Electrics for Parks Hearings on Stoneham to Boston Line
A street railways hearing was held on a petition by James H Murphy and others for a Metropolitan Park Commission project to build a street railway through the Middlesex Fells from Central Square Stoneham to Sullivan Square Boston. The bill proposes a $300000 appropriation and a 25 year lease to existing railways with a five cent fare for the entire length.
