assault of the sea that proved SO des-
tructive in 1900.
Next came the grade raising. The
city was literally lifted nineteen feet
in air while 10000, 600 cubic yards of
sand filing were pumped Ia beneath
houses on stills, street a tracks on
trestles, elevated sewer and wafer
mains, at a cost OF $4,000, 900. All the
vegetation was again destroyed, aud
was once more replanted. Thereafter
the causeway vas built, costing over
$4,000, 600. 1t is a two-mile steel rein
forced concrete bridge joining the Texas
mainland at Virginia Point with the
shore OF Galveston Island. Vessels
pass through an opening bridged by
the largest roller lift bridge in the
world.
Galyeston's port activities are almost
rivaled by her record as a resort. The
beach on the south shore of Galveston
Island possesses what the Oleander
City natives believe, with some justice,
"the finest surf bathing in the world, J"
and last year the transportation COM
panies reported 800. 900 visitors to that
beach.
The port is an important military
station. Forts Crockett, Travis and
San Jacinto, armed with ten-ineh dis
appearing coast defense rifles, with a
range of twelve miles, guard the har-
Dor. For the past year $4,000 United
States regulars have been encamped
here waiting the word to move to Mex
leo. And from Galveston the first
troops to invade Mexican soil left in
the army transports.
Galveston also originated the city
commission form of government and
was the first city Of the United States
to put 1t into practical working effect.
This plan has since been copied by
more than fifty cities in the United
States and Europe.
Galveston's beach is also a nation
famous automobile speed way. Here
the worlds record of 200 miles was
made.
