Senate. Comm. on Railways and Canals. Act to establish the South Cove Corporation, 1833
Senate No. 9 On January 23, 1833, the Committee on Railways and Canals presented An Act to establish the South Cove Corporation, 1833. Six men and
their associates were incorporated as the South Cove Corporation, with the usual corporate structure and responsibilities. It was allowed real
estate to $1,000,000 and personal property valued to $100,000. There were specific instructions about wharf locations, railroad tie-ins, warehouses and
terminals. The corporation could build a sea wall, but had to preserve tidal flow and maintain any necessary draws. It had to work with the City of
Boston on storm drains and sewers and any new streets. The charter was good for forty years. (Digitized from a microfilm copy of title originally held
by the Massachusetts State Library).
Title:   The Committee on Rail-ways and Canals, to whom was referred the petition of John Welles and others, and of Prentiss Hobbs and others, have attended to the subject committed to them, and ask leave to report a bill.
