History of Object: Folder found in the attic of City Hall in the 1990s. The documents in this folder reflect further attempts to promote a second, Southern Bay Crossing, including a proposal by Lochiel King, who also was instrumental in proposing the Posey Tube. However, correspondence and resolutions from 1951 and 1955 also reflect the urging for a second Estuary Tube, especially in 1955 with the failure to secure funds for the second crossing.
