Construction bids are to be asked in about 90 days on $2,500,000 of new port construction at Pensacola, according to Port Director Phillip Alvarez.

LORID A JOURNAL OF COMMERCE MARCH 1966 5 $ 30-Million Expansion For Port Everglades

PORT EVERGLADES Port Everglades Commissioners started out the new year with a bang by placing their stamp of approval on a gigantic $30 million expansion program which will take 20 years to complete and virtually double dockside facilities. Port Chairman R. A. “Dick” Basinger said the overall program as outlined in a comprehensive feasibility study is divided into four phases with each phase to be developed at five-year intervals. The first phase, for instance, which already has received the unanimous vote of the Commissioners, calls for the ex- penditure of $11,585,000 from 1966 through 1970. Major projects in the initial phase are: • $1,000,000 passenger terminal at Pier 7, capable of han- dling four ocean liners and upwards of 2,500 passengers; Phase two will cover the period of 1971-1975 and cat • Complete drydock facility with a Syncrolift elevator which for $9,119,500.

n late 1965 the port of Tampa clashed with the pro- I posed port at Manatee over phosphate shipping. Tampa opposed the construction of a railroad spur line from the phosphate fields into Piney Point in Manatee county, site of the proposed loading facility. As a result of that clash, several alternate proposals have been made for construction of loading facilities in the port of Tampa to replace those which, though operating now, will be phased out in the future. In addition, alter- nate railways have been proposed to bring the phosphate into Tampa rather than Manatee. The following article attempts to describe those pro- posals. ACL-SAL Spur To M anatee This rail spur was proposed as a joint effort of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad and the Seaboard Airline Railroad. The line originates six miles south of Fort Meade where it switches off the existing north-south ACL line and runs southwest for three miles until it crosses from Polk into Hardee county. Then it continues in a straight line west into Manatee county without entering Hillsborough county. The proposed line is 44 miles long crossing four creeks, three U.S. highways, two state highways, and two lines of the SAL. It terminates at Piney Point where it junctions with another ACL line running north and south. Cost of the line is estimated at $7,947,453 excluding Adamo Drive Industrial District,Tam pa, Florida cost of the yard to be constructed at Piney Point.

18 FLORIDA JOURNAL OF COMMERCE MARCH 1966 MASTER PLAN - - PORT MANATEE

Tampa Phosphate Railroad The first counter-proposal to the ACL-SAL spur was made by private business interests from Port Sutton. They proposed to build a line from the phosphate fields directly to their waterfront industrial sites at Port Sutton. The proposed line is 30 miles long and would originate at Pierce almost at the back door of one of International Minerals and Chemi- cal Corporation’s wet rock mines. (IMC owns the present drying plant and loading elevator at Port Sutton). The new line would cross three rail lines, three creeks or rivers, two state highways, and two U.S. highways. The company estimates the new line would cost about $5 million including the rolling stock but not inclding the overpasses and trestles needed. The Sargent Proposal While the Interstate Commerce Commission was in session in Tampa to decide whether or not to grant permission for the ACL-SAL spur and the Tampa Phosphate Railroad, the chief engineer in the report division of New York engineering firm Ford, Bacon & Davis informed the court during his testimony that he had an alternate pro- posal which was better than the other two.

<1> ■D U East Bay Phosphate Elevators This loading facility is designed to be the equal of the one pro- posed for Manatee; its specifications and capabilities duplicate those described in the lease signed by the railroads with Manatee. The plans were drawn up by George A. Sargent, chief engineer report division of Ford, Bacon & Davis, Inc. They envision two load- ing elevators each of 2,800 short tons per hour capacity. East Bay would differ from Manatee only in the rail yard layout. The East Bay plan calls for three 150-car receiving tracks, three 150- car departure tracks, two 150-car running tracks, a 500-car classifi- cation yard, a hump, an 800-car storage yard, plus a 150-car feed yard and 150-car empty yard for each of the two loading elevators. Cost of this loading facility was estimated at $11,263,587. Yearly rental of the facility would probably have to be $570,000, which is $157,500 less than the corresponding rate at Manatee due to the lack of dredging costs.
