RIVER FACILITIES
ARE OVERLOOKED
SAYS HUMPHREYS
Possibility Of Increased Rail
Rates Makes Situation Bad
According to Member Of
Terminal Commission.

Memphis is facing a bad situation
owing TO possibility Of increased freight
rates and because shippers in this ter
rltory are not availing themselves of
liver river transportation facilities in suffi-
Gent numbers, according 70 Hugh Hum
phreysr chairman Of the foreign trade
committee OF the Chamber OF Commerce
ana member of the Memphis river ter
mtnal commission.
Just now the river rate, insofar as
me government barge lineOis concerned,
IS approximately so per cent Of the rail
rate, he says. Thus II with return of
railroads TO private owners and the
government continues 10 operate the
barge line, 1t Is likely the river rate
may be increased in proportion to rail
increases. However If shippers avail
themselves of the river transportation
opportunities the volume will be so
great that private capital unquestion-
ABLY VIII enter the river transportation
field. and there is no body empowered
TO make rates for private enterprises on
the river.
No one realizes how Cheap transpor-
tation is by water, If it has volume.
Mr.. Humphreys asserts, For example,
the sugar Products company recently
brought from New Orleans to Memphis
a two-b barge tow of 100000 gallons, or
approximately Alps tons, of molasses.
The cost of operating the boat is not
more than $500 per day. The time from
New Orleans to Memphis does not ex-
coed six days and the return trip may
be made in three days. Thus the cost
of transporting this cargo from New
Orleans to Memphis, supposlng the boat
returns to New Orleans empty. would
be about 90 cents per ton. On the next
trip it is proposed to bring twice as
much molaseses as on the first trip
Thus the cost of transporting this mate
rial would be just one-half as much,
or 321a cents per ton.
The river can transport, under pres
ent conditions, a bale of cotton from
Memphis to New Orleans for IS cents,
while the cost by rail is $3.50. The time
required for the trip is much less than
that required for the same shipment
by rail when consideration is given for
the delay in getting empty cars and
In setting up cars at the other end of
the trip.
Service by water Is good. Four days
from the day barge loaded with cotton
left Memphis the cargo was in the
hold of an ocean steamer ready to sail
from New Orleans.
1t is not generally known, but It is
a fact, that the interstate commerce
commission recently issued an order in
creasing freight rates at Memphis on
grounds that there is no river compe-
tition. That increase was to be-
come effective April /, but President
Markham of the Illinois Central rail-
road at request of the Memphis Cham
Der of Commerce, interGeded with the
interstate commerce commission and
asked that thq increased rate be held
in allegiance until Oct. l.
