BLACKSTONE'S " EXCELLENT SPRING 295 Mr. Henry H. Edes read the following paper, written by Mr. Michael J. Canavan, on — MR. BLACKSTONE'S "EXCELLENT SPRING." When Governor Winthrop's scurvy-stricken party of Puritans arrived at Charlestown from Salem towards the end of June, 1630, after a long voyage of eighteen weeks in cramped quarters, they set up booths and tents on the slope of Town Hill ; and not know- ing how to conduct a camp properly, in a short time " there was hardly a hut in which someone was not sick or dead." "And although people were generally very loving and pityful yet the sickness did so prevail that the whole were not able to tend the sick as they should be tended, upon which many died and were buried about Town Hill." " They notioned generally no water good for a town but running water," which they had not found in that locality. Mr. Blackstone dwelling on the other side of Charles River at a place called Shawmutt, where he had a cottage not far from a place called Blackstone's Point, came and acquainted the governor of an excellent spring there, withal inviting and soliciting him thither. Whereupon after the death of Mr. Johnson and divers others the governor with Mr. Wilson and the greater part of the church removed thither, whither also the frame of the governor's house in preparation at this town was to the discontent of some carried when people began to build their houses against the winter, and the place was called Boston.

  • [email protected] Re: Dock Square Garage
    February 22, 2019 Mr. Michael Sinatra Boston Planning and Development Agency Boston City Hall Via email: [email protected] Re: Dock Square Garage Dear Mr. Sinatra, The Boston Preservation Alliance is Boston’s primary, non-profit advocacy organization that protects and promotes the use of historic buildings and landscapes in all of the city’s neighborhoods. With 40 Organizational Members, 125 Corporate Members, and a reach of 35,000 friends and supporters we represent a diverse constituency advocating for the thoughtful evolution of the city and celebration of its unique character. We appreciate the opportunity to offer comments on projects that impact the historic character of the city. The Alliance has participated in a number of design review and public meetings as this proposal has evolved. We have provided feedback at those meetings and we submitted formal comments to the BPDA last April strongly opposing the project. We see little in the revised proposal that addresses our previously stated concerns. Though the proposal has been changed, we feel it remains an inappropriate and unacceptable intrusion into this most historically significant area. Indicative of how our organization feels is the fact that when the most recent renderings were shown to our Board of Directors there was a collective gasp and unanimous shaking of heads, even from many architects highly active in new construction in the city. It’s inconceivable how such an egregious affront to the central and character-defining historic assets of this city could even be considered by the BPDA. Let me be clear, we are not advocating to protect a 1970s parking garage.

Gordon Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on May 21, 2015, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Transportation Abstract Many transit agencies are facing budgetary, institutional, physical infrastructure, and vehicle constraints, which all tend to restrict agency service growth. This research proposes strategies that allow transit agencies to ease these constraints to enable growth through increased private sector involvement. It suggests that the primary attractiveness of engaging the private sector is not to provide the same service at a lower cost, but to significantly increase service capacity and quality while facing these constraints. In the recent past, U.S. advocates of private production of transit services have generally promoted contracting primarily as a cost saving method.
