Port Directors weigh Grand Trunk land swap for Boston terminus
Vice President Fitzhugh and Grand Trunk officials pressed Port Directors to stall a swap proposal as the railway company considers using vacant land as its Boston terminus. Chairman Hugh Bancroft said discussions were confidential and noted the directors would lease the land to Grand Trunk if it serves waterfront development, referencing past lease exchanges and a 40 year vacancy. He cited the New Haven’s willingness to surrender Commonwealth Pier lease but said it would cost the port $70 000 annually to forfeit the pier.
