PORT OF GALVESTON

DOUBLE CONCENTRATION PRIvl.
LEcEs GRANTED.
is DECISIVE RATE VICTORY
First Tangible Result Of Recent Hear
Ing to Abolish Galveston Houston
Cotton DiferentiaL

Galveston has won her fight for
equal cotton concentration privileges.
Effective November ~, the greatest
cotton port in the world will be on an
absolute concentration parity with any
interior shipping point in Texas. On
that date the order of the Texas Rail-
road Commission becomes effective,
amending the present cotton tariff and
granting Galveston the privilege of a
second free concentration of cotton
that has already been concentrated at
some point in the interior. This action
of the commission settles in Calves.
tons favor one of the points that fig.
ured prominently in the hearing be-
fore the Texas Railroad Commission
of the most recent chapter in the Gal.
veston-Houston differential contest.
At the hearing on the proposition to
abolish the Galveston-Houston differ.
entail held in Galveston last July, it
was developed that Houston enjoyed a
double concentration privilege on cot.
ton, while Galveston was by the rail-
road construction of the cotton tariff
denied the privilege of free concentra.
ton of cotton that had prior to its ar
rival at Galveston been concentrated
at some interior point.
The order issued at Austin Monday
is signed by Commissioners Earl B.
Mayfield and William d. Williams. No
action was taken by the commission
on the question of abolishing the diff
ferential, this phase of the question
being yet under consideration.
The action OF the commission was
to amend the cotton tariff by cancell-
ing rule z, section 4, substituting:
Railroad companies are required to
concentrate cotton and cotton linters,
without additional charge. at the OPP
ton of the owner or shipper once at
any available point in Texas in line of
shipment from origin to destination,
and second time at the port OF des-
tination and before delivery to the
wharf, and to carry the concentrated
cotton or linters forward to ultimate
destination at the request of the own.

cash is necessary to the accom-
