tanned for that city the cheapest tariff
both by canal and by rail between the
Great Lakes and the seaboard. The
State of New York has given the most
emphatic approval of its past experience
in this respect by the action of its legs-
lature in recently passing an act author
izing the issuing of bonds to the amount
of $10l 000, 600 for the purpose of enlarg-
ing this same Erie Canal to depth OF
twelve feet so as to accommodate sea-
going barges having a maximum draft
of ten feet
Beginning abou1 1880 barge traffic was
introduced between the northern ports,
being first utilized in the movement of
coal from the terminals of the coal roads
to the various ports of New England and
the Middle States. Later barges came
into use to and from the Chesapeake ports
and still later in the movement of heavy
products and principally lumber from the
North Carolina ports. The result has
been a decrease of freight rates over the
former rates by sail vessel of from SO Is
TO so per cent. and in the movement of
coal much greater reduction was eff
fccted
The ports South of North Carolina
have heretofore been denied the advant
age of this cheap form of water-borne
transportation in their trade with the
Northern ports. This is due to the dan
gerous navigation around Cape Hatteras
and Diamond Shoals, where the risk is so
great as to prohibit navigation by barges
Several times has the attempt been made
but in each instance abandoned. TIE
main purpose of this waterway is to make
possible the establishment of barge
transportation between the Northern and
Southern ports so that each may obtain
the benefit of reduced cost OF traffic
movement.
OF course il is not necessary to advert
to the immense benefits which Will

The Importance of an inland waterway
connecting Chesapeake Bay with Beau
fort Inlet in the development of our
coastwise commerce between the North
ern and Southern ports is almost univer-
sally admitted. No one to whom the sub
ject has been presented has doubted its
beneficial results. The proposed depth
of sixteen feet Will be sufficient to ac
commodate ocean going steamers and
barges.
The chief argument in it's favor from
a commercial standpoint may be briefly
summarized. The cheapest known form
of transportation is that by barges towed
by tug. The capacity of the tug TO
take a tow of from three to six barges,
each barge having dead weight capacity
of from fifteen hundred to twenty-five
hundred tons. makes possible a move
ment particularly of bulky products at
minimum of cost. Major Thomas w.
Symons. Of the Corps of Engineers. I.
S A. who has made a study of inland
waterways and their relation to traffic,
estimates on such a waterway having
sufficient depth to accommodate barges
with a draft of ten feet and a capacity
of fifteen hundred TONS that bulky pro-
ducts might be transported at an average
cost of so hundredths of mill per ton
per mile Every person at all familiar
with transportation will appreciate the
force of this statement and the resultant

The wisdom of the men interested in the
