WATER ROUTES
TO AID RAILS
Government Uses Shipping
Facilities to, Handle
Transportation.

Because of increasing freight cons
gestion. with no relief in sight unS
til more railroad rolling stock can
be built, the government Is taking
steps to develop to the fullest ex-
tent the facilities II now has for
handling transportation by water.
The old steamboat whistle is com.
ing back.
This enterprise is expected par
TALLY to Offset the costs Of ins
creased freight rates on railroads.
Not only will the territories ira
versed by navigable rivers and
small lakes benefit, but sections de-
pendent wholly on rail Transports
tion will be helped. Every ton OF
freight carried by water will re-
lease a ton of car space for inland
points.
During the war the Railroad ADJ
ministration utilized finland water-
ways as an adjunct of rail trans
portation. A large amount OF
floating equipment was secured
barges particularly. The govern
ment still has this equipment ON
it's hands.
The War Department. which fof
nearly a century has had charge
OF the development Of navigable
rivers and harbors, will use this
equipment to give service on the
two most important of our interiof
waterway routes-the Mississippi
River and the New York Barge
Canal.
For these operations during thu
summer of 1920 the War Depart
ment has a total of 165 barges and
tow boats, aggregating a cargo
capacity of 141,450 tons.
