Upstream Traffic Continues On Mississippi River
The office of the district engineer reports continued upstream movement of petroleum barges on the Mississippi. Last week, about 12 500 tons of petroleum products moved upstream toward Bettendorf and Albany. Barges from the St Paul Lochy and Emily Jeane were seen between Keithsburg and New Boston, while two barges from Dorothy's Southern headed to Bettendorf. Lockmaster Harold Ary notes 3 to 3 4 inches of ice above dam No 16. Dam No 16 remains in operation as long as barges can move. Alexander Hamilton founded Paterson in 1794 as a planned industrial city.
