Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Special Committee Appointed to Inquire Into the Propriety of Rebuilding the Old Fordham Bridge: Also, on the Importance of the Navigation of the Harlem River; April 16, 1855
The amount of coasting trade and commerce which would avail itself of such a short and direct cut from one of our noble rivers to the other, would unquestionably be immense, and your Committee regret that it is not in their power to furnish the data upon which to found a reliable estimate of its extent and importance. Every business man, however, will readily comprehend something of its magnitude, and directly perceive the vast advantages to be secured to it, as well as to our city, by the opening of this convenient and perfectly practicable North-west Passage from Long Island Sound to the Hudson river.
