COAST CITIES, WAKE UP!
Under this caption the Baltimore '
. American calls attention to the great
alue of inland waterways, and re
fers to the waterways convention to
be held here as follows:
'The magnificent conception of a
navigable inland! route extending
-along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts
from Boston to Galveston, is now in
fair shape to be pushed to realiza
tion. The last Congress provided for
a survey of all that portion of the
contemplated route which had not
previously been surveyed under the
United States Government direction.
The survey work is now. in progress,
and Teports of the various survey
commissions will probably be sub
mitted at the assembling of Congres
in regular session. But the time for
promotive efforts is not at an end
it is only begun.
'Congressman Moore, the president
of the Atlantic Deeper "Waterways
Association, has sent out a stirring
appeal, which should arouse commer
cial organizations all along the Atlan
tic slope to activity. He contrasts the
active energy which is being demon
strated in development schemes in
the West with the apparent indiffer
ence which is being manifested in
Eastern cities. In this connection he
declares:
'The whole country is aroused upon
the waterways problem as it never
has been before. Paradoxical as it
