Electric Cars on Concord Avenue.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The proposed widening of Concord avenue by the West End Road for their new line of electric cars, is a matter of considerable interest to the University. If the plan is carried into effect, the row of large spruce trees, which border the observatory grounds on the Concord avenue side, must be cut down. These trees are greatly valued by the observatory, not only for their beauty, but also because they shut off the grounds so completely from the street, and at night prevent the glare of the electric lights from interfering with the use of the telescopes.

There is to be a hearing before the board of aldermen tonight to consider the obections offered to the measure by the officials of the observatory and the citizens of Cambridge.
