favored that plan.

Miss Greene Makes
Strong Appeal For
Seaport Amendment
Advantages of Port of Mobile
Ably Presented to League Of
Women VoterS-MaSS Meet
ing of Women Today

EVERY county for the port amend
ment-help US make it So" was the
slogan advanced by Miss Frances
Nimmo Greene, the noted author anC
publicist, when she addressed the
local League of Women Voters yes
terday afternoon at the Hillmar
hotel on the proposed seaport amend
ment.
The meeting yesterday was the In
ttial meeting of tho league for the
fall season and was presided over by
Mrs. Richard r. Johnston who In
troduced Miss Greene, as the prin-
cipal speaker.
Alabama, your state, any state
has only one seaport" said Miss
Greene. att IL located at the head
of Mobile bay. 80 miles from the
Gulf of Mexico and has deep water
during all seasons. It Is far more
ideally located than the port at New
Orleans. as II is 100 miles nearer
to all Of the large cities in tho Mis-
sissippi valley. than the one at the
Crescent City"
To Issue Bonds
Miss Greene stated there had been
submitted to the voters OF Alabama
for their ratification an amendment
to the constitution to BE voted on
November Z, authorizing the state,
through legislative act and approval
of the governor, to issue bonds not
to exceed 100000 for the improve
ment, equipping and operating Its
only seaport.
The adoption OF the seaport amend
ment, Miss Greene pointed out does
not mean that the state of Alabama
will appropriate money from the
treasury or levy a special tax to pay
for the proposed improvements
Bonds will be Issued to cover the
costs of such improvements. Ships
and shippers will be charged fees
for the use of the facilities in the
harbor. and these fees based on a
schedule of rates, will bring in suf-
ficient revenues to cover the expense
of operating the port as well as ia
cover the interest of the bonds, and
to provide sinking fund to take
up the bonds at maturity, explained
the speaker.
Products In Demand
The products of Alabama are Ir
demand throughout the entire worl6
and these large exports, now coins
through the port at New Orleans
should be sent through our owr
port" said Miss Greene, .'but only p
part of them going by way of Mobile
port, on account of the lack of facili-
ties.
The freight rates are also lower
to Mobile than to any other port and
more ships will come there for
freight, giving producers of the
state an opportunity to reach the
markets of the world in less time and
at less cost of transportation than II
compelled as now to ship their prod
ucts through other ports 1t Is
of vital interest to each individual
in every line of endeavor In the state
