Lower Trinity River Dredging Bid Abroad Stirs Debate
Bids were opened by the U S Army Corps of Engineers in Galveston for dredging the lower Trinity River from Liberty to Trinity Bay. Service Marine of Galena Park emerged as the apparent low bidder at 161 000 dollars. Col Franklin Moon, district engineer, cautioned that start date is uncertain due to complications and high costs. He said the plan is to spot-hedge between Liberty and Anahuac to maintain a six foot depth, insufficient to sustain ongoing dredging. The Trinity River keeps shoaling, threatening barge traffic and a still water port at Liberty.
