would be improved, and should have
ample head room.
For these reasons we laid aside this
plan and next considered the plan sug-
gested by the Allen commission, which
raised the tracks at the Union station
twelve feet. On examination this called
for cuts in the streets at Green, Wash
ington, Shrewsbury, Summer, Central,
Thomas, School and Market streets and
Lincoln square, that were more than
we considered necessary. A modifica-
ton of this plan, eliminating any de-
preston of the streets, except where
the grade would he improved was, in
the opinion of your commission, prac-
teal.
The second request of the order Gre
ating this commission was ITO formu-
late q plan for the abolition of said
crossings
In the exercise of this duty. your
commission felt that problem, involv-
ing so many interests, 80 vital to the
welfare of the city, and calling for so
large an expenditure of money, should
not be decided by any off hand judg-
ment, but should receive the same
careful and thoughtful consideration
and investigation we would give it,
were it problem in our own private
business. Having given the subject
such careful consideration and inves-
tigation, we beg leave to offer and rec
ommend the following plan as the best

these difficulties, but the only possible
new location would be through Water.
Grafton and Summer streets
If this route We're to be selected, the
Objectionable underlying strata could
not then be avoided, and the depth to
which the excavations must be carried
would be very much increased, besides
adding to the total length of work re-
CURED. This would also more seriously
disturb the multiplicity of lateral sew
ers that now connect with this channel.
These are not the only difficulties to
contend with, for a depression of the
tracks to the extent proposed would
prohibit the carrying on of the traffic of
the railroads during this construction.
The present railroad locations are not
OF suf1cient width to accommodate the
tracks while the work was proceed
ing, and the facilities for freight trans
fer between the different railroads
must be maintained. This would re-
quire at emporary use of adjoining prop
erty or streets, as was done in Newton.
Philadelphia and other places, but in
this instance such facilities do not ex-
list and cannot be procured without
enormous property damage
The commission of 1890 pronounced
this plan impracticable, and your pres
ent commission agree with that con-
cIuslon. The estimated cost of lower
ing Mill brook alone, and not including
damages, approximates 1880, 900. The
expense OF the changes in the railroad

DEPRESSED TRACKS.

Py this scheme, there are two plans
that have received consideration. One,
partial depression, with the necessary
raising of the streets to obtain suffi-
Gent head room above the tracks, and
the other a depression of the tracks to
the extent that will leave the streets
substantially as they now are. The
amount of depression in either case is
governed chiefly by the AIillbrook
sewer. the main drainage channel of
the city. This sewer crosses the Bos-
ton and Albany railroad short dis
tarce west of the Union station, and
runs nearly parallel with the Boston
ana Maine and Fitchburg Railroad to
a considerable distance above Lincoln
square. To leave this channel undis-
turbed and to provide proper drainage
Tor the depressed railroad locations. Sc
riously affects the grade of the streets
and squares that cross and are contig-
uous to the railroads, with resulting
damage to adjoining property. The
effect upon the streets is shown in the
following table as reported by the All
len commission:
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-01-24

nder this plan, the side track ia.
clllt1es are generally retained but un.
der changed conditions Numerous al.
terations are required in the founda.
lions and reconstruction of buildings
put the most serious consideration. in
the opinion of the commission is the
1dolcal Change required in the grade OF
1mportant streets. For instance. the
inning in front of the Bowker block and
Inc United States Hotel would be about
SIX feet, and at the junction of Bridge
ana Foster streets, eleven feet. Vine
street, at Franklin. would require rails
ing twenty feet. Front street, one of
our most important thoroughfares.
would be filled at the viaduct sixteen
and one-half feet. Washington square
between Grafton and Summer streets
would be raised five feet, and Foster
street, at the viaduct, eighteen and
fourtenths feet.
These are but few of the more i'm
porta1t changes in this locality. and as
We go northeriy we find that Union
street would require raising from a
point south of Exchange street to Lin
coin square, to a height of twelve feet
lot the greater part of the way. Lin
com square. at the railroad tracks
would be raised seven feet. affectine
the grade of the entire, square with in.
tersecting streets
A perusal of the above table will
snow the changes required in the sew
eral streets at their junction with the
railroads, and from which it is seen
that by the carrying out of this plan,
the damage to property and TO the con.
Yenience of a large number of our most
important highways is serious and Of
such detriment that the plan does NOT
commend itself to favorable considera-
ton 'e4 d

more than five feet. On account of the
angle of the street and track, this
bridge would probably have to be of
steel, and should have a clear head
room of not less than fourteen feet.
Inc contemplated widening of this
street should be provided for in the
width of this structure.
summer street should be cut not more
than three feet and seven inches, and
should have stone bridge with not less
IMAM fourteen feet clear head room at
centre.
Bridge street would remain at its
present grade, and have a head room of
tWenty-one feet 1t should be a stone
briage, if possible.
Exchange street would have to be
closed to teams in order to retain the
present track facilities for the Holyoke
Machine Company, and the various in
Gustrles in the vicinity as we'll as the
fltcnpurg freight yard Pedestrians
should be accommodated by arched
passageways under the tracks. Black

more than one foot, which would i'm
prove the grade. 1t should have a.
stone arch with not less than thirteen
feet head room at centre.
