Three Terminal Applications Filed with War Dept for Illinois River
Three new terminal applications for grain handling on the Illinois River were filed with the War Department in the past week. Two terminals would transfer grain from rail or truck to river barges, one near Marseilles and another within sixty miles of Chicago. A third, from Cimco Improvement of Springfield, would connect with C. and I. M. tracks at Havana. Also, grain loading terminals at Ottawa and Peru were completed recently, with a grain handling terminal projected at Peoria. Two new towboats appeared in Peoria harbor, the William T. Warner built at Memphis and chartered by Federal Barge Line for Ottawa to Chicago, and the Tom Sawyer, the line’s newest twin screw diesel-powered craft, slated for St. Louis, Peoria, and Ottawa operations along with the towboat Gen. Ashurn.
