In 1908-9 the -elevated structure was extended to -the present terminal at Forest Hills -and the Washington St. Subway was -completed through the business part -of the city.

Recent extensions include an elevated line from Sullivan -Square to Everett and reconstruction of the tunnel to East Boston.</p> - -<p class='c005'>Since July 1, 1919, the system has been operated by the Board of Trustees of the -Commonwealth.
