San Antonio river canal project faces freight and cost issues
A district brief argues Guadalupe river canalization would raise haul costs and reduce benefits, while the San Antonio river canal offers an outlet to the sea. It cites 1941 freight projections of 2,400,000 tons and a $6.37 million annual overland cost, with limited impact from sand and gravel. The article notes high current freight rates hinder industrial growth and outlines three potential cost-reduction paths. It also highlights projected wartime and postwar freight increases and a push by Col. W. B. Tuttle toward canal development as a solution.
