"I remember stIli the morning In

me of the assassination OF your great

read and thought and heard so much
about him that when I visited his

that I could sit down at the table
and feel as IL were one OF the

laughingly added. Perhaps that is
the reason why the Springfield people
asked me to deliver q series Of ad-
dresses upon the life and character
OF their most illustrious citizen. Need
say that regard him as not only
the greatest. but the most lovable

BARGES TO BE
BUILT TO HAUL
COAL And OIL
u. S. Shipping Board Con.
tracts for 300 Power
less Boats.

The United States Shipping Board
has entered upon q new program
OF water transportation which
should give valuable aid In avert
ing a worse fuel famine this winter
than last.
Two hundred wooden sea-going
barges Of an aggregate tonnage OF
100000 will be built in the quickest
possible time and will be employed
10 carry coal to New England. The
first of these barges will be deliver
ed to the Shipping Board in August
or September and all deliveries will
be made before December I. BY the
time the barges are completed pow
erful towboats. now being built,
will be ready for service and the
transportation of coal for New Eng
land consumption by barges will be-
gin.
Fuel to New England.
Water transportation Of fuel to
New England will do much to re-
lieve the rail congestion and car
shortage which Is the greatest
menace in the threatened fuel famine
and especially will permit a greater
rail movement OF coal for New York
City and other eastern points south
Of the New England States.
One hundred concrete capsule
barges will be built to bring oil from
the Tampico fields to the United
States. This feet will have an ag-
gregate tonnage Of 10000, or about
800 tonnage for each barge. 1t is
the present plan to bring the oil
across the Gulf Of Mexico to gulf
ports. The effect Of this phase of
fuel shipping will be to avert the
cutting OF of the fuel oil supply to
some Of the industries which use oil
as fuel. and should AFFORD a plentiful
supply Of refined oil and gasoline for
the normal consumption.
Fifty concrete barges OF 1,500 tons
each, or an aggregate tonnage of
5000. will be built for general use
as coal barges.
In all 102 towboats are being built
for the Shipping Board, and their
number will be increased as may be
necessary to furnish towing power
for the barges. and the feet Of barges
will also be increased from time to
time as there may be demand and
facilities for building them.
77S,O00 Tons Of New shipping.
Chairman Hurley believes that with
an aggregate new tonnage Of 775.000 in
barge shipping the Shipping Board
will be able to give valuable aid in
the solution of the fuel and other
transportation problems that may be-
set the railroad administration.
Ocean-going barge transportation
may prove to be a big aid in settling
the shipping problems. The barge
trade will release shipping for over
seas. and especially should oil barges
release the big tankers to carry
the necessary supply of oil for the
use Of our troops overseas and the
allies.
Another feature Of the barge build
ing program is that II will not in
terfere in the slightest with the ship
building program. The barges will be
built by firms and in yards where
ships are not under construction.
