Concrete dock buildings and city pumping plan proposed
Joseph A. Conry of Boston argues after the East Boston fire for future docks and adjacent structures to be built of concrete with steel reinforcement and no wooden buildings. He suggests a city standpipe on Webster Hill with electric pumps to flood rail yards, plus a harbor service main along Marginal Street to cover wharves and warehouses. The plan complements fireboats and could apply to Charlestown docks and freight yards to limit fire spread.
