aligning with recent starvard bridge practices.
