The City is beginning a campaign to clean up what has become perhaps the biggest disgrace to Harvard's neighborhood--Freedom Square.
Monday night, Cambridge City Councilor Alfred E. Vellucci voiced a complaint long whispered around the Square: "Bow Street looks like the City dump." City health inspectors should crack down on those who place piles of trash in the area, he said, adding that it might be necessary for the City to swear out a complaint in the Third District Court in East Cambridge against "the owners of that castle."
"I don't think that they even have a place for barrels for that trash," Vellucci said. The councillor first became aware of the deplorable situation when he walked down Bow Street early one morning this week, finding, to his shock and dismay, "broken whiskey bottles, beer cans, rubbish and everything you can think of lying on that street."
Vellucci emphasized that he did not know "where those whiskey bottles came from."
