State Pier Near Completion and In Use in Maine
The Maine state pier funded by a 1 150 000 bond is nearing completion and already operational. Portland and South Portland formed the Portland Pier Site District and paid 425 000 for Franklin and Gatt Block wharves, with work started January 25 1922 and delayed by strikes, now expected to finish in February. The pier aims to handle all cargo types, serve coastwise and trans Atlantic traffic, and may attract Canadian Pacific freight to Portland with potential rentals and needs for wharf rebuilding.
