Newton Street Railway Rivalry Shapes Newton Aldermen Vote
The Boston & Worcester Street Railway gains a fair chance to complete its right of way between Boston and Worcester amid a contest in Newton. The Boston Elevated plans to take Worcester cars from Newton to Boston via Boylston Street and Brookline, while Newton Aldermen consider renewing a granted through line on Boylston Street. Complications include control shifts to the Boston Elevated, ties between A D Claflin and Commonwealth Avenue, and heavyweight stockholders like James I Shaw backing the Worcester line. The alderman vote is set for February 4 as promoters seek railroad commission approval.
