W T Gardner of the Eastern Shore Produce Exchange argues the Chesapeake Bay boat lines can be profitable under proper management. He cites higher rates, obsolete ships, and reduced schedules as causes for unprofitability and pests the idea that the lines should be discontinued. Gardner asserts reorganization, fairer rates, and updated equipment could raise traffic 25 to 50 percent and save up to 1600000 yearly while preserving needed service.
