Synopsis
Excerpt from The Port of Milwaukee: Historical, Descriptive, Prospective
It meant that Milwaukee realized ten years ago that, with the growing changes in the character of the lake commerce, the crowding of water terminals from the river banks of large commercial centers, and the in creasing cost of handling large craft through tortu ous inner harbors, some study of future port develop ment would prove timely.
The local harbor improvements, which had hitherto been in the hands of an aldermanic committee, were entrusted in a commission made up of citizens familiar with lake commerce and with the physical conditions of the local harbor. It was realized that an aldermanic committee, at best, is transient in character, and that a body of men in sympathetic touch with local port. Affairs, enjoying a long tenure of office, was best suited to provide a comprehensive plan involving years of study and a continuous policy of development.
