WASHINGTON. May 9-Recon-
sideration Of the Valley port pro-
ject was requested today by j. b.
Chamber. Sr.. chairman Of the
Arroyo Navigation district of Har-
lingen. and General Lansing a..
Beach. engineer for the Navigation
district, who appeared before the
Senate commerce committee hold
ing hearings on the rivers and
harbors bill. General Beach stated
that in his opinion no deep water
port was justified. and both Cham
bers and Beach asserted the Arroyo
should be considered in connection
with any Valley port development.
Harlingen Argued
Chambers said that location OF
the port at Harrington would mean
an annual saving in truck haul Of
81. 064, 900, based upon the tonnage
reported by the army engineers.
Congressman Garner stated there
should be no delay in providing
deep water transportation for the
Valley. and cited the fact the
Brownsville and San Benito-Point
Isabel navigation districts had al
ready voted bonds in the amount
Of two and a half million dollars
for port development and that the
Brownsville district Is preparing to
vote an additional million and half
on May 90.
This should be sufficient proof
that the Valley interests realize the
necessity of water transportation
and are willing 10 meet every gov
eminent requirement" Garner said.
Garner Asks Report
He also stated that the Harlin-
gen district should have the same
opportunity to connect with deep
water as the other districts when
the 25-foot channel is completed
through Brazos Santiago Pass.
Garner urged the Senate commit
tee to report the rivers and harbors
bill at the earliest possible date.
stating that at least 90 per cent Of
the members OF the House are anx-
ious to pass the bill this session.
Senator Johnson. chairman Of the
committee, asserted that the senate
was equally anxious TO secure rivers
and harbors legislation. but that
so many controversial matters had
arisen that it would be impossible
to say when the committee would
be able TO report the bill.
