Excerpt from Report of the Trans Department for the Transit Department for the Year Ending December 31, 1929 On Saturday, December 21, the extension of rapid transit facilities in the Dorchester district, authorized by chapter 480 of the acts of the Legislature of 1923, was opened for public use. For over 25 years the great Dorchester district of Boston had been urging and advocating improvement in street rail way transportation. This agitation had taken the form of protests by individuals and groups, by boards of trade, improvement organizations and public meetings. For years investigations, studies and surveys had been made under legislative authority, but until the passage of chapter 480 of the acts of 1923 nothing was accomplished beyond the investigation stage.
