BOAT PROMISED EVERY WEEK

All differences between the Mont gomery shippers ana officials of th :, B. and c. Navigation Company seem to have been adjusted. for the an- nouncement was made yesterday after noon that beginning on Tuesday a weekly boat Is to be run from Mo- bile to Montgomery the year round.
 .Officials of the B. and c. Company have felt that they might have been a little severe in dealing with Mont gomery, and they have felt that Mont gomery might have been e little severe with the company, but we want to do the best thing for Montgomery and Intermediate shipping points," said F. c. Briggs of Morris Brothers. Phiia- delphia,, who was in Montgomery ad- justing the finances of the company yesterday.
 We have matured our plans for the establishment of 6 local directorate, and we will open an office in Mont gomery to employ not less than three men.

 All the shippers are willing to co. operate with us, and think 1t advis- able to do nothing further with the Independent boat line until we prove that we do not carry out our promises in providing ample transportation facilities"

 The conference of shippers and of- ficials of the B. and c. line held yes- terday was the outcome of agitation of several weeks by shippers of Mont gomery, and their proposal to estab- fish an Independent boat line on the Alabama. Some weeks ago the B. and e. announced that their river service would be abandoned temporarily for the summer months. and the protest from the Montgomery shippers began immediately.
