Savings Seen From San Antonio River Canal Project
The plan to open the San Antonio river for Intracoastal canal traffic could save about 7.5 million dollars annually in shipping costs for local business, with Col. W B Tuttle noting potential per ton savings of 3.61 and further reductions if warehouses are placed near turning basins. The study compares waterborne freight from Fort Bolivar and Seadrift to San Antonio against Houston rail and truck costs, and notes the unloading point would be several miles south of downtown.
