MESSAGE FROM NEW ORLEANS.

From The Pensacola Journal December 81. 1927
Resume of speech made before the people OF Pen
sacoa by James w Porch Of New. Orleans, on mu-
nicpaly owned docks the municipal and belt line
railroad campaign.
In the first laundering speech upon subject OF
general interest to be made within the white walls
of the Escambia county building. James W.
Porch, OF New Orleans, last night enthusiastically
urged that Pensacola the proposed s4ooooo for
municipal docks and belt line railroad.
Mr.. Porch is a leading member Of the New Orleans
Progressive Union and ex-president of the New Or
leans public belt commission. He is the man who
first realized the things which must accrue to his
city it but owned or controlled its terminal facilf-
ties He is the man who. more than any other. gave
time and brains to promote the accomplishment OF
what he realized. He has studied conditions in the
North and the South alike and he impressed all
those in the audience that he knew what he was
talking about.
For an hour ands half last night he stood before
deeply attentive and possibly hypercritical audi
ence and expounded the best doctrines of progress
sivism.
Incidentally, he hammered at the ultra-conserva-
tsm of the South pounded at the bugaboo Of rail-
road pull" and politics. battered the theory that
Pensacola will some day amount to a great deal
without terminal facilities under its own control and
then kicked the cat OF natural growth" outdoors.
The great thing that Pensacola needs now, he
showed. is municipality owned and controlled docks
end belt line. The 100000 proposed 81 plenty he
said for the time and will put up large and substan
tal docks and provide all the trackage needed
ford access.
Pensacola is a seaport. he said, and theoretical
opposition should stand in the way Of action favor
able to the Improvement December 80 once the
docks and belt secured the few seeming difficult
ties will naturally disappear.
He said: Public ownership of terminal facilities
placed under proper control is the thing vitality
essential to the future Of Pensacola and the develop
ment Of you magnificent harbor-a harbor absolute
~ the best in many respects that have ever visited
The seaport that does not control these things is
now handicapped at the start. and after what New
Orleans has shown and what Los Angeles has
shown may be done, will no longer have sympathy
nor will any other student OF condtions-for the
seaport which will not push forward and take adj
vantage Of its chance.
In New Orleans. since the city has owned its ter
mnals, our industrial prestige has grown one taou-
sand per cent 1t is all due to the fact that we have
the terminal facilities. taken out of politics
Pensacola is seaport, but it's not on the Tnap-
and tell you now. in all sincerity, tina til won't
be on the map in five years ten years or twenty
years, unless you make your 100000 effort safe
guard it in the best possible way and forget all the
bits Of theor ythat you may have that there is any
other way TO develop"
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1920-02-06


late Frank L. Mayes, appeared3
What reason is there for Pensacola? What ex-
cuse has she for being the map?
The answer is-"Pensacola. Bay
Without the great Deep Water Harbor. whose i'm
portance and value was recognized by the early dis
coverers and which today is known in maritime
circles throughout the world. there would be no
reason for Pensacolas existence. In fact Pensacola
would not exist.
What has Pensacola done to take advantage Of,
and to utilize this great natural resource?
The answ = is-nothing.
The L. and n. road, the Mclaughlin road. the
Negsrgel road now the Pensacola, Northern and
Gulf and several other private wharf have
taken advantage of the Deep Water facilities, but
Pensacola as a city has made absolutely effort
toufaze fhe great natural resources which re-
sponsiblc for this city's existence.
We boast that have the greatest harbor the
eulf It is true: we have. But what does that get
us?-nothing except by consent Of the railroad or
d private wharf owner.
We do not waterfront. We al
low others to do 50, but deny ourselves the same
privilege. We have the possibilities Of great world
seaport. and sit idly by and permit other less IA
vored ports to get the business while take what
comes by chance.
The situation be reversed by the construction
Of city-owned wharf and, belt line railroad.
The wharf will put Pensacola in a position to in
wife steamship lines 10 enter and do business this
port will guarantee facilities which either do not
now or which railroad wharf owners refuse oalloyv
independent steamship lines to use. 1t will create
business that cannot and will not otherwise come
The city-owned belt line viii put every industry
in the city in touch With the city-owned wharf and
with other wharves and railroads doing business in
the city 1t will enable every shipper manufacturer
Wholesaler, and jobber TO get to land from the
waterfront with his freight and to have the benefit
Of either rail or water rates and service bene-
fit that he does not enjoy today. and that cannot
be enjoyed long all the terminal facilities and
access thereto, controlled by private interests
The public wharf and the belt line will enable us
TO say to steamship owners-Come and we Will give
on wharf room for receipt and discharge of cargo
and connection wen with all the industries and
railroads in the city. The same facilities will enable
Us TO say to the manufacturer-Com and YOU shall
have railconnection with both the steamship lines
doing business here and the railroad on whom Won
are dependent for your trade with the interior
II Pensacola decides to build this wharf and tha
belt line railroad it viii business and prosnerit
TO- every business enterprise the cityand to the
iaboring man it viii mean steady job for the rest
of his natural life.
What argument can there be against such prom
osition2
