Opinions on the Athol branch of the Boston and Albany Railroad, 1933.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122405648

The Metropolitan District Water Supply Commission was created for purpose of extending and increasing the water supply to the Massachusetts metrpolitan water system (St 1926, c375). The commission was authorized to purchase or take land in the watersheds of the Swift and Ware Rivers to develop the Quabbin Reservoir. The commission requested opinions of private consultants regarding property to be taken from the northern portion of the Athol branch of the Boston and Albany Railroad. These opinions offer estimates of the fair market value of the railroad line.
