INSPECTED THE TERMINALS

j, r, Rowland, traffic manager or
the Brunswick Steamship Company,
with headquarters in New York, was
visitor to the city yesterday, hav-
ing arrived from New York in the
morning, and returning last night.
Mr. Rowland spent the day looking
over the terminals of the company in
the southern section of the city ana
making preliminary arrangements TO-
the coming of the first steamer of the
liEe next month. He statel that the
steamer Satilla would be turned over
to the company on November 10 Dy
the Four River Shipbuilding Company,
and that she would then proceed TO
New York, take on miscellaneous
cargo and continue to Brunswick.
When questioned on the subject Oh
a wharf for the vessel on her first
trip, Mr.. Rowland stated that the ter
minals of the company In this city
would be sufficiently competed by the
.'tinpA the ship arrives to afford her
la1i@lng place. He explained that the
first trip of the ship would rot be the
formal opening of the company's bust
ness, but that it would be merely the
first trip and that the formal opening
would not occur until the full fleet
of four ships were completed and IN
commission.
MIR. Rowland also announced that
r. H. Manser, at present with the
BIuefeld Steamship Company at Mo
bile. had been appointed suEerintend-
ent of terminals of the new company,
and that he would arrive in Bruins
wick to take UP his headquarters
about January 1. He was net in posi-
ton to announce who would be the
local manager of the new company.
What do you think of your terml
nails here?" was asked oy the re-
porter.
well. they look mighty fine at
present. and the work is progressing
rapidly, / only had time to make
q quick visit this afternoon. but
everything seems to be progressing
in good shape and when finished
think the Brunswick Steamship Com
pany will have as good terminals as
any road in the south.
Mr.. Rowland partially outlined the
schedule of the trips of the fou:
steamers after they are all placed on
the line. OF course just at this time
1t is impossible to say definitely just
now the ships will be operated. but
the traffic manager says that the
four ships will not ply between Bruins
wick and Boston, stopping On eacn
trip at New York, as is tnc general
impression, but that two of the ships
would be operated between Bruins
wick and boston and two between
Brunswick and New York, thereby
making faster time to the two big
ports of the east.

many years experience in the steam
snip company. Until recently he wa
traffic manager of the Joy STEAMSHIP
Line, which operates steamers be-
tween several of the northern anu
eastern ports. He said he was IN
Brunswick just twenty-seven years
ago, and while he was mere boz
at that time he remembers something
of the city, and he expressed himself
as being surprised that brunswick
had grown from mere village OF
probably dozen or two families to a
thriving city of twelve or fifteen
thousand people.
Mr., Rowland returned to New York
last night, but says he hopes to yisi.
Brunswick frequently hereafter, ana
within the next decade expects to see
the city more than double It's popu-
Iation.
