REGULAR SAILING TRIPS FROM PENSACOLA
LOCAL CHAMBER
TO HOLD BONDS.
FOR MCLAUGHLIN.

| Following a meeting yesterday aft
ernoon, at which President McLaugh-
lin of the Gulf Ports Terminal Rail-
way company. outlined a proposition
for issuing bonds to the amount of
100000. President Louis DEM. Blocker
of the chamber OF commerce, was au-
thorized to appoint committee to de-
wise ways and means to accomplish
the desired result.
The Gulf Ports Terminal Railway
extends from Pensacola to within IS
miles of the east side Of Mobile bay
The 18-nlile stretch, which is uncom-
pleted, and for whick the bond issue
is desired, is ready for steel, the right
of way being ready, grading completed
and no encumbrances of any sort out
standing.
Mr.. Mclaughlin appeared before the
chamber Of commerce recently and ex-
planned in detail his plans for COM
pleting the road, including the trestle
and draw-bridge across the head of
Mobile bay. He assured the chamber
that the. completed road would pay
large dividends, and answered num-
erous questions which were fired at
him by members present. His report
impressed the chamber and Judge
which puts the chamber on record as
favoring the project.
Among the chief reasons set forth
by Mr.. Mclaughlin as to why and
how the completion of the road would
benefit Pensacola, were the following:
There are approximately 5000 miles
of railway in Florida. On every ton
of freight destined for Pensacola, and
all other Florida points, south of Mem
phis, transportation charges for A
miles of unnecessary rail haul are now
paid, and all tonnage for Pensacola
from st. Louis, charges for 70 mile
of unnecessary haul are collected. On
all traffic with Pensacola as now done
south of Chicago and west of Missis-
sippi river, charges are paid on I'M
necessary and circuitous rail haul.
This has restricted the city's com
"All tonnage OF coal and fabricated
material from the great Birmingham
district, destined for Pensa
cola and the navy yard is now hauled
by rail approximately 25S miles. Com
pletion of this line of railway in con- |
nection with the Warrior river barge
line, now owned and operated by the
federal government, will reduce the |
rail haul to so miles.

PENSAC0LA'S SHIPPING TRADE Isl

Pensacola win some day be the
greatest resort town in the south, pro-
vided 1T follows the lead of other re-
sort towns less favored, and does not
expect the world to beat path to its
door. With all due regard to Ir.
Emerson, there are so many good
highways all over this country, that
the town that waits for the pathway
pioneer is very apt to grow old in the
waiting.
But il we will let the world know
about our bay and bayous and our
Gulf Beach, and will build highways
leading to these, and will establish
regular connection by boat to Santa
Rosa Island, Pensacola will become the
great winter and summer resort of the
south.
When Pensacola was first founded,
it was located on Santa Rosa Island,
one of the most beautiful spots in the
world, rich with traditions and ideal
in situation for an all-the-year play
ground /; 80;
An older generation spent much of
its time in the summers on the beach
of Santa Rosa. The fact that out
ings to the beach have been less
frequent during recent years is due
to a number Of reasons; the auto
mobile and the moving pictures are
two of the reasons, Bayou Texar Is
the other. During the world war. of
course, the public was not permitted
to visit the island, for government
reasons.
Camp Sauffley, situation about
where the old life-saving station used
to be, was established by the navy,
and since the close of hostilities,
number of private parties have enjoyed
the hospitality of the camp.
In years past weekly parties were
made UP and there were surf bathing
frequent trips to the gulf beach during
the summer months. Gradually, as
people came to own their own yachts
or their own automobiles, for outdoor
recreation. and as the bathing beach at
Bayou Texar became q permanent
part OF community life. surf bathing
became less of custom. and much of
the pleasure Of outdoor life as been
missed.
Then It was again revived by GER
tain private interests, and a hotel was
established, q pavilion for dancing
was built, and Santa Rosa again be-.
came popular In the summer months, /
until the war placed its ban on private |
parties on the island.
Now that the war Is over and the ]
movement for a gulf beach highway
has again been revived. Santa Rosa |
Island as an all-year-round resort |
again commends itself to the public
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1919-11-30

Coney Island in its location and op-
portunities for recreation does not
compare to Santa Rosa. The surf of the
Atlantic is not comparable to that of
the Gulf of Mexico, nor has the beach
at Atlantic city any advantages over
that of Santa Rosa.
One of the important links in the
movement for a summer resort for
Pensacola, however. is the gulf beach
highway, leading to the gulf beach; but
such a highway can never become a
reality, except as local enterprise
until the state highway system is
worked out in such a way as to pro-
mote the local movement.
Florida has had appropriated for
good roads development in this state,
eight millions of dollars, and the
portion that Escambia county is to re-
ceive out of this sum of money is the
development of road number One,
leading from Jacksonville to Pensa-
cola. Such a road, through West
Florida towns, passing through this
city and on to Alabama. through
Flomation, will be an ideal mode of
developing Pensacola as a resort.
With such a road, tourists could
in few days could batne in the wa
ters Of the Gulf of Mexico; with a no.
tel on the Gulf Beach and a pleasure
resort established on Santa Rosa Is
land, with the splendid fishing, boating
and bathing already afforded here.
Pensacola would be able to take care
of it's tourist trade as no other city
in the south could do.
Santa Rosa Island is seven miles in
length and admirably suited to resort
purposes. The waters of the narrows,
and the bayous contiguous to the is
land, abound in fresh water fish OF
every description, and the deep sea
fishing would afford sport that no city
in the south could rival.
Added to that which it offers for
diversion, the island possess a roman
tic background interviewer with the
early history of Pensacola. One of the
most beautiful spots in the world is
Lady's Walk, tradition having it tbut
on this spot in the long ago an ad
venurer of the court of Spain fought
for the hand of his ladye fair, and
went to his doom in the nearby wa
