European capital to back Boston waterfront plan
A Boston waterfront proposal seeks 40 million dollars from private European and American capitalists to develop East Boston flats into a vast warehouse and rail complex. The plan envisions dredging costs reimbursed by the state, shifting the reserved channel, and building six piers with rail access under private control, plus a park and pavilion for the city. The scheme, led by Joan H Hodgdon of the American Building Trust, relies on foreign investment and questions state ownership of docks, with official backing pending legislative action.
