Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Bridge to Cambridge Across the Charles River Basin From West Chester Park: Hearing Before the Committee on Harbors and Lands, March 28, 1887 The proposition before you is for such legislation as will enable that basin to be bridged. The expanse of two and a. Half miles of water between these two great cities has remained unbridged for ninety-three years. The West Boston bridge was Opened for the first time in 1793, and from that day to this, that large water basin has remained without any means of communication across it between West Boston bridge at one end, and the bridge in Brighton at Cottage Farm Station, at the other end. Meantime these two cities have grown, Cambridge from a popula tion of twenty-four hundred to sixty thousand, and Boston from a population of only eighteen thousand and odd to nearly or quite four hundred thousand. I need not waste your time by stating how this bridge will shorten the distance between the two cities, when you consider for a moment that upon this broad avenue, and upon its tributary avenues running from one city to the other (and the small map which has been laid before you shows these small the north side of Charles River, in Cambridge and in Somerville.

This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report by the Commission Appointed to Investigate the Subject of the Annexation of Certain Neighboring Cities and Towns to the City of Boston Muddy River district, not including the area of the low district east of the Brookline station, is acres. The Charles River basin is too large for its outlet, at the present time, and this difficulty will increase instead of diminish if any further encroachments are permitted by increasing the width or number of the bridges between Boston and Cambridge and Charlestown, and the force and velocity of the currents in the tidal basin, already too small, will be still further reduced with a corresponding increase of deposits. This basin not only receives a large proportion of the sewage of Boston and Cambridge, but also the sewage of Brighton, Watertown, Newton and Waltham. The sewage of these towns is not very large, as they have no system of public water supply; but the introduction of water will be accompanied with systems of sewerage by which the amount will be greatly increased. The natural source of supply for these towns is the Charles River; and, as it is evident that a considerable amount of its water will first be contaminated by use, and then returned to the river as far below the towns as possible, the effect will be to increase the objectionable accumulations in the basin. There are several plans by which such a nuisance could be abated, - one is the construction of a marginal sewer to intercept the sewage and convey it to a point where it will be dissipated at once by the action of the tidal currents; another to remove the accumulations by dredging; either of these plans would be exceedingly expensive. The size of the basin might be reduced to such an extent as only to leave a channel through which the current would run with such velocity that there could be no deposits. As the several commissions on Boston Harbor have advanced the theory that preservation of this basin intact is necessary for the protection of the inner harbor from shoaling, and its capacity should be increased rather than diminished, this plan is not feasible. Under these circumstances, the manner in which the sewage of districts under consideration can be conveyed to some less objectionable place than the Charles River basin' becomes of the greatest importance.
