...restriction of parking within 20 feet on either side of eight entrances to the University Yard, and the limiting of parking time to 20 minutes during the day, on the south side of Massachusetts Avenue between Holyoke and Bow Streets, are provisions of a new amendment to the Traffic Ordinances, which will be voted on by the Cambridge City Council some time this month or in January. The amendment, which is now in the committee, was prepared by Mr. Russell Cazmay of 12 Plympton Street, Cambridge, on the request of the University officials...
...Plympton and Mount Auburn streets certainly deserves immediate attention. We part time citizens of this lively neighborhood of tooting horns and screeching brakes have often wondered that so intelligent a community should be so unheedful of its health, for this corner is not unique in the Cambridge Boston traffic tangled.

...suppose that if something were done, it would deprive the student body of a great diversion, but some day one of us is going to get hurt and then things will seem a great deal different. Meanwhile this corner remains a constant and serious menace to traffic, and stands as a shining example of the much touted protection that we are paying taxes for. DURYEA H. JONES...
