Articla Apsoariag OrlgisaUr la 1M7 1 i Fits Present Coat-Uaiia, The following letter oa trsasporta tioa problems of that time was writtea by Mr. Wflliara Moacarc for-the liana factor re Beeord daring March 1907. Aa it fits eoaditioas ao well bow that the country, and particularly the South, is taming agaia to water traaspjrtatioa, Mr. Moneurc submitted it ta tie Haws aad Observer for republication. ' , 4rlnsprtatloa la The laan""o The present outlook with reference to transportstion in the South appears aa if the railroads would be anabla to meet the demands for soma time to coma and soma other means Of trans portation would bo aesded to relieve tho situation. : It bas only sera a few years ago that a prominent railroad' official tall la' a speech "that there was aot bnslatea eaongh ia tho wkolo country, if distributed among all, the railroads, to make them par area a moderate return upon which they could live." The increase) la bnsiaeas fortbo railroads shows a remarkable develop ment id all lines of business ia tho last few years sever experienced be fore in the history ot our country. Ia tho early thirties, whta railroad build ing commenced, the majority of tho people wero loath to give np tho slow sad tedious water transportation, and it was years before the railroads proved their superiority over the water trans portation of( that, time. Evea stage coaches then 'competed successfully with railroads that -are soma of tho most important of the present time. As the building and improvements of rail roads increased the traffic left the Southern seaport towns snd rivers, and tho tonne at tho heads of river naviga tion, along with the seaport towns, lost their precedence, a number of those towns decreased in population, nnd most of tho railroads to "-these towns had hardly enough business to main tain them. The traffic of tho South then going to trunk linesonarallel to tho coast and capital being almost entirely given to building up the parallel coast uses, for years railroad stocks and bonds seemed to be the investment of the age, with the buildiug of railroads beyond the needs of the country, necessitating numbers of roads going into the hands of receivers. Competition forcing roads to hsul freights long distances for the sams rates as shorter lines aad operat ing through passenger trains on. the Cheapest passenger rates with the most expensive service, losing money from such operations, while money could have been made with light, inexpensive local passenger trains nting high local rates and leaving the freights for the shorter lines. We are now facing s situation where there is unparalleled prosperity and development of business following a period of depression so close that the railroads have not been able to meet the demands for transportation, and it appears possibls that relief can be' had by using water transportation in con nection with the railroads. The balk of tho business of the Boutht seems to bo pushing forward mostly oa iheso paral lel lines to the coast, sad If this traffic eould be turned to coastwise steamships and delivered to tho different Southern seaport twwts and distributed by tho railroads to adjacent territory to each seapwri.the long hsul would be on the cheaper water rates aad tho shorter haul on tho higher railroad rates. This' Ill.lll-vv'Jllb'J.lll.'j -rrj ii'iiiik m a ai i;n HoathaNIa rDirhe ajoay, SJas I siaraia. aaoewe rswsSi AS SiaaSli llrWeEMICO., M Betkesa It, would enable the reads to nso their equipment sasrs effectively, aad the distribution of freight from a aamber of seaports would relieve tho proseat pressors the lines that aaadlo the balk of tho husiaeeo, avoiding a sum bar of yards aad traasfer poiata which are causing delays and damage to freights. With the freight beiag aaadied from theos various Southera seaports a great deal won Id bo asadlod over roads that for anilos pose ever a country where tho toaasgs ot tho traiaa eaa bo pack mere tbaa tho roads which handle Skoct ot tho 8onthra freights sow, oa aceejuit of low grades aad light carves. The Southera seaport towai weald p reaper at well as tho coast soe tioaa.' Tho timo has ooms whoa sonts radical change should bo made, and the combination of water aad railroad transportation seems to premiss relief. Tho lalaad waterway oa tho coast ot North Carolina is a grand stop, ia tho right diroetlos.
