Inland barge line aims for November river trip
John H. Bernard of New Orleans reports to Secretary Scheidker that the Inland Navigation company plans a barge operated line ready by November. The first barge would sail New Orleans to St. Paul absorbing terminal, loading, rental, and insurance charges at about 74 percent of rail rates, linking gulf markets with the south and southwest. Bernard, well known to Hannibal shippers, has visited river towns to secure patronage and publicize a direct river outlet. The plan emerged from L B Boswell’s Quincy Freight bureau and Upper Mississippi River Improvement meetings. A barge may appear in Hannibal by mid next month for the association convention, though specifics remain unsettled.
