RESOLUTIONS. 477
WHEREAS, owing to the fact that there are no passes leading
from the Gulf of Mexico into the Laguna Madre between
Corpus Christi Pass and Brazos Santiago Pass, a distance of
:about 130 miles, the shallowness of the waters of Laguna Madre,
-which have no tidal flow become heated in the summer months
to the extent that millions of edible fish are destroyed every
year by the over-salinity of the waters. The destruction of the
fish is not confined alone to the fish of marketable size, but the
spawn and frys and fingerlings which, if protected, would in due
time, become of commercial importance; and
WHEREAS, the open of one or more additional passes thru
Padre Island would not interfere directly or indirectly with commerce,
or with passes constructed by our Federal Government
along our Texas coast, or with any present or future requirements
of the War Department;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE
OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
CONCURRING:
THAT the Federal authorities are hereby requested and urged
to acquiese in the movement on the part of the State of Texas
to construct and maintain one or more passes at its own cost
and expense across Padre Island of sufficient capacity to permit
tidal circulation and the entrance of fish therein and restore the
splendid opportunity for culture, growth and preservation of the
fishing industry as found by the survey of the Game, Fish and
Oyster Commissioner of Texas.

and Representative from Texas, and they are urged to have Congress
act immediately in compliance with this resolution, if Congressional

.action.
