The whole controversy then was gone over bu, still no way out of the tangle wat found. Carrying his efforts . ster further, MT.

cy of the towboat will result from the tests.
 The boat has been named for the late John B. Battle, who was born and reared in the vicinity of Tus- caloosa and who spent the greater part of his life here. He was asso- ciated with the United States en- gineering office in Tuscaloosa for more than 20 years and had charge of the construction of several of the locks on the Warrior river. The last of these was Lock No. IT, which cost more than s3,000,000. Mir. Battle was transferred to Mobile several years ago and placed in charge of all river work under the United States district engineers office at that place. In this capacity he served until his death.
 The Battle" is 1l9 feet in length. including the wheel, and 23 feet in width. The quarters on the boat are comfortable and compact. The Bat tie Is intended entirely for use as a towboat, and her operation will be studied at all times in order that government engineers may decide | whether or not the new type of boat Is the most economical type and whether or not future towboats con- structed for the engineering depart ment will be of this same type.
