Government to Finance Operation of Big Steamer and Barge Line to Relieve Traffic Congestion
 on the Railroads.

New Orleans, was appointed federal manager. For years he has been Identified with the glrf slipping. Working with him are A. W. Mackie, regional manager, and Theodore Bren regional manager, and Theodore Brent, who will supervise traffic de- tails.
 MT. Sanders assumed his duties ear ly in July and immediately instituted a search for available craft With which to begin operation. He de- clared needs were too pressing to await construction of steel barges. After a survey of the district he a1l- nounced that 0 barges and seven tow boats had been found and that by September the barge line between St. Louis and New Orleans would begin operation on weekly schedule.
 Meanwhile orders for additional bhrges and towboats @Were placed and construction of docks began. The latter, like the barges, are for the most part temporary makeshifts. In St. Louis, for instance. it was decid- cd that the proposed muncipally- owned dock, costing $300000 would require too long to build. According ly a small landing was erected at cost of $15,0OO to meet present needs.
 Advices from other river cities in- dicate similar activity. New Orleans is making tremendous preparations for increased business and according to figures presented by it's Chamber or commerce, will probably expend $25,- II, Ivt docks and other terminal facilities. Memphis has announced that $5O0,O0o will be expended on docks and equip ment for handling freight. Cairo, Ill.,, will spend $100,000; Greenville, Miss, $100,000 and small towns in Arkansas will expend at least $25,- 900 in docks. These are merely flrst figures based on a conservative esh- mate of increased business that will come to these towns. Pledges nave been made for more money as neces- sity demands.
 The Mississippi Valley Waterways association which is an outgroWth of the traffic revival movement, has compiled a formidable array of evi- dence.
 One 1,000-ton barge, association or ficers say, can carry as much frelgnt as fifty cars, and if each towboat con- voys three barges, the fleet as it en- ters New Orleans is equivalent to 150 cars which are thereby released for other service. If seven towboats each escorting three 'barges, are plac- ed in operation of September 1. as has been planned, it will be seen that the transportation by water will have released 1,O50 cars for other duties.
