Disappointment In Quincy Bay Improvement Report
Secretary Garrison transmitted an adverse report to Congress on linking Quincy bay with the Mississippi by a channel. Engineers say the lower bay already offers ample harbor, while gradual shoaling has reduced the current 90 acre six foot channel. The Quincy business fight for the project stemmed from bay shoaling and lack of outlet.
