difficulty I'm making a success of water
transportation is the cost of terminal

entire absence of such terminals on
many navigablc rivers. Then again
the commission found that in localities
where waterborne traffic has in
creased careful and elaborate provi-
sion has been made for the handling
of freight i'm the most economical man
ne.
The president referred to the many
advantages railroads possess over wa
ter routes in the transportation of
freight and declared that to meet these
-iyer transportation men must devote
their attention to overcoming disad-
vantagcs as to terminals and transfers
involved in variation of river levels.
The president spoke of the fact that
the railroads cut traffic rates wherever
there is water competition, thus dis
couraging river business. He also
pointed out that they raise rates as
soon as river business has been thus
suppressed.
Joint Traffic Necessary.
Provision has been made, he COM

one of the great hindrances TO sue

Present Method is Haphazard.

The president then reviewed In
