Menace to rivers in two proposed measures
Kansas City Jan 21 AP two possible dangers to inland river transportation were outlined by Maj. General T G Ashburn chair of the Inland Waterways Corporation. One proposal would place river construction under a new public works board and another would shift inland waterway rate setting from the Interstate Commerce Commission to the United States Shipping Board. Ashburn said army engineers have studied river and waterways problems and succeed in river control work and urged ICC keep inland navigation rates aligned with rail rates. He warned moving water rates to the Shipping Board would be foolish and hinder progress.
