12() WORCESTER COUNTY HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. [1900. 



Mr. Marble spoke of roads through which electric cars run, 

 saying they ought to be wider, so that the travel can pass on 

 both sides of the tracks. The tracks should not be on one side, 

 on account of the danger they are to the people who live on 

 that side of the road, especially if the houses are close to the 

 road. Roads through which the cars run are not as a rule wide 

 enough. They should certainly not be less than five rods. 



Mr. Hadwen spoke of the complaints that the people living 

 on Commonwealth avenue in Boston have been making on 

 account of the dust, which in the absence of snow this winter has 

 been a fearful nuisance.
