widened at some future time, as TO allow the
passing of two boats that would occupy the full
lock width, the capacity Of one such boat would
be about twenty-six hundred tons. Just what
will be the economical size of boats under new
conditions whether one large boat or a tandem
of two smaller boats, whether it may not
prove that the best results will be secured by
a fleet of four 1000 ton barges that will require
two ockages in passing each lock. or by fleet
of four boats each about $50 feet long by 81
feet wide with a combined capacity of about
three thousand tons. which can attain com
paratively high speed and can be passed at one
