Fellow Citizens
The recent purchase of the South Atlantics principal railroad operated port facility by the Georgia Ports Authority represented one of the most forward steps in the development of ocean commerce in recent years Including all existing buildings structures cargo handling equipment and trackage plus berthing facilities for a number of vessels the Central of Georgia and Ocean Steamship terminals have overnight made the Georgia Ports Authority a major competitor in the field of ports operation
An intensive study to determine the engineering operational financial and general economic feasibility of this purchase by the Georgia Ports Authority was found by a nationally recognized engineering firm to have many mutual advantages
In the case of Georgia Ports Authority it will enable this body to prepare a longterm program of progressive development and improvement and to provide for greater overall efficiency in the operation of the combined terminals under a single owner and operator
With the help of Centrals thirtyfive freight traffic offices throughout the country plus its own representatives this purchase will place the Authority in a much stronger position with the necessary team work to meet the progressive competition of other regional ports
We pledge our fullest cooperation in the continued progressive growth of our great State of Georgia
Very truly yours

GOVERNOR
July 17 1959
Fellow Citizens
Georgia more than any other southeastern state is blessed with natural waterways Not only does Georgia have two excellent seaports Savannah and Brunswick but it also has great river systems throughout the State which are now in the process of development Since its early founding Georgia and Georgians have been accustomed to the importance of water transportation
There are many reasons why port operations and development in our great state are emphasized
Port operations and development attract industry increase revenues and stimulate our economy and its growth thus serving business industry and agriculture thereby assuring jobs to every segment of our economy
We in Georgia welcome inquiries from businesses industrial groups and agriculturists We are glad that we have the port facilities both inland and deepwater in Georgia to provide services to these important groups
It is hoped that through publication of this magazine GEORGIA ANCHOR AGE you and others will become better acquainted with our services our facilities and our plans for expansion
Sincerely
S ERNEST VANDIVER Governor

PLANS PRESENTED FOR THE AUGUSTA BARGE TERMINAL
At the May meeting of the Georgia Ports Authority Mr Harry Zimmerman of Augusta Consulting Engineer presented plans for the construction of a new barge terminal at Augusta The Board unanimously approved in general the overall plan for development of the inland barge terminal and instructed Mr Zimmerman to complete the plans so that construction could begin as soon as possible
The barge terminal which is 220 water miles upriver from Savannah is to cost an initial 40000000 Bids are expected to be let in about 60 days The Georgia Ports Authority will operate this terminal Local taxpayers in Augusta underwrote 22500000 of the cost and the remaining money was furnished by the State of Georgia and the Georgia Ports Authority
Just a century ago Augusta was just a bustling inland port city the head of navigation on the Savannah River with berths for 10 huge paddle wheel steamers Today Augustas city government and its Chamber of Commerce are working closely with the Georgia Ports Authority to see that this colorful city regains its prominence as a river port
Ample land along the river is already owned and some docking facilities have been built Plans call for the full utilization of the site with docks transit sheds warehouses and modern handling equipment all included in the final design for Augustas barge terminal Private firms have been using the Savannah River for years sending barge shipments down to Savannah with finished goods and bringing raw materials and other commodities back to Augusta
Augustas very active Chamber of Commerce and committee of 100 have been able to attract to the area as a result of announced port plans such internationally known firms as B F Goodrich and Continental Can Company Numerous choice sites in Augusta are available for further industrial development Utilities services and water for production purposes are assured firms settling in the wide area to be served by the new Port of Augusta

HEW COLOR FILM AVAILABLE TO CIVIC CLUBS
There is a new look in Georgia today It is the proud look of economic and industrial success During the past decade our importance as a manufacturing center has grown tremendously Georgia is leading all other Southeastern states in industrial growth A major cause behind the growth is the resurgence of waterborne shipping a carefully planned program for expansion of Port facilities and a determined effort to use our inland waterways to bring prosperity to all of Georgia
The growing prominence of Georgia Ports represents completion of a cycle for Georgia has been a maritime state since the days of its founding Since the days of great sailing ships pilot boats have been setting out to meet ships flying the flags of every maritime nation ships bringing raw materials to aid Georgia industry and agriculture ships about to take on Georgia grown and manufactured goods for distribution to peoples throughout the world
A new color sound 16 millimeter motion picture that was released by the Georgia Ports Authority in January of this year has been used to better acquaint the citizens of Georgia with port operations proposed expansion of various ports and the benefits derived by the people throughout the state by expanded port operations Various civic professional and business groups in Augusta Savannah Bainbridge Statesboro Brunswick Valdosta Macon Atlanta Doraville Nashville Pelham Fort Gaines Blairsville Cartersville Canton Roswell Clarksville La Grange Warm Springs Attapalgus and other Georgia cities and communities have seen this film

Diamond Construction Loiv Bidder on Brunswick Dock
On June 26th at 200 PM at the First National Bank Building in Brunswick Georgia bids for the construction of a new 500foot dock for the handling of general cargo were opened
Present for the Georgia Ports Authority were Messrs A M Harris member of the official board J D Holt Executive Director Georgia Ports Authority and Mr Sam J Gardner Comptroller
The B F Diamond Construction Company of Savannah was the low bidder Its bid was 136697000 Second and third lowest bids of the eight firms competing for the contract were T A Loving Company and the Atlantic States Construction Company of Atlanta
Construction work on the new dock should begin within the next 30 days The new dock will be constructed on the Brunswick River approximately onequarter mile from the center of the business district of Brunswick The dock area at Brunswick will contain facilities and services similar to those at Savannah geared to the needs of modern shipping
Attracted by the States plans for the Port of Brunswick new industries are already moving into the area The new 700000000 plant of Bestwall Gypsum is under construction located in Brunswick because of the planned dock facilities Many other firms in the coastal area such as Olin Mathieson and Hercules Powder plan to ship by water from the port There are more than a dozen choice industrial sites in Brunswick that offer easy access to the docks
Operation of these new docks is scheduled to begin in the fall of 1960

Since even before the days of the sailing of the first steam
ship Savannah the ports of Georgia have played a continuing and prominent part in world commerce
western markets the ultimate usefulness of these ports can and will be gauged by the number of ships utilizing their facilities
With completely modern facilities at its Garden City Terminals in Savannah with its recently acquired Savannah Ocean Terminals with facilities and plans well underway for ports expansion in Augusta Bainbridge Brunswick and Columbus Georgia will continue to lead the way in southeast ports development
Shippers are fully aware of the savings and advantages Georgia ports offer in faster safer handling lower costs and reliable service
All good reasons why ship captains are proud to say Im headin for Georgia ports

GEORGIA PORTS AUTHORITY
BAINBRIDGE INLAND PORT
Georgias access to the worlds great trade areas is not limited to its deep water ports The achievements of modern technology are making it possible for us to put our many rivers to use again
In southwestern Georgia where the Chattahoochee River joins the Flint to form the Apalachicola and a natural barge route to the Gulf the Jim Woodruff Dam has opened a new era in river transportation
Shipments of fertilizer materials salt sulphur flour asphalt and propane gas keep the locks busy as barges enter the Flint bound for the growing inland port of Bainbridge
Bainbridge is the model for Georgias inland port program The Bainbridge State Docks were the first in the State to receive cargoes and already tonnage has far exceeded expectations
In addition to the Georgia Ports Authority operated docks three companies have already built their own private docks at Bainbridge They are American Bitumals and Asphalt Company General Gas Corporation and the Flint River Mills Inc
The State and private river terminals serve a large surrounding area including the cities of Valdosta Thomasville Cairo Pelham Moultrie Albany Cordele and points in Florida and Alabama
Nowhere does an inland port have better more complete handling equipment or better storage facilities for both imports and exports Facilities of the Bainbridge State Docks include a warehouse and transit sheds with 26000 square feet of storage area
Second year traffic at the Bainbridge State Docks showed an increase of 119 per cent ahead of the first with adjustment to the fact that the facilities were open only six months the first year
Several private companies are making additional studies for location in the Bainbridge area and the future for Georgias first inland port seems assured

OFFICE OF THE MAYOR
With the christening of the Nuclear Ship Savannah in Camden New Jersey by Mrs Dwight D Eisenhower on July 21 another major milestone in ocean commerce was accomplished
It is entirely fitting that the worlds first nuclearpowered passengercargo vessel be named for its renowned ancestor the Steamship Savannah which in 1819 became the first steampowered vessel to cross an ocean
Ocean trade and its relation to the economy of Savannah is nothing new to Savannahians Since the days of Oglethorpes landing in 1733 ships have plied a steady course to this South Atlantic Port and have made it a major competitor in ports operation
On behalf of the people of this great city we wish to express our pride in the NS Savannah and trust that its peaceful application of atomic powers will indeed make of it an instrument of peace in the years ahead
THE MAYOR AND ALDERMEN City of Savannah Georgia

Central of Georgia Railway Develops Industrial Park at Augusta
Artists conception of Miracle Mile 400acre industrial park being developed by the Central of Georgia Railway in cooperation with Augustas Committee of 100
Recently an announcement was made of the creation in Richmond County of a 400acre industrial park This park as a result of work by the Augusta Committee of 100 and the Industrial Development Department of the Central of Georgia Railway is located approximately seven miles below the City of Augusta between the Old and New Savannah Roads
The Central of Georgia Railway will sell or lease lots with the Committees help in the Miracle Mile for industrial use only The site lies immediately east of the 275acre tract the B F Goodrich Company purchased in 1957 for industrial use It is some four miles north of the site where Continental Can is building its 4500000000 plant
The City of Augusta and Richmond County during 1958 enjoyed a most favorable growth period Four new industries and three major expansions of local industry accounted for 5500000000 in new capital investments employing more than 1000 persons and adding five and onehalf to six million dollars to the industrial payroll Major companies locating or expanding facilities in Augusta were the Continental Can Company a major distribution warehouse for the S H Kress Company the General Electric Television Tube Division Wilson Shirt Company with major expansions being made by Homestead Draperies Lily Tulip Cup Company and Murray Biscuit Company
With construction work soon to begin on the Augusta State Docks by the Georgia Ports Authority another aid and service to industry will become a reality
Metropolitan Augusta is and always has been a major distribution and warehousing point for the Central Piedmont area
To show the importance of the development of Augustas port and waterways we quote a portion of a report prepared by Hammer Company Associates of Atlanta Georgia
The introduction of the new factor of an efficient waterway connection with Savannah can be of great additional importance Linked with both the IntraCoastal Waterway and the ocean lanes of coastwise and foreign commerce Augusta can develop several new rolesas a distributing point for inbound shipments throughout the Piedmont as a collecting point for outbound shipments of raw materials semifinished goods and finished products and as a manufacturing or processing center utilizing raw or semifinished materials brought in by barge
Augusta will represent the point of deepest penetration by water from the seacoast of any city in the South Atlantic states Its location will be comparable to Birminghams with its canal connections to the Gulf of Mexico From this strategic site Augusta can play a most important role shared by no other Piedmont city

TUFTED INDUSTRY IMPORTANT ECONOMIC FACTOR TO GEORGIA AND PORTS OPERATION
By R E Hamilton
From far corners of the earth come materials for one of the states own industriesTuftingborn nursed and still growing in the mountains of North Georgia More than 52000000 pounds of jute backing from India Scotland and countries on the European continent were used in tufted carpets in 1959 and much of that destined for Georgia tufting plants came through the port of Savannah Carpet wools to be spun into yarns for tufting make up most of the remaining imported materials
Originating as a handcraft in Whitfield County in 1900 tufting first made use of cotton a Georgiaproduced natural fiber Today synthetic fibers such as nylon acrilan viscose acetate and others are used in increasing quantities but in 1958 the industry consumed more than a hundred million pounds of cotton in manufacturing bedspreads rugs robes carpets and industrial fabrics Cotton still accounts for a third of all fibers used in the tufting industry
Total value of shipments made by the tufting industry in the United States in 1958 was 382477000 with Georgia plants accounting for 243772000 of the total
Virtually all carpeting in latemodel American automobiles and many airplanesis tufted And although you dont see it tufted materials go into journal boxes of freight cars as well as into various industrial and home uses
All this was started by a Georgia farm girl who lives today in Dalton across the street from the modern Tufted Textile Manufacturers Association building Hand tufting
probably was a skilled handcraft in colonial days Examples of tufted coverlets made in the late 1700s are preserved in American museums The art flourished particularly in the antebellum South
After the Civil War the art was forgotten In the 1880s Catherine Evans a young farm girl skilled in needlework and quilting saw and admired an old tufted counterpane in the home of a relative She wanted one but no one knew the process by which it was made In 1885 she secured some singleply cotton yarn at a Dalton cotton mill and plied it herself into a heavy 12strand yarn At a local store she bought unbleached muslin and with a dinner plate and ruler she drew off a quilting design on the cloth With the largest bodkin needle she could find she sewed stitches along the pattern and last with scissors cut the heavy yarn between each stitch The bedspread was ready to be boiled in the family washpot in the back yard and hung on the clothesline Sun bleached the sheeting and yarn and Georgia breezes dried and fluffed the tufts she had sewn
In 1898 Miss Evans made a second tufted bedspread again using a popular quilt design In 1900 her brother married and she made a third bedspread as a wedding gift In the home of her sisterinlaw at Trion Ga the bedspread was seen and admired by other women one of whom wrote and asked the Whitfield girl to make another for her
So less than 60 years ago the sale of one tufted bedspread for 250 started a Georgia industry that will gross over 400 millions this yearand has spread around the world Continued on Page 12

One sale led to others and soon Miss Evans was selling all the spreads she could make Then she began to get neighbors to help her Some years later several women in Dalton began to have bedspreads made by rural home workers Sheeting with a design stamped on it and yarn was furnished to the worker Completed bedspreads were packed in Dalton and shipped to stores throughout the country
Within two decades tufted bedspreads were being made by the thousands and during the depression of the early thirties hand tufting in the homes of North Georgia East Tennessee North Alabama and even as far as the Carolinas helped hundreds of families through lean years
The first crude singleneedle machines came into use during the 1930s and with them a new termchenillefor the rows of fluffy tufts Handmade coverlets had been called Candlewick or just plain tufting
Mechanization was hastened by NRA Machines required factories and soon what had been a handcraft carried on in the home became an industry with plants laundries inachine shops etc centered of course in Dalton
Native mechanics quickly began to improve the machinery With great inventive skill they made better tufting machines with two needles four needles a dozen needles until the regular sewing machine could handle no more Machines also made possible the manufacture of small rugs bath sets and robes and housecoats
World War II slowed down the industry with many factories turning to war work Shelter Halves pup tents fragmentation bomb parachutes and many other items were made for the armed services

The limitation in sewing width imposed on tufting machines made from old industrial type sewing machines was overcome by the building of an entirely new kind of tufting machinea yardage machine capable of tufting sheeting for robes or cotton duck for rugs 40 to 50 inches in width It was just another step although a big one to a 100inch machine for tufting entire bedspreads continuously This last development came right after the war
Roomsize rugs usually tufted with cotton yarns but with wool by a few companies were made by tufting threeand fourfoot widths of heavy cotton duck and sewing them together A coating of latex sprayed on the back of rugs and cured in homemade dryers using banks of radiant heat lamps gave the rugs nonskid properties and increased sales
The industry looked at the new wide bedspread machines and at all the bare floors in the country There were no looms wide enough to weave 9foot or 12foot duck backing no dye becks wide enough to dye such carpeting no latexing or drying equipment for these widths But the tufting industry still young vigorous growing rapidly and always indifferent to difficulties built tufting machines and finishing equipment to make 9 and 12foot cotton carpeting in
1950
The past decade has brought the greatest changes and growth Cotton carpets cut and loop pile spread across the floors of the nations homes Viscose pile was introduced Fifteenfoot width carpeting on jute backing came along Nylon acrylics and other manmade fibers took their place alongside cotton and wool
Traditional carpet weaving companies most of them located in the East looked at cotton carpeting and saw little threat to wool velvet wilton and axminster carpets Within a few years they took another lookand started buying Continued on Opposite Page

and building tufting plants in Georgia and other Southern states In 1958 more than half of all soft floor coverings sold in the U S was tufted and the tufted and woven carpet industry was oncentrated in the Southeast
Tufted has become a fourth carpet weave The customer is interested in color texture wearing and cleaning qualities of her floor coverings and neither cares nor can usually tell how her carpet was made Tufting Machines are much faster and more economical to operate than looms They now are producing cut and loop high and low textures in an infinite variety of styles and patterns Tufting has brought prices well below that of traditional weaves and greatly expanded the floor covering market At the same time high styled and high quality tufted carpets and rugs sell well in competition with other kinds of expensive woven Oriental and handcrafted products
In the lobby of the Tufted Textile Manufacturers Association in Dalton a portrait of the Georgia girl now Mrs Catherine Evans Whitener looks down on visitors And across the street the woman who unintentionally started a worldwide industry lives quietly and serenely happy that her needle began something that brought beauty into so many homes created jobs for thousands of people and made her home town the tufting center of the world

Carpeting is inspected at the tufting machine and a number of other times before it is packed for shipment Missing tufts caused by yarn breaks are put in at this point Narrow carpeting coming from the machine at left will be made into floor mats for automobilesPhoto courtesy Cabin Crafts Inc
All tufted carpeting has a coating of latex applied to the back Often a second backing woven of chemically treated paper or jute is applied over the latex This is the delivery end of a huge latex applicator and dryer Latex is applied at the opposite side and is cured during three passages through the 60foot drying chamber Photo courtesy Cabin Crafts Inc
Tufted bedspreads are made on machines varying in size from a needlepunch machine held in the hand of a woman operator to a 120inch wide machine similar to the big carpet yardage machines It is however primarily a smallmachine operation in which women outnumber men Photo courtesy Cabin Crafts Inc

General Gas Corporations riverfront barge terminal at Bainbridge Ga presently stores over one
million gallons of fuel at Tank farm
BAINBRIDGE INLAND PORT ASSURED GROWTH BY SUCCESS OF LOCAL AND NEW INDUSTRY
In the JulyAugust issue of Water Transport Economics Mr Philip Reavis Editor has presented an excellent article entitled Barges Build Business for Fuel Firm This article illustrates quite dramatically the importance of waterborne commerce in serving the people of the State of Georgia With Mr Reavis permission and because of the important aspects of this article we would like to present its interesting features We are most grateful to Mr Reavis and the staff of Water Transport Economics for the opportunity of using this material
The General Gas Corporation of Baton Rouge Louisiana has devised an efficient economic transportation and distribution system that puts the product practically in the customers backyard
Liquefied petroleum gas is the product and like all fuels it is sold primarily on the basis of price and ready availability To keep ample stocks on hand at the lowest possible cost General Gas opened a barge terminal at Bainbridge Georgia in January 1958 It is located adjacent to the Bainbridge State Docks operated by the Georgia Ports Authority Original capacity of this Flint River installation was 16000000 gallons and it was served by a single barge Today the terminal is being expanded to 30000000 gallons annual capacity and a fifth barge is to be added within the next few months
Officials of the General Gas Corporation state that before the Bainbridge terminal was established it often took up to seven days to route a tank car from the Houston area to some Eastern Division plants In times of severe weather conditions this often meant short stocks of fuel at many bulk outlets This problem has been completely overcome
It now takes their highway fleet no more than five hours to deliver substantial quantities of LPGas from the terminal to any of the Eastern Division bulk plants From those points it usually is a matter of less than an hour to the customer
In effect instead of being seven days away the company has now put its source of supply within seven hours reach of any of its farflung customers The move enables General Gas to guarantee delivery to meet almost any type of emergency situation which is a factor of prime importance to purchasers of fuels
Not only is the service faster and more reliable but these competitive advantages have been achieved without pricing the product out of the market In addition to the economies on transportation barging also lends itself to far more efficient handling in this type of operation The difference in the amount of time and manpower needed to unload one barge as opposed to 40 or 50 railcars adds up to some very significant savings
More barge transportation and increased terminal storage has made the Companys future growth very promising The expanding usage of General Gas as an internal combustion engine fuel on the farm and in industry plus the growing number of household customers served by the firm require this extension of their barge service from Texas production points to Eastern markets
The Bainbridge terminal is supplied by barges operating over the Gulf intracoastal canal and the Apalachicola and Flint Rivers The storage installation is operated by Propane Corporation a whollyowned subsidiary of General Gas whose entire Eastern Division activities are directed from regional offices in Macon Ga

NOT WORRIED ABOUT ST LAWRENCE SEAWAY SAYS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Editor s Note Below is an article written by Mr J D Holt for the journal of Commerce newspaper concerning the effect of the St Lawrence Seaway on the ports of Georgia
J D Holt Executive Director of the Georgia Ports Authority stated that the opening of the St Lawrence Seaway has had no effect on exports and imports to the Midwest via the Georgia ports In commenting further Mr Holt said In fact we are not particularly worried about the effect of the St Lawrence Seaway on our business
First of all the tonnages handled through the Port of Savannah have been excellent and Savannah has been able to maintain its continued lead as the No 1 port in the South Atlantic on importexport tonnage The fiscal year 195859 was the second highest tonnage period for the Port of Savannah surpassed only by its own record tonnage peak that was obtained in 195657
We have great confidence in the continued growth and expansion of our ports As evidence of our confidence in increased shipments construction work has already begun on new docking facilities at Brunswick When these facilities are completed the State of Georgia will have still another deepwater port for the handling of general and bulk cargoes
In approximately three weeks the Georgia Ports Authority will advertise for bids for the initial phase of a multimillion dollar inland port at Augusta The inland port at Augusta will represent the point of deepest penetration by water from the seacoast of any city in the South Atlantic states that will serve the entire Piedmont area
Our inland port of Bainbridge continues to grow and expand and new warehousing facilities have just been completed to accommodate the increasing number of businesses and industries using the Port of Bainbridge
As further evidence of our belief that the Port of Savannah will continue to grow and expand three months ago the Georgia Ports Authority purchased a 388acre site adjoining the Savannah State Docks and Warehouses This property is known as the Whitehall Plantation and is one of the largest remaining tracts of undeveloped waterfront property remaining in the Savannah area
From these brief announcements of our expansions I think we illustrate positively that we are not too concerned over the effect of the St Lawrence Seaway on our business Other people
recognize these facts too In Brunswick the Bestwall Gypsum Company has recently completed a multimillion dollar plant attracted there by our port facilities In Augusta Continental Can Company and B F Goodrich Company have purchased properties to build multimillion dollar plants They too were attracted by our port facilities
Every attempt is being made to provide shippers with every available service and equipment Not only is the Port of Savannah suited for the handling of general cargo but it also has the equipment for the handling and rapid processing of bulk cargoes The transportation facilities from the Midwest to the ports of Georgia are unexcelled Five major railroads serve the Port of Savannah as well as fortytwo major truck lines Shippers throughout the affected trade area know that the ports of Georgia operate throughout the year They are unhampered by cold ice jammed waterways and inactivity for four months as will be the ports along the St Lawrence
In summarizing Mr Holt said If the first few months of operation of the St Lawrence Seaway are any indication of the effect they will have on our ports we have no cause to be concerned and in any event with our numerous advantages that have been stated previously I do not believe that they will have any effect In my opinion Savannah and the other ports of Georgia will continue to grow and Savannah will continue to maintain its position as the No 1 port in the South Atlantic

J D Holt Director
Dear Friends
You will find in this issue of the magazine a report of my recently concluded tour of South America with the Georgia Livestock Association This trip was made in an effort to stimulate and increase foreign trade through Georgias ports to and from South America and I am most enthusiastic and optimistic over the results
I am most grateful to the various organizations and companies who made appointments for me Their help was invaluable
South America according to all the economists promises to be the greatest trade center in the world within the next ten to fifteen years and we are determined that Georgia and Georgians shall receive their fair share
JDHwh
Sincerely
J D HOLT Executive Director

Pan American Flight No 771 for Bogota Colombia will leave in approximately ten minutes Passengers will please load through Gate No 11
I had already met several of the members of the Georgia Livestock Association who were taking an 18day trip through South America to promote and stimulate trade in cattle I was along to answer any questions that might arise concerning the shipment of these beef cattle through Georgia s ports This was one of my reasons for taking the trip At the same time I wanted to visit with industrialists commercial attaches steamship line officials importexport brokers bankers and other interested groups in an effort to try to stimulate more trade through Georgias ports To be perfectly honest I didnt know what to expect This was the first time a representative for Georgias ports had made a tour of a foreign country in an effort to increase business Although I had high hopes that the trip would be successful I realized that there were so many unknown factors confronting me
As the plane winged toward Bogota I recalled the stories of the antiAmerican feeling that was growing iii South America I recalled the various articles that I had read stating that America was pricing itself out of the world market and I recalled also the prediction by economists in the United States that within the next ten years South America would offer the greatest trade opportunities of any section of the world There were so many unanswered questions concerning my trip that I was soon to have answered
Bogota is partially encircled by Andean peaks Despite its proximity to the equator Bogotas altitude of 8660 feet above sea level gives it a cool and invigorating climate the year around The leading industries of Bogota are textiles food processing metallurgy pharmaceuticals and miscellaneous rubber products as well as oil The scenery was magnificent but aside from the grandeur and beauty of the city the thing I remembered most concerning my visit there was the conference with steamship line officials Two things impressed me as a result of this conference
One was that the steamship companies were most anxious to be of help and assistance to us in developing trade through Georgias ports to South America and Mr Russell Goode Vice President of Grace Lines was the first to express optimism of the highest form concerning Colombias economy as well as that of South America My talks with businessmen and industrialists in Bogota gave me a hint of the extreme interest in increasing trade with the United States and Georgia that I was to find throughout South America
We arrived in Ecuador on Sunday November 1st Army troops were patroling the City of Quito It was election day as well as a holiday and no traffic was allowed on the streets other than by special permitbut peaceful elections were being held Mr Latherman the Commercial Attache introduced me to various businessmen and other shipping representatives Again this Come same phrase of buiness confi with Me

dence was expressed and South Americans as well as Americans that I talked with agreed on this point While in Quito I also visited an agricultural experimental station set up by the Rockefeller Foundation where they do work on the improvement of breed cattle and small grains
In Lima in Santiago in Montevideo Buenos Aires in Sao Paulo in Rio de Janerio and in Caracas I found the same interest the same desire to trade and the same confidence in a soontobe stabilized economy Representatives of International Harvester Caterpillar Addressograph National Container St Regis CocaCola Creole Oil Anderson Clayton Company General Electric Westinghouseand hundreds of other American firms in South America spoke of this confidence
Without going into specific detail concerning each country there are some observations and impressions that I received that I think are worth mentioning First of all I did not encounter any antiAmerican feeling in talking with South American businessmen industrialists and bankers It is my understanding that except for a few isolated
sections of certain countries most South Americans recognize the fact that it is only natural and profitable for the United States and South America to have cordial trade relations The American Chamber of Commerce the International Cooperative Administration the Point Four Program the World Bank the ExportImport Bank and the Rockefeller Foundation have all done magnificent jobs in South America in meeting specific needs and problems Much to my chagrin I found also that most companies and business people when they think of the United States recognize basically just three ports New York New Orleans and Houston I found extreme interest by South Americans in using the ports of Georgia Just as anyone else these businessmen and industrialists are interestd in savings and when I was able to point out to them the savings that can occur by using Georgias ports they were most interested
I found the feeling among the people whom I talked with that it wasnt so much that America was pricing its goods out of world markets as the fact that America and the United States Continued on Page 7
I SAW SOMETHING OLD SOMETHING NEW

Being loaded for shipment to South America this vessel could well be the forerunner of increased trade with our South American neighbor
Continued from Page 6 needed to make the hardsell pitch They point out further that plants industries and businesses are springing up throughout South America Construction of highways roads and bridges is at an alltime high This means that more people will be employed earn more money and be in a position to buy consumer goodsand the United States can certainly furnish these goods to them We have become so accustomed to a favorable balance of trade that we dont think we have to sell but believe you me other nations particularly Italy Japan Germany and England are making the hardsell and with excellent results They have trade missions and representatives in South America on a full time basis They have employed the hardsell in their activities In other words they have information readily available they are available for consultation on goods shipments rates and services I found also some slight criticism on the part of South American business people for the strict credit controls imposed upon them by various companies and organizations in the United States other countries are much more lenient I found an interest
in Georgia in Georgias products as well as its portsand I speak most confidently of this
When my plane left Caracas so many of my questions had been answered I no longer felt that I was dealing with the unknown With the interest shown to me in Georgias ports and its products with the fine and wonderful cooperation offered by the commercial attaches and American steamship line companies and representatives of American industry I am sure that we can look forward to increased trade through Georgias ports with South America
My trip proved educational and promotional but we dont intend to stop there The commercial attaches in each country have provided for us the information the leads and the contacts and we intend to make use of them We are already sending out detailed information to various organizations and companies concerning factual data that they have requested We are preparing in Spanish a brochure to go to the various South American countries informing them of Georgia and Georgias ports We will continue to strive to see that this job progresses to the benefit of Georgia and Georgians

COMMENT GOOD ON PORTS DIRECTORS TRIP
Editors Note Below is an editorial that appeared in the November 20th issue of the Savannah Evening Press newspaper Not only are we appreciative of this support but we are most appreciative of the support that has been given us by the various news media businessmen industrialists and government officials in our efforts to stimulate and increase business through Georgians ports
The Sell Savannah trip made to South America by Georgia Ports Authority Director Jack Holt represents the sort of aggressive farsighted promotion that the Port of Savannah can well use
He came back from his tour with optimistic views on the possibility of Savannah wooing away from rival eastern seaboard ports in a sizable share of South American shipping business principally in sulphur and cattle
An overall promotion program carrying out an aggressive and positive trade stimulation effort was mentioned by the Ports Director
We can think of little that could have more possibilities for the port the city the county and the entire state Increased business through the local port has definite effects on business and commerce throughout Georgia
Georgia is still lagging behind its sisterstates of South Carolina
North Carolina Alabama and others in the funds that have been earmarked for port development South Carolina to cite just one instance is spending some 25 million to improve facilities at its state ports and North Carolina and Alabama are not far behind
Perhaps stimulated business and interest in the port brought about by such aggressive salesmanship as that demonstrated by Mr
Holt will inspire Georgias lawmakers to pay as much attention to the value of their states ports as their colleagues in other states are doing
For the good of all Georgia we hope so

Dear Friends
This has been a year of important progress for the Georgia Ports Authority
In every phase of our activity and business life we have had constructive growth Our new multimillion dollar port construction program at Brunswick is well underway and should be completed by the middle of 1960 The construction of a new Thead pier has begun at the Garden City Terminal of the Savannah State Docks and Warehouses Several new companies have leased warehouse space as well as land on the Georgia Ports Authoritys property at Savannah and Bainbridge Our trade and exportimport business has grown so that we are still the number one port of the South Atlantic
We have progressed in other fields also Our solicitation force has been increased to meet the pressing demands of an expanding economy We have established a full time office in New York as well as the establishment of a full time Georgia representative These men along with our inland office personnel are better able to serve industry business and agriculture
We are increasing our activity of informing the public as well as business and industry of our services and facilities A new color sound movie a monthly magazine various brochures and an impact study of the effect of Georgias ports on key indicies on the economy a foreign trade display and a business promotion trip to South America are just a few of the public relations activities for the year
Savannah has been able to maintain the position as the leading Southeastern port of the South Atlantic Of this we are justly proud
We are looking forward confidently to the future
Sincerely
j D HOLT Executive Director

Economic Impact Study Shows Effect on all Georgia
The adjacent map shows the origination and the destination of imports for products and goods that entered or left the Garden City Terminal operated by the Georgia Ports Authority at Savannah A glance at the map indicates very clearly that every county and practically every city and town in Georgia is affected by water borne commerce This is just one of the many facts that will be revealed by the impact study now being concluded by the Georgia State College of Business Administration In a preliminary report Dr Jack Blicksilver and Mrs Mary H Bowdoin have released the following information
It is with great pleasure that we take this opportunity to acquaint you with some of the principal conclusions we have thus far drawn in our study of the impact of the ports of Georgia upon the economy of the state Our approach has been to study first the direct impact of waterborne commerce upon the port cities of Georgia particularly Savannah in terms of employment wages and taxes paid to the county and state as products moving through the ports are handled and in some cases processed near the docks and then to broaden the scope of the analysis to consider the total impact upon the state by focusing attention upon the type and quantity of commodities shipped through the ports of Georgia and their point of origin or destination within the state
On the basis of informed conservative estimates by the directors of business firms located in the Savannah area see Appendix 1 and the official figures of the State Department of Labor a minimum of 5900 employees and an annual payroll in excess of twentyeight million dollars can be attributed directly to the operation of the port not counting those employed by railroads and truck lines If we employ the somewhat lessexact criterion of whether the firms involved could be expected to survive in their present form without such transportation facilities available to support them the totals would be much higher A number of firms which rely only partly on waterborne commerce have informed us that they located at the port city primarily because of the location and efficient operation of the port The President of the Dowling Bag Company a recent installation in Savannah for example has authorized us to quote his statement that without Savannah as a port we would have to move To a large scrapmetal dealer the port is regarded the lifeblood of our business The large number of petroleum terminals asphalt processing plants food producing firms fertilizer and chemical makers and manufacturers of paper products all derive marked competitive advantages from direct access to cheap and efficient water transportation If we accept the standard of attributing to the impact of waterborne commerce total employment of firms deriving major benefits from the use of the port approximately 12000 employees and an annual payroll of well over fifty million dollars would be involved at Savannah alone
In addition an increasing number of firms are being established which depend upon local waterbased concerns for their basic raw materials The growing significance of these tandem operations is making Savannah more than ever the principal manufacturing port city of the South Atlantic states
Although we cannot yet make a firm generalization regarding county and state tax datasince this information is currently being tabulated for us by the State Revenue Departmentfrom the figures voluntarily supplied by representative business firms we have every reason to believe that this sum which of course directly benefits the entire state of Georgia will be equally impressive
The information that we have received indicates clearly that a number of firms are eagerly awaiting the completion of the improved port facilities at Brunswick and that an increasing flow of barge
Continued on Page 10
Continued from Page 9 traffic with resulting benefits to numerous firms located in Georgia can be confidently expected from the recentlydeveloped facilities at Bainbridge
But of even greater importance to the economic development of Georgia than the employment and taxes generated through the location of firms directly at the port sites are the benefits received by business firms throughout the length and breadth of the state from an efficientlyoperated nearby port In a broad sense every producer and consumer in Georgia derives benefits since without the ports shippers in other states and those in charge of competing modes of transportation could establish their rates with impunity without facing the danger of potential competition More specifically our study of the movement of goods through the Savannah State Docks discloses that agricultural lumbering mining and industrial firms in well over 100 counties located in every section of the state are directly engaged in importing andor exporting an everincreasing variety and quantity of raw materials semifinished and completely processed products The ports of Georgia are powerfully facilitating the transition to a healthy wellbalanced economy and to a steadily rising per capita income
In response to a questionnaire sent to firms throughout the state a copy of which we are inclosing for your information see Appendix II we have received numerous statements attesting to the benefits derived from the location of the ports and to their efficient operation
by the Georgia Ports Authority While most respondents have requested that they remain anonymous the general tenor of their remarks has been that the ports gave them a competitive advantage in terms of speed convenience and cheapness of transportation For example a northwest Georgia carpet manufacturing firm importing burlap indicated that it enjoyed dollar savings of slightly over ten per cent compared to the nearest competing port as well as a delivery advantage of a full day in transit time A Cherokee County firm stated that it found a onehalf to one penny per pound freight advantage exporting from Savannah Letters in our file from companies located in Hall Carroll Muscogee Fulton and Wayne counties among others concur in stressing the advantages of using Georgia ports in terms of faster delivery and lower freight rates A firm which imports jute noted as much as a 55 per cent differential in rates over alternate ports and a much faster delivery as well A Morgan county firm which exports cowpeas and soybeans and imports fencing materials barbed wire and nails asserted flatly that it would be unable to do importexport business unless Georgia ports were available
On the other hand we have learned from a number of firms scattered throughout the state that they would prefer to use the ports of Georgia and would benefit by doing so at the same time that they could pass savings on to their customers but were forced to use rival ports because of infrequency of Continued on Page 11

Continued from Page 10 sailings and in some cases by inadequate facilities for the handling of their particular product at Savannah It is our considered opinion on the basis of these replies that improved facilities at the State Docks in terms of additional berths and more adequate transit shed space would redound to the marked advantage of numerous firms throughout the state and would serve to encourage firms to locate in Georgia A snowball effect would surely develop as improved facilities would lead to more frequent and better service which in turn would result in additional steamship agencies and freight forwarders being located at Georgia ports which would eventuate in reduced charges improved handling service and an evergrowing number of firms that would use the ports One of the things which most impressed us in this study was the number of firms located in Georgia which would use the ports of the state and derive economic advantages in so doing were facilities improved and sailings made more frequent We hope to elaborate on this and other points in our full study which is scheduled for release on January 15th
It would be most ungracious for us to close this brief report without paying tribute to the Department of Labor and the Revenue Department for their full
cooperation in supplying us with official figures upon which we can confidently buttress our conclusions
Very truly yours

West German Trade Officer Visits Port
Dr Eric E Bendheim Trade Promotion Officer of the West German Government recently visited Savannah While here he conferred with Mr Joseph G Stovall of the United States Department of Commerce Mr J D Holt Executive Director of the Georgia Ports Authority and personnel of the Savannah District Authority as well as other business industrial and civic groups Dr Bendheim stated that he would strongly recommend to a group of Rhineland industrialists that Savannah be considered for the location of noncompetitive industry when they visit the United States next spring Dr Bendheim declared that there were various reasons for his trip here to Savannah One was the increased trade between the Federal Republic of Germany and Georgia to see that all ports in the United States get a fair share of West German trade and to investigate the possibility of locating branch factories of West German Industry in Savannah
Dr Bendheim stated that Savannah would be attractive to industry because of its steady labor force good labor relations ample water supply friendliness of the city and cultural background Dr Bendheim was a guest of Governor Ernest Vandiver and his tour was arranged by Mr Abit Massey Director of the Georgia State Department of Commerce in Atlanta

WE GET LETTERS
EDITORS NOTE Response to Governor Vandivers announcement on Georgia Ports development was met with enthusiasm throughout Georgia Excerpts from letters are presented herewith
Gentlemen
We were certainly pleased to learn of Governor Vandivers appropriation of some 450000000 to the Savannah State Docks to build additional facilities at the Garden City Terminals and to repair and rehabilitate berths at the Ocean Terminals
This is certainly good news for it will help considerably toward keeping Savannah in its rightful position as the leading South Atlantic Port and will be of great assistance in the industrial growth of the entire state of Georgia
Yours very truly

Dear Sir
We were delighted at the action of Governor Vandiver in making available funds for rehabilitation and expansion of the State Docks property which is so badly needed
The berth facilities as you know have been badly taxed to take care of the current flow of traffic through Savannah and the expansion and improvements contemplated will certainly go a long
way in assisting the ships serving the port in the
way of dispatch shippers and receivers of cargo vreat Day f0r l p

Georgias ports have a tremendous potential and their activity affects every section of the State
The docks at Savannah were jammed during December and the flow of commerce is at full I tide
Our neighboring states of Alabama and South Carolina recently plowed into their ports 22000000 and 21000000 respectively We must meet the competition and pull more trade into our own
State harbors
To do this I propose to budget 4000000 for two new cargo I berths and 75000 for another ex pansion at Savannah Docks 425
000 for building up the old Savannah Terminal and 250000 for construction and land purchase at the Port of Augusta
Wednesday Jan 13 1960 ttjf Htfanti Journal
The Docks Redeemed
THE GEORGIA Ports Authority now is in position to make a fresh start on an ambitious development program
The group inherited a bad situation from the Griffin administration in the form of unrealistic terms of a sale to it of the Central of Georgias partly obsolete old waterfront terminals in Savannah
But the authority partly has renegotiated some of the sale terms with the result that it can start reclaiming the bad purchase
In addition it is one of the favored agencies mentioned in the governors address to the General Assembly and stands to come into enough state funds to enable it to add three more berths to its modern facilities upriver from the old Central docks as well as go ahead with plans for the new inland port at Augusta and see to the continuing prosperity of Brunswick on tidewater and Bainbridge on the Flint
This authority as reconstructed by Gov Vandiver at least has alleviated the inherited hangover of the Central docks purchase

BOARD ENHORNES GOVERNORS PORTS MESSAGE
Statement of Mr Robert C Norman Chairman of the Georgia Ports Authority at press conference in Atlanta Georgia on Monday January 11 1960
General Remarks
Ladies and Gentlemen Governor Vandivers allocation of 4750000 to the Georgia Ports Authority program represents a most constructive progressive and positive approach in providing services economic gains and benefits to Georgias business agricultural and industrial life These funds that Governor Vandiver has made available are by far the largest sums ever provided for port facilities in Georgia With the previous allocation by the Governor of approximately 1000000 for the purchase of the Whitehall property in Savannah this brings the total moneys allocated by Governor Vandiver during his first years administration for port development to 5750000
We are grateful to the Governor members of the General Assembly the Port Committee of the General Assembly the Port Committee of the General Assembly the various civic organizations associations and Chambers of Commerceshippers businesses and industries for their support in an expanded port operations program Before I discuss with you a detailed analysis of how these funds will be spent and the plans we have made I would also like to extend my thanks to the
news media throughout the State for their support We are indeed most grateful to all of the people throughout the entire State of Georgia who have spent so much time and effort in advancing our goals
All Georgians benefit by expanded port operations even though they do not live in a port city In a study now being completed by the Georgia State College of Business Administration to be released within the next week businesses industries and agriculture in every section of our State either receive or ship goods through Georgia ports With these funds available the Port of Savannah which today ranks as the Number 1 port in the South Atlantic in exportimport tonnage will be able to maintain and increase its position of leadership Now because of these funds we can invite additional steamship lines to call at Georgias ports We can assure Georgias business and industries that their raw materials as well as finished goods can enter and leave through Georgias ports The farmer and agriculturist will have a close and ready extended outlet for his goods and products The thousands of Georgians who are dependent upon commerce generated through the port rail and truck lineswill benefit by increased trade
Specifically let me discuss our plans with you for improving Georgias great
est natural assetits deep water
harbors and rivers
Savannah Garden City Terminal
You are familiar I am sure with the huge port expansion programs under way in neighboring and competing States South Carolina is spending 21000000 North Carolina 9500000 Yet the Port of Savannah which up until this year has received only 133701466 in aid from the State still ranks as the Number 1 port in the South Atlantic in exportimport tonnage according to a report by the U S Corps of Engineers
We operate in Savannah as you know the Garden City Terminal and the Ocean Terminal Our Garden City Terminal has been in operation only five years yet in this relatively short period of time tonnage at this facility increased from 232920 tons to 870251 tons and vessels calling at this facility jumped from 46 to 431almost tenfold In five years we have reached 100 operating capacity at these facilities This past year alone although our Garden City facility operated at a maximum capacity and efficiency 28 ships were diverted from here due to congestion at the berths In order to relieve this congestion the 4000000 allocated by the Governor for new con struction at the Garden City Terminal will enable us to provide three addi
Continued on Page 8
Page Seven
Board Endorses Governors
Continued from Page 1 tional berths These three berths will be built at the northwestern end adjoining the Garden City Terminal toward the Whitehall property 75000 will be spent in completing a second Thead pier at the southern end of the Garden City Terminal to handle a variety of petroleum products molasses latex and petrochemicals This will further reduce congestion and provide more available berthing space for vessels
Careful and detailed study of the proposed plans for these additional berths has already been given by the staff and members of the Port Authority and preliminary plans have already been completed A contract for design of final plans will be awarded immediately and construction will begin as soon as these plans are completed We have set as a target date July 1 1960
Savannah Ocean Terminal
Our other facility at Savannah the Ocean Terminal has been operated by the Ports Authority for just a little over a year This facility was purchased from the Central of Georgia Railway in November 1958 During our first year of operation tonnage handled per berth at Ocean Terminal increased 105 or more than doubled as compared to the previous year Our revenues available for the payment of interest have amounted to more than the interest accrued for this period For some time now negotiations have been conducted by the Georgia Ports Authority and our principal creditor the Central of Georgia Railway in an effort to make certain needed improvements We have received excellent cooperation from Mr A W Ledbetter Chairman of the Board of the Central and his staff Mr Thomas Johnson and Mr Anton F Solms as well as the other members of the Authority have worked
closely with Mr Ledbetter and his staff in reaching the following agreement
The Central of Georgia Railway has agreed that the principal payments due them by the Ports Authority in the amount of 218000 for the years 196061 and 62 will be deferred until November 1 1988 Under the agreement interest payments will be made if earned during this same period and if not earned adequate protection against default has been provided by the new agreement After 1962 any accrued interest not earned and paid will be prorated over the remaining twentysix years of the life of the bond issue We believe that under the new and expanded program at the Ocean Terminal made possible by the action of the Governor we will be able to make interest payments on schedule
The grant of 425000 by Governor Vandiver will enable us to make substantial improvements to berthing and docking facilities and to construct storage and truck facilities at the Ocean Terminal The engineering study for the construction of these improvements has already been completed and work will begin at once and should be completed on or about August 1 1960 We look forward to greatly increased business at Ocean Terminal when these changes have been completed and expect our earnings to increase proportionately
Under the program made possible by Governor Vandiver the new construction at Garden City and major improvements at Ocean Terminal will more than double our berthing facilities at Savannah Instead of five operational berths we will have twelve In addition we have three berths leased to private firms making a total of fifteen berths This is considerably more than our competing States The Ports Authority Continued on Page 12

Brunswick
During the past year construction was begun on new deep water facilities at Brunswick The Georgia Ports Authoritys 2000000 terminal at Brunswick is to be completed in June of this year Already cargo and ships are being attracted to Brunswicks new facilities and with its excellent deep water harbor Georgia can certainly be proud of its second deep water port
Augusta
250000 has been allocated for development and construction of Georgias second inland port the Augusta State Docks as previously discussed with you in detail
Conclusion
With the planned new construction work and modernization program to begin in Savannah with Augusta becoming Georgias second inland port with completion of our new facilities in Brunswick in June with increased tonnage at our inland port of Bainbridge with our capable and enthusiastic staff and with the fine support of Governor Vandiver and members of the Legislature Georgia without a doubt has embarked on a new era of water
ways development to provide gains and benefits to all Georgians
Statement of Robert C Norman Chairman of the Georgia Ports Authority at press conference in Atlanta Georgia on Monday January 11 1960
Augusta
I am delighted and gratified at the action of Governor Vandiver in allocating an additional 250000 for the development of the Augusta State Docks This represents a total of 400000 that has been made available by the State for the development of Georgias second inland port at Augusta We believe that with this additional allocation adequate funds are now available for the construction of the first phase of the Augusta State Docks
In advising me personally of his decision to make this money available for the Augusta Port Governor Vandiver remarked at the excellent cooperation and initiative shown by the people of Augusta and Richmond County and more particularly by the Mayor Honorable Millard A Beckum The City Council of Augusta the Augusta Ports Authority the County Commissioners the Augusta Chamber of Commerce the Committee of 100 and the Legislative Delegation from Richmond County As an illustration of the enthusiastic attitude of all the people of Augusta and Richmond County and
its surrounding area toward this important step in the development of the Savannah River the Mayor and City Council of Augusta deeded approximately 80 acres of river front land to the Georgia Ports Authority on the river side of the levee and just recently presented a deed to Governor Vandiver and to the State for an additional 19 acres on the land side of the levee for which The City Council of Augusta paid approximately 84000 It is believed that a conservative valuation of the land conveyed to the Georgia Ports Authority by the City of Augusta is 250000 It is this type of cooperation which has prompted the Governor to take this additional step at this time The members of the Ports Authority and the staff of the Georgia Ports Authority are bending every effort toward developing maximum tonnage on the river at the earliest practicable date
Plans are now being completed for a concentrated solicitation trip to principal cities along the Eastern seaboard by Port officials and local representatives from Augusta during the month of January to further the development and growth of Augustas port
The additional allocation of funds in the amount of 4 million dollars by Governor Vandiver for expansion of the State facilities in Savannah will likewise prove of great benefit to the deContinued on Page 15

The waterways connection between Savannah and Augusta can be one of Georgias most significant assets since it ties in the industrial Piedmont area of Georgia and South Carolina through Augusta with the deep water port at Savannah accessible to the great trade markets of the world and to the vast system of domestic waterways With the work of deepening widening and improving the channel between Savannah and Augusta now under way by the U S Engineers a nine foot channel open the entire year will soon he a reality
The total sum of 4750000 allocated to Savannah and Augusta is the largest amount ever appropriated for Port development and improvement in the history of our State We are gratified that the Governor and the members of the Legislature recognize that an investment in port facilities and development is a sound investment in Georgias economic future which will continue to pay dividends in the years ahead and which will mean further expansion of commercial agricultural and industrial activity in our State

STRACHAN SHIPPING CO Yours very truly
F D M Strachan Jr President Savannah Ga
Dear Sir
We are delighted that the Georgia Ports Authority has received such resounding support from the Governor and the General Assembly and further that substantial funds are assured for essential improvements and expansion of the Savannah State Docks
Sincerely
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE OF SAVANNAH I A Metz Jr
Executive Director
Dear Sir
Since and actually before the inception of the Georgia Ports Authority the Savannah District Authority has been a strong advocate of a State Ports Program The Savannah District Authority was established originally as the Savannah Port Authority in 1925 Shortly thereafter the Industrial Committee of Savannah Incorporated was formed in 1928 and as the Georgia Ports Authority took stature the two local organizations merged and under the local Port Authority Act and by Constitutional amendment the name of the new organization was adopted as the Savannah District Authority This name was taken in order to give distinction between the Georgia Ports Authority and the local body
During the years we have endeavored to be of assistance to your organization in many ways through Board level cooperation staff assistance and generally in working together on mutual objectives Our work as you know is primarily concerned with industrial development for the Savannah area but we also have a vital interest in the maintenance and improvement of Savannah harbor which of course is essential to the operations conducted by the Georgia Ports Authority in the form of the Savannah State Docks Warehouses Garden City Terminal and Ocean Terminal
It is with great satisfaction and appreciation that we take note of Governor Ernest Vandivers recommendations to the State Legislature that 45 million
be made available for the future expansion of the Garden City Terminal and for improvement of the Ocean Terminal We consider this the most forward step yet taken by a State Administration and by the Georgia Ports Authority in the effort to develop the full potential of Georgia ports

GEORGIAS CUSTOMS DISTRICT HANDLES NEARLY 200 MILLION WORTH OF FOREIGN COMMERCE IN 1959 Georgias customs district in 1959 handled goods bound to and from foreign countries valued at 1899 million according to the Savannah Field Office of the U S Department of Commerce
Gains in imports to which the States customs district could point consistently during the year continued to prevail as 1959 ended resulting in a rise in total trading over 1958 by some 142 million
Imports ran far ahead of exports shipments from other countries entering the State approximating 1029 million which compared with only 869 million on the export side a study of the Bureau of the Census monthly reports showed
The 1959 value of exports was off around 200000 from 1958 a relatively small amount when considering the fact that other southern customs districts were showing losses of from 16 million in South Carolina to as high as 952 million in New Orleans
By the same token the Georgia district could not boast of as big a gain in value of imports as other districts in the Southeast since its increase of 144 million over 1958 compared with 321 million in North Carolina 326 million in South Carolina 525 million in Florida 382 million in Mobile and 533 million in New Orleans

Customs Plays Important Role In Daily Living
We are grateful to Mrs Jessie D Sayler Collector of Customs for her article concerning the Customs Office entitled Mr and Mrs Traveler and All the Little Travelers This article is especially timely in view of the fact several scheduled sailings of passenger ships are leaving Savannah this spring
Does Customs affect you The answer is Yesnot only in your travels but in your daily living
Take a look at the ships in our river big ones small ones grimy ones many with beautiful and different foreign names They are bringing you various interesting importsthe coffee bean that makes you that delightful cup of coffee every morningor maybe the colorful glasses that you have on your shelf or the clay used in making your china The newspaper you are reading perhaps is printed on newsprint from Canada The tea that you drink and enjoy or perhaps the cane that produces the sugar that we use daily are imported Last year here in our Savannah we had approximately 1000 foreign ships call and we collected over 600000000 in duty The rates of duty vary according to the
many different commodities Here at the Customhouse we have a most efficient laboratory that determines the contents of imports and an appraiser who determines their value
During the years Congress has assigned a wide range of responsibilities to the Customs Servicethe movement of carriers goods and persons the navigation laws concerned with documentation ownership and trade of merchant vessels foreign and domestic fishing vessels and yachts and collection of tonnage tax We are charged with law enforcement the prevention of smuggling as well as prohibiting stowaways from entering Our patrol a group of nine officers covers the coast from Charleston to Jacksonville Our inspectors are busy releasing merchandise not only on the waterfront but at airports Hunter and Travis Fields and at the Post Office and Express office
Our mostasked question from tourists is What can I bring back If you are returning from a fortyeight hour trip outside the United States you have an exemption of 20000 however you can only claim this once in every 31 days If the visit stretches to 12 days you are allowed an additional 30000 Continued on Page 14

PINE SEEDLINGS GROWING IN UNION BAGCAMP NURSERIESBELLVILLEGA
100 MILLION TREES
Thats how many trees Union BagCamp has planted on its land since it began its forestry program back in 1936
If 100 million pine trees were planted on a single tract of land they would cover more than 133000 acres
If one twoman planting crew had to plant 100 million trees it would take them 40 years to get them in the ground
And if they were planted in a single row six feet apart they would stretch around the equator four and a half times
Progress in forestry means putting back timber resources as they are used And because they are being replenished there will always be forests growing in Georgia and in the Southtomorrow and beyond
Were also pleased that we have had the privilege of making available to our neighboring landowners 48 million pine seedlings for planting on their properties and without cost to them

Customs Plays Important Role
Continued from Page 7
duty free purchases This exemption can only be claimed every 6 months Members of a family traveling together can pool their exemptions Residents of the United States even those under 21 are entitled to one gallon of liquor duty free Tobacco allowances are very liberal you can bring in up to 100 cigars and all the cigarettes you want A traveler abroad can send direct and duty free as many presents of less than
1000 each as he likes so long as the purchases are not made as an accommodation to others and never more than one a day to the same person
The Customs officer wants cooperation and above all honesty His experienced eyes can usually spot the most accomplished smuggler so clever travelers dont try to fool him

Progress and Activity Noted In Report To Governor By Georgia Ports Authority
This past year 1959 has been one of tremendous growth It has been a year also of concerted business efforta year of service and a year highlighted by expansion to meet the ever increasing demands placed upon our port facilities It has been a year of changes in types of cargo affecting our operations as well as changes in procedure to provide more efficient operation
EXPANSION AND CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM
BRUNSWICK
Several new and needed projects were begun this past year Of primary interest has been the awarding of a contract and actual construction of Georgias second deepwater port at Brunswick Construction of this new 500 feet pier with accompanying transit shed and necessary equipment is scheduled for completion in August 1960 Already ships are being attracted to Brunswicks new facility and with its excellent deepwater harbor Georgia can certainly be proud of its second deepwater port Plans for the dedication of this new facility in August of this year are being formulated now A committee to handle this program has already been formed and the Georgia Ports Authority is working closely with them
GARDEN CITY TERMINAL
At the Savannah State DocksGarden City Terminalconstruction of a new Thead pier to handle petroleum products molasses latex and petro chemicals was started
This past year although our Garden City facility operated at a maximum capacity and efficiency 28 ships were diverted from here due to congestion at the berths In order to relieve this congestion the 4000000 allocated by you for new construction at the Garden City Terminal will enable us to provide three additional berths The services of an engineering firm are currently engaged in drawing final plans for these three berths Actual construction is scheduled to begin in August of this year
OCEAN TERMINAL
Our other facility at Savannah the Ocean Terminal has been operated by the Ports Authority for just a little over a year During our first year of operation tonnage handled by berths at Ocean Terminal increased 105 or more than doubled as compared with the previous year Our revenues available for payment of interest have amounted to more than the interest accrued for this period The grant of 425000 will enable us to make substantial improvements to berthing and docking facilities and to construct storage and truck facilities at the Ocean Terminal Contracts for this work have been let and the work should be completed on or about August 1 1960
BAINBRIDGE
A new storage pad at Bainbridge was completed to add to the modern facilities there
GENERAL
Needed equipment for more efficient handling and operation has been purchased Our equipment is as modern as any on the South Atlantic
Modernization of the administration building in Savannah was begun to provide the needed facilities to expedite shipments This will enable us also to provide better services to customers and more efficient conduct of business

At Augusta extensive engineering work is being done in an effort to finalize plans for the construction of Georgias second inland barge terminal Your grant of 250000 added to the 150000 that has already been made available will greatly aid construction at Augusta Numerous conferences have been held with engineers barge operators shippers and businessmen Based upon these conferences we hope that the first phase of the Augusta State Docks will soon become a reality
OPERATIONS
New highs in tonnage were experienced this past year at all of the Georgia Ports Authoritys operations
Even in the face of increasing rising costs we have been able to maintain a modest yearend profit
One of the things we recognized was that our charges were not realistic if we were to continue to be selfsupporting in our operations
Numerous joint conferences with other Port Authority personnel in the South Atlantic area have resulted in new business like charges that have already gone into effect to help meet increasing rising costs
The Garden City Terminal has been in operation only six years Within this relatively short period of time tonnage at this facility increased from 232920 tons to 870251 tons and vessels calling at this facility jumped from 46 to 431almost tenfold
In six years we have operated in excess of 100 efficient capacity at this facility
Certain sections of the bond indenture for the Ocean Terminal have been renegotiated to provide a moratorium for certain needed improvements to berthing and docking facilities there
Under the program made possible by you the new construction at Garden City and major improvements at Ocean Terminal will more than double our berthing facilities at Savannah Instead of five operational berths we will have twelve In addition we have three berths leased to private firms making a total of fifteen berths This is considerably more than our competing States The Ports Authority of South Carolina operates nine berths at Charleston the North Carolina Ports Authority operates four berths ai Wilmington
The maintenance and repair shops have been consolidated and completely reorganized
GOVERNOR VANDIVER
to provide savings as well as more efficient operations
The Security Force has been reorganized to provide adequate protection of the properties as well as goods in transit
PERSONNEL
A fulltime representative for the Georgia Ports Authority in the important New York area was assured when the Ports Authority established a New York office with a complete staff
We were able to establish this office by savings that resulted in the reorganization of personnel and adoption of better business procedures at our Garden City facility
In order to provide better services and information to Georgia businessmen industrialists and agriculturists of our State and surrounding area a new Georgia representative was selected He will spend his time and efforts in acquainting Georgia businessmen industrialists and agriculturists with the savings and services that they can derive by shipping through Georgias ports
Preliminary plans have been made for the establishment of a new Chicago office in the important trade area of the Midwest The establishment of this office was made possible by the donation of funds from the City of Savannah Chatham County Savannah Chamber of Commerce and the Savannah District Authority
Departments within the Georgia Ports Authoritys organization have been consolidated and reorganized for more effective internal coordination
PUBLIC RELATIONS AND PROMOTION
The Public Relations program has been expanded in an effort to adequately inform all segments of Georgias economic life as well as business and industry in our affected trade area of the services and advantages accrued in using Georgias ports
Approximately 200 speeches were made to various business civic and commercial groups by the Speakers Bureau of the Ports Authority
For the first time in the Georgia Ports Authoritys history a monthly trade magazine was initiated to supply continuing information to our regular customers as well as to prospective new customersand this at no cost to the Authority

A new color brochure describing Georgias complete port operations has been distributed
An Impact Study on the effect of waterborne commerce on Georgias economy was completed Among other things this report shows that
By applying the formula of the percentage of total business associated with or derived from waterborne commerce to state corporate income sales and use and license taxes paid by portdependent firms located at Savannah it was determined that 22 million dollars in state tax revenue can be attributed to portrelated activities
Through tracing the origin and destination of all inbound and outbound railroad freight cars handled at the State Docks in Savannah for the period July 1 1958 to June 30 1959 as well as all truck haul movements through these facilities during July 1958 November 1958 and March 1959 it was disclosed that 118 counties situated in all parts of Georgia were directly engaged in waterborne commerce through Savannah State Docks Of these counties 106 received goods from foreign countries andor the states 59 shipped products through the port and 47 countries both imported and exported
A regional breakdown on Georgia into nine sections which possess within themselves considerably physiographic and economic homogeneity and a study of the movement of waterborne commerce originating in and destined for the counties in these sections underscores the fact that the transition in Georgia to a more wellrounded diversified economy is being powerfully facilitated by the flow of goods through the ports of Savannah Brunswick and Bainbridge
Statements of portusing businessmen in all nine regions who are engaged in agricultural lumbering mining and industrial activities attest to the fact that firms throughout the state derive economic advantages in using the ports of Georgia largely in terms of faster delivery better service to their customers and lower inland freight rates
A new industrial brochure concerning the Whitehall Plantation property designed and prepared by the Georgia Ports Authority and the Savannah District Authority has been distributed
A worldwide advertising program has begun

Chairman Of Georgia Ports Authority Speaks Before Foreign Trade Association In Atlanta
This is a speech that was delivered recently by Mr Robert C Norman Chairman of the Georgia Ports Authority in Atlanta Georgia to the Foreign Trade Association Because of the extreme interest and requests for this speech it is a pleasure for us to reprint it here for you
To all of us tradition and custom certainly play an important role in our daily lives It has always been customary and traditional to have lemonade at a picnicto have hopping John on New Years Day to play a practical joke on our friends on April Fools Day and even break a bottle of champagne over the bow of a ship when it is being christened Each one of you here today I am sure can think of numerous customs and traditions that have a special meaning to you personally
Tradition and custom certainly add meaning and color to our activities Now I suppose that some of you here are wondering why I have started my speech talking about traditions and customs By profession as you know I am an attorney and tradition and custom certainly has its place in the law profession Also since assuming my new duties last year as Chairman of the Georgia Ports Authority I have come to learn that tradition and custom play a role in port and shipping operations In talking with various business men steamship officials shippers people engaged in exportimport business and other operations occasionally you hear these expressions during the course of the conversation Traditionally we have always shipped our goods through Mobile It has always been our custom to use Charleston
These remarks have been most interesting to me I would like to express my feelings on this matter of tradition
and custom by giving you a quotation from Franz Boas It is as follows
Conformity keeps tradition alive nonconformity breaks through tradition and if directed by reason helps to free us from the errors of the past
The Port of Savannah itself has traditions and customs But the Georgia Ports Authority operations are relatively new Since we are new we dont have to change any old habits We can concentrate on forming new habits These new habits in turn I hope will become tradition and custom
Let me give you some reasons why we think our habits are becoming tradition and custom
We operate in Savannah as you know the Garden City Terminal and the Ocean Terminal Our Garden City Terminal has been in operation only five years yet in this relatively short period of time tonnage at this facility increased from 232920 tons to 870251 tons and vessels calling at this facility jumped from 46 to 431almost tenfold
Last year at the Port of Savannah over 2000 vessels called
In January of this year Governor Vandiver announced the allocation of 4500000 for the Port of Savannah This is by far the largest amount of money ever allocated for port expansion in Georgia With this money we will build three new additional berths at the Garden City Terminal and make major improvements in berthing facilities at the Ocean Terminal When this work is completed instead of five operational berths at Savannah we will have 12 In addition we have three berths leased to private firms making a total of 15 berths This is considerably more than our competing states The Ports Authority of South Carolina operates 9 berths at Charleston and the
North Carolina Ports Authority operates 4 berths at Wilmington With these funds and the ensuing construction the Port of Savannah which is today ranked as the number one port in the South Atlantic in export and import tonnage will be able to maintain and increase its position of leadership
According to the latest report issued by the United States Corps of Engineers on Waterborne Commerce Charleston had 1336975 import tonnage and 258187 export tonnage Jacksonville had 1625067 import tonnage and 250970 export tonnage Wilmington had 490340 import tonnage and 179437 export tonnage Savannah had 1934444 import tonnage and 367621 export tonnagelarger in both classifications than any other competing South Atlantic port
As you know regular scheduled service is available from the Port of Savannah to all of the ports of the free world During the past year construction was begun on a new deepwater facility at Brunswick The Georgia Ports Authoritys new two million dollar terminal at Brunswick is to be completed in June of this year Already ships are being attracted to Brunswicks new facility and with its exceptional deepwater harbor Georgia can certainly be proud of its second deepwater port
Let me tell you also about the ABCs of our inland port development program Augusta Bainbridge and Columbus The inland port at Bainbridge has been operating for approximately two years and new industry and increased shipments have characterized its spectacular growth
This year Governor Vandiver allocated an additional 250000 for the development of the Augusta State Docks
Continued on Page 16
Page Fifteen
Continued from Page 15
This represents a total of 400000 that has been made available by the State for the development of Georgias second inland port of Augusta
As soon as the multipurpose dams on the Chattahoochee have been completed Georgia will have a third inland port at Columbus Preliminary discussions are now in progress between the Georgia Ports Authority and government civic and other interested groups in Columbus
In addition to the physical facilities our modern equipment warehouse space and operations are ready to serve the increasing demands by business industry and agriculture
Last year a considerable amount of our time in promotional and public relations work was spent in an effort to better acquaint the people of Georgia concerning the benefits that they derive from expanded port operations This year we are beginning a second phase of promotion and public relations and that is to attract more business and more industry to Georgias ports In order to be of service to all groups in our affected trade area we have increased our solicitation force We have now a fullltime representative in New York we have a fulltime midwestern representative we have a Georgia representative we are establishing now a fulltime representative for the Chicago area and we have a Director of Commerce and a freight traffic rate expert in Atlanta These gentlemen are there to assist interested groups in every way possible Not only are they there to serve existing business but they are there to promote trade and commerce through our modern facilities Every effort will be made to further acquaint business men exportersimporters and agriculturists of the frequent regular sailings to all ports of the world of the savings and benefits that are accrued by using Georgias ports and of the freight savings made possible through the use of Georgias ports
Rate structure on traffic through the South Atlantic and Gulf Ports is under constant scrutiny to make sure that no preference is given any other port and in addition potential tonnage for Sa
vannah receives immediate and intensive attention to the end of establishing the most attractive rates possible by all forms of transportation
There are some instances where Savannah is lower than either Charleston or Mobileas in the case of waste paper which is 28 cents to Savannah30 cents to Charleston and 33 cents to Mobile from Atlanta
These efforts by all of us will make our new facilities become tradition and custom
We are most actively interested in participating and sponsoring another new venture for Georgia which we hope again will become custom and tradition Approximately six weeks ago several organizations including the Georgia Ports Authority and the Foreign Trade Association with Mr Walker Pendleton as its representative met to discuss the advisability of a trade conference for Georgia Georgia has never had a conference on Trade and Commerce in its entire history As a result of these and other discussions in December of this year there will be a Governors Conference on Trade and Commerce There will be approximately 26 sponsoring organizations For the first time in the history of Georgias economic life all segments of business industry agriculture transportation and commerce in the State will attend and participate This conference will have outstanding speakers from throughout the world In this concerted effort to stimulate and promote Georgias goods products and materials in the ever increasing world market we anticipate an attendance of well over 600 people We are grateful to your organization for its active support and sponsorship and you can look soon for a more detailed announcement concerning this conference
All of these things I have been talking to you about are new New notes of progress in construction in service in promotion and in trade development There is as you know a new look in Georgia todaythe proud look of economic growth and success We are indeed most fortunate in Georgia to have not only fine deepwater ports but excellent river systems for inland de
velopment We have embarked on a program of progressive development of the ports
Development that will stimulate and attract business industry and commerce The port authority operated docks in use the imaginative plans for expansion and improvement now going into effect are proof of our own faith in Georgias future proof that Georgians everywhere recognize the importance of the States natural wealth of waterways proof of our ample rivers our fine deepwater ports will continue to serve as Georgias Gateway to the World ships and barges leaving and entering the ports of Georgia ships and barges that tell the world of Georgias proud new economic and industrial success
If you are not already fully familiar with our operation and facilities and our services I hope that you will take a look at our new look This new look that I hope will become tradition and custom for all of you

DEPT OF COMMERCE REPORTS INCREASE OF GEORGIA EXPORTS
According to the United States Department of Commerce shipments to other countries from Georgia amounted to 9800000 in January of this year a 34 increase over the corresponding month of 1959
Imports totaled 7300000 We at the Georgia Ports Authority are encouraged by this increased traffic For the entire United States exports are up by
11 in the same period and imports declined by 1
The most encouraging news from this release from the Department of Commerce is the fact that Georgia products have experienced a marked increase in exportation This is reversing the trend of the past few years when imports were higher than exports

Thats how many trees Union BagCamp has planted on its land since it began its forestry program back in 1936
If 100 million pine trees were planted on a single tract of land they would cover more than 133000 acres
If one twoman planting crew had to plant 100 million trees it would take them 40 years to get them in the ground
And it they were planted m a single row six feet apart they would stretch around the equator four and a half times
Progress in forestry means putting back timber resources as they are used And because they are being replenished there will always be forests growing in Georgia and in the Southtomorrow and beyond
Were also pleased that we have had the privilege of making available to our neighboring landowners 48 million pine seedlings for planting on their properties and without cost to them

section of the state Governor Vandiver promised that Georgia will more than meet the challenge of competition from ports in South Carolina and Alabama
Mr Robert C Norman Chairman of the Georgia Ports Authority made the principal talk Complete text of Mr Normans speech follows this article Among other things Mr Norman announced that the contract for the construction of three new berths at Garden City will be awarded in July He said that with this and the modernization of Ocean Terminal facilities Savannahs berthing facilities will be more than double Instead of five operational berths there will be twelvemore facilities than any competing South Atlantic port

Speech Delivered By Mr Robert C Norman at the Exchange Club June 20 1960 Savannah Georgia
Some 100 years ago one of Englands greatest prime ministers Disraeli had this to say about politics and people
All power is a trusthat we are accountable for its exercise that from the people and for the people all springs and all must exist
The real hope of any state nation or government rests in the honesty the integrity and the ability of its officials
The administration of Governor Ernest Vandiver whom we honor today has been aptly described as one of honest sincere progressive and dedicated endeavor in all phases of governmental activity
This has been a year and a half of outstanding accomplishments in Georgia
After careful and painstaking study the government of our state has been reorganized and streamlined by the elimination of numerous overlapping and unnecessary boards and bureaus and the reassignment of functions of government
The Purchasing Department of our state has been overhauled from top to bottom and businesslike methods of competitive bidding vigorously carried out resulting in precious tax savings of over 3 million dollarsthe first year alone Our state is now receiving higher quality goods at lower prices

During this year and a half moved by humanitarian concern and the aggressive leadership of Governor Vandiver long needed aid and assistance has been given to the thousands of mentally ill in our state and the entire program for mental health in Georgia is looked upon today as a model by our sister states
A Budget Commission has been established and the General Assembly has once more become a partner in budgetary matters
A new school building construction program of sixty million dollars will soon be underway Additional millions realized by sound economy measures has made possible increased salaries for our school teachers and increased aid to our university system
Highway progress has continued and will continue
Businesslike procedures have been established in the Revenue Department providing additional funds to the state for necessary services
And all of this program of expansion and development has been accomplished without the first penny of tax increase to the citizens of this state
In the first five months of this year alone over 418 new industries have located in Georgia partly as a result of sound fiscal policies by the state administration
I could continue on this afternoon detailing sound and progressive accomplishments by Governor Vandiver and his administration
I think however we could say this concerning all of his programs These programs put into effect will not just benefit people during his own term of office These programs that are so sound and constructive will continue to benefit the people of Georgia for years to come
Today we are especially proud to make special recognition of another of Governor Vandivers programsthat of port development and expansion
Governor Vandiver early saw the importance of port development to the economic and industrial growth of our state He recognized the truism that port investment pays dividends to the people of the state And he saw the urgent necessity of keeping ahead of our neighboring and competing states in the South Atlantic He caught the vision of what a dynamic aggressive port development program could mean to the future of our state
And so it was that in January of this year Governor Vandiver allocated 4750000 to the Georgia Ports Authority program Four and a half milContinued on Page 7

Continued from Page 6 lion of this money is being spent here in Savannah Last year Governor Vandiver allocated one million dollars for the purchase of the Whitehall property here also making a total of 5750000 allocated to port development and improvement
These funds that Governor Vandiver made available are by far the largest sums ever provided for port facilities in Georgia by any administration in the history of our state
Because of these additional funds that Governor Vandiver allocated we can invite additional steamship lines to call at Georgias ports
We can assure Georgias business and industry that their raw materials as well as finished products can enter and leave through Georgia ports
The farmer and agriculturists will have a close and ready extended outlet for his goods and products
The thousands of Georgians who are dependent upon commerce generated through the portrail and truck lines will be benefited by increased trade
Modernization of the Ocean Terminal facilities here in Savannah will soon be completed and it is the hope of our Port Authority Board in July to award a contract for the construction of three new additional berths at our Garden City Terminal
Under this program made possible by the Governor with the new construction at Garden City and the major improvement at Ocean Terminal we will more than double our berthing facilities at Savannah Instead of five operational berths we will have twelvemore facilities than any competing South Atlantic port Under this program Savannah will continue to be the number one port
in the South Atlantic in exportimport tonnage and will continue to forge ahead
Governor speaking for myself and for all of the members of the Georgia Ports Authority as well as our able and dedicated staff we wish to express to you on this occasion our deep appreciation for your vigorous and foresighted support of our program of port development and expansion
We are grateful to the members of the Port Committee of the General Assembly to other members of the General Assembly and to all of the organizations associations and civic groups in the state who have worked so hard with us
Our thanks go also to the news media of the state for their support
We are especially appreciative of the financial support that has been given to us and will be given to us in the years ahead by the Savannah District Authority the City of Savannah Chatham County and the Chamber of Commerce so that we can take maximum advantage of these improvements at the earliest possible time
And we are particularly grateful to you the members of the Exchange Club here in Savannah for honoring Governor Vandiver today who made all of our dreams of progress become realities
Someone has well said
A vision without a task is but a dream
A task without a vision is pure drudgery
But a vision and a task is the hope of the world
With new hope and new vision we move forward to the task ahead to build our great and beloved state

LARGE DELEGATION EXPECTED TO ATTEND BRUNSWICK STATE DOCKS DEDICATION AUG 25
In 1739 a British Admiral stated that the harbor at Brunswick was so large that it could easily accommodate one thousand sailing ships The Port of Brunswick was created in 1792 by an act of Congress Earlier in 1789 George Washington signed a bill establishing Brunswick as a custom district and a port of entry Because of its near outlet to the ocean the Port of Brunswick became famous in the 1800s for the shipment of lumber and forest products
Brunswick in 1785 was described as a little lumber town on the coast whose export growth at that time was valued at 500000 a year In August of this year when the hundreds of visitors flock to Brunswick for the dedication of the Brunswick State Docks they will not see a little lumber town on the coast Instead they will see a city with
diversified industry with such industrial firms as Bestwall Gypsum Hercules Powder Company Allied Chemical Company Brunswick Pulp and Paper Company Babcock and Wilcox Company and beautiful golden isles that are attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors yearly Brunswick is one of the fastest growing cities in the Southeast Its population and industrial investments are increasing at a terrific pace
Governor Ernest Vandiver and Mr Robert C Norman Chairman of the Georgia Ports Authority will be the principal speakers at the port exercise This new twomilliondollar dock contains the most modern equipment and facilities of any of the Eastern Seaboard
Mr Charles Gowen Brunswick attorney and Chairman of the port dedication committee announced that approximately 5000 shippers transportation men businessmen and leaders in government re expected to attend the dedication Two Navy vessels the USS HARTLEY and the USS PERRY will
participate in the celebration A number of high school bands as well as the United States Marine Band from Parris Island will provide music Shippers and transportation people have shown considerable interest in these new docking facilities and Georgias second deepwater port will be ready for business in August
The Brunswick State Docks adjoin the modern bulk handling docks erected by the city and county government at Brunswick at a cost of several million dollars The Georgia Ports Authority has been given title to 125 acres adjoining the state docks for expansion
Brunswick boasts one of the most natural harbors in the world and Georgias second deepwater port has a most promising future Mr Norman

AS PORTS GO
SO GOES GEORGIA
Reprinted from the Savannah Morning News Wednesday July 20 1960
By handling whopping increases in volume in various categories the Savannah State Docks have moved into the milliontonperyear classification The tremendous rise in volume handled by the state docks here is a highly encouraging commentary on what the future holds for Savannah and the state of Georgia as the state ports operations continue to expand
In the last fiscal year there was an increase of 65 per cent in the number of ships calling at the Garden City State Docks and Ocean Terminals General cargo tonnage was up about 25 per cent over the previous fiscal year
This great increase in business at the state docks here in just a years time is most remarkable And further increases can be expected as new berthing facilities are completed here Ports Authority Chairman Robert Norman has said Three berths are to be added at Garden City and several more will be made available at Ocean Terminals when improvements are completed there Other improvements and additions to cargo handling facilities are planned as part of a 45 million expansion program
It seems only yesterday that this newspaper and others in the state were carrying on a fight against an opposition to full development of the states port potential That opposition now apparently has crumbled and may have vanished Certainly the confidence with which the ports authority has tackled the expansion program has been fully justified and the major steps in that expansion program are yet to come
The old saying that nothing succeeds like success is quite applicable to GeorContinued on Page 13

Continued from Page 10 gias development of its ports To the governor who pledged money for a ports expansion program to the legislators who supported the governor and to the ports authority members who are carrying on the work Georgians owe a vote of thanks
As the port of Savannah grows through the Georgia Ports Authority program we expect to see even more investment in the state ports to boost the states economic and industrial progress And therein lies the biggest value of the whopping increase in volume at the state docks here the impact on the state has only begun when cargo is handled at Savannah or other state ports As a study by the Georgia College of Business Administration showed the shipping through the ports is only one part of the business pattern which finds commerce and industry throughout the state vitally dependent on the ships which daily give their fullthroated salutes in passing behind Savannahs City Hall
Georgians should be happy to see the state docks here move into milliontonperyear classification It means not only that the state port of Savannah is doing a lot more business for a growing state economy but also that the port is playing a bigger part in helping Georgia commerce and industry grow
