Boston Terminal Plans Move Toward Dockyard and Elevators
The piece recounts financial and legal maneuvering around a note tied to a Salem creditor and a later lawmaking push to expand Boston’s terminal facilities. Erie Delaware and Hudson officials urge quicker accommodations as rail traffic is set to surge, prompting proposals for a dock and elevator corporation to control wharves from the navy yard to Charlestown bridge and Chelsea to East Boston ferries.
