What reading level is [city Documents, 1847-1867] 1859- No.7 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus there is a steep bank of five feet in the centre, which makes it always dangerous, often ruinous to a vessel, to ground in the centre of the channel. Three vessels have filled with water in consequence of doing so ; two of them were so much damaged as to require caulking, and one lost eight or ten cords of wood from her deck.
All such accidents render the port unpopular — enhance freights, and thus put our citizens at disadvantage com- pared with those in the same business in Boston; in fa...ct, tend to lessen business and the value of wharf property here. The only practical remedy of the dangers in the channel seems a deepening of it on the Roxbury side by the City. This can be well done for from two to three thousand dollars. Such an improvement would not merely remove the dangers spoken of, but by deepening the waters and opening our navigation to larger vessels, would secure to Roxbury a large increase of business. Our wharfingers now are turning their thoughts to the other side, seek- ing, as soon as their leases expire and Albany Street is opened, to secure yards contiguous to deeper waters.
