June 20, 1911: Two Plans Being Made: One is for a Tunnel Via Hill and Washington Sts., Other, Is Grade Crossing

The engineers who are making the survey for the connection of the Boston & Maine and New Haven railroad tracks, it is said, are preparing two plans—one for the construction of a tunnel and the other for crossings at grade.
