8rd. on the subject of water terminals
and barge transportation. Mr.
Frank C. Kugler, mayor and Mr.
Charles A. Flynn. Secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, will announce
the place of meeting.
Mr. Bornhard is regarded as prob
ably the most practical expert in
Che United States on the subject
of municipal water terminals and
economical barge transportation.
He Is a native of Holland and familiar
with treminals "and barge
transportation as it axists today In
Holland, Germany, and other countries
of Continental Europe, where
they hare developed barge transportation
to tha point of highest efficiency.
Mr. Bern hard has been instrumental
in the establishment of
a successful line of barges between
New Orleans and Tuscaloosa, Ala.,
on the Warrior river, which connects
with the fmmous coal mines'
.of Alabams. He has also established
a plant for the construction
of self-propelled bargee, which are
rogared as the highest type of
barge for Inland waters, both from
the point of carrying capacity, speed
safety and cheapness of operationOur
cltisene ' have* exhibited a
most commendable civic spirit In
providing for the purchase of an
adequate water front -for a municipal
terminal. Mr. Bernhard will
Inform as how to construct and
utilise this terminal with a view
of reaping the largest benefit and,
profit to onr community. s
I may say as a matter of information
that 1 have taken the liberty
