REGAINS WORLD PORT AT ALBANY ~Ul«r a lapse of many years, decp-draft ships from the seven seas agein will be voy: to Albany, 160 miles from the open erways .md r Iroads. By L. E. ZAVITZ (A. P. Staff Writer) —Shades of | may chuckle socn as 0’:(‘37)‘ ain leave this eity Less tha ntury ago, Albany was one e principal seaports on the we n side of the Atlantic sending its own ships to the In-| dies, Europe and even China With the increased draft of mod- | ern vessels it became impossible for many to make the 160 mile trip from the open sea up the Hudson river from New York, and in the last 50 years few ocean going ships have been seen here. The nistoric Hudson has been turned over to passenger steamers of shallow draft and canal boats. Now the new port of Albany, farthest inland seaport of the Unit- ed States, is preparing to open its docks to world shipping. Despening of the Hudson for 20 milss south of the city, a project ocean. A vast interlor territory w } ot i ment within a few $11,200,000. Keoping pace with the dredging of the river, the Albany port dis- omplete: months at a cost | trict composed of the cities of Al- bany and Rensselacr, has con- structed noarly a mile of concrete plers extending along both sides of the river, Erection of terminal nctures, including transit sheds warehouses, cran ail ends and terage warehouses for lumber and | grain will be started early in the spring. Four large railroads converge on Albany and these will have direct connections with the docks. As Al-| y is the eastern terminal of the New York State barge canal ystem, and is the center of a vast work of trunk highways, the ew port i5 expected to have all the advantages of a natural con- centration of land and water trans- pert facilities. The Hudson is a tidal arm of the bany hany 1 beaefit, ca, ot least far as Albany. The tide has a daily rise here of al- four foet, and the difference a level at Governor's Island, in New York harbor, and Albany is only slightly more than onc foot. The new depth provided in the upper Hudson, 27 feet at minimum low water, Wil amount to at least 30 feet at all stages of the tide. At that depth, nearly 90 per cent of all cargo ships in the world can navigate. Four years ago, federal enginecers computed that the deepening of the | Hudsen would add more than 30,- | 000000 tons to the 1,500,000 river ‘tramc annually. Economic bene fits expected from the new pcrl have steadlly increased since thes with the growing demand of the middle west for improved sea ou.- lets. The new port will bring Great Lakes shipping 160 miles nearer to the sea. Compared with Montreal, the great inland seaport of Canada. occan going vessels leaving Albany aging up the Hudson River from New York City The map shows the port of Albany in relation to other wat- will have to travel only 180 miles to reach the open sea, while from Montreal they must travel ship canal. ‘The tetritory to be most greatly benefitted, directly or indirectly, by the new port, lies for the most part in the mid-west belt, west of the Alleghenies and north of Tsxm-s- see. In that vast area lie Cleve- land, Detroit, Columbus, St. Louis, St. Paul, Kansas City, Chicago Milwaukee and Denver. ———— MOOSEHAVEN LEGION NO. 25 Don't fail to attend Madam X Ray’s Husband, a one-act play which is & WOW, Tuesday even- ing, Feb. 24th, for Moose Legion- naires and their families only.
