The question the improvement Of the
harbors and coast line of Texas is one of
great Importance, and any measure that is
calculated to inaugurate work in such d.
rection as will prove effective, is Of para
mount interest. Undoubtedly, heretofore
the work looking to the improvement of
our gulf ports has been too much Of an I'M
systematized and slip.shod character.
What is wanted is plan and system, and
such plan and system as will accomplish
the end sought, the deepening of the bays
and the improvement of the coast line most
eiiectually, in the interest of no particu-
lar point, but for the good Of the whole
state. SENATOR KLEBERG has offered for
the consideration of our legislature reso.

which, il adopted, will no doubt have the
effect Of stirring our representa-.

WHEREAS, the great length of the coast

the national government have only such
limited facilities Of communication between
them, and IL is impossible for any one en-.

to properly superlntend to the best advan.
tage the various works Of improv ement
which are now being conducted by the
national government; and, whereas, while
all the works, ut various points on the coast
are of great Importance TO the imme
diatc sections, as well rs to the
country at large; yet the works n,
Galveston and on Buffalo Bayou, be.
tween the cities of Houston aud Galveston
IRE of such magnitude, as to require tn,
constant attention and the entire time and
capacity OF any one engineer officer; and
whereas, 1t Is believed that the best interest
ofTexas, os well as that of the national gov
eminent, requires that an additional mum
Der OF engineer officers be assigned to dut,
at the different works on the coas; of Texas
therefore,
De it resolved by the legislature of tn
state of Texas, that the senator's aud repre-
sentatlves from Texas in Congress be, an,
