SMALLER MORE BEAUTIFUL SUBWAY ROTUNDA IN SQUARE

The subway rotunda in Harvard Square is about to be reduced to two thirds its present size. The Cambridge City Council has approved the plans for the alterations.

The process will involve an expense of $30,000, one half to be borne by the city of Cambridge and the other by the Boston Elevated Co.

The rotunda will be reduced, and at the same time made more attractive. It was felt that not only was the edifice too cumbersome for present traffic problems, but that it was most ungainly as well.

In its new form, it will be somewhat different in shape, and on the Boylston Street and College Yard sides will have overhanging roofs.

Professor C. B. Breed of the University made a study of the subject for the Harvard Square Business Mens Association, and it is upon the suggestions in his plan that the renovations are being done.
