Mississippi Valley Waterway Aims for St Louis to St Paul Barges
S J Roy secretary of the Mississippi Valley Waterway Association spoke in Quincy about urging government action to build barges and tugboats for a waterway from New Orleans to St Paul. If steel is government bought the cost is 3 cents a pound. private purchase runs higher. The line would operate initially St Louis to New Orleans then to St Paul, with funding easier on the lower river and slower on the upper. The project is distinct from a temporary government line St Louis to St Paul using 12 barges and 2 tugboats to ease coal and bulky freight congestion until rail capacity improves.

Pension Granted To One Fireman By Board
The Firemen's Pension Fund board considered three pension applications. John Hunsaker, in poor health since 1890, is likely unable to return to duty and will receive a $44 monthly pension once certified by Dr Otis Johnston, half of active duty pay. James OBrien's case was referred for interpretation, and A G Moshage's petition was rejected for leaving the department before the law took effect.
