West End Residents Protest Elevated Transit Franchise
Prominent Ward 8 residents filled the aldermanic chamber to oppose granting the Boston Elevated Railroad Company a franchise for elevated tracks from the Charles River Basin to Causeway Street. Councilman Kiley accused the Legislature push of being owned by the railroad and questioned the hearing timeline and framing of the bill. He cited petitions totaling $20,000,000 from local property owners and explained the board’s power to approve or reject the petition, with an appeal process to the railroad commissioners if rejected. The committee postponed action to next Tuesday at noon.
