Description:Excerpt from Address of His Excellency, Alexander H. Bullock: To the Council, Upon the Question of Improving the Flats in South Bay: And Accompanying Documents To the Honorable Council: For more than a quarter of a century the subject of improving the harbor of the city of Boston, and of bringing into some actual use the flats therein belonging to the Commonwealth, has been before the legislature and has arrested the public attention. It is many years since a commission, composed of some of our ablest citizens, after a thorough investigation and a hearing of all parties interested, came to the conclusion that the Commonwealth was the proprietor in fee of a large quantity of flats, which it had a right to dispose of as it would dispose of any other valuable property. From that day down to the present, commissioners have been from time to time appointed to take charge of the subject and to make suggestions as to the most expedient course for the Commonwealth to pursue in protecting at the same time its own interests in this property and in improving the harbor of Boston. A number of reports have been made, and considerable expense has been incurred; but nothing has ever been effectually done in this important field of action. It would not be profitable, nor is it necessary, to go into an investigation of the reasons of their delay in a matter of so much consequence. Meanwhile, the Commonwealth did proceed with vigor in improving the territory known as the Back Bay, and although this remarkable enterprise met with the most determined opposition and encountered difficulties of the gravest character, it steadily progressed after being once under way, and the result has been most satisfactory. A territory which had become an intolerable nuisance has been filled up with clear gravel. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
