War on rum runners shifts to southeast
U S Treasury enforcement chief L C Andrews reports a rising tide of liquor smuggling into the southeast coast from the Bahamas. Savannah to Florida coastline is crowded with inlets and warehouses hold millions of quarts bound for Atlanta and other southern cities. Coast guard efforts are stretched thin as smugglers exploit gaps with small boats and scarce patrols. A new fleet of high speed motor boats, capable of 50 miles an hour, is proposed to reinforce the effort across regions including Great Lakes and New England.
