1t is feared that the reluctance of
shippers to move coal on the Rhine in
the face of confiscation by the French
may result in a complete shutting off
of the domestic supply.
So far, one of the chief effects of the
occupation noted here has been the
whirlwind toboggan slide taken by the

raising of the Reichsbank bank dis
count rate from 10 per cent to IL. it
is pointed out that such a momentous
event as the outbreak of the world
war served to increase the rate only 1

He predicted a great future for

would be interfered with. Elimina-

Mr., Stohlman asserted that elimina-

feet Georgetown's growth as a COM
mercial center. The community is
favored by unusual transportation facil-
tiles, he explained, viz, canal, harbor
and railroad.
Mr.. Dennis of the Southern Trans
barges supplied coal to the Washing

they would be unable to get under
the bridge as proposed without a
draw On being questioned by Col.
Sheriff. as to the feasibility of re-
could. he replied that he would rath-
er give up the trade. Col. Sheriff.
remarked that if he held his trade
so lightly his protest shouldn't carry
much weight, anyway. Mr.. Dennis
explained that it would cost about
$4,000 to reconstruct barge.
Oil supply Affected
Mr.. Mcqueen, representing the gas
company, said that in addition to de-
pending on the harbor facilities for
coal, the company got it's oil from
ea-going tankers which would be
unable to dock were there no draw in
the bridge. Col. Sheriff. inquired if a
pipeline to the gas plant for convey
ing oil would solve the question. Mr..
Mcqueen thought IT might:
Mr.. Luckett stressed the point
that fifteen sea-going vessels docked
in Georgetown during the past nine
months.
Mr.. Stohlman interjected that the
future and not the present traffic
Sheriff. replied that, judged by past
statistics, traffic would decrease in
the future rather than increase.
Bridge or no bridge, the colonel said,
in his opinion traffic would decrease.
The loss to commercial interests by
elimination of the draw, he believes,
would be negligible.
At this point Mr.. Oliver presented
resolutions of theGeorgetown Citizens
Association opposing a drawless
bridge, supplementing the paper with
an oral protest.

thereby made less valuable.
