The Houston Port BureauBy T. L. EVANS, General Manager

F ORMED WITH A twofold mission, one to be of service to theshippers throughout the United States, and the other for thesolicitation of additional tonnage through the Port of Houston,

the Houston Port Bureau has grown to be a most importantadjunct to the port and its business.

Formation of the Port Bureau came as the result of a numberof conferences between those parties who were most interestedin the future devlopment of Houston, and it was not untilcareful study had been made of all phases of the work whichwas to be undertaken that representatives of the Bureau tookthe field.

Starting active work on June 1, 1929, the Port Bureau,in the 16 months of its operation, has shown that it is anorganization which hardly can be dispensed with if Houston isto continue to progress as a port.

The Port Bureau was formed as a composite instrument ofall the public and semi-private agencies interested in the develop-ment of the Port of Houston and is administered by a board ofdirectors, each member selected by his own organization.

This board consists of the following: J. Virgil Scott, repre-sentating private terminals; Colonel B. C. Allin, representing thePort Commission; W. N. Blanton, representing the Houston Cham-ber of Commerce; J. M. Lykes, representing the Maritime Com-mittee of the Houston Cotton Exchange and Board of Trade;Raymond C. Stone, representing the Houston Merchants Exchange;H. M. Crosswell, representing private terminals; Thomas Kehoe,representing the Houston Cotton Exchange and Board of Trade;Col. R. C. Kuldell, representing the Houston Chamber of Com-merce; George Pruter, representing the City of Houston; SigmondRothschild, representing the Houston Foreign Trade Club; A. D.Simpson, representing Houston banks.

For the active transaction of business an executive committeeof five members was selected, this board comprising one shipper,one representative of the Port Commission, one of the steamshipagents, one of the private terminal and one of the Chamber ofCommerce. This committee, as functioning at the present timeconsists of J. Virgil Scott, chairman; Colonel B. C. Allin, vice

chairman; W. N. Blanton, secretary-treasurer, and J. M. Lykesand Raymond C. Stone.

The first major effort of the Port Bureau was the establish-ment of offices in the interior to aid in the development of theport through the solicitation of tonnage, and to furnish serviceto shippers. These offices are now conducted with the followinggentlemen in charge:

Kansas Sity: Thomas P. Bartle, 433 Board of Trade Building.New York: John C. Mayfield, 1512 Whitehall Building, 17

Battery Place.Dallas: F. C. Dezendorf, Jr., 1113 Cotton Exchange Building.The Houston office, maintained in the Chamber of Commerce

building is in charge of T. L. Evans, as general manager and H. S.Crawford as his assistant.

All of these gentlemen entered the work of the Port Bureauwith an excellent background, gained through their many yearsconnection with companies which actively were engaged in ship-ping, or handling merchandise, through the Port of Houston.

One of the early activities of the Port Bureau was thepublication of the HousToN PoRT REGISTER, which magazine isissued weekly, and contains items of interest with regard to thehandling of tonnage through this port. The principal purpose ofthe Port Register, however, is the publication of a sailing schedule,which is kept as nearly accurate as is humanly possible.

While the main purpose of the representatives of the PortBureau, both in the interior and through the Houston office, is tosecure the movement of an increased volume of tonnage throughthis port, they are, however, ready at all times to serve theexporter, or importer, in any manner.

Through these representatives can be obtained any informationwanted, regardless of whether it deals with the rate situation, dockshere for handling business, or any of the other hundreds of

questions which come up from time to time.It is the feeling of those connected with the Port that it is

a public agency whose objective is to serve the general andshipping public and in recognition of this fact, the need for acloser contact with the shippers and some constructive andintelligent method of assisting the shippers was recognized.

Houston: Sixth Port of the United Statesin Foreign Commerce

T HE UNITED STATES SHIPPING BOARD in its Report No. 296 forthe calendar year 1929 shows the Port of Houston as fourthin foreign exports, twenty-second in imports and sixth in

combined foreign commerce, as per following table:

New York, N. Y ........................ 27,177,993New Orleans, La ......................... 8,207,797Baltimore, Md ........................ 7,137,023Los Angeles, Calif ....................... 6,738,846Philadelphia, Pa ......................... 6,071,341Houston, Texas ....................... 3,940,876

The above table, in long tons, shows only the foreign com-merce, but to show the real traffic of the port, the totals ofcoastwise and local tonnage should be studied, and the followingtables, in short tons, indicate the rapid development of shippingthrough this gateway of the Southwest.

While 1930 has marked a period of depression through manyports of the world, the Port of Houston has continued to showa healthy increase in tonnage handled, the first ten months indicat-ing an increase of 16.75 per cent over the same period of 1929.

CHANNEL

This map of the Houston ShipChannel indicates how companiesassociated in the United Gas Systemare serving these industries. Thedual pipe line system of these com-panies places at the disposal of ourcustomers a practically inexhaust-ible and unfailing supply of naturalgas.

Natural gas . . . clean, dependable, efficient . .. has

been added to Houston’s geographical advantage in

the development of this important industrial area.

To industry’s favorable shipping facilities has been

brought an abundant supply of economical fuel.

Together they have made possible the expansion and

world-wide recognition that this section now enjoys.

From the mains of companies associated in the United

Gas System, these industries consume over TEN

BILLION CUBIC FEET OF GAS ANNUALLY.

From northern Louisiana, principally the Monroe

and Richland fields, and the Coastal Texas fields of

Refugio, White Point, and Saxet, comes this natural

gas to add to the importance of Houston Ship Chan-

nel Industrial Sites.

That this service will be given a greater impetus is

evidenced by the twenty-million dollars that have

been budgeted for the projection and extension of

natural gas service to industry and homes throughout

Southeast Texas.

The expenditure of such a sum of money is indicativeof the extent to which these companies are servingthe public.
