spent three weeks of March in
Galveston. The first appearance of
the city is not attractive. 1t is sit
uated on the east end of an island
of sand and is approached by rail
over a light trestle work three miles
long. A solid cement road is being
constructed, with a LOO feet bridge
to- the west side of the city. From
the east end a large ferry boat takes
the trains to the mainland at Port
Bolivar, a distance of five miles, and
a most interesting and picturesque
trip. 1t crosses the ship channel and
afford a fine view of the shipping,
the L. S. forts and the breakwater
which extends several miles TO the
east. AS a seaport Galveston is sec
ond only to New York in the United
States.
, The great sea wall protects the
east and south sides of the city. 1t
is seventeen and two-thirds feet high,
faced with cement blocks and wide
enough for four automobiles to go
abreast. 1t has been complete pro-
lection during one storm as severe
as that of 1900, and the citizens feel
confident that their property is safe
Ily guarded. The horrors of that ter
rible night, the loss of life and the
destruction of property, united the
people to devise protection against
a similar calamity. and an efficient.
economical system of government. 1t

plan that is being adapted by many
northern cities.
