Commerce Commission at Wash
ington and the state board han
ding such matters.
Berger said in his wire that he
was coming to Key West early
next week to confer with Smith
and to set up his local organiza-
ton to handle the freight deStin-
ed for this city.
Smith says he will need at
least nine men to set UP the To-.
cal organization. At least three
clerks will be required, besides
the freight handlers and the
warehouse men of the old Clyde
Mallory Docks, which will be the
terminal of the new barge line.
The service is to be started bv
using former government bargeS.
Each of the barges will carry
upwards of 200 tons of freight,
and is handled by tugs.
They are expected to use the
inside passage from Key West to
Miami, for the barges are of
shallow draft that will permit
them to use the intercoastal
canal and the Gulf of Mexico.
The rates to be charged by the
barge lines have not Ds.a an
nounced, but Smith says they
will probably be low enough to
meet competition. He says the
service will be much slower
than by truck and the rates will
be considerably below the regu-
lar level.
