Public docks opposed by ex Senator Wilbur at hearing
The Hon. E P Wilbur, civil service commissioner and ex Senator, urged against public ownership of docks and wharves yesterday. He suggested selling Commonwealth lands at South and East Boston to private capital if profitable, while avoiding speculative land bonuses. He noted Boston’s dry goods trade moved to New York and said state control of docks and railways is unlikely to benefit merchants.
