Railroads Start Assessment Scraps Waterways Unity
A group of lawyers argued before the executive council about rates, insisting on a basis of 13.6 percent of net warning rather than 174 percent. A government report by Herbert Knox Smith highlights lack of practical unity in inland waterways, noting 6,800 miles of six foot depth river navigation and 2,000 miles of canals with varied depths and conditions that hinder interchanging equipment and proper trade share. The commission argues waterways offer great potential but carry far less of the nation’s trade, citing that about 4,500 miles of canals exist with over half abandoned after costly construction, causing declining canal traffic beyond short ship routes.
