CANAL-bOAT LACK
j |MPA|RS UTILITY
Mr.. ZihIman Urges Govern
ment Help to Increase Tom
mage Garry Coal.

Renewed effort to bring about in
creased coal shipm ments to Washington
via the Chesapeake and Ohio canal is
man of Maryland and others, who be-
1ieve that full utilization of the water
way might prevent coal famine in
Washington next winter.
In letter to Secretary McAdoo,
Mr.. Zihlman points out that while the
government has co-operated with the
canal company in the matter OF facili-
tating the loading and unloading Of
boats at Cumberland and Washington,
1t has done nothing to increase tom
mage on the canal.
Decrease in Tonnage.
"Durins the past month" he states,
ethere was brought to Washington
about 10000 tons of coal. II the tow
age company can continue to haul
season there will be brought to Wash
fngton not more than 100000 tons Of
bituminous coal, which is less than
the amount hauled during the past
season.
Il therefore deem this matter Of
b0iiCicHl Importance 10 Justify Ihe
government in taking such steps as
will considerably increase the tom
mage Of this water route.
More Boats Needed.
'-This could be done by having q
number of new boats built. as / un-
derstand the uncertain labor condi-
tions have prevented the canal towage
company from adding to the number
OF boats in operation. There are at
present but seventy-six boats engaged
in hauling coal from Cumberland to
Washington. which is Just about the
lumber engaged in transportation last
year.
with government aid II would be
possible to increase this number,
either by building new boats or by
making alterations and repairs on
boats which have been discarded by
other and more modern waterways
Il would be grateful IL you would
advise me as to whether the railroad
Administration has any plans under
Advisemsnt to augment the present
tonnage on this waterway, and IL in
your opinion It is possible to increase
the tonnage hauled by the methods
outlined above"

BUILDINGS PUT UP;

Temporary Structures Built
: by Government to Test
;r. "Cost-PIus" Results.
KEPT WITHIN ESTIMATES

Three temporary office buildings
which provide working space fol-
--..6.250 persons have been erected in
: Henry and Seaton parks recently by
the construction division of the Army
without the employment of a con-
tractor. in ten weeks.
One of the buildings, three-story
structure, 491 feet long, $50 feet
wide, with floor space Of 27o.oOo
square feet, was ready for occupancy
stwenty-four working days after the
first spadeful Of earth was turned.
Provides Measuring Stick.
The principal reason for the con-
etruction divisions undertaking this
itself with measuring stick" for
gauging the work of private con-
tractors on the other big jobs they
are now doing for the Army under
vision on the "cost-plus" form of con-
tract. The result, it is declared. has
justified the "cost-plus" contract and
proved that the government is and
has been getting what it has paid
for in the construction work, both
addition to having the work per-
aformed with the necessary speed.
The buildings are now occupied by
the surgeon generals office. the ord
nance department and the Signal
Corps. The building occupied by the
engineering division of the ordnance
department Is reinforced concrete and
is completely freproof The others
with automatic sprinkling systems
and brick and concrete fire towers.
Heretofore all emergency war-use
buildings have been erected by con-
tractors. When the construction d.
vision was requested to provide these
three buildings, the permission of the
Secretary of War was secured to
Eerect the buildings without the aid
hof contractors. All skilled and un-
gskilled workers were employed
through the Civil Service Commission
land the work was supervised and di-
Tected by officers of the construction
division. The president of the Civil
Service Commission co-operated and
the results obtained show that this
: method can be successfully employed
on q limited number Of jobt.

Generals Office building on March %.
