CHANGE DUE TO FLOOD.
Railroads Permitted to Employ
Water Route for Freight.

Holding that food conditions in the
lower Mississippi Valley warranted
the step, the Interstate Commerce
Commission yesterday gave permis-
sion to the Texas & New Orleans Rail
road to route freight from New Or
leans by water to Galveston, Houston
and other Texas points. The road will
be allowed to disregard shippers in
structOns for land conveyance of
freight and to turn over such ship
ments as it receives to boats for ocean
movement until such time as its
tracks are again available for use.
Orders of the commission specifical-
~ gave the road permission to put
the water route into service as an al
tentative to the usual overland ship
ment. BY an order issued several
weeks ago, when the flood on the
Mississippi became serious. all rail-
roads concerned or affected were au
thorized by the commission to disre-
gard the usual routing for inland
freight and to move the shipments
at will around the flooded area. The
order in the Texas & New Orleans
case allows the road to take railroad
shipments completely off railroad rails
for the same purpose.
