November, 1930 HOUSTON PORT AND CITY43
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.

HOUSTON
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.
UNITED GAS SYSTEM]’he Houston Gulf Gas Company and The Dixie
Gulf Gas Company are units of
]’he United Gas System, serving industries of the Houston Ship
Channel
