Memorial for Galveston Aid by State Tax Grants
A memorial argues that the Twenty eighth Legislature should grant Galveston aid financed by state ad valorem taxes and city and county revenue for fifteen years to elevate and protect the port from calamitous floods. It frames the measure within constitutional limits, cites public calamity provisions, and warns against broad tax restrictions, urging state support for port security and inter state commerce.

Galveston Seawall Plan and State Aid Debate
After a long session, Galveston’s commission proposes a 17 foot high concrete seawall with a retaining embankment, costing about 2.5 million dollars. They urge state funding and bonds to cover the gap, arguing public calamity powers allow emergency relief and calling on Texas to support the project to rebuild the port and restore confidence.
