New Boston; a chronicle of progress in developing a greater and finer city--under the auspices of the Boston-1915 movement. the need of more direct communica-tion across the Basin between the widelyseparated Harvard and the new Cam-bridge Bridges;* will soon require addi-tional bridge connections between Bostonand Cambridge. To reduce the cost ofsuch thoroughfares Boston and Cam-bridge should carefully consider thefeasibility of substituting earth cause-ways for poutions of the bridge struc-tures. A third to a half the cost ofcontinuous bridges between the presentembankment lines might be saved bysuch earthworks. Since the presence ofadditional bridges across the Basin willradically change its appearance in anycase, by subdividing it into a series ofsmaller basins, the possibility of usingearth causeways planted with trees, toenhance the appearance and usefulnessof these several basins, is also to be con-sidered. The quadrilateral interspacesbetween the long bridges might be re-deemed from monotony in this manner * The bridges of the heart of London and Paris occuron the average each quarter of a mile. s^.
