Cleveland Chosen as Logical Lake Terminal Site for Belt Conveyor
Cleveland is deemed a more logical lake terminal than Lorain for a 100 mile belt conveyor linking Lake Erie to the Ohio River. H B Stewart Jr of Riverlake Belt Conveyor Lines said final site depends on obtaining a suitable lake-front area in Cleveland. Lorain could benefit from low-rate coal via self-unloader vessels from Cleveland.

Cleveland Lorain coal terminal chosen for large installation
Stewart highlighted Cleveland's vast coal market and Lorain’s land availability as deciding factors. The $60,000,000 terminal would employ about one million dollars yearly and yield Cleveland $1,700,000 annually in city taxes while Lorain’s tax return would be smaller due to a lower rate. The facility would ease ore-carrier maneuvers on the Cuyahoga River to feed nearby steel mills.

River lake conveyor would feed Cleveland mills via harbor
Stewart proposed using River Lake to supply private capital for canal and bridge work, arguing it would avert public spending on Cuya hoga river straightening and costly property condemnations. James Bynch moved quickly to remove a new fire hazard as details remained.
