FOR SYSTEM ON WATERWAYS
Railway Trustee Of opinion That an
Inland Marine Could Be Made
Highly Profitable.

The establishment Of an internal
waterways merchant marine under
government control is suggested in a
letter to Mayor Calvin from John
Weld Peck, Cincinnati Southern
railway trustee. The letter in part
is as follows: Tndividual steam
boat or lines owned by comparative
by small companies, reaching but
few points and without systematic
interchange, have proven, in modern
times, generally speaking, unproiit-
able and unable to maintain them
selves.
"The secret Of successful operation
upon these rivers lies in a unified
system reaching all ports under the
many navigable tributaries Of the
Mississippi river, with a systematic
interchange Of freight at modern
docks located at convenient ports Of
interchange, regularity Of saillngs,
modern type Of vessel designed ex-
clusiyely for the transportation Of
freight and the same measure Of re-
sponsibility upon the part of the car
rier for the safe carriage Of goods a.
ia now in force "a to railroads. Ma
rine ways and shipping yards exist at
many points along all Of these
streams, and with a comparatively
moderate capitalization, possibly $j,-
900, 1000, such system could be in.
stalled by the goycrnmcnt."-Cin-

On November 5, you will be giyer
the opportunity to show by vott
whether or not you are in favor 0:
better schools for our children.
Last year we were compelled to bor
row money with which to run ou'
schools. Unless we remedy this con
dition by voting an increase in levy
we must borrow again. Any business
man knows that no plant can be ,rul
on such a basis. In order to plac
our schools on a sound financial basis
and in order to keep them in their pre-
ent class, the Board is asking that yo7
add an increase Of one mill to the ia:
I duplicate. Even with this increase il
levy, the amount you will pay TO
taxes will be less than you paid las
wear, due to the fact that there ha
been a decrease in the township rate:
Without this increase our school
must go back.
Do not fail to vote for it!
Very truly yours,
