Per Capita Buying Power Of Cities San Antonio View
The article argues inland waterway improvements, especially the San Antonio river project, will boost San Antonio’s wholesale trade and per capita buying power. It compares San Antonio’s $730 per person to higher values in Houston and others with waterway access, citing freight rate relief, regional competition, and a 1937 city retail trade of about $105 million. It notes a split in real estate impacts and rail rate dynamics influencing local fortunes.

Effect of Boat Service Upon Trade
Data show barge handling shares for goods: 45 percent of stalis and provisions, 60 percent of general merchandise, 20 percent apparel, 30 percent automotive, 15 percent building material, 10 percent drugs and sundries, 50 percent miscellaneous. Estimated overall retail capability by barge about half. Projected savings at tariff rates yield per capita impacts, suggesting San Antonio could gain about 2 billion dollars yearly in retail purchasing power if water traffic benefits are fully realized. Additional gains include higher property values and attraction of new industries from improved transport.
