Workmen began digging up the sidewalk in front of the Varsity Liquor Store yesterday, to make way for the foundation of a police kiosk for the Square. The new concrete box will rise 18 feet from the street and be equipped with loudspeakers, a heater, and windshield wipers.
Cambridge has planned to build this kiosk for several years, because the old wooden one doesn't give a full view of the Square and is subject to attrition by automobiles. The new structure should be completed by Christmas.
