Ditch Venture and Sandbar Hazards Amid Houston Venture
A late 19th century account details an official voyage along the Houston ditch project with engineers Ralph and Verratt arranging boats to inspect the Money Creek and Dubuque bridges. The party includes judges, attorneys, engineers, and reporters who note sandbars, shallow water, and a halt near Looney Valley. The ditch aims to reclaim land and reduce floods, with a final hearing upcoming before Judge Calderwood to determine the project’s future, and a bargain excursion advertises a Str. G. W. Hill trip with low fares.
