Church St. Garage Considers Extension

There are indefinite plans in the air about tearing down the little two-story parking garage now standing on Church St., near the Coop, and building one in its place to hold more cars.

The Church Street Corporation, which took over the management of the 150-car garage last year to prevent it from going out of business, may decide to acquire adjacent land and put up a bigger building. This would undoubtedly help to relieve Cambridge's chronic parking problem.

But Henry H. Cutler, a member of the Corporation, emphasized yesterday that "our immediate plans are to keep the present garage in operation."

Cutler added that a new garage could not operate without some form of subsidization--either from stores near the garage or from the city, in the form of tax relief.
