BOSTON COMMON
TRAFFIC VICTIM
Cherished Historic Fea
tures To Be Attended
To Meet Conditions
BOSTON, Jan. 13.—Boston is pre
pyririg to alter some of its most cher
is.?3e*A historic features to meet the
demands of modern conditions. Small
k> rips are to be sliced from Boston
f osimon, training ground for troops
mi Revolutionary days, and arcading
the tower of the Old South Meeting
Houst, where the famous “tea par
ty* was hatched, is contemplated.
I aJffic problems, acute in this city of
n. now “cow-lane” streets, in each
put are responsible.
The paring of the Common on two
side* of its 3-acre area has been sanc
tioned only after the overcoming of
*ior<jr-standing opposition by those who
ftcld that no considerations of mod
ern development should disturb this
r<-.£vstionary landmark and present
day breathing space in the city’s cen
ter. Several years ago the voters,
tarsed down a proposal to shrink the
•mmon in order to swell the
otrr-ets, but in the recent city elec
tion the voters in all but two wards
(teribwed in favor of widening the
streets from Common lands. The two
winlt which opposed the plan are in
Ciuaxlestown, seat of another historic
. «tarrne, Bunker Hill Monument.
Compromised Cut
Under the plan, which is a compro- :
miss arranged between the street
commissioners and the Boston Com-'
society, Tremont and Boylston
stiwif.s, which bound the Common on
t* of its sides', will be widened to a
maximum of 43 feet instead of 50 to
SO fvet as first proposed. This will
be accomplished without sacrifice of
greensward or trees, as the cuts will
made from the broad malls of the
Common. The compromise plan car
ried with it an agreement that no
fonnw invasion of the Common
would be made.
Boston Common was bought in
T 643 by Governor Winthrop and oth
ers as a common cow pasture and
training ground, and was one of sev
eral .such tracts of communal lands
aiu; plianting grounds. Today it is
the sole remainder of these ancient
c«nn>ns, other holdings hating pass
ed into private hands.
It was on Boston Common that
®en<»iutjonary soldiers drilled; from
'ids 'nmits at Park Square, then the'
Buck Bay in fact as well as in name
and now “made land,” the British
souried for Lexington on April 19,'
XTIS. On the Common the British'
■Mastered their forces to attack Bun-'
ker Hill and British artillerymen set'
thftir guns on Flagstaff Hill during
’She seige of Boston. Colonial expe- [
<btions set out against Louisburg and '
Quebec from the old Common, and
Massachusetts regiments assembled;
prior to going to the front in ■
.the Cival war. .
kOld Church Proposal.
’ The proposal to cut into the Old 1
South Meeting House which was built
ua 1729 to obtain partial relief from
traffic congestion on Washington
xtn>et, is still under consideration.
lUy or Peters approved the idea; the
(Me South Association, guardians of
She edifice fell in with the plans un
■dhtr certain conditions, and the street
aemrnissi oners reported in favor of
tbe change. The conditions named by
the association, however, including a
demrind for payment for the property,
whoeh is in the section of highest val
uation, have delayed acceptance.
<T7nder the plan the main part of
Bhe church, in which the colonists
worked out plans for the “tea party”
and which was later used by the Brit
ish as a riding school during the
■sftege of Boston, would not be dis-
Htarrbed. The tower which juts out
some twenty feet from the front of
the -edifice, would be arcaded to pro
vide a passage for foot traffic, the
wtreet line would be extended to run
Cush with the tower front and the
sidewalk .moved back to lead directly
5S® the arcade. An additional 20 feet
street space at this point would
«a;se considerably the crush of traffic
