Information from Washington is to
the effect that President Harding is
“to deal with the tariff in his message

is that congress deals with It and not

A VITAL MATTER TO BRUNSWICK
President J. W. Simmons, of the
Brunswick Board of Trade, made a
very interesting talk ac the meeting
of the Young Men’s Club yesterday on
the state port to be designated by
the cf Georgia, under a commis
sion created by the last legislature of
which Secretary of State S. G. McLen
don is the chairman.
The plan, briefly statt<frws
at one of the ports of tM4gih i 'a state
port on which a larg(T sum of money
variously estimated at from six to
ten millions of dollars is to** be ex
pended in the work of building termi
nals, etc. s
The money to be *in the
construction of these terminals and
in otherwise making this designated
port the largest and best equipped one
south of Norfolk, is to be produced
by a state bond issue, the necessary
legislation looking to that end to be
passed at the next session of the
legislature, which will be in the latter
portion of the month of June, 3122,
so that the port so selected has no
concern with the financing of the
proposition, once it has been chosen
and the site selected.
The site to be designated, we firm
ly believe must depend on the merit —
that is advantages, location, harbor
conditions and a hundred and one oth
er things go into the making of an
accessible and commodious port and
harbor. We do not think propaganda
and political activity will count for
anything in the matter of naming this
port and we are sure that the mem
bers of the commission* having the
matter in charge are broad and big
enough to do exact justice to ail of
the ports of the state.
A few days ago, Chairman McLen
don, writing to another port of the
state, who is contending for this des
ignation, said:
If Georgia should establish, and
I have many reasons for believ
ing that it will establish, a state
owned harbor on the coast of Geor
gia, the harbor commission will
select not only the best point,
whether that be Savannah, Bruns
wlck, Darien or St. Marys, and
will also select the hast ground
at that point for such a harbor.
nf course, we cannot tell now
jrhati cost would be, but I
roughly estimate that it will be
approximately $6,000,006. This
large Investment is not going tc
be made on haphazard opinion, it
not going to be made to carry out
anybody’s preconceived notion,
and Is not going to be made to
please any particular interest.
Nothing is going to be considered
except thy general welfare of the
state.
There has been much stated in
official reports about Brunswick,
Cumberland Sound and Savan
nah, but there has never been
■made a survey of any of th se'>
ports by competent authorities to
determine what could be done in
the way of development of a har
bor that will accommodate the
world’s shipping. The idea of the
harbor commission is that we
waut to build up a port which
will be entered by certainly more
than 1,000 ships per annum. Last
year 2.046 sea going vessels clear
ed from the port of New Orleans.
As president of tbe Georgia har
bor commission. I give the same
advice to all of our port cities,
and that is that each shall employ
competent engineers who are fa
miliar with harbor construction
under modern and
have such engineer person abso
lutely disinterested and Oempe
tent, who can see all there is to
be seen in any given situation.
You remember years ago, Mr.
pi:*nt thought the harbor facili
ties of Tampa were finished when
he developed Port Tampa. I.ater
on Hillsboro river was deepened
and Tampa itself became a more
imp riant shipping point than
Port Tampa ami changed atm lat
er on by the Ybor canal. I P to
ten years ago no one ever dream
ed of enlarging the port faculties
of Tampa by building this canal
from the Hillsboro river clear
around the city of Ybor.
1 think F. A. Meyers ot Atlan
ta. could make a competent pre
liminary survey. When comes
to permanent location and con
struction. 1 think the harbor com
mission will employ the t®f Bar
t* r engineers tn the \lni te<PStates
and these -come pretty high, hut
they are'worth the money.
What Georgia wants is a har
bor spmi to that at Seattle, and
botier than that at New Orleans,
and as stmd as the harbor at Ham
burg or Rotterdam. The harbor
has no ih* ught of
going at this business in a make
shift kind of v&y.
No* lu the u C c W f this letter of
Chairman MtU***', what o*g|t ihr
*m*tdc o* Uni'*ick 4n d tilynn <ctt*t
•y do in the prNhHii
W# beiiev* w* kn*w*
City and connty taUMvlilc*. clvh
and commercial organtamum* and ex
ity ought to be put to work to get this
data that Chairman McLendei speaks
of and which was referred to in the
talk cf President Simmons yesterday.
The very best engineers in the United
States ought <o be employed and no
expense should be spared to present
the claims of Brunswick in such a way
as will win on the very merits of her
cause!
Where is the money coming from ?
Again, we believe we know!
The city of Brunswick and Hie coun
ty of Glynn from the general treasury
should appropriate the sum of $2,500
each to be expended in compiling this
data and it must be kept in mind that
time is short. The hearing on the
subject will occur on January first
next and at that time Brunswick
should be present with a claim so full
and complete; so convincing in its
every detail and so thorough and sci
enlific and yet so plain and simple in
its logic, that the State Commission
could not do otherwise than designate
us!
That’s what we should do and that’s
what we suggest to the city and the
county commissions in all earnest
ness and in the full knowledge that
the plan offers more to Brunswick in
a constructive and practical way, than
anything' that has ever yet been sug
gested for us. -
Let’s set busy gentlemen. We are
indeed sleeping over our rights!
Wonder how Delegate Sze, of the
Chinese delegation pronounces his
cognomen?
International law works some hard
ships as it does many good things.
C. W. Morse, an old time offender, is
wanted by the United States govern
ment for alleged crookedness in con
tracts with the United States Shipping
Board. He is fleeing the country on a
vessel that sails the French flag,
which of course, becomes French ter
ritory, outside of the three mile lim
it. For that reason U. S. cruisers
•ould not haul the vessel down and
remove Morse at sea! But would not
France readily give her consent to
the proceeding? We think she would.
