Galveston, Texas December 12.--The in
corporation OF the West End Dock COM
pay and the permit IL has received from
the government to carry out its plans, is
causing considerable talk in shipping ana
railroad circles.
In the first place II is a matter OF sur
prise how quietly the promoters OF THE
curaAe. it is strange how little the question
has been discussed ia the press. The West
End Dock company was Incorporated early
in the year, but no active steps We're taken
for some time. On November % they filed
n plot with the county clerk, showing the
plots and water front on the bay north Of
the island and between Forty first street
and the bridge crossing from The main land
to the island. This plot contains certii-
cate sworn to by George Il. Mann and
shows fats thereon designated to be zoo
feet wide and completely taking every
available foot Of WAFER front. or Wharfage.
west OF Forty FIRST street
Tho Twenty second legislature passed an
act on April II, 1871. relating TO the con-
struction aud maintenance OF harbprs aud
channels along The Texas coas,. II was
intended To apply particularly to the needs
of the Arkansas Pass Improvement company
and to cover the phyeicai conditions there
prevailing, but It's terms are general and
under them /; is said that the Mats in CAL
weston bay not hitherto granted by tho
State can be acquired for private
use al the nominal price Of 81
an acre. This construction of the
law, however. Is denied by otbera, who
say the West End Dock company Will have
10 be authorized by congress before 1t oan
proceed 60 gain a foothold In the manner
here indicated. Whether Congressman
Hawey viii be appealed TO to assist IN
carrying out the project remains 10 he
seen.
The question Of wharfage has long peon
nn interesting one here. Away back In
the 'I0s war was made on the Galveston
| Wharf company by the daily press. II WAS
| cartooned and photographed ana declared
| TO be n monopoly. an octopus and n mon
stcr that fastens upon commerce and sucks
the life blood Of, industry" Notwilhstand-
ing all this however, the wharf company
has gone along In the even tenor oil 1t
way and Is still doing business at tins
old stand. There Is a large sentiment here
| In favor OF the municipal ownership OF
wharf privileges. II Is frue this could moi
| be accomplished without great Outlay OF
money, but there In little donbt II the end
sought TO be attained would not justify tbs
expenditure The experience of other sea
ports has been that the private ownership
, OF the wharyes retards the commerc'a
growth OF the town.
The question is one well worthy OF The
best thought. not alone Of the people o.
