Interview with Arthur Lane, president of Boston Shipping Association, on importance of having new container port serving Boston to maintain shipping industry. Proposes new facility in Lynn across Gen. Edwards Bridge because of accessibility and lack of conflicting use. Parsons Brinckerhoff estimates $132 million to build with five container cranes. Major dredging necessary. Japanese companies already threaten to stop shipping to port of Boston because it is too slow. Potential for 45,000 jobs in 15 years. Lane says Boston lacks foresight to develop shipping industry, is second class, and could become just a barge depot for Halifax and NYC. Boston money “too tied up in trust funds in financial district.” Map, aerial photo and artist's rendering.
