REVIVE TRAFFIC IN
THE MISSISSIPPI
Engineering Department is Gathering
Statistics to Include in Next
Annual Report

Statistics to Include in Next
Annual Report.
If found propitious by the United
States government, freight traffic on
| the Mississippi river will be revived.
Conditions are now being studied by
engineers in the employ of the gov.
eminent and an investigation has
| been started to determine the best
TYPE of barge for use on the river.
Many cities along the big stream
have received statements in letters
to this effect.
More than year ago 100000 was
voted for the purpose of reviving com
mercial traffic on the Mississippi and
the work has been taken up The
following letter relative to the situa-
ton has been sent out by Major C..
Keller, OF the Davenport engineers
office:
Il. 1t is desired that our next an
nual report contain information re-
garding proposed docks and appli-
ances at the principal cities for
handling and transhipping freight.
lit Is well known that the actual cost
of transportation by water is far less
than by rail. but that Inadequate IA
cilities for handling freight overcome
the advantages that water should
have, and the railroads keep the bust
ness.
az. Assistants are requested to
take up these subjects for the prin-
cipal cities In their divisions and en-
deavor to forecast the increase In
freight that would follow proper
methods of handling and transfer.
In this connection, the output and In
take of factories should be considered,
most of which is now shipped by rail,
with view of ascertaining what pro-
portion of this commerce would pass
to the boats under favorable condi-
ton.
49, study of these and other be-
lated matters is desired for the
cities designated in your division.

Major, Corps of Engineers

Fracasos polic1acos

ST nos dejamos llevar de la corriente
de opinion p1blica, tendr1amos que de-
cir de lleno que la polic1a insuar, tai
como esta hoy constituida es un cuerpo
completamente in1til fracasado por
10 tanto inepto para ell desempeno de las
atlas fUnciones que la sociedad le tiene
confiadas pero no habremos de incurrir

Ell las colrmnas de un peri6dico, dire
mos sencillamente que Sc impone toda
costa una reforma de ese cuerpo
ante los fracasos inconcebibles indis-
culpabes de algunos de los individuos
que 10 integran.

lidad del Lcdo. don Eduardo Acula 4

presentadas sin fundamente alguno que
han tenido que sobreseerse y de otras
que, basadas Ell hechOs reales y pOsiti
vos, no han pOdido tramitarse debido
venir equivocados los nombres de los de-
nunciados; erase error que redunda
siempre en- perjuicios de la buena mar
cha de la administration de justicia y
de la tranquilidad de los ciHdadanos.
