Cochrane Proposes Port Facilities on Blakely Island
At a meeting of harbor railroad and steamship officials in the Cawthon hotel, John T. Cochrane presented a plan for port facilities on Blakely Island. His railroad would give a 1000 foot riverfront strip and a one mile depth to the State Harbor Board, construct terminals, and build a bridge over the Mobile River. The board would have the right to purchase the land in fifteen years at cost, with 5 percent interest. Milton H. Smith and A. G. Ward spoke regarding the proposal's potential.
