March 22, 1963

The inland water carrier industry suffered a blow this month when the ICC allowed South-ern Railways' drastically reduced (over 50 percent) single car rates on grain to the South to go into effect at midnight February 27. W ater carriers began reporting heavy losses by the morning of February 28.

With similar multiple-car rates being held in abeyan ce by an order of the U. S. Supreme Court, an appeal was made to the Court to stay the single car rates, but to no avail.

Barge traffic was up 4.6 percent for 1962 over 1961 according to the latest figures made avail-able by the Corps of Engineers from selected locks on 12 major waterways. This data represents only a sampling of commerce, but is considered reliable for overall trends.

Companion bills were introduced in Congress to permit two foreign flag vessels to transport molten sulphur in the amount not to exceed 100,000 tons until December 31, 1963 from U. S. ports along the Gulf Coast to other ports on the Gulf and on the Eastern Seaboard. The bills are de-signed to provide molten sulpher cargo space for use of the Texas Gulf Sulphur Company to make up for the loss of the MARINE SULPHUR QUEEN.

The vessels are the M exican vessels S. S. ETUDE and S. S. POCHTECA, both flying flags of other nations.

Secretary of Commerce Luther Hodges has approved a recommendation of the Mari-time Administration to permit Heidner and Co. and the Windsor Co., both of Tacoma, W ashing-ton, to ship lumber from the Pacific Coast to Puerto Rico in foreign-flag vessels.

The action brings to a total of seven the number of lumber com panies which have sought and obtained permission from the Secretary under Public Law 87-877 to utilize foreign-flag vessels. As in earlier actions, permission granted is subject to the requirement of a "first refusal" procedure under which the applicant must first obtain an option from a foreign-flag carrier on particular shipments and gives U.S. shipping firms five days within which to macth terms of the option.

The Mississippi Valley Barge Line Company has acquired a substantial interest in Water Treatment Corporation of Rockford, Illinois, water conditioning and softening company. This ac -quisition is considered a most important move in the diversification program of the Barge Line Company.

Hearings on H. R. 1897, a bill designed to establish an orderly procedure for the disposition of major labor-m anagem ent disputes in the maritime industry, began March 5 before the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries. The hearings began with testimony concerning the effect of major maritime work stoppages on te American Merchant Marine and the national economy when they assume the character of national em ergency.

Lead-off witnesses were top officials of five of the 15 major steamship companies under contract with the government to serve essential trade routes under the Merchant Marine Act of 1936. Testimony of officials of shipping m anagem ent groups, labor groups, port authorities, im-porters, exporters, manufacturers, freight forwarders and transportation media will follow.

Threatened crippling of the Port of Palm Beach by the current Florida East Coast Railway strike has been averted by ICC rulings that allow Seaboard Airline Railroad to ship freight through the port at a special export rate.

J EDUCED export-import railroad rates ■V for South Florida ports may soon be itablished as the result of a series of meet- igs currently being conducted among rail- >ads, rate committees and freight traffic ureaus.A public hearing is slated March 26 in

'hicago before the Southern Ports Foreign reight Committee. This is a group formed y railroads operating between the interior— linois, Indiana and Ohio— and the three ort ranges: Gulf (Pensacola to Brownsville), Ltlantic (Morehead City to Jacksonville), nd South Florida.

The Port of Palm Beach, Port of Miami nd Port Everglades have petitioned for ap- iroval of rate equalization. They want rail- oad rates to South Florida ports reduced o the level of those applying to the Gulf nd Atlantic ports. Rates to Florida ports outh of Jacksonville range from six to 35 :ents per hundred pounds higher.

The differential is apparently a holdover rom the early 1900’s when Key West, the :tepping-off place to Cuba, was the only port n Florida.

James M. Lee, director of the Palm Beach bounty Freight Traffic Bureau, related that n 1958 Tampa (Hillsborough Port Authori-ty), backed by the ports of Miami and Palm Beach, succeeded in its efforts to obtain for rampa the same rates that applied to the South Atlantic ports. The courts upheld an Interstate Commerce Commission ruling re-

ducing rates to Tampa. They went into effect early this year.

Meanwhile a Freight Rate Equalization Committee of delegates from South Florida ports has been formed to confer with rail-roads on getting lower rates.

On it are Port Canaveral Manager George King, St. Lucie County Port Authority Member Mrs. Mary Silver, Port of Palm Beach Mgr. Joel Wilcox, Lee, Port Ever-glades Mgr. R. T. Spangler, Broward County Port Authority Member Lawrence Corcoran and Port of Miami Mgr. Arthur Darlow.

Railroad Support The committee, in conferences with rail-

road officials, has secured “independent an-nouncements” from Florida East Coast Rail-way, Seaboard Airline Railroad and Central of Georgia that they will apply their Tampa rates to the South Florida ports.

In recent meetings the committee met with delegates from Southern Railway and Louisville and Nashville Railroad in at-tempts to get the rate adjustments. Both are considering the committee’s petitions.

Either of these carriers could take Flori-da’s freight to the Ohio River gateways of Cincinnati, Louisville or St. Louis. Should these railroads lower their rates, it would then be necessary only for the short line carriers connecting these cities with Chicago (Monon and Chicago and Eastern Illinois) to fall in line.

Opposition From Gulf It is expected the railroads serving the

Gulf ports (Illinois Central, Missouri Pacif-ic and Gulf, Mobile and Ohio) will oppose the lower rate request. Even though these railroads and the Gulf ports oppose it, Lee said, the South Atlantic ports do not.

He said elimination of the discriminatory rate in South Florida would not take freight away from the other two port ranges.

Long-Range Effects“Without the differential, our ports will

be able to attract freight that would ordinar-ily be transferred from Chicago to New York, for instance, rather than freight jour-neying from Chicago to the Gulf or South Atlantic ports.”

Lee continued, “Besides, our ports offer highly-specialized water services. For ex-ample, West India Shipping Line at the Port of Palm Beach hauls heavy construction equipment and unusual types of freight. Re-cently, it carried equipment for an oil re-finery in Aruba and a chemical plant in Jamaica and loaded 150 carloads of bull-dozers, graders and trucks destined to build a dam in Greece.

Railroads have also been discussing divi-sion of revenues which would result under the proposed rates. Presumably, if they agree among themselves on equitable division, the South Florida ports will have no reason to prepare a formal complaint with the ICC, as they have indicated they may do, if nec-essary.

What to Expect

Of Trade Missions

AMERICANS FIRM S seeking world mar-kets for the first time should follow two

simple and practical steps:• Enter International Trad Fairs.• Participate in small, specialized trade

missions.These recommendations were made by

Draper Daniels, Export Expansion Coordi-nator for the U. S. Department of Com-merce, in an interview during the Second Florida World Trade Conference.

Daniels is a top-flight advertising execu-tive who joined the Kennedy administration to direct the export expansion effort. Re-gardless of what you may think of ad men generally, or bureaucrats in particular, Dan-iels takes a good “hard-sell” outlook on a long-range program.

Without letting him know ahead of time that we planned to write a story based on his interview, we asked Daniels whether he had been able to analyze the results of the export expansion efforts and determine “what works and what does not work.”

“It’s too early to know exactly,” he re-ported, "but we have learned a lot.”

Trade FairsDaniels was frank to admit that most of

the International Trade Fairs and shows which the United States Government has participated in to date have been conducted for propaganda purposes first— trade sec-ondarily.

This is being changed.Trade Fairs are a proven and established

facet of commercial business activity in Eu-rope, and the United States plans to go into the future with the same commercial out-look.

The government is setting up permanent U.S. trade expositions in key nations around the world. Thailand, Nigeria, Mexico and Colombia are key examples.

The government, through the Department of Commerce, will lend every possible as-sistance to manufacturers who have suitable

products for sale.Trade Missions

Daniels noted that the field of Trade Mi: sions is being overworked in a careless mar ner— despite the very great results that ca be obtained.

He noted that the widely publicized Eli ropean Trade Mission conducted by ther Governor Luther Hodges of North Carolin was very effective simply because it was th first. Hodges, he reported, had hoped onl to stimulate interest in Europe— was amazei at the solid results.

But mass missions such as that soon wea thin.

It is the specialized group of three to fivi men who get solid commercial results, Dan iels said.

In this, he reflected the views of Gover nor Farris Bryant, who reported to the Con ference on his recent trip to Latin Americ; with Development Commission Chairmai Wendell Jarrard and Member Raymom Mason of Jacksonville.

Small, Specialty GroupsDaniels recommends that future tradt

missions be limited to groups of not mori than five or six men.

These groups would be organized on ; vertical, industrial basis with specialist! covering the entire range of a particulai industry.

Purpose of this vertical structure is to as-sure technical competence of the member-ship in the first place. There is nothing sc ineffective as having a shoe manufacturer attempting to sell chemical fertilizers— or vice versa.

Another reason for the vertical structure is to assure a complete coverage of the in-dustrial or agricultural field.

It is equally important that members of the trade missions be able to offer the low- priced as well as the quality lines of goods.

And— that they be able to keep their eyes open for new sources of supply.

F LORIDA IS enthusiastically competing for the World Market and for its share

of U. S. Government business too.Durning his keynote address to the Sec-

ond Florida World Trade Conference March 7-8, Governor Farris Bryant disclosed plans to open a “Florida Showcase” office in Washington.

The office, as planned, will work closely with the offices of Senators Spessard Hol-land and George Smathers in their efforts to serve Florida businessmen.

The office will permit display of Florida products in Washington, where so much of the governmental buying is done, and assist Florida ports in development of export car-goes from government and private agencies.

In addition, a travelling “Florida Show-case” will soon take to the road in Europe. It is a converted Greyhound bus which will contain displays and literature of Florida cities and products. It will traverse the cities and by-ways of Europe— a unique move to utilize proven American sales methods in a European market which is daily adapting it-self to the American merchandising tech-nique.

Governor Bryant, who had just returned from a 10-day trip around South America, elaborated on the State’s belief that trade follows travel and pointed out that Florida will continue to encourage international trade to and from the State.

Conference registrants packed the session during the two-day event, attended by more

than 300 businessmen. It was a working session, and the delegates were bent on learning all they could about the Common Market, aids to Florida export, and the re-cently-formed Latin America Free Trade Area.

Speaking for the European Common Market countries, Guy Girod, French Com-mercial Counselor for the Southern States, and Wolfgang Ernst, representing the Eu-ropean Community, delineated the tremen-dous growth of the Common Market in the last four years. Industrial production has doubled in the member countries, the eco-nomic life has changed as a result of re-duced duties and the lifting of quantitative restrictions, and the experience has provided economic impulse and cohesion resulting in an increase of 45 per cent in the exports of

the member nations. The balance of tra between the U.S. and the Common Marl is still in favor of the U.S., however. T Common Market had $40-billion in tra last year representing 19 per cent of t total world trade in the free world, but it still dependent on imports and must incre; its exports.

For the first time in history, the Comm Market countries have mass consumptic production and distribution. Aiming not c ly at free trade, the Common Market, it hoped, will become a customs union, a p litical union, and an economic union.

Seen from the U. S. viewpoint, J . Wiln Sundelson, of the Ford International Sta stated that the Common Market “is he to stay.” He felt that growth in relationsh to the surrounding countries will go apac that timing was all important, and th eventually all European countries outsii Russia’s Wall would be involved to form trading bloc with unprecedented leverag and “become the world’s strongest hav< for free enterprise.”

For the U. S., it is important to be in tl common customs market, not only for pre tige and public relations, but from the stan. point of costs. Although tax laws are i: hibitive now, the attraction of U.S. capit to Europe continues with some 1500 Ame ican enterprises presently investing $3-bi lion in Common Market countries. Hov ever, the flow of investments can work bot ways with some U.S. states already wooir foreign investment in U.S. office building and real estate.

STATE WINS

JA C K SO N V ILLE

rHE AWARDING of President Ken-nedy’s “E” flag to the Florida State

hamber of Commerce for its leading ef- arts in the field of trade expansion pointed p the enthusiasm generated by the over 00 registrants at the Second Forida World rade Conference, held in Jacksonville on darch 7-8.

Presented to Floyd B . Bowen, president if the State Chamber, by banquet speaker Jraper Daniels, National Export Expansion Toordinator, the award symbolized Florida’s remendous interest and efforts toward in- :reasing its trade with the world.

In 1962 Florida exports brought back in- o this country $282-million in U.S. bal- inces of payments from foreign countries, ind this alone kept 51,128 mining, agricul- :ural and manufacturing workers employed.

The importance of Florida’s contribution :an best be judged by the fact that, as Daniels put it, “If everyone holding dollars outside of this country were to ask for pay-ment in gold tomorrow — as a foreigner legally can— Fort Knox would become an utterly empty hole in the ground.

Trouble, Trouble, Trouble“We are in trouble, real trouble,” con-

tinued Daniels. Despite a substantial bal- ance-of-trade surplus, the U.S. has a bal- ance-of-payments deficit, created in the main by the Cold War which requires manning and paying the men in U.S. military bases

C o n f e re n c e . . .

EN TH USIASMthroughout the world, taking money out of the country. “In addition, the greatest pros-perity the world has ever seen takes money out of the country. American tourists last year left approximately $ 1-billion more overseas than foreign tourists left in this country.

“American investments abroad, which should eventually help solve our balance-of- payments problem are right now taking more money out of the country than comes back in the form of dividends and profits.”

The problem could be solved by restrict-ing overseas travel, forbidding foreign in-vestment, devaluing the dollar and aban-doning U.S. military bases, but there is an-other way to solve the problem, said Dan-iels. “It’s the hard way and the right way. The problem can be solved by selling Amer-ica out of trouble.

Americans Are Slow on Up-Take “It’s going to take the biggest and the

strangest selling job in history. Ironically, it is infinitely easier to sell American goods overseas than it is to sell American busi-nessmen on investigating the profit oppor-tunities of the export market.”

Pushing Trade Fairs Citing the success of the Florida Trade

Mission last year, Daniels outlined the ex-port assistance provided to businessmen by the Department of Commerce Field Offices, and their export expansion councils; the ease of exhibiting at U.S. Trade Centers

PLANT CITY

N EARLY a YEA R AGO, George Ze- naty, manager of Tour America, 2 West

46th Street, New York, wrote Martin Hearn, export manager of Florida Citrus Mutual, and asked him to prepare an agenda for a group of British fruit and vegetable dealers coming to the United States.

Hearn, whose correspondence with Philip Glass, an Edinburgh importer, indirectly led to the origination of the tour, arranged for the 22 British Fruit Wholesalers to brief-ly visit strawberry packers in Plant City on the citrus country tour which took place last October.

Don Downs, Hillsborough County Agent, informed the berry growers in the county of the British group’s interest, and, alone among the growers, Roy Parke, owner of Parksdale Farm decided to investigate.

The result: housewives in England, Scot-land and France this winter served their families fresh Florida strawberries for the first time— and Parke found himself engaged

in a very profitable new venture in foreign trade.

Parkesdale Farm, one of the largest in-dependent strawberry farms in Hillsborough County, now exports about 3500 pints of berries weekly with the volume expected to reach an amount equal to 20 per cent of the yearly crop in a few weeks. At $1.25 a pint, the current market price in Scotland, the profit realized is indeed healthy even after deducting the high cost of air freight.

These, briefly, were the events which led to a successful new trade between Florida and Europe. It was not accomplished, how-ever, until some formidable obstacles were cleared away.

At the outset there was a lack of interest among the growers. Tt was a skeptical group of farmers which weighed Down’s proposi-tion. Most were reluctant to divert their crops from the domestic to a foreign market which they were not even sure existed. Although domestic prices were not high, foreign prices were a matter of speculation, and profits, therefore, anybody’s guess. Also there was

the matter of financing, licensing and doer mentation. For someone without any expoi experience, these considerations made th proposition appear quite unattractive.

Still, there was at least one enterprisin; grower who thought it over and decided t< take a chance.

Parke contacted Philip Glass, an importe in Edinborough, Scotland, and Glass flev to Tampa. He looked over Parke’s 50 acri farm and efficient packing operations anc ordered 1200 pints of “Florida 90” straw berries on a trial basis.

Glass paid only the freight, and was tc deduct his 10% commission from the selling price, the remainder being mailed to Parke in a certified check.

With the deal closed, shipping had to be arranged, and Tully Carr, sales representa-tive of KLM Airline, entered the picture tc perform a most valuable service.

KLM, while soliciting overseas freight, had become interested in the European market potential of Florida strawberries, and had been keeping in touch with Parke and

James H. Moulder Is Elected Ports Council Director

M IAM I

JAMES H . MOULDER, vice president for the international department of the First

National Bank of Miami, has been appoint-ed a director-at-large of the Foreign Ports and Foreign Trade Council.

The appointment was announced at the recent Second Florida World Trade Con-ference.

A native New Yorker, Moulder joined the Miami bank in 1952 after 17 years in the foreign department of the Guaranty Trust Company in New York City.

In addition to his new duties as FP&FTC director, Moulder is also a director of the Internation Affairs Department of the Mi- ami-Dade Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce of the Americas, and the Bankers’ Association for Foreign Trade.

Moulder is married and is the father of two girls and a boy.

lers. In order to facilitate things, KLM ’s presentatives offered to handle the entire ipping operation, even to financing the ods.Although KLM offered to finance the ods being shipped by Parke, it was not ally necessary. Parke agreed to ship an itial order on consignment only. (It turned it that he got a price almost double the imestic market because of this agreement.) The first shipment left Tampa by Eastern

ir Lines on February 9. On February 12, irke deposited his payment. His net price ceived was 34<j: a basket, against 18 ( on imestic sales. The baskets retail in Europe : about $1.25.Fro mTampa International Airport to

few York, and from New York overseas, arr booked all flights, making sure there ould be little delay in transferring cargo, l addition, invoices, export customs dec- irations, international bills of lading, sani- iry certificates — a bewildering array of aperwork was handled by KLM. These are ;rvices which are not ordinarily the re- ponsibility of a carrier. In Parke’s words KLM was wonderful.”

M ob ile M eat Inspection Tra iler

Facilitates Imports at M iam i

M I A M I

A NEWLY COMPLETED inspection sta-tion housed in an air-conditioned trailer

was first used by Department of Agriculture meat inspectors, in processing some of 300 tons of general purpose, boneless Nicara-guan beef brought into Miami by the Ger-man freighter HENRY C. HORN on Janu-ary 26.

The vessel is operated under Charter to J. R. Nieves & Co., Inc. of San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The innovation, designed and operated by Howard S. Reeder, who is cargo agent for Nieves in Miami is a mobile facility which can be conviently sited near discharging ves-sels and aircraft. Its use eliminates interim cold storage warehousing for inspection pur-poses of cargoes destined for immediate transhipment from Miami.

The frozen beef, packed in 60 lb. units, was off-loaded in eleven hours by a crew of Eagle, Inc. stevedores. The bulk of the cargo was received dockside by reefer trucks oper-ated by Peninsula Meat Company of Tam-pa and Progressive Meat Packers, Inc. of Philadelphia, Pa. Three refrigerated railroad cars were also loaded for consignment to an Indiana meat company.

Increased importation of foreign meat and seafood is contemplated by U.S. packing houses, and the new mobile station is ex-pected to play an important part in facili-tating inspection and distribution of such cargoes.

10

For instance, Henderson’s Portion Pak, Inc. of Coral Gables maintains shrimp traw-ler fleets in Panama and French Guiana. Their plants in these locations are capable of freezing 40,000 lbs. of shrimp per day for delivery to the U.S. More recently, the firm has completed extensive arrangements with an Australian meat packing firm. In return for exclusive right to purchase the Austra-lian firm’s export products, Portion Pak has provided them with certain formulae, ma-chinery, equipment and processing tech-niques. The arrangement is intended to broaden the product line of the Coral Gables firm.

The arrival of the HENRY C. HORN at Miami marked the beginning of a series of planned regular runs between Nicaragua and that port via Panama and San Juan. The MARVA and an additional Horn liner are expected to participate in the run. Chester, Blackburn and Roder are Miami vessel agents.

Scott-Mattson Farms ....

Offshore Vegetable Farms Moved

From Cuba to Bahamas & Haiti

W E S T PA LM BEACH

WITH the inadvertent help of Fidel Cas-tro the men of Florida’s farming in-

dustry are proving that, like their historic forefathers, they are rugged individualists who can conquer adversity and come back stronger than ever.

Castro created the problem when he gain-ed power in Cuba in the summer of 1959. One of his first acts was to seize the major farming lands, ostensibly to divide them among the Cuban peasants, who had been the backbone of the island’s revolutionary movement.

The land seizure was a severe blow to many, among them Florida truck farmers who for years had grown crops in Cuba that couldn’t be produced in Florida during the colder winter months.

Forced to give up their Cuban operations, these Florida farmers responded in typical American tradition. Moving to new lands— in this instance to other islands to the south-east of the Florida peninsula— they launched rebuilding programs and quickly rebounded.

One of these was Scott-Mattson Farms, a large grower-shipper organization on Flor-ida’s east coast with packing houses at Ft. Pierce and Pompano Beach.

Scott-Mattson had farmed in Cuba during 12 pre-Castro winters, producing primarily tomatoes and cucumbers.

Then came summer, 1959, Castro and land seizure.

“It was a real problem,” says Ray Weeks, a Scott-Mattson packing house and sales manager, “because this Cuban farming was essential to our year-round operation.

First Winter After Castro

“However, our officials immediately began to reset their sights and the very first winter after Castro took over Cuba, we had crops coming in in the Bahamas after starting from scratch.”

Scott-Mattson moved first to Great Abaco Island, then expanded to Andros Island, both in the Bahamas group. The first crops from a new operation at Haiti have been imported into Florida since the first of the year.

The forced exodus from Cuba resulted not only in new farm land development but also in addition of new crops. Formerly only a vegetable producer, Scott-Matson has now turned to fruit commodities.

Cantaloupes From HaitiFor instance, a couple of weeks ago a

small ship docked at Port of Palm Beach with the firm’s first load of cantaloupes from Haiti, according to Weeks the only cantaloupes available in this country except for a small amount being, flown in from Panama and Nicaragua. Weeks notes three

SC O TT - M ATTSO N ve g e ta b les grown on of fshore isla n ds are imported to Port of Palm Beach by re frigera ted vessels op �era t ed sp ec i f ica lly for this operat ion .

ships brought 700-800 wirebound crates cantaloupes to this country each we< through the month of February.

Scott-Mattson Farms will also harvest i first honeydew melons later this month Haiti. Other products grown there and in ported through the Palm Beach port incluc cucumbers, eggplant, okra and watermeloi

Scott-Mattson owns five converted LCI (landing craft infantry), equipped with mo< era refrigeration equipment to help presen the produce while enroute from the islanc to the states. At times the company least up to five additional small craft.

Off-shore farming presents various diff culties.

Special PackagingFor example, the necessity for prope

packaging for protection during the sea tri was pointed up when one of the first load of cantaloupes encountered a fairly sever storm off the Florida coast.

“Because we used the % wirebound car taloupe crate and carefully loaded the ships we were able to bring the shipment in un damaged,” proudly reports Bob Huntsman Scott-Mattson representative at the Port o Palm Beach.

Wirebound wooden containers, such a the Universal crate (1-1/9 bushel) and thi half-Universal, are also utilized to packagi other commodities grown off-shore. Thesi containers must meet strength requirement necessary because of the additional stres: they get— in handling on the islands, in ship loading and unloading, and stacked in th« ships’ holds— in comparison with statesids packages.

“In any farming containers are an im portant factor, of course,” states Weeks. “Ir off-shore farming the need for additional protection magnifies their importance. The} must be tough!”

Evidently, this applies to the farmers, too.

Grape fru it Crysta ls Retain Fresh

F lavor; Produce N ew Citrus Trend

PLAN T CITY

X V T ITH a merchandising program to broad- W en the market for Florida’s big orange

crop successfully launched, the citrus industry is now turning its atetntion to grapefruit, seek-ing means to increase consumption through new products and new uses.

While industry leaders are urging that research for expanding the grapefruit market be carried out now, one company already is producing a unique grapefruit product that was developed through research.

The company is Plant Industries, Inc., at Plant City, which uses a patented process to turn out instant grapefruit juice crystals. The product is merely mixed with water to pro-duce fresh-tasting grapefruit juice.

The company’s processing plant— the only one of its kind in the world— has been pro-ducing instant grapefruit juice since 1955. During that time, the processing procedures and the quality of the instant juice have been greatly improved.

Plant Industries operates the year around, independent of the fresh fruit season, be-cause it uses high-density grapefruit con-centrate as the basis for its instant grape-

fruit juice. The concentrate is gently dried under a vacuum in a process which trans-forms it into tiny dry crystals.

Plant Industries’ output has shown a steady increase since its inception, and is currently using the equivalent of 100,000 boxes of grapefruit a year. This makes ap-proximately 500,000 pounds of instant grapefruit juice — each pound of which makes a gallon of instant juice, when re-constituted with water.

Plant Industries’ current annual produc-tion of more than half a million pounds of instant juice is enough to make 16,000,000 individual servings.

The instant grapefruit juice provides the same advantages as Plant Industries’ instant orange juice— it needs no refrigeration, and offers a considerable saving in shipping and storing compared to concentrate and single-strength juice.

The flavor of the instant juice is equal to that of any other processed grapefruit prod-uct. Recently, Plant Industries officials ap-peared before the grapefruit committee of the Florida Citrus Commission at Lakeland to bring committee members up to date on

the progress made with the unique product.Samples of the instant juices were served

to committee members at the meeting, and Plant Industries official said later they “ap-peared to be very impressed with the quality of the product.”

Like Plant Industries’ instant orange juice, nearly all its output of instant grapefruit goes to institutional markets and to the armed forces. It is not yet available in stores.

A controlling interest in Plant Industries was acquired recently by Salada Foods, Inc., an international food packaging and process-ing concern which has three other plants in the Tampa area— the Dali-Fresh Division, Tampa (potato chips); the Shoreline Divi-sion, Hooker’s Point, (frozen shrimp), and the Horsey Division, Plant City, frozen orange concentrate and other citrus prod-ucts.

Salada Food’s extensive facilities are now teamed up with those of Plant Industries in seeking ways to improve present instant juices as well as develop new products.

New Florida Su g ar M ills Use

Large A m o u n ts of Pipe

CLEW ISTON

I T TAKES over 100 miles of steel pipe to bring you those glistening white crystals of

sugar that make your coffee or tea or des-sert enjoyable. Over 150 tons of pipe rang-ing from 1-inch to 12-inches in diameter carry sugar cane juices through the various steps in sugar processing.

To illustrate how pipe is used in proces-sing sugar cane into raw sugar, let’s take the new 5,000-ton Bryant sugar house built by Farrell-Birmingham, Ansonia, Conn. and Abarca, San Juan, Puerto Rico for the United States Sugar Corporation, Clewiston and engineered by Arthur G. Keller, Inc., of Baton Rouge, La.

Surrounding this ultra-modern plant in Bryant, Fla. are 32,000 acres of waving green sugar cane stretching east and west around the southern shores of Lake Okee-chobee. At harvest time, the sugar cane is cut and loaded into railroad cars which are taken to the sugar house and unloaded onto a conveyor. The conveyor carries the cut sugar cane to a crusher and grinding tandem which extracts the juice and sends on the bagasse (fiber remaining after the juice is extracted) to the boilers for fuel.

Flere’s where the pipe takes over. The

juices are piped to a liming treatment to correct alkalinity and to aid the clarification process. After heating, the juice is pumped to clarifiers and then to evaporators. In the evaporators much of the water is vaporized and the juice is concentrated into a heavy syrup. The heavy syrup is pumped to vacu-um pans to permit boiling at low tempera-tures, and it is during this boiling process that the syrup is converted to crystals or grains in a “massecuite,” or cooked mass.

The sugar crystals and molasses which comprise the “massecuite” are separated in centrifuges. The machine is essentially a perforated drum which revolves at high speed within a steel casting; the centrifugal force spins the molasses off the sugar cry-stals, leaving the raw sugar within the per-forated drum while the molasses passes into the steel casting. All of the molasses is re-turned into the process for reboiling. After the second reboiling, the molasses is ex-hausted of the sugar and this finished by-product, known as “Blackstrap Molasses,” is weighed and stored in massive storage tanks. It is an essential and highly nutritious feed.

The raw sugar is shipped to refining plants where it is refined, packaged and marketed.

Telescoping Crane

Serves Ship's Needs;

In Island TradeMIAN

A TELESCOPING BOOM, 7-ton h> draulic crane, bow-mounted aboard th

148-ton motorship WANDO RIVER, ha made the ship all-but-independent of th need for dockside crane facilities. Capabl of handling all except the very heavies loads, or about 85 per cent of all goods car ried, the crane has been in service for al most three years, on weekly and bi-weekl runs between Florida and the Bahamas.

With the carry-along crane always read; for use, waits for (and the costs of) trucl cranes for loading and discharging cargo ari eliminated. Ship’s schedules are more easil; held — and delays in loading and unload in; avoided.

The crane operator can spot his cargoes more accurately than is possible with trucl cranes, as he sits on the forward deck where he can easily see into the hold.

This pays off in added safety both foi stevedores and for cargoes.

Installed in 1959, shortly after the 98-fool vessel was converted from a salvage ship to general cargo use, the crane has handled an average of 120 tons of materials, stores, and supplies per week; is reported by ship’s Captain Maurice Barbes to have paid its way several times over, because of the im-proved flexibility it affords.

In Miami or other East Coast Florida ports, stevedores operate the crane. In the Bahamas, where alternative dockside hand-ling facilities are not always readily avail-able, the ship’s boatswain serves as operator.

The compact crane takes up little room— an important factor, as larger items are fre-quently carried as deck loads, making deck space valuable.

The Handling ProblemThe WANDO RIVER, owned by Wind-

rush Limited of Nassau, is chartered to Beach Head Limited.

In addition to Captain Barbes and the chief engineer, Arlington Archer, the ship carries a crew of four men. For the past three years, the vessel has ferried materials and supplies required for the Huntington- Hartford enterprises in the Bahamas. Car-goes include everything from foodstuffs and furniture to machinery, building materials, structural steel and reinforcing bars for con-crete, and miscellaneous items such as hay and even small boats.

Much of this material is palletized for easy handling. Few items weigh more than three tons.

Farrell Line's SS A frica n Co m et

Drydocked a t Rawls Bros. Ship yardJA C K SO N V ILLE

T h e S. S. AFRICAN COMET, first American-flag vessel designed especially

for the African trade in over 15 years, re-cently completed her guarantee inspection at Rawls Brothers Shipyards in Jacksonville.

First of six new ships built by Farrell Lines, the AFRICAN COMET began her maiden voyage from Jacksonville last Au-gust 26. The drydocking at Rawls this February represented her six-month check-up under guarantee.

The vessel, specifically built to the de-mands of the African trade, features de- humidifying equipment to prevent cargo sweating and odor permeation; deck cargo lockers for small shipments and label car-goes; deep tanks for liquid cargoes, such as

corn oil, tallow, and petroleum blending oils; and refrigerated spaces which are di-vided to permit the carrying of chilled car-goes, like fruit and flowers, as well as froz-en cargoes.

Prior to berthing at Rawls for the inspec-tion drydocking, the AFRICAN COMET unloaded some 50,000 pounds of frozen South African rock lobster tails and a cargo of raw sugar. Total cargo capacity is 10,- 700 tons.

Other imports from Africa regularly car-ried abroad are coffee and sisal. Manufac-tured goods and industrial equipment, fruit, and liquid oils comprise the bulk of the cargo on the run to Africa.

A 585-foot vessel of the C-4 type, the AFRICAN COMET has first-class accom-

modations for twelve passengers, including eight outside staterooms, a separate passen-ger lounge and a dining room. Fully air-con-ditioned, the facilities are smartly decorated in pastels and luxurious modern furnishings.

Officer and crew accommodations are a far cry from the usual concept of a freight-er with easy-to-care-for walls of a plastic- coated pressed wood panelling in light, pas-tel colors.

The vessel is powered by a steam-driven single screw, and is engineered to maintain a service speed of 20 knots. The run to Capetown, Africa from New York is made in 14 days.

Stevens Shipping Company is the local agent for the Farrell Line ships which dock at Municipal Docks and Terminals.

Citrus Men May

Exchange Bottling

Know-How in Europe

ALBURY TERMIN ALS on ca use w a y to Miami Beach .

Privately Owned Terminal

Continues to Serve MiamiBy Ed Dennis

LAKELAND

THE FLORIDA CITRUS COMMISSION has been asked to consider the advisabil-

ity of supplying European bottlers of Florida citrus juices with technical advice that would increase general acceptance of the products. The recommendation came during a meet-ing of the Commission’s Export Advisory Committee.

Commission General Manager Homer E Hooks said the matter would be presented to the Commission. He told the committee that the Commission already had done con-siderable groundwork on an idea for ex-changing technical personnel with West Ger-many. This arrangement, he said, would bring a technician from a research labora-tory in that country to Florida for at least a year of experience, while the Commission would reciprocate by sending a research man to West Germany for a similar period of time.

“Bottled juices and drinks are very big business in Europe,” Hooks said. “If we can show them how our concentrates and bases can be handled in large volume, we might increase our exports substantially.”

Hooks said the language barrier would present a handicap for personnel from Flori-da. “It might be better to train a European research man here in our industry and then send him back to represent us, and thus avoid the difficulty of trying to convey ideas that might be lost in a language transition.”

If the Commission approves investigation of the idea, then it would be necessary to enlist support of the federal government’s PL 480 Program, Hooks declared.

“Technically, this must be considered in the category of market development and therefore eligible for PL 480 Program funds. This particular program presently assists in such development of markets for other U.S. agricultural commodities.”

Florida citrus industry leaders feel that the quality and flavor of their juices should be retained as much as possible in the bot-tled products, the committee members re-ported.

“The presence in Europe of research men well informed in citrus matters should prove invaluable,” Hooks said. “The Florida citrus industry would like foreign consumers to learn to appreciate and accept the best we produce.”

FOUNDED IN 1926 by the late Charles Albury, Albury & Company is one of

Miami’s oldest steamship agents.Originally the firm operated from Miami’s

Pier #1 but due to the great increase in Miami’s maritime trade during World War II, the firm purchased land and built their own facilities on MacArthur Causeway, along Government Cut, with its 30 foot depth, as their doorway to world trade.

“Albury & Company remains pretty much of a family operation since my grandfather founded it,” said vice president, Robert A l-bury. Earl Albury is president with Eugene, Andrew and Robert Albury as vice presi-dents.

The firm handles regular freight service for the French Line, Hamburg American Line, North German Lloyd and Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha Ltd., more commonly known in maritime circles as the “K ” Line. Refrig-erated as well as dry cargo for the Virgin

Islands on a monthly schedule is handled by Albury with the M.V. Santo Antonio plus a weekly service to the Bahamas on the motor vessel Noel Roberts.

Albury Terminals has warehousing facili-ties for cargoes awaiting shipment.

To assist Miami shippers, Albury & Com-pany has experienced personnel to handle their customs problems of freight forwarding and custom house brokerage. These services along with the steamship agency and steve-doring give a complete service to local firms in their shipping problems on a world wide basis.

The Albury family has always taken a healthy interest in Miami’s Port. Starting with the late Charles Albury who was elect-ed president of Miami’s Propellor Club from 1932 to 1934 and his son Earle from 1952 to 1953, Grandson Bob Albury is president.

The firm representing Hamburg American Line and North German Lloyd has regular bi-weekly service to European ports.

PARIS

T HE MISSION arrived in Paris, Satur-day, September 29 at 6:30 p.m., where

it was greeted by a representative of the French Ministry of Economics.

On Monday, October 1st, M . Jean-M arie Delgove, Head of the Foreign Missions Di-vision of the “Centre National du Com-merce Exterieur” (National Headquarters for France’s Foriegn Trade), called on us and submitted the French Government’s program for the Mission’s visit to France, which was approved wholeheartedly.

The Mission was joined on Monday by M arc T . Fisher-Galati, General Sales Man-ager, First Overseas Trade Company, Post Office Box 4621, Fort Lauderdale, Florida (import-export dealing mostly in foodstuffs).

We called on the American Embassy, where we saw the following gentlemen:

Paul E. Quintus, Agricultural AttacheDudley Williams, Assistant Agricultural

AttacheHoward Akers, Assistant Agricultural At-

tacheCarsten Darwin Muller, Second Secretary

of Embassy, acting as liaison for the Mission with the French authorities.

Alexander J . Davit, Assistant Commercial Attache (The Commercial Attache, Mr. Drumm, was indisposed)

Discussion centered mainly around the pos-sibility of convincing French authorities that the 1.33 specific gravity breakpoint on duty rates for third party countries in ECM was based upon French mistaken theory that such a concentration for juices could only be realized by addition of foreign sugars, whereas Florida is now commercially pro-ducing pure concentrate of even a higher specific gravity.

It was agreed that a meeting with higher- ranking French personnel versed in the tech-nical problems might convince them, and a meeting was arranged with the “Repression des Fraudes” for the next day.

We also reported our meeting with agri-cultural policy authorities in Brussels, where the Italian and French members asserted that dyphenyl would be permitted under the standard uniform packing grades recently agreed upon by the ECM Ministers; also that sympathetic consideration would be given to favorably reviewing the case for admitting citrus red number 2 in the list of permitted colors.

The Embassy requested that copies of any confirmatory letters we send on our Brus-sels interview be sent to the agricultural at-taches in the Embassies of the six ECM member countries.

We pointed out that Florida gladioli had been sent in 1961 to Holland by air. With regard to the possible use of Florida seed potatoes in Berlin and Germany, we obtain-ed a list of the French varieties currently being exported to West Germany: Acker- segen, B.F.15, Claudia, Farfadette, Krasowa, Saskia, Sirenia, Urgenta, Arran Bauner, Bintje, Etoile du Leon, Ker Pondy, Ostbote, Sientje, Ultimus and Voran. Underline three varieties are the most popular in Germany.

We were told that there was a dearth of potatoes in France this year, but that the Government nevertheless still excluded im-ports.

A. J . Davit agreed that possibilities existed of interesting French banks in investing in Florida enterprises, but suggested that in addition to inviting French bankers to view the film “Profile of Progress,” American banking executives should be included also. We immediately asked the French Govern-ment to invite the American banking execu-tives to this showing.

The Embassy offered the use of the USIS cinema for showing of the Florida film, for which the French Government is arranging a special viewing at the Head-quarters of the Comite Franc-Dollar, a Government institution which handles ex- port-import dollar-franc exchanges.

The Florida State Chamber of Com-merce’s Directory of Industries and the Florida Development Commission’s material, as well as the Florida Ports and Foreign Trade Council’s material on the ports of Jacksonville, Tampa, Miami, Port Ever-glades, and Pensacola was placed in the Em- bayy’s commercial library, for reference pur-poses.

Representatives of the Mission called on Gilbert Faivre, General Manager, PO-MONA S. A., 19-21, rue du Pont Neuf, Paris 1, on Tuesday, October 2, for his views on exports of citrus and other Florida food crops.

Florida grapefruit is becoming very well accepted in France, because of its superior flavor and thinner skin than Israel’s grape-fruit. Mr. Faivre urged that all shipments be individually stamped “Florida” for consumer identification. He is extremely interested in marketing possibilities for Florida celery which can be imported without restrictions (preferably white variety), snap beans, squash, Bell peppers, okra, and egg-plant during the winter months; strawberries also might offer interesting possibilities provided prices were within reason. He was not opti-mistic on developing volume markets for avocados, mangoes, or limes.

Accompanied by American Assistant Ag-ricultural Attace, Dudley Williams, the Mis-sion called on Professor Guy Janssens, Di-rector, Central Laboratory, "Repression des Fraudes” (Fraud Repression) Government Department, 42 bis due de Bourgogne, Paris 7. We submitted samples and brochures of the high-density orange concentrate. The purpose was to point out to the French Government, through one of their own agencies, that concentrate of more than 1.33 specific gravity was feasible without addition of foreign sugars, while at present such a product is subject to punitively high duty rate of 99% ad valorem.

Professor Janssens immediately grasped the importance of this new development and promised an early analysis certifying to its purity and, therefore, to a lower duty rate, which would be transmitted through the Embassy to the French Department of Cus-toms. We hope that this may eventually lead to a complete review by the European Com-mon Market ministers on this 1.33 break-point in the duty rates, thereby enabling Florida to develop markets for high-density concentrate in bulk within the ECM trade bloc.

This would represent a major break-through in the tariff concessions.

At 1:00 p.m., the Mission was received by the Board of Directors of the Paris

F L O R I D A J O U R N A L O F C O M M E R C E A P R I L 1 9 6 3 19

Chamber of Commerce and Industry, an institution founded by Napoleon in 1802, which is supported since then with Govern-ment funds, and has 250,000 members. It is France’s number one Chamber and acts as their leader and advisor to the Govern-ment. There are 45 directors, elected once every three years.

We were informed that the invitation should be considered an honor to Florida, usually only accorded to ruling heads of State. It was the first time that the American Commercial and Agricultural Attaches, who accompanied us, had ever been invited there officially. It was explained this honor was to show France’s recognition over the invitation extended to its Embassy in Washington by our Secretary of State, the Honorable Tom Adams, on his “Operation Diplomat.”

The President of the Chamber, M r. Des- briere, in his address after lunch, said that he and his colleagues would carefully ex-amine our request that French surplus funds be invested in Florida, and that the material which we had given him on Florida would be placed in the Chamber’s library, which contains 250,000 volumes.

Mr. Desbriere, who is a banker and di-rector of four French Banks, including the Bank of France, and a steel magnate, was pleased to receive an invitation to the Second Florida World Trade Conference. A formal invitation will be sent to him.

Of considerable significance was the fact that four of the Mission members speak French and that our reply to the President’s message was delivered in French. This con-siderably flattered the attendance.

Those present were:La Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie de ParisM. Georges Desbriere. President, Trans-

M. Lefevre, Director des Services Admi- nistratifs de la Chambre de Commerce et d’lndustrie de Paris Florida business was discussed with those

present after luncheon and immediately after a visit of the premises, during which we were shown the files of the ports of Miami and Jacksonville in the library records, end-ing 1930. We told the President that, from

now on, the Council would recommend that all its port members send regular informa-tion to the Library on their facilities and development. This Library is constantly be-ing used as a reference source by students, merchants, and bankers.

ROUENAt 7:00 a.m., October 3, the Mission left

by train for Rouen, where it arrived at 10:30 a.m. and was greeted by a representa-tive of the Centre National du Commerce Exterieur. We were taken to the Chamber of Commerce of Rouen, which is housed in a brand-new palace.

Mr. Baudelaire, Director of the Port of Rouen and Chief Engineer, Bridges andHighways Department of Rouen, gave us the following facts about the port:

IMPORTS 1961 Metric tons Petroleum Products 800,000 tonsBulk (1) 2,000,000General Merchandise 1,450,000Wine (2) 500,000

4,750,000 EXPORTS 1961 Metric tons

1.000.000 tons1.000.000

300,000(3) 1,200,000

3,600,000(1) for Chemical industries(2) from North Africa, in tankers(3) of which 800,000 tons are grain

Fruit and vegetable import, 1961 are as follows:

Bananas, 140,000 tons from French West Indies

Citrus, 50,000 tons from Morocco, or-anges only

Others, 10,000 tonsVegetables, 37,000 tons

All French ports, imports-exports, 1961: 100 million tons.

Mr. Baudelaire explained that he was the representative of the French Ministry of Transport and was responsible for maintain-ing and improving port facilities, including dredging. The actual operation of the port was handled by the Chamber of Commerce. This procedure applies to all French ports.

Rouen’s importance lies in the fact that one-fifth of France’s population lives in the Paris area, which is Rouen’s hinterland. M. Baudelaire pointed out that 50% of the na-tion’s entire business is transacted in the Paris area. Located 77 miles from the sea, Rouen can handle vessels up to 26 feet draft or 10,000 tons weight; some tankers of 16,- 000 tons have been able to tie up there.

Major industries include: paper mills,

rocessing pulp from Scandinavia, Rumania, ad the U. S. A.: oil refineries, soap fac- >ries, fertilizer plants, cattle feed mills.In 1961, except for 3,000 tons of phos-

hate from Tampa, no Florida cargoes pass- j through Rouen, but he hoped that with le new 25,000 cubic foot refrigerated space ow available, the Florida citrus industry light find Rouen an interesting distributing oint. Road, rail and canal connections are onstantly improving, with main line railway lectrification now underway from Le lavre-Rouen-Paris. Canal connections with le East of France are being deepened and ddened.

At this time, material from the ports of acksonville, Port Everglades, Miami, Tam- a, and Pensacola, and other ports, was anded to Mr. Baudelaire.We were taken on an escorted visit of

he Port of Rouen, particularly the pushbut- an-controlled ten-story silo where a Polish essel, the 10,000-ton Baradewski, was load- ng French wheat for Red China, and the lighly automated banana sheds which can landle 10,000 stems an hour, from West kfrica and French West Indies.

At luncheon, we met the following genfle- nen:Al. Bedel, Vice President de la Chambre de

picture of Florida. M. Bedel, Director of a famous French shipping and collier com-pany, and M. Chasseigne, President of the Rouen Banking Association, were very inter-ested in the idea of French investments in Florida industrial development. We were asked to keep in touch with them.

Mr. Bedel was also interested in the high- density concentrate and the citrus represent-ative gave him a technical brochure thereon.

Mr. Autin promised every assistance to the citrus industry in developing new outlets through Rouen. His Association includes all fruit importers and brokers in the area.

The w ork session in W ashin g t on provid �ed a back gro und o f the Department’s 1963 programs an d object ives.

Hunt reported that “ one underlying theme during the entire meeting w as that U .S. businessmen must raise their sights an d that there a re new opportunit ies for sa les to peo p le a l l over the world who w an t a n d can p a y for a l l k inds of A meri �can g o o ds.”

Mr. Raymond Badin, who in addition to being Chairman of Chamber’s Industrial Committee on Cotton and Textile Products, is in his own right owner of cotton and tex-tile mills, warned that, in his opinion, unless the United States Department of Agriculture revised its present export policy on Ameri-can cotton sales in world markets we shall continue to lose such markets. He pointed out again in his opinion, the poor grading standards of our cotton and the fact that, our product, although usually of inferior quality, is eight cents a pound above world market prices. Mr. Badin was quite em-phatic about this, pointing out that Russia, Turkey, and Greece are rapidly improving their grades and standards and keeping their prices competitive, and are slowly but surely taking away our markets at a time when the United States is only using about 50% of its cotton crop domestically.

We extended an invitation to attend the second Florida World Trade Conference, and said all those present would receive an official invitation.

R ECENT contract awards by U. S. Army Engineer District, Jacksonville, Florida,

have been announced.Center Complex

Continental Consolidated Corporation of Jacksonville, Fla. was awarded a $5,555,000 contract for construction of a second Cen-taur Complex at Cape Canaveral. The first Centaur facility was completed more than a year ago.

Flood Control StructureBenton and Company, Inc. of St. Peters-

burg, Fla. won a $747,003 contract for con-struction of a Central and Southern Florida Flood Control Structure.

Naval Station Building A $108,000 contract was awarded to M.

E. Elkins Company of Jacksonville, Fla. for rehabilitation of a building at Jacksonville Naval Air Station for use as the Armed Forces Examining Station.

Canal Damage E. and I., Inc. of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

won a $75,775 contract for repair of dam-age along Canal 41A in the C and SF project.

Waterway MaintenanceA $186,039.80 contract has been awarded

to Parkhill-Goodloe Company, Inc. of Jack-sonville, Fla. for maintenance dredging on the Intracoastal Waterway between Nassau River and Hobe Sound.

NASA Utilities A $4,454,576.22 contract to a joint ven-

ture of Paul Hardeman, Inc. and Morrison Knudsen Company, Inc. of Stanton, Cali-fornia for construction of primary utilities to serve 40 buildings on NASA’s Merritt Island Launch Area. In addition, a $186,680 contract was awarded to Martin Construc-tion Company of Merritt Island, for con-version of an existing building at Cape Canaveral for use as a communications building.

Helicopter Pad Colonel H. R . Parfitt also announced that

a $112,709 contract has been awarded to Bucon Construction Company, Inc. of Cape Canaveral for construction of a helicopter landing pad and special utilities for atomic submarines using Canaveral Harbor.

Bids Called Bids are being called on a $3 million

series of test buildings for NASA’s Gemini and Apollo spacecraft programs and for a $600,000 communications building, both to be constructed on the Merritt Island Launch

Area. District Engineer Colonel Parfitt said bids on the test buildings will be opened on April 2. Bids will be opened that day for the $600,000 communications building.

Causeway Fill Bids will be opened March 26 on dredg-

ing of fill material for a IV2 mile-long cause-way across Indian River connecting U. S. Highway 1 and NASA Manned Lunar Landing Area at Orsino.

Spoil Island The controversial spoil island created by

the Corps of Engineers on the north side of the Port Everglades Harbor entrance chan-nel will remain in place, it was announced.

A full report on all aspects of the matter was made to the Chief of Engineers, Lt. Gen. W. K . Wilson, Jr . in Washington. Gen-eral Wilson determined that the estimated cost of $200,000 to $300,000 which would be required to completely remove the island is not justified.

Colonel Parfitt said, “Surveys made by the Corps of Engineers indicate that the island is continually eroding and diminishing in size and in time should disappear below the water surface.” This action has not caused any shoaling in the Port Everglades Harbor entrance channel or in the natural channel used by pleasure boats between the island and the beach. “The island will continue to be marked for the benefit of small boat traffic,” Colonel Parfitt continued, “and we will make periodic surveys in order to keep abreast of the exact conditions in the area.”

Two New Waterways Development of two waterway channels

in Florida which have been under study by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, has been found economically feasible, and dredging of the channels has been authorized by the Chief of Engineers.

Colonel Parfitt said that favorable reports have been completed on Cats Point Channel at Boca Ciega Bay on the west coast of Florida and for Garrison Bight at Key West.

Cost of the Boca Ciega Bay 6 by 80 foot channel to serve recreational boating using the West Coast Intracoastal Waterway will be $45,000 and cost of the Garrison Bight 8 by 100 foot channel will be $68,000, Army Engineers said. Florida Congressmen have been notified of the favorable economic report by the Army Engineers and both projects will be scheduled for construction as soon as Congress appropriates funds.
