KittrelI's Statement
Representative Kittrell, of Lau-
rens, vice chairman of the port COM
mission, and floor leader for the port
terminal bill in the house, gave out
statement Thursday expressing
of
Of the port terminal movement to
date.
II am delighted with the progress
of the port terminal idea," he said.
Think of it. A year ago the pert
commission bill was passed, creating
the commission, and for several
months we could do nothing because
of no funds. Only about March did
we begin work, and actual crystal
llzation began only a few weeks
ago.
New Orleans never handled grain
until here elevators were built, and
this now gives the small beginners
volume a nearby market. The same
! facilities on the coast of Georgia
will do likewise for us. Cold storage
will furnish contact with the world
on pork, pecans, apples, poultry and
other perishables, and will enable
the producer to finance and carry
over, selling at his own will and
pleasure, and waiting for an equi-
table price, where all the world would
know Of the existence Of his prod
ucts, and all the world would buy.
l am delighted and [ know the vic
tory is in sight"
Brunswick Leaders Make Statement
Declaring that the house action
Wednesday on the bill proposing the
establishment of a state port ter
minal was a decided victory for
Brunswick, Representative B. F.
Mann, of Glynn county, and Sena-
tor L. r. Aiken, of the Fourth
(Brunswick) district, issued a state
ment Thursday expressing gratitude
to the members of the assembly and
to the people of Georgia and predict
ing an ultimate victory for the
Glynn county city.
Their statement follows:
THE vote of the general assembly
Wednesday on the port terminal bill
clearly sustains Brunswick's posi-.
ton. A legislator must always be
fair and equally conservative. The
procedure in this matter by the port
commissioners and their engineer
has not met the approval Of the as
sembly nor of the people of the state
The very organization of the com
mission in the act that created il
was most unfortunate. AS a result
we now have four of the five mem
bers running for reelection. Being
human, they necessarily will be
taempted to shape their decisions
from the standpoint of political ad
vantage. Doing the best they may
even until the election is over, they
will be burdened with so many Other
duties that they should not even be
asked to pass on a matter of such
magnitude.
Information Meager
Three or four days at each Of
the port cities by only a minority
or the commission in company with
, the engineer, who immediately after
; a location was agreed upon, accept
ed employment by Savannah, does
, not satisfy the average fair-mindec
Georgian that the proposition was
given fair and proper consideration
, The people are not willing for THEN
f property to be tied up for taxation
for a SIS 100000 Indebtedness on sc
meager an investigation.
: brunswick, in this movement
: has won victory not only for it
self, but for the entire people OF
; Georgia. The substitute bill offered
, in the house by the Glynn county
= representatives is both constructive
4: and comprehensive. 1t shows clear.
ly that the people of Brunswick are
, not obstructionists, but that they
| are able to offer sonnet hing better
