Idle Boston wharves could ease coal congestion
An investigation finds several idle or underused wharves in Boston that could handle coal barges if temporarily leased. Cunard and eastern wharves in East Boston, the Common wealth dock, and six city street department wharves could relieve shortages, though unloading would cost more without coal lifts. A South Boston wharf near the old House of Correction could be made usable with a week of work, and about twenty minor wharves might also assist during emergency fuel famine conditions.
