Representative John n. Small, lof the
First North caroll6a district, d mem mem
Der o. the Rivers and Harbots com!
ulitee, Is one Of The most ardent
workers for the further improvements
Of. our waterways, canals and harbors.
In speaking OF waterway development

We shall not have an Ideal national
policy in the Improvement OF water.
ways until the American people shall
be appropriately educated upon this
subject and a wise public opinion
shall enforce its mandate ,upon the
Congress. Much has been done ID
this line Of education. For about n
decade n propaganda has been waged
the effect OF which Is easily dlscerni.
bic. The National Rivers and Har.
bors Congress has made a large con.
tribution int wa: OF inculcuting a
wise policy. Various associations
throughout the country have been Or.
ganized to promote specific projects
and at the same time they have di.
rected the attention of the public to
the necessity and wisdom Of Improved
waterways. The people are gradually
learning that the problem is not sec.
tional but national and that the PEG.
pie OF the interior even when distant
from waterways, receive an Indirect
advantage affording ample compen.
satlon.
"But the mere improvement OF nat.
ural waterways and the construction
OF artificial waterways are not alone
sufficient. They must be utilized. One
of the necessary incidents in the Of.
fective and economic use of water.
ways is the construction Of proper
terminals. No wise manager OF a rail.
road would think OF undertaking the
building up or taking care OF the traf.
fic upon his railroad without proyId,
ing adequate terminals. Each station
must have its side tracks and at every
point where large traffic exists there
must be a large area with Its net.

With waterways terminals are equal
Is important. Wherever there is q
feeder for the water carrier n proper
terminal must be constructed, and
the greater the tretfic the more com.
plete and capacious must be the Wa,
ter terminal. The main purpose Iii
view must be the transfer OF freight
between the water carrier and the
warehouse. or between the water car
rier and the railroad with the utmost
dispatch and the greatest economy. A
waterway is essentially incomplete
without these water terminals.
