Want Charles Street Wider
Residents and business men urged Boston street commissioners to widen Charles street by 10 feet between Revere and Beacon on the river side. They argued the link between two centers merits widening and repaving, noting eight years since repaving and a $2,000,000 rise in assessed property value. The church feared mud if repaving lagged. Removal of car tracks was proposed to boost residential development and even support a small hotel.
