business, why not use it with a view to
secure the location of industries?
Municipal Dock.
Thinkers seem to agree that the OPP
portunity of securing much of the new
business which will be caused by the
opening of the Panama canal belongs
to Pensacola, if she will prepare for
it; and they also agree that the most
important preparations are adequate
terminals, owned or controlled by the
municipality. Government officials
practically demand the construction of
municipal terminals before further
government appropriations shall be
made for harbor improvement. Pen
sacola has an approved project today
for harbor improvement of 80 feet of
water and a channel 500 feet wide.
This is but 80 per cent completed and
the government has discontinued work.
The project also included 80 feet of
water along the dock line from Bayou
Texar to Bayou Chico. I am given to
understand that this project will not
be completed unless Pensacola pro-
vides municipal docks.
The main advantage in g. port hav-
ing municipal docks lies not so much
in cheaper loading and wharfage IA
ciltties, as in the fact that it makes
the port free port, so that vessels
of any nation and ownership have ac-
cess to the railroad terminal faciIi-
ties.
The government now takes the at
titude that harbor improvements,
where railroads and individuals own
the terminal facilities, is but using
the government money for the benefit
of private enterprises.
Why Pensacola is so favorably sit
uated to secure the advantages of
municipal terminals is because she
owns a large amount of water front
suitable for the purpose, and also be-
cause, considering the valuation and
