Galveston Bonding Amendment Urged For Protection Works
Judge Mullally urges Texas voters to approve the constitutional amendment allowing Galveston city and county to bond for five million dollars to extend the sea wall and protect the port. He notes Galveston’s role in supplying the region and cites past storms, while highlighting federal aid already received and the city’s plan to fund the project without new expenditures beyond bonded debt. The piece also lauds the Red Cross work in World War I and ties civic improvement to regional safety and prosperity.
