 FOREWORD 
PLANNING IN GEORGIA RECEIVED ITS IMPETUS FROM THE COASTAL SECTION OF THE STATE IN JULY 1936, THE EAST GEORGIA PLANNING COUNCIL WAS ORGANIZED, WITH HEAD QUARTERS AT SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, TO STUDY, lf-J COOPERATION V/ITH TilE ~JATIONAL RESOURCES COM~ITTEE AND THE WORKS PROGRESS ADMINISTRATION, REGIONAL PROBLEMS OF THE COASTAL COUNTIES. FOLLOWING STUDIES OF WATER RESOURCES, RECREATION, COMMERCIAL FISHERIES, A:JD OTHER SUBJECTS, IT VJ,\S f'EAL I ZED TIMT S I tJCE \'ff,TEROORtJE COf1!-lEr;C[ IS ,\ PHt,SE OF THE ECONOMIC LIFE OF GEORGIA'S SEABOARD, WHIC~I HAS CONSIDERABLE SIGNIFICANCE TO THIS SECTION S WELFARE AND PROGRESS, A SPECIAL STUDY OF THE SUBJECT SHOULD BE CON DUCTED. 
IN SEPTEP1DER 1937, THE WORKS PROGRESS ADMINISTRATION OF GEORGIA PROVIDED A STAFF AND SUPERVISOR TO CONDUCT A PORT STUDY. THIS PROJECT COMPLETED ITS WORK IN SEPTEMBER 1938. IT WAS FOUND, UPON TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS, HOWEVER, THAT BEFORE FINAL PUBLICATION, A MORE DETAILED STUDY OF DOMESTIC COMMERCE WAS AD VISABLE. APPLICATION WAS MADE TO THE WORKS PROGRESS ADMINISTRATION FOR A PROJECT TO CONDUCT THIS SUPPLEMENTAL VIORK, \'/HI Cl-1 DEGAN IN DECEf.'>GER 1938. 
AN EXISTING NEED FOR MORE SPECIFIC PLANNING BY EACH SEABOARD CITY IS EMPHA SIZED IN THIS FINAL REPORT. DATA PRESENTED HEREIN SHOULD BE STUDIED AND APPLIED IN A BROAD SENSE, SO THAT THE CONTINUANCE OF PLANNING IN EACH PORT MAY BE DASED ON FUNDAMENTALS, AND SO THAT GEORGIAS PORTS MAY PROPERLY FIT INTO A COORDINATED TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, WHICH IS SO IMPORTANT TO THE CONTINUED GROWTH OF TilE SOUTH EASTERN REGION OF THE UNITED STATES.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE 
TillS STUDY WAS DESIGNED TO ASSEMOLE AVAILABLE STATISTICS REGARDING WATERBORNE COMMERCE OF SEAPORTS ON THE SOUTH ATLANTIC AND EAST GULF COASTS. REGIONAL ASPECTS OF THE STUDY WERE PLANNED TO ENABLE COI-lPAR I SONS BETI'IEEN GEORG I A PORTS AND THOSE MOST NEARLY SIMILAR AS TO CONDITIONS AND (OCATION, AND WITH WHICH GEORGIA PORTS MOST CLOSELY COMPETE. IT WAS HOPED THAT COMPARISONS COULD BE MADE or OTHER METHODS OF TRANSPORTATION, AS WELL AS VALUES OF COMMODITIES, OUT SUCH DATA WERE NOT AVAILABLE WITHOUT A SPECIAL SURVEY. 
IN THE COURSE OF ITS INVESTIGATIONS, THE STATE PLANNING BOARD DISCOVERED MANY INTERESTING AND RELATED FACTS. THUS IT WAS POSSIBLE TO INCLU~E DISCUSSIONS OF OTHER FACTORS AFFECTING PORT PROSPERITY ~NO PROGRESS. 
SOVRCE OF DATA 
A GREM DEAL OF DATA EXIST IN THE \1'/AR 0EPt.fcTMEi-JT, OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF ENGINt=:ERS, WASHINGTON, 0. C., WHICH ARE PUDLISHED ANNU:LLY UNDER THE CAPTION C01AMERCIAL STATISTICS - WATERBORNE ComERCE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE REPORTS OF THE UN 1 TED ST.nEs t.1At' 1T 1,,,E Col,1f.11 ss 1oN ( U. S. SH 1PP 1NG BoARD) -D 1v 1s 1oN oF RESEARCH, AND PUBLICATIONS OF THE UNiTED STATES DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE -BUREAU OF roREIGN AND 00I1ESTIC COfIHERCE, CO~ITAIIJ OTHEr DA.TA. 
IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE, REPORTS PI<EPAPED OY THE \V.~R DEPARTMENT 1 S 8o,~RD Or ENGINEErS FOR RIVERS AND HARBORS WERE FOUND TO BE VALUABLE, AND ITS PUBLICATIONS OF THE VARIOUS POf'TS, DESIGNATED A~' PORT SERIES Nos. 3, 8, 9, AND 10, WERE REFERRED TO FREELY. 
IT IS NOT ANTICIPATED THAT THIS REPORT OF THE ST~TE PLANNING BOARD WILL REPLACE IN ANY MEASURE THE ADOVE EXCELLENTLY PREPAPED PUBLICATIONS. I~OWEVER IT HAS BEEN FOUND THAT, IN ORDER TO PRESENT A PICTURE OF THE TRENDS OF WATERBORNE COMMERCE OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS, SUCH A REPORT AS TillS WOULD MEET THE NEED FOR COMPILATION OF PORT STATISTICS, WHICH WOULD COMBINE THE DATA FROM SEVERAL ANNUAL REPORTS OF FEDERAL AGENCIES NAMED, TO SHOW TRENDS.

FROM A PELAT IVE STANDPOINT, TO HE GROWTH OF THE AMEP ICAN CotJT I NENTS. THERE IS MUCH INTERESTING INFORMATION ABOUT THE ORIGIN AND GROWTH OF THE PORTS 
OF THIS REGION, WHICH HAS GROWN OUT OF SPANISH AND FRENCH fNFLUENCES, FOLLOWED BY ENGLISH COLONIZATION AND AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE. 
THE GREAT RESOJRCES OF THE SOUTHEASTERN REGION or THE UNITED STATES ATTRACTED ALL OF THE MOr'E POWERFUL EUROP::Afl NATIONS. IT WAS NOT UNTIL THE r::NGL ISH COLONIES VIEPE FAIRLY WELL EcTADLISI1ED, HOWC:VEr, THAT DEVELOPt1ENT OF i'ESOUPCES WAS STM'T<:::D. RECORDS ARE EXTANT OF SHIPLOADS OF TOBACCO, RICE AND LUMBER, FOLLOWED BY COTTON, NAVAL STORES, AND OTHER COMMODITIES, WHICH FLOWED INTO THE RAPIDLY GROWING OCEAN TRADE OF THE 18TH, 19TH :,tJD EARLY 20TH (ENTUR IES. 
THE INVENTION OF THE COTTON GIN DY Ell ~HITNEY IN 1793 WAS A DOON TO SOUTHERN 
COI1MEPCE, SINCE UNEQUALED. As THE L~ND FRONTIERS MOVED FARTHEr WEST, LAND TRANSPOR- 
TATION ~ETHODS KEPT PACE ~ITH TillS GROWTH AND PROGRESS, BUT THE GREAT SHIPPING INDUSTRY HAS NOT FULLY REALIZED THE POTENTIALITIES or ITS PRODUCTIVE RESOURCES. 
OVER A PERIOD OF SEVERAL DECADES RAW MATERIALS HAVE BEEN EXPORTED IN LESSENING QUANTITIES, WHILE EXPORTS OF MANUFACTURED MATERIALS INCREASED. THE SUPERFICIAL STIMULUS PROVIDED TO FORE(GN SHIPPING BY THE WORLD WAR DROUGHT TO A PEAK A LONG PERIOD OF PORT PROSPERITY. THE HINTERLAND UPON WHICH PORTS DEPEND GRADUALLY HAS BECOME MOPE SELF-RELIANT AND SELF-SUSTAINING THROU31~ DEVELOPMENT OF MANUFACTURING PLANTS, WHICH USE NEAR-BY RAW MATERIALS IN STEADILY INCREASING QUANTITIES. THE WORLD WAR ACCENTED THE ADVISABILITY OF PROCESSING AMERICAN-GROWN RAW MATERIALS FOP HOME CONSUMPTION IN ADDITION TO FOREIGN USE. 
THROUGHOUT THE PRESENT SCHEHE OF COt1f't.Er;C I AL .~NO IIJDUSTR I AL TREtJDS RUNS .~ TENDENCY TO DE -CENTRALIZE, AND TO BREAK DOV/N HIGHLY SPECIAl I ZED ORGANIZATIONS. WHILE HII S TRANSIT ION IS H,K I NG PUCE, IT SEEMS F ITT If~G TO PRESENT THC PICTURE OF LATTER-DAY CONDITIONS. 
PRESENT CONDITIONS REQUIRE STUDY OF COMPARATIVELY RECENT T~ENDS TO PLAN FOR THE FUTURE. VOLUMES OF TRADE FLUCTUATE ALARifiNGLY, AND SOME PORTS HAVE SUFFERED REVERSES IN RECENT YEARS. TO CARE FOR EXISTING DOMESTIC COMMERCE, AND TO PREPARE FOR THE NEXT "SWING OF THE PENDULUM" TOWARD AN EXPANDED WORLD TRADE IS TOO VASTLY IMPORTANT A PURPOSE TO BE DE,\LT \'liTH LIGHTLY. 
8~GINNING WITH PONCE DE LEON'S DISCOVERY OF THE MAINLAND OF NORTH AMERICA !N 1512, THERE FOLLOWED A PERIOD OF EXPLORATION. DUPING THE FOLLOWING 50 YEARS OTIIER SPANISH EXPLORERS MADE EXTENSIVE VOYAGES, AND DISCOVERED MANY NATURAL HARBORS. 
 
 u 
INDUSTRIALIZATION OF SAVANNAH AND IMPROVED PORT FACILITIES OF MoBILE IN RECENT YEARS HAVE HELPED THE ECOI'JOH IC cmJD IT ION OF THESE TWO PORTS. THIS SHOULD DE REFLCCTED IN POPULATION INCREASES IN TilE 1940 U. S. CENSUS. THE CITY BOUNDARIES OF SAVANNAH HAVE BEEN EXTENDED. WHILE LOSSES IN POPULATION ARE MOSTLY DUE TO EMIGRATION, ABNORMAL GAINS IN PORT CITIES ~AY DE ATTRIBUTED LARGELY TO IMMIGRATION AND EXTENDED CIT'/ L If-.1 ITS, E ITIIER OF WI-I ICll FACTOf'.S MAY INDICATE IMPROVED ECONOr:ll C COND IT IOtJS. 
ALTHOUGH THE GEORGIA PORTS HAVE AN ACCOUNTABLE FOREIGN BORN POPULATION, IT IS LESS THAN 3 PERCENT AT SAVANNAH AND ABOUT 2 PERCENT AT 0RUNSVJICK. 
THE NEGRO POPULATION OF THESE TWO PORT CITIES DOES NOT VARY GREATLY FROM THE STATE AVERAGE OF APPROXIMATELY 35 PERCENT FOR URBAN CENTERS. THIS PROVIDES AN AMPLE ,SUPPLY OF LABOR, INCLUDING STEVEDORES. IT IS PARTICULARLY THIS CLASS OF LABOR TIIAT REr;JUIRES Ef.1PLOYt<1ENT IN THE SHIPPING BUSINESS IN PORT CITIES.

THESE PORTS HAVC CECOf,1E THE TERH I N.ALS FOR WATEfWOPfJE COI11vlEP.CE OF THE SOUTHEASTERN REGION. 
SoUTI:!E/\STEt'N REGIOIJ or THE UNITED STATES 
THE REGION, REFERRED TO HEREIN, CONSISTS OF THE STATES OF NORTH CArOLINA, SOUTH CAROLINA, GEORGIA, FLORIDA, ALABAMA, AND TENNESSEE. THE PRINCIPAL PORTS ARE: 
WILMINGTON, N. c.' CHARLESTON, s. c.' SAVANNAH, GA.' 0RUNSWICK, GA.' FERNANDINA, 
FLA.' JACKSONVILLE' FL,~.' HI Mt. I ' FLA.' TAt.IPA' Fu.. ' PENSACOLA' FLA'' AND r.\031 LE' ALA. 
VIH I LE THERE ,~RE OTHE F: PORTS LOCf1 TED IN THIS REG I ON, THE IF EST ABL I SH~1ENT IS EITHER TOO RECENT OR PRESENT AVAILABLE DATA TOO NEGLIGIBLE FOR ANALYSIS IN THIS REPORT. 
TI~ESt: SIX STATES HAVE A TOTAL LAND M'EA OF 285,787 SQU1\PE MILES, VII TH POPULATION OF 15,747,000 (1936 ESTIMATE). THE AREA COMPRISES 9.6 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL UNITED STATES LAND AREA, AND THE POPULATION COMPRISES 12.3 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL UNITED STATES POPULATION. 
PoPULATION 
POPULATION OF THE SoUTHEASTERN REGION, AND OF ITS PORTS, CONSTITUTES AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THIS STUDY. 
POPULATION TP.CtJDS OF THC:: PORT CITIES HAV:C: A DIPECT RELATIONSHIP TO THE TRENDS OF THEIR WATERBORNE COMMERCE. THE POPULATIONS OF PORT CITIES GENERALLY ARE EXPECTED TO BE MORE STABLE THAN THOSE OF INDUSTRIAL CENTERS AND RURAL SECTIONS. MIGRATION DUE TO SHIFTING OCCUPATIONAL CLASSES NORMALLY IS NOT 50 GREAT. 
EXCLUDING FLORIDA PORTS, WHOSE POPULATION TRENDS HAVE BEEN ABNORMAL fOR THE PAST 30 YEAR.S, LARGELY DUE TO THE TOURIST INDUSTRY, THE OTIIER REGION1'L POP.TS SHOWED 110RE THAN THE REGIONAL INCREASE IN POPUU T I ON 8ET'.'./EEN 1910 AND 1920. HOWEVER, IN THE POST-WAR PERIOD BETWEEN 1920 AND 1930 WILMINGTON, CHARLESTON AND BRUNSWICK LOST 3 PERCENT, 8 PERCENT AND 3 PERCENT RESPECTIVELY OF THEIR NET POPULATIONS. SAVANNAH GAINED 28 PEP~ENT BETWEEN 1910 AND 1920 GUT ONLY 2 PERCENT BETWEEN 1920 AND 1930. M031LE GAINED 18 PERCENT DURING 1910 AND 1920, AND ONLY 12 PERCENT BETWEEN 1920 AND 1930. 
FROM 1880 TO 1910 ALL REGIONAL PORTS SHOWED RATHER REMARKABLE INCREASES IN POPULATION. 
 
 AN~ THE GULF OF MEXICO. THE GEORGIA SEABOARD HAS MANY WELL DEVELOPED PORT FACILITIES, AS WELL AS PO- 
TENTIALITIES IN HARBOR AND NAVIGATION rESOURCES. SOON AFTER SAVANNAH WAS ESTABLISHED, IT W~S DETERMINED BY PLANNERS or THAT DAY THAT THERE WERE OTHER VALUABLE HARBOR RESOURCES ALONG THE COAST. IN COLONIAL DAYS, THE OLD TOWN or SUNBURY, NOW IN LIBERTY COUNTY, RIVALED SAVANNAH IN VOLUME AND IMPORTANCE OF COAST-WISE TRADE.

/\ VEfN li1PORTANT P,~RT OF TillS STUDY IS THE HYDPOGI:APHIC FORIMTION OF GEORGIA'S COAST. 
GEORGIA HAS A COAST-LINE OF ADOUT 100 STATUTE MILES ON THE ATLANTIC 0CCAN. Tf~ SOUTHEASTERN REGION, OF WltiCH GEORGIA OCCUPIES APPROXIMATELY THE GEOGRAPHICAL CENTER, IS AMPLY SUPPLIED WITH COAST-LINE, ALTHOUGH IN ITS ENTIPE LENGTil THERE DOES NOT EXIST 100 CONSECUTIVE MILES OF HARBOr AND NAVIGATIONAL FESOURCES TO COMPARE WITH THOSE OF GEORG I A,. 
STUDY OF THE FRONTISPIECE ~AP SHO~S THAT, IN ADDITION TO GEORGIA 1 S PORTS AT SAVANNAH, DARIEN, BRUNSWICK AND ST. MARYS, THERE ARE OTHER POTENTIAL PORT SITES IN NATURAL HARBOrS LOCATED IN THE LARGER ESTUARIES OF GEORGIA'S RIVERS. 
PRACTICALLY ALL PORTS OF THE SoUTHEAc,TERN REG I ON ARE IN CLOSE PrOXIMITY TO THE BOUNDARIES OF GEORGIA. FoR THIS REASON, MANY OF GEORGIA'S PRODUCTS MAY BE TRANSPORTED TO ALL PORTS OF THE REGION. THENCE THESE PRODUCTS OF GEORGlA'S EXTENSIVE NATURAL RESOURCES GO INTO FOREIGN COMMERCE OR DOMESTIC TRADE, EITHER TO THE PACIFIC COAST IN INTERCOASiAL TRADE OR DY COAST-WISE SlliPMENT, ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST 
 
 10 
MAY BE USED AS PROJECTIONS TO THE FUTURE. IF NEW OR UNTOWARD FACTORS HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED SINCE 1935, OR OCCUR IN THE FUTURE, THEIR INFLUENCE WOULD OBVIOUSLY AFFECT THESE CALCULATED TRENDS. 
TONNAGE TRENDS OF THE REGION AND THE PORT OF SAVANNAH COMPARE FAVORABLY WITH THOSE OF THE UNITED STATES, USUALLY EXCEEDING THEM, EXCEPTING IMPORTS AND COASTWISE SHIPMENTS: TONNAGE TRENDS OF THE PORT OF BRUNSWICK GENERALLY INDICATE A LESS PROMISING ASPECT AS COMPARED WITH THE UNITED STATES TRENDS, EXCEPTING IMPORTS, WHICH ARE A SMALL PART OF BRUNSWICK'S COMMERCE. 
TRENDS OF VALUE OF WATERBORNE COMMERCE, WITH THE NOTABLE EXCEPTION OF 0 0THER THAN COJ,STVJISE" DOI',1ESTIC COMh1ERCE, HAVE DECLINED FOR TI~E REGION AND THE GEOHGIA PORTS. THE DECLINING TREND IN THE VALUE OF SAVANNAH'S COMMERCE IS PARTICULARLY INTERESTING. THE VALUE OF TillS PORT'S COMMERCE HAS BEEN FAR ABOVE THE AVERAGE FOR SEVERAL YEARS, AND STILL REMAINS HIGH.

CHAPTER II 
ANALYSIS OF SloTISTICS 
 
CH.-'IPTER I, UNDER "Pur:~ POSE ,~ND SCOPE", CONTAINS A GENERAL DESCRIPTION, AND AC- 
 
KNOWLEDGES SOURCES, OF THE STATISTICS HEREIN, TABULATION OF WHICH HAS BEEN THE 
 
MAJOR PORTION OF THIS STUDY. ALL TABULATIONS HAVE BEEN NUMBERED AND APPEAR IN NU- 
 
MERICAL ORDER, BEGINNING WITH AN INDEX ON PAGE 55. THE SOURCE OF DATA IS SHOWN AT TilE FOOT or EACH T/IOLE. 
 
THIS CHAPTER DEt,LS WITH TABLES tJos. 1-7 (FOHEIGN COMMERCE), AND 24-34 (DOf,JES- 
 
TIC COf-111ERCE) , VJH ICH SHO'I/ THE TONNt,GES AND Vr LUES FOP E/ICH '(L\R, lOTH FOP THE rE- 
 
GION AND THE INDIVIDUAL PORTS, DURING THE PERIODS CHOSEN FOH STUDY. THESE PERIODS 
 
WERE 1920-1935 FOR FOREIGN COMMERCE, 1920-1937 FOR DOMESTIC WATERBORNE COMMERCE. THESE STATISTICS f,JUST BE CONSIDERED IN THE LIGHT or ~.!ANY CONTRIBUTING FACTORS, 
WHICH ARE VARIED IN SCOPE :'.ND IMPORTANCE. INDIVIDU,\L PORT STUDIES .~RE NEEDED TO 
 
ACCOUNT FOR AND EXPLAIN IRREGULARITIES SHO~N FROM YEA~ TO YEAR IN THE DIFFERENT 
 
PO~TS, SUCH AS THE FLUCTUATIONS IN MOVEMENTS OF COMMODITIES. COTTON, PETROLEUM, 
 
NAVAL STORES, LUNDER, AND SO rORTH, FLUCTUATE WITH SUPPLY AND DEMAND, AND ARE INFLU- 
 
ENCED BY FREIGHT RATE DIFFERENTIALS AND PORT CHARGES. 
 
IN ORDER TO VIEW THESE STATISTICS FREELY, ASIDE FROM COI1PLICATING CONDITIONS, 
 
THE FOLLOI'/ING GRAPHIC ANALYSES HAVE OEEN PFEPARED. 
 
STRAIGHT LINE TRENDS 
 
THESE GRAPHS INDICATE TRENDS OF DIFFERENT CLASSES OF COMMERCE IN SUCH FORM 
 
AS TO PERMIT COMPARATIVE ANALYSES. 
 
NOTE: THE 1-1ETilOD USED IN THESE Cf,LCULATIONS IS A flr\THEt<IATICAL FORt1ULA I~J 
 
WHiCH THE X 11 11 COLUMN EQUALS THE ACTUAL TONNAGE OC: V/,LUE FOR EACH YE:r'IR, MJD THE Y 11 11 
 
COLUMN REPRESENTS THE NUMBER OF YEARS BACKWARD AND FORWA~D FROM THE HALF-WAY POINT 
 
OF THE 16 YEr'I<'S COVERED. THE VALUES OF Y 11 1' COLUMN ARE MINUS FrWM 1927 TO 1920, AND 
 
PLUS FROM 1928 TO 1935.

ITEMS ,\ND THE PLUS 11 XY 11 ITEMS IS DIVIDED BY THE SUMMATION OF "Y " COlUt.1NS TO GIVE 
 
THE ANNUAL INCREMENT OR DECREMENT IN TONS OR DOLLARS. THESE INCREMENTS OR DECRE- 
 
MENTS ARE THEN APPLIED TO THE ARITilMETICAL AVERAGES (TOTAL TONS, OR DOLLARS, FOR 16 
 
YEARS DIVIDED OY 16). THEREFORE THE 1920 CALCULATED TREND FIGURES, SHOWN UNDER 
 
EACH G~APH, REPRESENT A MATHEMATICAL STARTING POINT, AND APE NOT ACTUAL. 
 
REFERENCE TO THE TABULATIONS WILL SHOW THAT, IN SOME INSTANCES, TRENDS FOR THE 
 
STUDY PERIOD MAY DE BROKEN INTO TWO OR THREE PERIODS. HOWEVER THESE CREAKS OCCUR 
 
IRREGULARLY. THEREFORE A STRAIGHT LINE TREND FOP THE ENTIRE PERIOD OF SIXTEEN 
 
YEARS IS PROVIDED, SO THAT THE TRENDS ARE CONSISTENTLY COMPARABLE, AND GENERALLY

CoMPARISONs oF 16 YEAR AvERAGEs THE FORM OF THE FOLLOWING GRAPHS GIVES CROSS-SECTIONAL VIEWPOINTS OF THE THREE 
LARGER CLASSES, NAMELY, TOTAL COMMERCE, FOREIGN COMMERCE AND COASTWISE DOMESTIC COMMERCE. 
OTHER DOMESTIC COMMERCE, WAlCH COMBINES INTERNAL RECEIPTS AND SHIPMENTS AND RIVER TRAFFIC, IS INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT TO GEORGIA 1 S PORTS AT THIS TIME. SPASMODIC CHANGES, WHICH POINT TO CONSIDERABLE INCREASE OF THIS GENERAL CLASS OF DOMESTIC COMMERCE, MAKE IT ADVISABLE TO OMIT COMPARISONS. SUCH COMPARISONS, BASED ON THE PERIOD 1920-1935, WOULD NOT PRESENT A TRUE PICTURE. THE RECENT COMPLETION OF A 6-FOOT CHANNEL IN THE RIVER FROM SAVANNAH TO AUGUSTA HAS AN IMPORTANT BEARING UPON INTERNAL COMMERCE. THE NEW PAPER PULP PLANTS ARE USING RIVER CHANNELS AND THE INLAND 
WATERWAY FOR TRANSPORTING PULP WOOD. A RECENT REDUCTION IN THE RAIL RATE OF PETRO- 
LEUM, IN COMPETITION WITH CHEAPER WATER RATES, WHICH HAVE BECOME AVAILABLE AS A RESULT OF THE SAVANNAH RIVER DEVELOPMENT, IS A SPECIFIC EXAMPLE OF CHANGES WHICH ARE AFFECTING THE MOVEMENT OF OTHER DOMESTIC COMMERCE. THE EXPERIENCE OF THE NEXT 
THREE TO FIVE YEARS IS NEEDED BEFORE PROPER COMPARISONS MAY BE MADE. A LONGER 
PERIOD WILL BE NEEDED, UPON WHICH TO OASE DEPENDABLE TREND ANALYSIS. IT IS SIGNIFICANT, HOWEVER, THAT CHANGES POINT TO IMPROVEMENT AND INCREASE IN THIS TYPE OF DOMESTIC COMMERCE. 
ABOUT ONE-THIRD OF THE REGIONAL TOTAL TONNAGE IS FOREIGN COMMERCE, WHEREAS LESS THAN ONE-FIFTH OF THE UNITED STATES TOTAL TONNAGE IS FOREIGN. THIS IS NOT PARTICULARLY SIGNIF~CANT IN VIEW OF THE LARGE VOLUME OF TONNAGE HANDLED INTERNALLY IN THE UNITED STATES. 
OTHER COMPARISONS OF 16 YEAR AVERAGES ARE GE~~RALLY CONSISTENT, AS BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND THE REGION, AND THE REGION AND GEORGIA PORTS. HOWEVER THE EXCESS OF COASTWISE RECEIPTS OVE~ COASTWISE SHIPMENTS IN BOTH THE REGION AND GEORGIA PORTS, AS COMPARED WITH THE UNITED STATES, 15 NOTEWORTHY. THIS EXCESS OF RECEIPTS MAY BE ATTRIBUTED LARGELY TO RECEIPTS OF PETROLEU~ IN COASTWISE TRADE. 
WITH RESPECT TO COMPARISONS OF AVERAGE VALU~, STUDY OF THE GRAPHS INDICATES THAT THE UNITED STATES AVERAGES ARE HIGHER FOR FOREIGN COMMERCE. IN COASTWISE COMMERCE THE RECEIPTS AVERAGE HIGHER FOR THE REGION, WITH THE GEORGIA PORTS APPROXIMATELY EQUALING THE UNITED STATES AVERAGE PROPORTIONS. 
THE COMMERCE OF GEORGIA PORTS COMPARES FAVORABLY WITII TRENDS AND AVERAGES OF BOTH T~IE REGION AND THE UNITED STATES. THESE DATA INDICATE CAUSE FOR OPTIMISM IN VIEWING THE FUTURE OF GEORGIA'S WATE~BORIIE COMMERCE.

INTERCOASTAL DoMESTIC WATERBORNE CoMMERCE 
lADLES Nos.22 AND 23 COVER INTERCOASTAL WATERBORNE COMMERCE OF THE SOUTHEASTEf1N PEG I ON. 
INTERCOASTAL WATERBORNE COMMERCE OF THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTES A MINOR POR  
TION OF DOI~STIC COMMERCE, APPROXIMATELY 2 PERCENT. THE SAME CONDITION IS GENERAL- 
LY TRUE REGARDING THE INTERCOASTAL PORTION OF THE SOUTHEASTERN REGION'S DOMESTIC COI-'IIJEG:CE. As HAS ALREADY BEEN l'l0TED, THE COAST\V ISE TRAFFIC ON THE ATLAIH IC COAST DEARS 11UCH GREATER SIGNIFICANCE TO HIE \'/ELFAf!E OF THE GEORGIA PORTS, AS 1t/ELL AS THE PORTS or THE SOUTHEASTERN REGION. 
A MUCil LARGER PORTION OF INTERCOASTAL COMMERCE IS SHIPPED FROM THE PACIFIC COAST TO THE ATLANTIC COAST THAN VICE VERSA. IN FACT, ABOUT 74 PERCENT OF INTERCOASTAL COMMERCE IS EASTBOUND, WHEREAS ONLY 26 PERCENT IS WESTBOUND. 
lf/1 THIN THE SOUTHEASTERN REG I ON Tl-IE SAME PERCENTAGES, VII TH RESPECT TO INTERCOAST!'L TOI~NAGE, DO NOT APPLY. THROUGHOUT THE PEF!IOD 1920 THROUGH 1935, THE INBOUND AND OUTBOUND INTERCOASTAL TONNAGES OF THE SOUTHEASTERN REGION WERE APPROXIIVIII TELY EQUAL. 
THE INTERCOASTAL COMMERCE OF MoBILE, ALABAMA DESERVES SPECIAL STUDY. THIS PORT HANDLES ALMOST ONE-IiALF OF THE INTERCOASTAL TONNAGE OF THE SOUTHEASTERN REGION. IT SHIPS TO THE WEST COAST ALMOST FIVE TIMES AS MUCH TONNAGE AS IT RECEIVES F~OM PORTS ON THE PACIFIC COAST. THE REASON FOR THIS IS VERY APPARENT. THIS PORT IS NEARER TO PACIFIC PORTS, THROUGH THE PANAMA CANAL, THAN ANY OF THE OTHER SOUTHEASTERN PORTS. THE CLOSE DALANCE OF TRADE, PREVIOUSLY NOTED, BETWEEN THE SOUTH EASTERN REGION AND THE PACIFIC CoAST IS ENTIRELY DUE TO THE LARGE VOLUME OF PRODUCTS OF THE SOUTHEASTERN REGION, WHICH ARE BEING SHIPPED TO THE PACIFIC COAST THROUGH THE PORT OF lv'IOB I LE. 
INTERCOf.,STAL COi,111ERCE OF THE SOUTIIE/-STErm REGION IS COI'-1P/\f~'ATIVELY SMALL. THE STATE OF GEORGIA liAS MANY RE~OURCES, PArTICULARLY MINERALS, WHICH SHOULD FIND A MARKET ON THE PACIFIC COAST. PRODUCTS OF GEORGIA FARMS MIGHT FIND ADDITIONAL MARKETS TIJERE. ALL OF THE PRODUCTS IN '.VHIC/1 GEORGIA LEADS COULD DE SOLD, EXCHMJGED, OR TRADED FOR PRODUCTS OF THE PACIFIC COAST AND ALASKA.

THIS APPEARS TO BE FURTHER JUSTIFICATION FOR DEVELOPMENT OF DOMESTIC WATERBORNE COMMERCE THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES, AND SUGGESTS THE IMMEDIATE AND PRAC TICAL IMPROVEMENT OF ALL RESOURCES, INCLUDING INLAND WATERWAYS, RIVER CHANNELS WITH NECESSARY LOCKS AND DAMS, INLAND CANALS, AND INLAND OR RIVER PORTS. ALL SUCH IMPROVEMENTS SHOULD INCLUDE THE CONSTRUCTION OF SEABOARD PORT FACILITIES, SUCH AS WAREHOUSES AND CARGO HANDLING MACHINERY. IT SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED THAT, WITH SUCH IMPROVEMENTS AS ABOVE SUGGESTED, THE PRODUCTS OF TilE HINTERLAND WOULD MORE ECONOMICALLY REACH THEIR PROPER MARKETS.

COTTON, SO IMPORTANT TO THE WELFARE OF THE GEORGIA HINTERLAND, 11EQUIRES 
 
SPECIAL STUDY. IT IS THE ONLY COMMODITY ON WHICH WORLD-V/IDE STATISTICS ARE A- 
 
VA ILAGLE. (SEE TABLES 16-21). 
 
THE DECLINE IN COTTON EXPORTS, PARTICULARLY OF THE PORT OF SAVANNAH, STARTING 
 
IN THE EARLY 1920'S, APPEARS TO BE ENTIRELY DUE TO WORLD TRADE CONDITIONS. 
 
BEGINNING IN 1926, THE PRODUCTION OF COTTOI~ IN THE UNITED STATES DECLINED MA- 
 
TERIALLY. THIS DECLINE PRECEDED, BY THREE YEARS, THE GENERAL BUSINESS DEPRESSION. 
 
THC PRODUCTION OF COTTON FLUCTUATED FROM YEAR TO YEAR BETWEEN 1926 AND 1933, THROUGH- 
 
OUT THE W0!1LD. STUDY OF THE WORLD CONSUMPTION OF COTTON ALSO INDICATES AN IRREGU- 
 
LAR AND UNSETTLED CONDITION BETWEEN THE YEARS OF 1927 AND 1937.

LACJ< OF CAPITAL USUALL'/ IS TilE ONLY ADVERSE I-ACTOR THAT IS CONSIDERED IN ACCOUNTING FOR TH!S CONDITION, CUT OTHER FACTORS ENTER THE PICTURE. 
ADDITIONAL INDUSTRIES NOW ARE BEING ATTRACTED TO GEORGIA BECAUSE OF IMPROVED CONDITIONS, AS FOLLOWS: EDUCATION 
RELUCTANCE OR INABILITY OF A LARGE MAJORITY OF GEO~GIA 1 5 POPULATION TO DEPART FROM CUSTOMARY DEPENDENCE UPON AGRICULTURE, FREQUENTLY HAS BEEN DUE TO LACK OF ADEQUATE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS, AND INSUFFICIENT VOCATIONAL TRAINING. 
ACCORD IiJG TO TIJE 1930 U. S. CENSUS, THE STATE OF GEORG If, WAS LISTED HIGH IN 
ILL ITERf,CY, BUT IT IS GENERALLY RECOGNIZED AND ACKNOWLEDGED G'l AUTHORITIES THAT THIS WILL NOT DE THE CIRCUMSTANCE AFTER TI-lE 1940 CENSUS. A \'/ELL PLANNED CM-1PAIGN BY THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATIO~ HAS BEEN STARTED TO OBLITERATE THIS CONDITION, ON THE BASIS THAT PEOPLE WHO APE UNADLE TO READ AND WRITE GENERALLY HAVE $150 PER YEAR LESS INCOI1E ON E1\RNING POWER THAN THOSE'WHO AP-E LITERATE. THE FIRST STEP IN THIS CAJ,JPAIGN WAS AN EDUCATIONAL SURVEY OR CENSUS, SCHOOL DISTRICT BY DISTRICT, AND COUNTY OY COUNTY. 8Y MEANS OF THIS SURVEY, THE NAME OF EVErY ADULT PERSON IN GEO~GIA, WHO CANNOT READ OR WRITE, HAS BEEN TABULATED AND ADULT EDUCATION IS DEING CAP-RIED TO THEM. To ENABLE THIS PROGRAM, APPROXIM~TELY 1,000 TEACHERS HAVE BEEN PROVIDED 0'1 THE WORKS PROGRESS ADMINISTRATION.

COMMERCE IS INCREASING. THE SUBJECT OF RAIL-WATER RATES SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED. ANY CON- 
DITION MilCH MILITATES AGAINST A PARTICULAR PORT, SHOULD OE CORRECTED. THE ONLY PRACTICAL ADVANTAGES TO ALLOW BETWEEN PORTS ARE THOSE OF THEIR NATURAL RESOURCES, PORT FACILITIES, LOCATION WITH REFERENCE TO HINTERLAND PRODUCTION CENTERS, AND CONVENIENCE TO OTHER SHIPPING CENTERS.

THE OCEAN STEAMSHIP COMPANY ALSO OPERATES TRI-WEEKLY SERVICE TO NEVI YORK AND BOSTON. BOTH OF THESE LINES OFFER CONFORTAOLE ACCOMMODATIONS, WHICH ATTRACT TOURISTS WHO ARE VACATIONING IN GEORGIA SEASHORE RESORTS. 
THE AUGUSTA-SAVANNAH LINE, AND THE BEAUFORT (SOUTH CAROLINA) AND SAVANNAH LINE, OPERATE FREIGHT AND PASSENGER SERVICE VIA INLAND WATERWAYS ON A WEEKLY SCHEDULE. 
THE ST. JOHNS RIVER LINE OPERATES COASTWISE PASSENGER-FREIGHT SERVICE ON A SEMI-WEEKLY SCHEDULE BETWEEN BRUNSWICK AND JACKSONVILLE. 
As RESORTS OF THE COAST CONTINUE TO DEVELOP, PASSENGER SERVICE AT GEORGIA PORTS SHOULD INCREASE. THE USE OF THE INLAND WATERWAYS BY REGULAR LINES, IN ADDITION TO THtciR STEAD.ILY INCREASING tfSE 13V pR1VATE: YACHTS AND OTHER fSLE.\SURE' CRAFT. IS WOP.THY OF MENTION. THESE USES HAVE POSSIOILITIES OF STILL GREATER INCREASE. A COAST GUARD CUTTER IS STATIONED AT SAVANNAH, AND A COAST GUARD LIFE SAVING STATION WAS RECENTLY CONSTRUCTED ON 5T. SiMONS ISLAND. THERE ARE ALSO PROSPECTS OF A COAST GUARD LIFE SAVING STATION NEAR SAVANNAH. THESE ARE SOME OF THE EXISTING AND PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS AND FACILITIES TO SAFEGUARD PASSfiNGER SERVICE AND PLEASURE CRAFT ALONG THE COAST, WHICH AFFORD ANOTHER REASON FOR SUGGESTING THAT PASSENGER SERVICE AND PLEASURE CRAFT MOVEMENT ALONG THE GEORGIA COAST WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE.

CHAPTER VI HARBOR RESOURCES AND PORT FACILITIES 
THIS STUDY HAS DEVOTED ITSELF LARGELY TO RESEARCH AND STUDY OF MANY FACTORS V/HIC!! CONTFICUTE TO THE V/ELFAr<E OF PORTS, /1ND THESE OAT,\ ARE OASED UPON THE RESULT OF UTILI ZAT IOtl OF N/1TURAL HAnDOR MJD OTH::R NAV IGAT IOf>IAL RESOURCES.

THESE FUtJDAMENTALS ~AY DE GENERALLY OUTLINED AS FOLLOWS: 
1. fJATUIU,L N,WIG,\TIONAL OR HAt:DOR PESOURCES. 2. ,\Dt,PTAO IL ITY OF TliESE RESOUPCES FOR USE IN HIE TI\ANSPORTt- 
T ION MJD DISTR IOUT ION OF COM~iERCE, BY THE DEVELOPMENT OF FACILITIES. 3. LOCATION WITH REFERENCE TO PRODUCTION CENTERS, WHICH REQUIRE AN ECONOMICAL INGRESS AND EGRESS FOR THEIR RAW MATERIALS AND FINISHED Pi:ODUCTS. 4. LOC;-\T ION 'HI TH REFERENCE TO OTHER SHIPP I t~G OR DISTR IOUTING CENTERS, OETWEEN V/HICH TRADE ROUTES ARE PRACTICAL AND NECESS/,RY. IT IS WELL TO CONSIDER FUNDAMENTALS IN ALL PLANNING. IT IS NOT EASY TO DO THIS WHEN CONSIDERABLE DEVELOPMENT liAS ALREADY TAKEN PLACE, AND SOME MISTAKES HAVE OEEN MADE. GEORGIA'S PORTS ARE DETTER THAN AVEPAGE, IF SCORED ON THE AOOVE OUTLINED PRINCIPLES. THEREFORE, IT APPEARS NECESSARY ONLY TO APPRAISE HAROOR RESOURCES AND EXISTlNG PORT FACILITIES IN THE LIGIIT OF NEW OPPORTUNITIES AND CALCULATED TRENDS, IN ORDER TO PLAN FOR THE FUTURE. THIS STUDY HAS INDICATED OPPORTUNITIES, AND HAS TOUCI1ED UPON POSSIBILITIES FOR FURTHER DEVELOP~ENT OF DOMESTIC COMMERCE. 
PORT SERIES No. 10, PREPARED BY THE BOARD OF ENGINEERS FOR RIVERS AND HARDORS 
01 THE ~AR 0EPAPTI~ENT, CONTAINS A VERY COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT OF TH!S POI\T 1 S HAROOR RESOURCES AND PORT FACILITIES, AND DESCRIBES ITS HARBOR AS FOLLOWS: 
11 5/;V,\NNAH HARBOf~ COt-lPRISES THE LOV/ER SECTION OF THE SAVANNAH RIVER, EXTENDING FROM THE CITY OF SAVANNAH TO THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. ITS ENTRANCE 
IS 75 MILES SOUTH OF CHARLESTON HARBOR, 5. C. AND 70 MILES NORTH OF THE 
ENTRANCE TO BRUNSWICK HARBOR, GA. THE CITY OF SAVANNAH IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTiiERtJ OMJK 01 THE SAVANN/IH RIVER IIBOUT 24 r.HLES HWM THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. 
 
 48 
CONSIDERABLE MATERIAL REGARDING THESE PORTS IS CONTAINED IN THIS ISSUE OF THE PORT SERIES AND DESERVES CAREFUL REVIEW AND CONSTANT REFERENCE BY THOSE INTERESTED IN PLANNING THE FUTURE. THE FOLLOWING SUBJECTS ARE DEALT WITH FULLY IN THE PoRT SEPIES: 
PoRT AND HARBoR CoNDITIONs PORT CUSTOMS AND REGULATIONS PORT SERVICES AND CHARGES FUEL AND SUPPLIES PORT AND HARBOR F .~C ILIT IES CoMMUNICATIONS THE FREIGHT RATE SITUATION CoMr.tcrcc TERRITORY TRIBUTARY TO THE PORT GENERAL THESE PUBLICATIONS HAVE BEEN PREPARED FOR ALL PORTS OF THE SOUTHEA~TEnN RE-

TO THE SOUTHERN RAILWAY TERMINALS, A PORTION OF ACADEMY CREEK, AND BACK RIVER TO THE MOUTH OF MILL CREEK. THE CITY OF BRUNSWICK IS LOCATED ON THE EASTERN DANK OF EAST RIVER OPPOSITE BUZZARDS ISLAND, ABOUT 16.2 MILES FROM THE 30 FOOT CONTOUR OF THE OCEAN AND ADOUT 8-1/2 MILES ABOVE ST. SIMON LIGHTHOUSE. 
"THE OUTER HARBOR.--THE OUTER HARBOR CONSISTS OF A DREDGED CHANNEL OVER THE OCEAN BAR OFF ST. SIMON SOUND. IT IS AI30UT 7 MILES LONG AND EXTENDS IN A NORTHWESTERLY DIRECTIOt~ FROM THE 30 FOOT CONTOUR IN THE OCEAN. FURTHER INFORMATION WILL BE FOUND UNDER "HARBOR IMPROVEMENTS". 
"THE IMlER HARIJCJR.--THE INNEFl HARBOR COMPRISES BRUNSWICK RIVER WHICH EMPTIES INTO Sr. SiMON SouND, TuRTLE RIVER TO THE SouTHERN RAILWAY TERMINALS, EAST RIVEF TO iiCADEMY CPEEK, ACADEMY CREEK TO 1 MILE ABOVE ITS MOUTH, AND B~.CI~ RIVER TO r11 LL CREEK. 
JEKYL CPEEK EtHERS BRUNSVII CK RIVER FROM THE SOUTHWARD ABOUT 2-1/2 111 LES FF'Of1 ITS MOUTH; WITH JEKYL SOUND AND ST. ANDREWS SOUND IT FORMS PART OF THE 
INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY TO FERNANDINA, FLA. A SURVEY MADE DURING JANU- 
ARY 1934 51-lOWS f, CONTROLLING DEPTH OF 9.2 FEET AT MEAN LOW WATEP THROUGH TH~ CREEK. 
SACK RIVER, WHICH ENTERS THE SOUND FROM THE NORTHWARD, IS USED BY SMALL VESSELS AS AN ALTERNATE ROUTE ON THE INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY. THERE IS A DEPTI1 OF 6.8 FEET AT MEAN-LOW WATER TO MACKAY RIVER, AS OF MAY 1934. 
SOUTI1 BRUNSWICK RIVER ENTERS BRUNSWICK RIVER FROM THE WESTWARD OPPOSITE IJUZZARDS ISLAND. FANCY BLUFF CREEK ENTERS SOUTH BRUNSWICK RIVER FROM THE SOUTH'I/EST\'IARD 1-174 MILES ABOVE ITS MOUTH. THIS CREEK AFFORDS A CROOKED, NARROW CHANNEL, GOOD FOR A DEPTH OF ABOUT 2.5 FEET AT MEAN LOW WATER, TO LITTLE SATILLA RIVER. 
OPEN SEASON FOR NAVIGATION.--THE HARBOR IS OPEN FOR NAVIGATION THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. 
"PREVAILING WINDS.--THE PREVAILING WINDS ARE NORTHEASTERLY; DURING THE SPRING MONTHS THEY ARE SOUTHERLY. 
11 PRECIPITATIQN.--THE MEAN ANNUAL PRECIPITATION, COMPILED FROM THE WEATHER BUREAU RECORDS FOR 33 YEARS, IS 49.76 INCHES. THE TABLE BELOW GIVES TI1E PRECIPITATION FOR EACH MONTH. 
"TEMPERATURE.--THE DAILY MEAN MINIMUM TEMPERATURE, COMPILED FROM THE WEATHER BUREAU RECOPDS FOR 10 YEARS IS 59.8, AND THE DAILY MEAN MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE IS 77.9. 
"BRIDGES.--THERE M<E tJO BRIDGES ACROSS THE CHANNEL AT THIS PORT." 
ON SEPTEMBER 16, 1938 THE DISTRICT OFFICE OF THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS AT SAVAN- 
NAH ALSO ADVISED: 
"THE PROJECT FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF BRUNSWICK HARBOR WAS ADOPTED DY THE RIVER AND HARBOR ACT OF JULY 30, 1930 AND THE ACT OF JUNE 20, 1938 PROV IOED FOR INCLUDING ItJ TilE HARBOR IMPROVEMENT THE DEEPENING OF TERRY CREEK. THE HARBOR PROJECT PROPER WAS COMPLETED IN 1936. THE DEEPENING OF TERRY CREEK TO 10 FEET AT MEAN LOW WATER HAS NOT BEEN STARTED, BUT THE WORK WILL DE DONE AS SOON AS PLANT IS AVAILABLE. 
"IN JUNE 1938, BRUNSWICK HARBOR HAD A CONTROLLING DEPTH OF 27 FEET TO THE CITY AND 28.4 FEET TO THE ATLANTIC REFINING COMPANY WHARF ON UPPER TURTLE PI VEi'~ . 11 
PORT FACILITIES ARE SHOWN ON THE MAPS ON PAGES 52 AND 53, WHICH ARE REVISIONS 
BY TilE STATE PLANNING GOARD OF SIMILAR MAPS CONTAINED IN THE PORT SERIES PUBLICA- 
TIONS. 
 
 50 
AN ACTIVE PORT AUTHORITY, IN CONSTANT TOUCH WITH CONDITIONS, IS IN A POSITION TO PLAN FOR THE FUTURE. FOREIGN TRADE THROUGHOUT NoRTH AND SoUTH AMER)CA MIGHT BE INCREASED, NOT ONLY TO THE IMMEDIATE ADVANTAGE OF WATERBORNE COMMERCE, BUT TO THE ADVANTAGE OF EVERY KIND OF INDUSTRY, UPON MilCH WATERBORNE COMMERCE DEPENDS. IN TERSTATE COMMERCE, ESPECIALLY DOMESTIC WATERBORNE COMMERCE, SHOULD 3E PROMOTED AND DEVELOPED MORE FULLY. 
THE SUGGESTED lt.1PROVEMENTS II~ THE INLAND WATERWAY, RIVER CHANNELS, AND CANALS, WOULD PROVIDE A CONSIDERABLE MATERIAL AID IN. ACCOMPLISHING THIS PURPOSE. THE DEVEL 
OPMENT OF PORT FAG ILIT IES, ADAPTABLE TO HANDL IdG :,;_;ctTYPES OF DOMESTIC WATE,RB.ORNf 
COMt.1ERCE, NECESSARILY WOULD FOLLOW. DoMESTIC WATERBORNE COMMERCE OFFERS THE GREATEST POSSIBILITIES AT THIS TIME 
FOR INCREASED REVENUE, AND FOR BUILDING UP THE WATERBdRNE BRANCH OF THE TRANSPORTA TION INDUSTRY OF GEORGIA.

CHt,PTER VI I SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS 
THE SUCCESS OF TRANSPORTATION AND DISTRIBUTION SErVICES DEPENDS LARGELY UPON CONDITIONS OF INDUSTRY MJD flUS INESS. WHEN HEAL THY CotJD IT IONS EXIST IN TRADE AND COMMERCE, THE TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY PROSPERS. WHEN THERE IS NOT SUFFICIENT CONFIDENCE IN BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY, TRANSPORTATION SUFFERS, ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT RELIEVED THEREBY OF CERTAIN DEFINITE RESPONSIOILITIES. ASIDE FROM CARRYING COMMODITIES FROM PRODUCERS TO CONSUMERS, THIS INDUSTRY OF SERVICE MAY CARRY EITHER GOODWILL OR DAD TIDINGS. TRANSPOrTATION IS DEPENDENT UPON EVERY LINE OF BUSINESS ENDEAVOR FOR ITS EXISTENCE, AND ITS PRINCIPL~S OF SERVICE NEED TO DE HIGH TO HELP INSTILL AND MAINTAIN THE DEGREE OF CONFIDENCE THAT OEGETS TRADE. 
SPECIFIC PLANNING IN THE FIELD OF V/ATErBORIJE COi>MERCE NEED= TO DE BASED ON T\f/0 PRD.JISES. THE FIRST IS THAT OF IMPROVING PORT FACILITieS. THE SECotJD IS TH/,T OF DETERMINING WAYS IN WHICil TO BE OF GREATER SERVICE, SUCH AS DISCOVERING NEW MARKETS FOR COMMODITIES. 
THE STATISTICS CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT INDICATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF WATERBORNE COMMERCE IN GEORGIA. OTHER DATA PROVIDE AN INSIGHT INTO TRADE AND INDUSTRY, UPON WHICH WATERBORNE COMMERCE NECESSARILY DEPENDS. ADDITIONAL DATA ARE GIVEN IN THC TI18ULATIONS OF COIHiODITIES IN ~/i\TERBOt:NE COI1MERCE. Cot.1PETITIVE ANGLES ALSO Hf,VE OEEN INTRODUCED FOR CONSIDERA.TION. TllESE DAH LAY A FOUNDATION, UPON WHICH MOPE SPECIFIC PLANS MAY DE Mt,DE. 
IT IS SUGGESTED, THEREFORE, THi\T SPECIFIC PORT PLANNING IS THE INDIVIDUAL DUTY AND RESPONSIGILITY OF EVERY PORT. PLANNING A PORT IS FULLY AS IMPORTANT TO THE MATERIAL WELFARE OF SEABOARD CITIES, AS CITY PLANNING IS TO INLAND CITIES. LOCAL CONDIT IOtJS VARY, AND EACH PORT tJEEDS TO MAKE ITS 0'1/N STUDY AND PLAN. THUS PROPER PR INCIPLCS, i\ND STANDARDS, MAY BE EVOLVED TO GUIDE LOCAL INTERESTS IN BUILDING UP THEIR PORT TO tTTRACT INDUSTRY AND WATERBORNE COMMERCE TO THEIR CITY. 
IN OF~DER TO MAKE THESE PLANS, IT IS RECOMt.1EtJDED THAT AN ACTIVE PORT AUTHORITY B~ ORGANIZED IN EVERY PORT AND BE MADE PESPONSIGLE FOR CONDUCTING STUDIES TO IMPROVE PORT FACILITIES AND SERVICES, AND TO DISCOVER ADDITIONAL COMMODITIES ~HICH COULD DE TRANSPORTED IN WATERBORNE C0MMERCE.
