nicipal wharfage, he reported
Savannah recently spent $780,
900 for one terminal and is now
bidding for another expected to
be declared surplus by the
WAA. This port development,
he continued, has been directly
responsible for a $11, 100000 pa
per industry, as well as several
smaller manufacturing con-
Germs, locating there.
Outlines Progress
Wilson also outlined the pro-
gress made in recent years at
the principal ports of Georgia
and South Carolina. He spoke
of the excellent examples they
offer in attracting heavy indus
try highly dependent upon good
transportation facilities.
The authority members
agreed that much more delay
in effecting a genuine statewide
port development program, re-
quiring the full support of North
Cardinals manufacturers and
shippers, would place Whining
ton and Morehead City to such
a disadvantage that it is doubt
full if they could ever "catch
up" in the highly competitive
South Atlantic water commerce
race.
Much of the traffic of the
ports of Savannah and Charles
ton originates in North Caro-
lima, they said, and rightfully
belongs to Wilmington and Mare
Head. City They pointed out that
the potential trade territory OF
North Cardinals ports is much
richer, both agriculture ally and
industrially, than that OF the
other two states.
Must Get Busy
North Carolina must get
busy if it ever hopes to COM
pete with them. Charleston and
Savannah are growing by leaps
and bounds on commerce which
should be moving through Will
mington and Morehead City to-
day. The reason for that is SIM
Pile. They have the better IA
cilities," Page said.
The inspection tour was be-
gun with a visit of the Savan-
nah harbor, conducted by
Charles ]. Musante, executive
secretary of the Savannah Port
authority and chairman of the
city's Industrial committee, and
other officials, Saturday. Sun
day members Of the group
viewed Charleston's facilities
and arrived here yesterday aft
ernoon to return to their homes.
The tour was the second one
made by the authority this
year. In May, the members in
spected North Cardinals ports
and waterways for the purpose
of better appraising the states
water commerce resources and
to obtain more definite idea
of immediate needs to place
them on par with those of
other South Atlantic states.

The question then would be

should be trimmed instead.
