THE PORT OF HOUSTON exported 202,071 tons of cotton in1963 as compared to 191,973 tons in 1962 with most of theincrease realized in the latter part of the year. Cotton rateactivity occurring last year moved at a rapid pace bringingthe establishment of L.C.L. rates from Oklahoma, increasedrailroad allowances for unloading transcontinental cotton atthe Port, reduced Eastbound rates from Arizona and NewMexico and an adjustment in minimum weights from pointsin Texas. The importance of cotton at the Port was empha-sized with a Cotton Rate Book distributed by the Houston

Cotton Exchange. Active now before the railroads is a pro-posal to reduce the 50,000 pound rates to the Gulf from Texasorigins to a more realistic spread under the present 65,000pound rates. This will benefit cotton merchants dealing in100 bale lots. Of general cargo items exported through thePort of Houston, cotton ranks fourth wtih about nine per centof the total.

BINDER TWINE RATE ADJUST3IENT continues with a new100,000 pound rate to Pease, Minnesota, to become effectiveon March 26. Numerous point-to-point rates on this highlycompetitive commodity are constantly adjusted to meet marketdemands. A railroad proposal just reopened for consideration

suggests a single distance scale of rates to replace the muhi-rude of specific point-to-point items. The Port Bureau hasrecognized a definite need for some suitable distance scalefrom the Gulf ports on this commodity and has strongly sup-ported the basic idea of this type of rate making.

THE PORT BUREAU INTERVENED in the Lasham Cartage Com-pany application for control of Seatrain Lines on February 18in Washington. Our position is that the two present coastwiseservices are necessary to provide service to the Houston areaand that approval of this application will strengthen Seatrain’sability to withstand adversities and competition, and gnar-antee continued service.

SUCCESSFUL PORT BUREAU ACTIVITY has assisted in establish-ing reduced rates on green or roasted coffee from Houston toFargo, North Dakota. The new rates are on 50,000 poundsand 70,000 pounds and will become effective March 25. Bene-fits to Houston under this adjustment go beyond the move-ment of green coffee into Fargo. Houston roasters will nowbe able to move into Fargo on processed coffee, either roastedat Houston or at interior plants such as Kansas City andOmaha. Port of Houston ranks high in imported green coffeewith its competitive territory embracing the entire midwestfrom Indiana to the lntermountain area. Over 18:1,000 tonswere brought in through Houston during the year of 1963.

REDUCED SPLAT DELIVERY charges on export freight have nowbeen approved by the Southwestern Railroads. Southern portslines published, effective February 13, charges on traffic mov-ing in that jurisdiction. Texas-Louisiana railroads made theirpublication effectve March 7. The charge will provide for 15eper 100 pounds to be assessed on 2nd through 5th deliverieswith a maximum charge of $40. This action by the South-western railroads will accomplish uniform charges.

PRECONFERENCE HEARING was held in Washington by theInterstate Commerce Commission February 26, 1964, definingissues to be reargued in I & S Docket 7564. Reconsiderationof the Commissions original order to cancel reduced rail rateson grain from Texas and Oklahoma to Houston was grantedand reopens the case. The Port Bureau will defend railroads’action to meet truck competition to Houston which does notexist at other Texas ports from this same area.

The port and channel will assure newindustry deep water access to the pres-ent Houston Ship Channel which runsthrough Galveston Bay just north andeast of Bayport area which is, itself,contiguous with the rapidly-developingNational Aeronautics and Space Admin-istration’s $150 million development atClear Lake off Galveston Bay.

The Manned Spacecraft Center instal-lations are now complete and personnelare moving into the complex where planswill eventually lead to a man on themoon and to other projects in outerspace.

Port General Manager J. P. Turner,and John B. Turner, Humblc’s Coordi-nator for the Baytown project, discussedthe details of the four-phase, 20-yearprogram and answered questions duringthe breakfast conference.

The project will be an orderly de-velopment, as revealed in the plansand charts prepared by Humble aud theNavigation District, and it will not beuntil the third phase of the four phasedevelopment scheduled to begin in1974--that deep sea ship berths will beavailable and the new channel dredgedto a 36-foot depth.

The first phase, which will get underway immediately and is due for com-pletion five years hence, will provide abarge channel 100 feet wide and 10 feetdeep with one liquid and two dry cargodocks and mooring facilities for twobarges.

Over the next five years the secondphase will provide three additional liquidcargo docks, two more dry cargo docks

There will also be a 1600xl800-feet turning basin in which to swing~, essels.

It will be 1984--20 years hencebefore the final phase of the new portis complete with addition of a dry cargoship berth to the other facilities com-pleted during phase three.

Construction and operation of the ne~channel and docks eventually couldmean as much as a 50 per cent increaseow:r tile amount of traffic currentbhandled by the Navigation District’spresent docks. Chairman Tellepseunoted.

However, he stressed, the GalvestonBay plans will not interfere with pro-posed construction of additional generalcargo facilities near the present TurningBasin. which will have been buih wellbefore the construction of any deepseaberths at Bayport during the plan’s thirdphase.

Chamber President Humble ChairmanBarrett Reistle

Humble Chairman Reistle said thatindustries purchasing tracts with thearea will find roads, railroad spurs,pipeline rights of way for utilities, rawmaterials and products, pipeline and con-veyor access to the port, an ample watersupply, central industrial waste disposalsystem and a central tank farm.

One tract of 500 acres in Bayporthas already been sold to Lockheed Cor-poration and Humble said it is primarilyinterested in attracting, chemicals andallied industry, basic metals and glass,

and National Aeronautics and SpaceAdministration-orientated projects.

Tellepsen said that by the end of the20-year, four-phase period there couldbe further expansion of the ship berthsto the west and south of the turningbasin if demand warrants. Provision hasbeen made for this in the master planwhich uhimatcly calls for 12-14. drycargo ship berths, 3-5 liquid cargo shipberths, 14 dry cargo barge docks, 14liquid cargo barge docks and 8 bargemooring facilities.

Silt or spoil removed from the areain constrm:tion of the channel will bedeposited on existing spoil banks eastof the present Houston Ship Channeldown Galveston Bay and will not inter-fere ~ith pleasure craft nor fishing.

Capital costs of the port and channelconstruction are estimated at $1.9 mil-lion for the first stage, $1.5 million forthe second, $7.9 million for the third.and $2.l million for the fourth, a totalof $13.4 million.

Tile revenue bonds to finance the neuport and channel will be retired solelyfrom revenues generated by the newport facilities. Humble has agreed topurchase these bonds, and revenues fromother Navigation District operations willnot be used to rctire them.

Bayport will be developed in four stages over a periodof 20 years, according to present plans. This shows howliquid and general cargo docks are separated for conve-nience and safety.

Southwest sho~~ that the new port fa-cilities will pay their own way as theadjoining Bayport development grows.

As part of the Port of Houston. thenew facility will be under the full con-trol of the Navigation District. It will beavailable to any industry or shipperunder the same rules, regulations andrates applying to the present Port.

Expectations are that the new chan-nel and port facility and Humble’s ad-joining Bayport development will give.a tremendous economic boost to theentire surrounding area, Mr. Tellepsensaid. They should attract industry thatmeans capital investment, jobs and sales.

Of the 7,250 acres in the Bayportindustrial district, only 4,950 will beused for industrial plants. The balancewill be required for pipelines, roads.drainage and other service facilities.Humble expects to spend an estimated$16.6 million on these supporting facili-ties before the final completion.

Humble said it undertook to developthe Bayport industrial area after feasi-bility studies showed that such a develop-merit could be a profitable one, not onlyfor the company, but for the entire area.

Industries are expected to locate therewhich will have sales of $1 billion ayear and will employ 15,000 people di-rectly with an annual payroll of $100million. It is also estimated that the de-velopment of Bayport will provide anadditional 10,000 jobs in supporting in-dustries with their resultant payroll andattendant benefits to the community.

The Bayport project is part of Hum-ble’s master plan for the overall de-velopment of its West Ranch propertywhich was purchased by the company

in 1938. About 15,000 acres of thisproperty has been sold to the Friends-wood Development Company, jointlyowned by Humble and the Del E. WebbCorporation, for residential, commercial,and light industrial purposes in ClearLake City.

The feasibility of a channel into theBayport area has been under considera-

tion by Humble since 1960. Beforemaking a proposal to the Harris CountyNavigation District, the company con-ducted a thorough study to determinehow to develop the project so that allelements of the bayshore area--recrea-tion, community living, industry, andthe general economy--would benefit andprosper from the program.
