Portland Docks Advance Grain Elevator Project At St Johns
The Commission of Public Docks authorized preliminary work to prepare the St Johns site for a 1000 bushel grain elevator and related water terminal facilities. Plans include clearing brush, dredging by the Port of Portland, and driving foundations with purchasing of piling to ensure uniformity. Dredging to start in about two weeks, and property purchase for the Malarkey tract proceeds with indemnity protections. A separate report accuses some fish dealers of a deliberate scheme to waste salmon and inflate retail prices, citing millions in potential losses and possible investigations.
