Cusick said it would, take between -14 and 16 months to construct the new line and the enlarged facility at Mattapan. He said the line would have three ultra modern eta- tions at Central st. and Mattapan.

The four present stations that would be eliminated would be Milton station at Lower Mills, Cedar Grove, Valley rd. and Capen St. MAY BE CHANGED However, he indicated that the number and location of proposed stations may be Milton's primary objection is over the loss of the four stations in that town and the gaining of only one Central The selectmen are also peeved over a proposed elevated structure in the Central av. area. Cusick said, that in con- verting the present line it would enable the transfer of, trolleys to the Riverside high speed line connecting Boston with Newton.

Cusick" said the $7.3 million for the Harvard sq. property would be used as-part of the total $12 million construction costs for the new yards and -to convert the present line for heavy rapid transit operation. The new plan calls for elimination of four lightly patronized stations on the; present line and would result in an annual savings of $1.2 million.

The M.B.T.A. would have to purchase a small tract of land adjacent to its Matta-pan trolley yards from the M.D.C. The Mattapan plan was first unveiled by Cusick to the press about a month ago. STRONG OPPOSITION It was met with wide opposition from selectmen in Milton, area legislators and residents in the district. The Boston City Council, by an 8 to 1 vote, urged Mayor White to vote against the plan when it came before the Advisory Board for approval.

White, who probably will be named new chairman of the full Advisory Board, succeeding former Mayor Collins, at a meeting of that group on other issues tomorrow, has not made known his feelings on the plan. His vote, however, would be crucial in that the percentage of vote under the statute assigned to each of the" 79 communities on all official matters in the Advisory Board, is based on the percentage of the annual M.B.T.A. deficit that the community is assessed.

The commonwealth gave Witness Tells Of Slaying In Medford A 35-year-old Medford truck driver held a Middlesex Superior Court jury in rapt attention for two hours today while he gave a detailed eye-witness account of the gun-slaying of Frederick W. Young, 38, of Medford, allegedly by Croce Centofanti, of East Boston, last Aug.

16. The key witness at Cento-fanti's murder trial before Judge Robert Beaudreau and a 16-member jury was Edward J. Grady, a friend of both the murder victim and the accused. Grady told how he, Young and Centof anti were to-j gether in a Revere night spot on the night of Aug. 15 and how they drove to Medford where, he said, Cento-f anti shot and killed Young with the admonition, "you did it once, but you won't do it again." Grady, in his testimony, 1 constantly referred to Cen- tofanti as "Charlie," not Groce.

He said tha "Charlie," Young and he were together in a Revere nightclub until -about 11:30 p.m. Aug. 15 when they left and drove to Revere to pick up Grady's girl friend. When they arrived at Medford, Grady testified, the girl riend was not there, i and so they parked and talked for 10 or 15 minutes "about where the liquor was." While they were talking "some checks fell out from i under the dashboard of the car," Grady said, and. he picked them up and.

'put them back. The witness said Young was behind the wheel Of the car, he was in the passenger seat, and Cento-', fanti was in the rear. "Just as I was about to shut off the radio," Grady testified, "there was a bang and a flash from the rear seat and I heard Charlie say to Young, 'You did it once, but you won't do it Grady testified that Ccn- tofanti wrapped his arm around Young as the latter 1 said, "Please, Charlie, please don't." "When Young got out of the car he fell to the ground," Grady told the jury. Then Centofanti and the witness drove back to Revere, at the defendant's request, Grady said; and they washed their hands. Grady quoted Centofanti as telling him, "Let's go back and see if he is dead." They drove back to.

the Fulton Medford, address of Grady's girl friend, said the witness, found blood on the car and washed it off. Grady said that the next day Centofanti told him, 'Keep your mouth shut or you'll get it." Cocktail Lounge 7 Parking (my "mm Singles from 800 LEXINGTON AVE. AT 23rd ST.
