"As representative in Austin, Savage framed the bill which upon its enactment remitted to Corpus Christi the ad valorem taxes from seven surrounding counties for a period of 25 years. The fund thus accumulated was to be set aside for construction of a sea wall, breakwaters and 'other facilities for port purposes.' Enacted in 1916 and since extended, the bill was conditioned upon designation of Corpus Christi as a deep water port by the Federal Government." Corpus Christi Times.
