On this street, which is only 16 feet wide between curbs, or only enough for two lines of teams, there is little occasion for teams to stop, and the movement in each direction is practically continuous. On Congress Street and on Devonshire Street between State Street and Adams Square there is a street car traffic amounting to a maximum of 140 cars per hour, which, together with the large teaming traffic, causes much confusion and congestion. This congestion is increased by the fact that the traffic through Devonshire Street has to pass around the east end of the Old State House, and is much blocked by standing express teams. s Of the traffic which crosses Hanover Street in either direction, it is shown that Washington, Union and Blackstone streets carry about equal amounts, and Portland Street about one-half as much as each of said streets. If the trucking to and from the railroad freight stations could be handled by one central authority, --if, for instance, the railroad company could take its freight from the station to the consignee and from the consignor to the station, --the traffic could be so regulated that more teams could be hauled full and much space would be saved in the streets. Under the present arrangement, however, the merchant has to send his truckmen to the station to receive and deliver goods, and, unless by a fortunate combinaton of orders, the team will go empty to the station, bring the goods to the warehouse, and go from the warehouse empty, and the conditions are similar when goods are to be forwarded. In England the railroad companies deliver and receive freight at the warehouses, and it would seem that by some such arrangement a great economy might be effected. .
