EASTMAN URGES
REGULATION OF
U. S. SHIPPING
Unhealthy Condition Of
Coastal, Lake Lines
Is DepIored.
By United Press


JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 49,
Deploring the unhealthy condition"
of American coastal, lake and inland
steamboat lines, Joseph B. Eastman,
rail co-ordinator, today urged that
they be subjected for their own good
to the same regulation which the
railroads receive from the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Speaking before the Association
of Marine Terminal Operators, Mr..
Eastman reminded his listeners that
such bill now is pending in the
Senate and said he hoped it would
pass.
Conditions within the industry
are not healthy" he said. Com
mon carriage by water along the
coasts, on the Great Lakes, and on
the inland waterways is not now
and for a long time has not been
an attractive field for private cap
ital.
The government has had to sup
ply most of the funds in one way
or another. Most of the boats are
old or we'll along in years, and the
operators generally are dissatisfied
with the conditions that prevail"
He said that strife between the
railroads and the water lines is be-
coming increasingly acute and that
he believed the government would
have to take a hand in the inter-
ests of fair play in competition"

Capital Expenditures Increase Sc
Per Cent Over 1885.

Times Special
NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-Construc-
ton budgets of the power industry
for the current year are expected to
total $371 ,557774, the Electrical
World announced today. This is an
increase of $134,094,287 over capital
expenditures of 1921, 463, 487 for 1895,
or an increase of Sc per cent.
The increase is attributed to the
need of approximately 100000 kilo :
watts in added capacity to carry the
growth of load, and to the extern
sion of service lines into rural areas.
In 1929 the industry's capital ex-
penditure totaled 1886, 100000.
The 1886 budget will probably be
spent as follows: $118,OO0,OOO for
generating capacity, 5000, 100000 on
distribution systems and sub-sta-
lions, $23,00000O on transmission
lines and $21,0O0,000 for miscellane-
GUS equipment. Approximately $1O1,-
100000 is to go into system main
tenance, which last year ran under
$92, 100000, the report stated.

Times Special
NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-Including
imports entered into consumption,
and tax-paid alcohol (not all of
which was used for beverage pur-
poses), total liquor consumption IN
1885 slightly exceeded 100000
gallons, Standard Statistics Co. re-.
ported today.
For the states in which sale of
distilled spirits was legal at the close
of the year Excluding Texas, which
passed its control laws in Novem-
beD, per capita consumption was
90 gallon. The gain over the COM
parable figure of .76 gallon for 1884
still well below theoh-onmg-A Hsd
is substantiated but the average is
still well below the standard of ITO
gallons per capita.
In part, the rise in consumption
was due to the fact that 10 states
were added to the wet column dur
ing the year, increasing the number
in which liquor sales are legal to 40.
However, the resultant gain over 1884
in the aggregate population of wet
territory was only 18 per cent.
