no reason why Point Isabel shou d

ports of Houston, Beaumont, Texas.
City, Orange, Port Arthur, Sabine.

advantages of these ports it will be
necessary to preserve the State Rail
road Commission.
"What the peop'e most desire is a
movement of freight from the At

through these ports. In handling this
freight it would b. of great advant-
age to the people if the freight were
handled locally on rates prescribed
by the Texas Railroad Commission.
