Abstract
The speaker is not going to discuss the subject of an ideal method of collecting port revenues, nor consider, except briefly, the various expedients now practiced in raising enough money to operate port facilities. He is going to discuss, primarily, the practical financial difficulties that confront public port construction work in the North and South Atlantic outports, because of the established practice of the railroads in offering free berths to steamships in the foreign trade. All the Atlantic ports of the United States, except New York, are called outports.
