WHEN OUR SHIPS COME In
EACH WILL BE WORTH $4,000

Each vessel entering a port
leaves $4,000 in that city, in the
belief Of Charles Crotty. assistant
director OF the port Of Houston. he
says in a letter TO DR.. j. j. Tribe,
Brownsville.
The $4,000 covers handling Of
freight. wharfage, payrolls, fuel,
and supplies. The information was
furnished DR.. Tribe seeking con-
crete evidence of the good a port
does a city and the surrounding
country.
"As a factor in developing bust
ness" Crotty continues. the deep
water way and terminal facilities
can hardly be estimated. as ii af-
fords an outlet convenient to the
point Of origin Of agricultural pro-
ducts and Of oil and minerals from
West Texas and Mexico, and will
do much toward building up the
sections where such articles are pro-
duced.
Practically all large cities OF the
world are DullJ upon OF a0JdCtnI "
navigable waters-ample evidence
that water transportation is a very
important factor in the industrial
development of our country"
The cost Of using a deep waer
channel Is usually about $3.50 per
foot Of draft Of the ship at the
time it enters the port, the assist
ant director estimates.
Houston ship channel. so miles
long. has been dredged TO a depth OF
30 feet. $50 feet wide across Gal
weston bay. and $50 feet 70 the
turning basin, which IS about 100
feet in diameter. This channel has
