The directors of the Harvard Square Business Men's Association will hold a meeting this morning to make plans for their campaign to have the Harvard Square subway rotunda removed. A public hearing on the question will beheld before the committee on street railways in room 433 of the State House, Boston, at 10.30 next Thursday morning.
The dispute over the rotunda is an old one. A year ago the business men of the Square tried to get the legislature to pass a bill abolishing it as a menace to traffic. The problem was studied by Chief Engineer Henry W. Hayes, and the results of his investigation embodied in a bill introduced in the lower house by Representative Arthur F. Blanchard '04 of Cambridge. His bill, providing for a reduction in size of the present structure, was referred to the committee on street railways, where it has remained for over a year. The Boston Elevated Railway has steadily opposed the change, even going so far as to threaten to discontinue subway service between Central and Harvard Squares.
