City Council Actions Seek Grand Trunk Terminal in Boston
The Boston City Council, in a series of unanimous votes, urged the Grand Trunk railroad to locate a terminal in Boston and opposed State lease deals with the New Haven railroad for Commonwealth dock. It approved city loans and appropriations for hospital repairs, Eastern avenue wharf reconstruction, Old Colony avenue widening, and transit route studies. It also delayed a $5,000 public celebration fund draw and considered pensioning city workers amid projected costs.
