Dock Improvements Under Way in East Boston
A $500,000 allocation from the lease terms between the Boston and Alban railroad and the New York Central and Hudson River to East Boston docks will fund spring work.

A new seven story brick warehouse will be built at the head, and a 2,000 foot elevator is unlikely this year.
