Mystic river waterfront push for dredging and property grabs
Charlestown leaders and lawmakers convened to back major changes along the Mystic waterfront. Judge Joseph J. Corbett urged city takeovers of harbor properties and dropping the Mystic basin plan to enable 1000 to 1500 foot piers. Congressman Murray backed rail reorganization toward a state owned line, while David B. Shaw criticized railroads for waterfront grabs. Supporters argued dredging would boost warehouses, industries, and steamship lines.
