HAXROX power to pet its program off the ground and into operation with ideas and equipment 20 years newer. The first master plan, which will be based in part on information supplied by the Metropolitan Area Planning Council, will be a generalized one to be updated every year. Rapid transit extensions to Reading and South Braintree wiil get under way this year, and the Southwest Corridor route from Columbus Roxbury, as far as Forest Hills undoubtedly will be included in the plan. It is expected that station locations on the Old Colony Line to Braintree and the point where it will connect in Boston will have been determined before that time.

There are possibilities which have a substantial degree of probability that the line will be extended in two directions beyond South Braintree to Hingham and toward Brockton. Station locations on the southwest route and its two spurs may not be known by the time the plan is announced. The likelihood is that there will be two branches breaking off at a point beyond Forest in stages and not at once. It will depend on the planners. By 1970 the Highland Branch Line to Weston definitely will have modern, faster cars and a decision may be reached by that time to extend it as far as Natick or Fram-ingham.

Eventually, there may be fast express service from Framingham along the Boston Albany tracks, connecting at Riverside with the Highland access to Boston.

It will be the first major mass transportation program roposed for the Greater Boston rea sinre the Coolidge Report of 1945. There will be one big difference between the two reports. The M.B.T.A. has the money on the turnpike into the city: The UMass branch will be possibly as far north as Gloucester. Commuters on this 1in are is now under study.

The Harvard subway may be extended to Porter Cambridge, and then run over tracks out to Alewife Brook Park-wav It could also run over a for more money from the Legislature.

The master plan is expected to show that all past thinking on transportation has gone by the wayside. New equipment now on the market providing speeds of 75 m.p.h. nearly twice the speed at present-requires less manpower to move the same number of it, Kids are some of our best customers. They don't have as much money to buy cars their parents." Another possible extension is over the Lechmere "viaduct through Somerville to Med-ford, Winchester and Woburn. The viaduct eventually will go underground on the Boston side of the Charles River, making possible the razing of the ugly elevated structure at North Station.

It may be extended as far as Waltham to meet the transit needs of growing Brandeis University, which has a large number of local students, and where there is talk of locating the new wood south of Rte. 128, the other through West Roxbury to Needham.

The Norwood line eventually may be extended as far as Walpole, but this is a decision of the future.
