Counting the Cost of Boston Rapid Transit Plan
The city of Boston cannot fund rapid transit under the last Legislature's act. The $9,000,000 loan limit will not cover right of way land and buildings on viable routes, nor the double damages for approaches and bridges. Voters likely will reject the act as is, since remodeling by the new Legislature is uncertain and costs raise further issues.

Call to abolish the Police Board and curb its power
The author argues the Board of Police should be abolished not the people behind it. If reform is impossible under a Republican legislature, the board must be restricted and made answerable to a body representing the people. The writer urges Governor Russell to investigate the so called outrage and seek fixes until laws change to prevent recurrence.
