Rockport Citizens Back Rivers and Harbors Bill Support

J. E. Franklin, president of the San Antonio Uvalde Gulf railroad, says Rockport citizens are right to oppose the railroad commission’s protest against the rivers and harbors bill now pending in Congress. He argues the measure would aid Port Aransas harbor development and downstream towns, warns against closing the Moris and Cummins channel, and notes possible needs for drawbridges and deep water access for rail lines. Franklin plans to travel to St. Louis soon, with the Fowlerton extension nearing completion and unknown actions by Corpus Christi on coastal terminal plans.
