Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Special Committee Appointed to Investigate the Relations Between Cities and Towns and Street Railway Companies: February, 1898 The history of street railway legislation in Massachusetts shows the evolution of the law concerning them. The first grant made by the Legislature for the construction and operation of such a road in the public highways was that to the Metropolitan Railroad Com pany of Boston, created by authority of chapter 353 of the Acts of the year 1853, approved May 21 of that year. A similar charter was granted by chapter 383 of the Acts of the same year, approved May 25, to the Cambridge Street Railroad Company. These two companies, created at nearly the same time, were the only ones char tered in that year, but in the years immediately following many special charters were granted. The earlier of these are identical in form, and provide for certain privileges in the streets, and authorize the city authorities to impose certain restrictions upon the corpora tions. These charters provide that the mayor and aldermen shall determine in what streets the railway company may lay its tracks, the distance from the sidewalk at which the rails shall be laid, the grade and the gauge; and they contain, also, a provision that the mayor and aldermen shall at all times have power to make such regulations as to the speed of the cars and mode of use of the tracks as public safety and convenience may require. The company is given power to construct, maintain and use such tracks on the location granted by the municipal authorities; subject, however, to a pro vision that the existence of the corporation shall be limited to a period of fifty years from the date of the passage of the act. In the next year supplementary acts were passed for both of these companies, providing that at any time after the expiration of one year from the opening of the road for use the mayor and aldermen may by a majority vote determine that any of the track which the board sees fit shall be discontinued, and thereupon the tracks of the company shall forthwith be taken up and removed in conformity with the vote or order of the mayor and aldermen. In these supplementary acts it is also provided that notice shall be given to the abutters before any grant is made, and that rates of fare within the city of Boston shall never exceed five cents, unless by consent of the mayor and alder men. From this time the section relating to the revocation of the location was inserted in each new charter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of public transit is an integral part of both business and urban history in late nineteenth-century America. The author begins this study in 1880, when public transportation in large American cities was provided by numerous, competing horse-car companies with little or no public control of operation. By 1912, when the study concludes, a monopoly in each city operated a coordinated network of electric-powered streetcars and, in the largest cities, subways, which were regulated by city and state agencies. The history of transit development reflects two dominant themes: the constant pressure of rapid growth in city population and area and the requirements of the technology developed to service that growth. The case studies here include three of the four cites that had rapid transit during this period. Each case study examines, first, the mechanization of surface lines and, second, the implementation of rapid transit. New York requires an additional chapter on steam-powered, elevated railroads, for early population growth there required rapid transit before the invention of electric technology. Urban transit enterprise is viewed within a clear and familiar pattern of evolution--the pattern of the last half of the nineteenth century, when industries with expanding markets and complex, costly processes of production and distribution adopted new strategy and structure, administered by a new class of professional managers.
