City halts Swiss Plaza plan to trade river channel

The San Antonio city commission opposed flood prevention work that would harm the river’s beauty and rejected the Swiss Plaza hotel corporation’s request for a cut off between Fifth and Seventh streets along with a $215,000 land swap. Protest by local women’s clubs and business leaders influenced the decision, with Mayor Chambers doubting legal or moral acceptance of the Swiss offer at that time. The panel favored improving the southern Pioneer Flour area first, and discussed maintaining a natural dirt channel rather than a concrete lined one to avoid flooding the business district.
