the launch reached the ferry. City Engi- neer Kendrick brought along market basket filled with sandwiches, but he had placed them under the seat in the stern of the launch and promptly forgot they were there.
 The party was getting desperate, and began to browse about i'll the boat finally leeating some coffee, sugar and cream. They unearthed a coffee pot, filled it with water and coffee, and placed it upon charcoal stove to heat. The cof- fee soon was provided, but cups had to be found. This difficulty was overcome hy the discovery of three cups, with saucers to match, and four spoons. There were 30 in the party, the government launch carrying capacity load and MT. McCermack's S launch being loaded to the beams tsa fHe
 Three cups proved large enough to sup ply the crowd, although many of them V ere trifle impa tient at the delay. City Commissioner Truss poured himself cup of ccffee, a spoonful of sugar and a few drops of the precious cream. stirred it while and drank the mixture. He then leaned over the gunwale, dipped his cup in the river and handed it to his neigh Dor. who followed the same procedure, using the river for dishpan.
 The launch proceeded three-fourths of a mile down the river from the ferry to the proposed terminus of the Taylors Ferry route to make an inspection. Most of the party stepped ashore, leaving four in the boat One of the four rummaged about among the stores and found slab of bacon. Continuing the search, he dis covered three boxes of crackers and ham. A shout brought most of the party back to the boat. Pocket knives were produced, and in considerably less time than it requires in the writing, the live coals in the charcoal stove were sizzling as the bacon was dropped upon them, and the delicious odor of broiling bacon arose. bringing the entire party back to the boats.
 R. F. Johnston dug up pound of cheese and another box of crackers and proceeded to cut the cheese into thin strips. issuing cheese sandwiches as long as the cheese held out.
 The party devoured the food provided and proceeded to the ferry. As they reached the landing, City Engineer Ken dricl suddenly remembered his sand wiches, and produced them. He made more enemies in that one instant than he could have acquired in any other manner in a lifetime.
 Among those in the Chamber of Conn merce inspection party were H. E. Mc- Corrnack, Capt. H. c. Whiteman of New Orleans; Richard F. Johnston. city engi- peer: Julian F. Kendrick Erskine Ram say, Murray Brown. c. H. Ohme, John w Sibley, W. c. Radcliffe, K. A. Con vile, City Commissioner J. D Truss, Dr. R.

 The party was met at Vivian by a large delegation, which proceeded with it to the river At the Locust Fork point more than 75 people. in addition to the Chamber of Commerce, were present to see them off on the river trip.

TRUSS GIVES VIEWS

City Commissioner J. D. Truss, talking informally on the return trip from the river, stated that, In his opinion, the best thing to be done at the moment is for an electric line to be pushed direct to the river by the shortest route. this line to cross the river and extend on to Jasper the idea being that 1t could be used as a nucleus for a great inter- urban line crossing the state.
 MT. Truss was of the opinion that an be of no value but that if it extended ing camps between Birmingham and the for the purpose of conveying freight to things being equal, ne was inclined to (This is the Wylam- Mulga route. ire quently referred to as the Shorter" route)

SURPRISED AT DEPTH

@. That the committee was agreeably surprised to find a depth of some 10 feet .of water at a point about quarter of d mile below Nichols fish trap with nat ural shelf for landing purposes, which In the judgment of Captain Whiteman of the Warrior River Navigation com pany, who was with the party, and who Is river man of many years experience on the Mississippi, was splendidly adapt ed for the purpose.
 His further opinion that there was am pie depth and width of the river at that point for freight transportation purposes in large tonnage was concurred in by Government Engineer Little, who took the party dow the river in his launch, and whose knowledge of the river and engineering skill enabled him to enlighten us in a wonderfully instructive and help ful manner on all phases of the most vital and important undertaking.
 ''S. There is no doubt whatever about terminal facilities and depth and width of harbor at Taylor's Ferry it's only handicap being the extra length of six miles, with the consequent excess of first cost for a completed hard surface, paved highway, such as will be ultimately nec- essary and the resultant perpetual excess cost of road transportation for 12 miles to and from Birmingham.
 ''4. 1t is the judgment of the corr--'t : tee that further searching and exhaustive investigation and surveys should be made of both routes as to approximate cost, and whether they can be shortened, while at the same time maintaining the maxi mum grade Of per cent, take care of provide safe and adequate approaches n the landing nlaces
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-02-20
SAYING IN COST

5 The committee was profoundly inn pressed with the advantages of the up- per route, all other things being equal, in that it was six miles shorter, which meant great saving in first cost, both of highway and electric railway, and the operation of same, and would be part of a great interstate highway extending across the river through Jasper and Flor ence to Memphis; also a more feasible means for the city to extend it's cor porate limits and thereby make Birming- ham an actual river point.
 "6. The committee desires to express it's grateful appreciation of the many courtesies extended at all times and the valuable information furnished by the board of revenue and it's highway engi- neer; also to Major Little for his invalu- able cooperation and unfailing interest in the proposition, and to the press of Birmingham for it's patriotic and unselfsh efforts to bring it to successful conclu- sion. A great community spirit has been born that if persisted in will make for success and enable Birmingham to meas. ,ure up to her destiny as the metropolis of the south"
