From the above it will be seen that all of our mayors have been New England men, and that of the e
permanent usefulness. Messrs. Van Brunt & Howe were selected as architects. Ground was broken for the library on May 1, 1888, and on June 29, 1889, the keys of the building were transferred to the city government. The exercises of the dedication were held in the main hall-way of the building, and consisted of music; prayer by Rev. Alexander McKenzie, D. D.; presentation of deed of gift, by Francis J. Parker; acceptance of the same by the mayor, Hon. Henry H. Gilmore; remarks by Hon. S. L. Montague, president of the board of trustees, Charles W. Eliot, president of Harvard University, Samuel S. Green, librarian of the Worcester Public Library, and Thomas Wentworth Higginson. The building is of the Romanesque style of southern France, with exterior of Dedham stone, and dark sandstone trimmings. It has two divisions, one, partially fireproof, devoted to the convenience of the public, with waiting-hall, reading-room, reference library, and memorial and administrative rooms; the

The conservative management of its supervising committee has also in no small degree been an incentive to the superintendent and the corps of able instructors. Its growth has been rapid, strong, and healthy, and with such management the successful maintenance of the school is assured. The present members of this committee are Hon. William E. Russell, Col. T. W. Higginson, Hon. Samuel L. Montague, Mr. Andrew McF. Davis, Mr. E. B. Hale, and Mr. Robert Cowen. The school has gained an almost national reputation for its eminently practical, progressive, and unique features. During the eight years of its existence it has grown from a mere educational experiment to an indispensable factor in the school system, and its methods have been copied by cities throughout the country, wherever an effort is made to keep abreast with modern educational principles.

The Charles River Company laid tracks also from Porter's Station to Hampshire Street, and from Union Square, Somerville, through Springfield Street, connecting with Hampshire Street tracks at Inman Street; they also built tracks through Brookline Street. The first board of directors was composed of C. E. Raymond, Emmons Raymond, Daniel U. Chamberlin, Henry O. Houghton, Fred S. Davis, Henry F. Woods, of Somerville, Samuel L. Montague, James H. Hilton, and Edmund Reardon. Charles E. Raymond was president, and Daniel U. Chamberlin treasurer. The Cambridge and Charles River roads became a part of the West End system in 1887. The West End now controls practically all the street-car lines centring in Boston; it has adopted the overhead electric system, and is furnishing service and equipment unsurpassed by any street railway in America. To illustrate the extent of the travel between Boston and Cambridge, Willi
