What Other Cities Think of
New Coastwise Service
/
Corpus Christi, Texas, Oct. 1 —
Information was received in the
city yesterday morning by private
advices and by the Commercia
Club, announcing additional sail-
ngs of the Seaboard and Gulf
Steamship Company from New
York to Port Aramas. The first
sailing to be announced some
weeks ago was for Oct. 3. Further
sailings will be for October 22
and November 8.
The announcement of these
/ sailings from New York, direct
to Port Aransas, form an impor-
tant chapter in the commercial
development of this section of the
state. The present rate on first
class merchandise froih New York
by rail is $1.72 per hundred. By
the new steamer service the rate
will be about 85 cents per hun-
dred, a saving of 87 cents per
hundred, or about $1 7 per ton.
Credit for the establishment of
le new 3teamer service is due
ery largely to the efficient efforts
of W. A. Scrivner, trafic manager
of the Aransas Harbor Terminal
Railway, Aransas Pass Channel
and Dock Company and the Port
Aransas Transportation Company.
For some months these companies
^RaVe been considering the es-
tablishment of a direct service
New York City to Pert Aransas.
The Port is new and as yet no
steamer service between New
York and Port Aransas has been
established. Mr. Scrivnet a few
weeks ago visited San Antonio
Chamber of Commerce and the
jobbers of that city in agreeing to
have tonnage out of New York
routed by water. Almost enough
tonnage was secured fot the first
sailirg.
Coming to Corpus Chrisii, Mr.
Scrivner in a few hours had sign-
ed up with Corpus Christi mer-
chants for freight out of New
York to complete the cargo of
the steamship Honduras, a 3,000
ton boat of the Seaboard & Gulf
Steamship line. The first cargo
sured, Mr. Scrivner announced
l ! e sailing for Oct. 3, returned to
^ ransas Pass in good spirits, and
has since been active in securing
tonnage for the two steamer sail-
ings out of New York, which were
announced yesterday.
The new steamer freight service
is expected to be maintained
regularly between New York City
and Port Aransas. Business men
throughout this section of the
state are already beginning to see
what a tremendous saving can be
made in water shipments of mer-
. chandise. The direct routing will
assure quick time for merchan-i
dise between the two ports.
