f Eliot Street. Wood StreetBrighton Street. Water StreetDunster Street. Crooked StreetHolyoke Street. Besides these principal streets were sundry highways. The highway to Watertown extended from Brattle Square through Brattle Street to Mason Street; and thence was identical with the Path from Charlestown to Watertown. From this highway three others diverged southerly: one, to the ox-marsh, passing near the site of the Brattle Mansion-house; one to Windmill-hill, now Ash Street; and one to Watertown marsh, not far westerly from the residence of Samuel Batchelder, Esq. The first and last of these three highways were long ago closed. Mason Street was early distinguished as the highway from Charlestown to Watertown. The original highway to the Fresh Pond followed the track of the present Garden Street, Wyeth Street, and Vassall Lane, except that it passed across the common from Harvard Square to its northwesterly corner. As far as to Wyeth Street, Garden Street was called both
t is, the present Mount Auburn Street, between Elmwood Avenue and Brattle Square. At a subsequent meeting, Feb. 17, 1806, the other party triumphed, and the committee was discharged. The subject was again discussed, Nov. 17, 1806, Mr. Craigie having offered to give the land and make the road so far as it crossed his farm, if the town would establish a new road from Gerry's corner to a point on Brattle Street, nearly opposite to his house; Such a road would continue the connection with Mason Street, over which and Cambridge Street, already projected, it was designed to conduct the travel toward Lechmere's Point. the town voted in favor of establishing such a road, and appointed a Committee to procure the discontinuance of the road from Gerry's corner to Brattle's garden. On the 27th of May, 1807, the Selectmen laid out the road, as desired by Mr. Craigie; but it does not appear that the town accepted it. A year later, May 2, 1808, the West Boston Bridge interest was again in the a
the town will take any measures in relation to the proposed inclosure of Cambridge Common. Another meeting was held, Nov. 1, 1830, when it was voted by a majority of 299 against 211, to postpone indefinitely the further consideration of the question, whether the town will petition the Legislature so far to repeal the act authorizing the enclosure of the Common, as to secure to the public the right to travel over said Common by the road passing by Dr. Hill's and the late Deacon Moore's Mason Street. to the road leading to Canal Bridge, Cambridge Street. and also the right to travel over said Common by the road heretofore called the Cambridge and Concord Turnpike. Although the town thus declined to ask for even a partial repeal of the obnoxious act, it appears that individuals presented a petition to the General Court; for at a meeting of the subscribers for enclosing and ornamenting Cambridge Common, Jan. 11, 1832, it was voted, to request the Hon. Judge Fay and Prof. Ashmun to
