Sadler North Carolina's seaport resour ces now arc thought to be on the road to proper recognition and development, and supporters of the movement say they will aid in bringing North Carolina greater prosperity. Governor Scott, in his inaugural address January 6, called attention to the advisability of developing port resources, saying that they "are of vital concern to the entire slate, not merely to the area adja cent to them." Alter research and survey acliv 1 1 Irs covering nearly two years, the North Carolina State Ports Author ity is asking I he H4! General As sembly to appropriate approximate ly $7,500,000 to be used for Hie con struct ion of adequate and modern port terminal facilities at Wilming ton and Morchcad City. Members anil officials of the Port Authority, and others who have investigated the possibilities and potentialities, e convinced mat approval oi im ports program will result in vast iinliislri.il expansion and conse cpieut economic piospeiily lor practically eveiy area ot North Ca i ulina. I .ciders in public lile. hu..inev . iiiil'islry. agriciill lire and labor, and many of Hie Stale's nutstand ing civic and commercial organia lions. newspapers, and private in dindiials also have endorsed the program. Among I hose who have publicly voiced oval of the polls project are Senators Clyde It I lory and .1 Melville Broughton, tormer Governor J. C. Ehringhatis, practically all members of the Morth Carolina delegation in the United Stales House of Represen lalives. and illallv others, such as the State Ft deration of Labor. Hie North Carolina Association ill ; Chambers of Commerce Execu tives, and the North Carolina So ciety of Engineers. The roster of newspapers winch are supporting editorially the ports program covers every section of the State. The North Carolina Slate Toils Authority was created by the I!I47 St: te legislature, and it was grant oil an appropriation of $100,000. for the biennium, lo be used for administrative and research pur poses. Studies and investigations by the Ports Authority of poll de velopment and expansion in other states have resulted in the conclu sion that North Carolina is losing millions of dollars each year through failure to develop this State's port resources. Col. George W. Gillette, execu tive director of Hie Ports Author ity, says that his numerous con tacts and conferences with busi ness, industrial, agricultural, edu cational and labor leaders through out the State indicate that the ports program providing for ex pansion and modcrni.alion to an extent that will enable North Caro lina ports to compete wilh those of adjacent states has the un qualified endorsement of a large majority ot those with whom he has talked. Emphasizing thai investment in modernized ports facilities will be "self -liquidating," Col. Gillette con tinned, "The North Carolina Stale Ports Authority, an agency of the Slate, charged with (he duty of develop Oldsmobile Means More Car For Your Money -Futuramic Design, Hydra-Matic Drive, and High-Compression "Rocket" Engine! that'll I lie hip thin); in 'utiirainir. Olilnmohilr, you eet m . ing ports, both large and small, is requesting from the 194!) General Assembly an appropriation of ap proximately $7,500,000 for the con struction of modern docks, transit sheds, and warehouses at More head City and Wilmington. Col. Gillette said that plans for improvements at Morchcad City in elude much needed alterations and repairs to the present docking faci lities and construction of a transit shed and" modern warehouse. This, he said, is essential before an ap preciable volume ot traffic can he properly handled. The long-range program calls for construction ol 'tlililioiial transit sheds, warehous cs, docks and other necessary faci lilies, as traffic volume warrants ! Transit sheds. Col Gillette ex t plained, are sti iicliues where com nioditics can be slorcd temporarily while awaiting shipment by rail, highway, or water. The ware houses would be used for long-term storage ol commodities, such as to li'tt'o in hogsheads, while await in;; trail'- shipment. Explaining that a laiger sum is to be expended at Wilmington, Col Gillette said that is necessary be caiiM' I he proposed site of the term 1 1 1 1 1 there the northern portion ol Hie North Carolina Shipyard at piesent has no lacihties what ever Adequate dockage . space, model nly designed slruclures, in eluding a transit shed and a waie house, similar to those planned lor Moiehend City, will have lo be enled Iroin Inundations to coin )U-t 1 1 ill .

City and Wilmington as soon as adequate facilities are available It has been conservatively esti mated, he said, that at least 175,000 hogsheads of tobacco could be han dled yearly through North Caroli na ports, adding that "our esti mates show that if we had the facilities, we would be handling approximately 200,000 hogshead this year, most of which is now moving through Norfolk or Charleston." Col. Gillette said that the van tins charges such as storage, whiirage, handling, and stevedor ing on 175,000 hogsheads of to bacco would yield Slate revenues of almost $450,000, depending up on the methods of handling the tobacco, and the amount of tunc j it is kept m storage, which ranges tioui :0 days to a lull year, or longer. Other commodities, be added, which can he handled profitably m practically the same manner as to bacco, include bagging, canned goods, eollon. knitted ptoducK textiles, eollon hntcrs. newsprint and ciuuiui'rcial paper, peanuts, crude rubber, sugar, fertilizer and fcrlili7.iT materials, and scores of other products.
