Brighter Prospects for Calumet Harbor Development

William J. Venning, long time chairman of the South End Chamber of Commerce waterways committee, told the final meeting before summer recess that federal plans for a public barge terminal on 400 acres of lakefront land and a revamp of the Nickel Plate ordinance signal a new era of prosperity for the Calumet region. He cited anticipated barges moving Mississippi valley goods to rail and bus systems and ocean ships exchanging coal and ore for river transport, with engineers deeming the Calumet river essential to Chicago. Venning noted growing regional press support and predicted rapid population and development growth for South End, including the New Roseland subdivision by Harmon Realty Trust already nearing a million dollars in investment.
