The Wellesley & Boston Street Rail- way Company built a line from West Newton to Wellesley in 1893 and in 1896 joined with the Newton Street Railway Company in double tracking Washington street to Nonantum square.
The Newtonville & Watertown Street Railway Company laid a track between those places in 1893, and sub- sequently was merged with the New- ton & Boston Street Railway Company.
In 1895 the Commonwealth Avenue Street Railway Company laid its tracks in the recently constructed boul- evard of that name and furnished trans- portation to Norumbega Park, which was built in 1898.
The Boston & Worcester Street Rail- way Company obtained a location in Boylston street in 1901 under condi- tions requiring the widening of the street to ninety feet at its own expense, and large contributions towards land damages, and the installation and main- tenance of a system of street lighting.
The advantages of consolidation of these various companies was soon real- ized, and in 1894, the Wellesley and Boston and the Commonwealth avenue companies were merged with the New- ton Street Railway Company. In 1907 the name of the Newton Street Railway Company was changed to the Middle- sex and Boston Street Railway Com- pany, and later it absorbed the Newton & Boston Company. The Middlesex and Boston Company also took over the properties of the South Middlesex

Street Railway Co., the Waltham Street Railway Co., the Westboro and Hopkinton and the Natick and Cochi- tuate Street Railway companies, and now operates 132 miles of track in nineteen cities and towns.
The Boston Elevated Strcet Railway Company has about eight-tenths of a mile of double track at Newton enter- ing Nonantum square from Brighton and from Watertown, giving ample transportation service to Boston in both directions. In addition, this company takes over the cars of the Middlesex and Boston Company at the Boston end of Commonwealth avenue, and of the Boston & Worcester Company at the Chestnut Hill end of Boylston street.
The sewer system of the city has been entirely constructed during the past twenty-five years. While the matter was agitated and discussed for some years before, the problem of disposing of the sewage matter was too great for
the city to solve alone, and no action was taken until the state established the Metropolitan sewer district and in- cluded Newton in the Metropolitan South District system, with its main outlet into tide water at Moon Island, in Boston harbor.
With this matter settled, rapid steps were taken by the city government to construct a system of lateral sewers to enter the Metropolitan main sewer in the Charles River valley. The separate system, so-called, was adopted, nothing but sewage matter being allowed in the sewer pipes, the street drainage being cared for in another manner. About 120 miles of sewers have been con- structed to date, at a cost of about $2,100,000.
Sewer assessments are levied upon estates abutting upon or using these sewers at the rate of 15 cents per foot of frontage, and five and one-half mills per square foot for the area within 180 feet of the sewer, or for the area which

can be drained into the sewer, if less than that distance. It was expected when these figures were established that the sewer assessments would about equal one-half the cost of the sewer work. Changes in the hours of labor and increases in wages and the price of materials, however, have cut down the proportion paid by assessments to about thirty per cent of the total cost.
As the result of the work and report
and from Boston to the south and west.
The widening of Washington street in consequence of the depression of the railroad and the abolition of grade crossings has already been mentioned.
A third improvement in the highways of the city, altho perhaps, one which will be of greater importance to the fu- ture than to the present, was the widen- ing in 1901 of Boylston street, due to the location of the tracks of the Boston

of a Boulevard Commission appointed in 1892, Commonwealth avenue, five miles in length, and 120 feet wide, with two roadways and a central reservation for street railway tracks was com- menced in 1895 and completed two years later at a total cost of approxi- mately a half million dollars. This great avenue has been a great advertisement to the city, for through it passes to a great extent, all the automobile traffic to
and Worcester Street Railway Com- pany.
When that beautiful part of the city known as Oak Hill comes into its own and is developed, as it should be devel- oped, Boylston street will become one of the most important thoroughfares in the municipality.
While Newton is, in fact, one great park, the city has not neglected to pro- vide for the future in the way of parks
28
and recreation grounds. 271 acres are set aside by the city for these purposes, and the Metropolitan park district in- cludes 119 acres additional.
The playground movement is heartily endorsed in the community, and the Newton Centre Playground was estab- lished many years ago. In more recent years, large playgrounds have been established at West Newton and New- ton Highlands, and smaller ones at Newton Upper Falls, Newton Lower Falls, Waban, Nonantum and New- tonville.
The moral and religious side of life has not been neglected, and there has been a very large and vigorous growth in both the Catholic and Protestant demoninations.
The Catholic churches at Newton Centre and at Newton Upper Falls have erected large and handsome churches, and the Catholic Church at Newton, has enlarged its church edifice and erected and maintains a large paro- chial school on its premises.
Nine Protestant churches were or- ganized during this period, six of them erecting church buildings, and six of the older churches have erected new and handsome religious homes.
From this somewhat inadequate summary of the accomplishments of the past quarter century, it will be seen that Newton has not only provided for its present needs and convenience, but has planned wisely and well for the future well being of posterity.
