Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inland waterways system of the United States as it exists today has a number of problems associated with near-capacity traffic conditions. In many places on the Mississippi, Ohio, and Missouri Rivers and their navigable tributaries, there are serious impediments to the free flow of waterborne commerce. This study was conducted to determine the potential for more efficient utilization of existing inland waterways resources and facilities as a possible alternative to heavy investment in major construction. The study was based on distribution of a questionnaire, meetings and discussions with the Civil Works Task Group for Inland Waterways Systems Analysis, and visits to Corps of Engineers Civil Works offices and river sites by the author. The inland waterways system is an intimate interweaving of three significant subsystems: the physical waterway, the towing industry, and commodities. These subsystems and their interrelations are discussed in detail herein. It was determined that there are a number of areas of potential for improvement in the inland waterways system. These areas involve such items as changes in operating procedures of the locks, revisions of the operating rules for towboats approaching and using locks, staffing considerations, additional assistance at heavily trafficked locks, and other such factors.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Preliminary Report of the United States National Waterways Commission, 1910 The National Waterways Commission, composed of twelve members of the Senate and House of Representatives, was created by act of Congress Of March 3, 1909. The duty imposed upon it by statute was to investigate questions pertaining to water transportation and the improvement Of waterways, and to make recommendations to Congress. The commission has had under consideration the topics assigned to it, and has held numerous meetings, both in the United States and Europe. Seven 'of the twelve members took a somewhat ex tended tour for the examination of European waterways in the months from August to October last. In addition, a majority of the members of the commission examined the Mississippi River from St. Paul to New Orleans in November, 1909, and some of them also, during the same month, inspected the Missouri River from Kansas City to its mouth, and the Illinois River from its lower portion up to the head of navigation. It may be added that the commis sion includes in its membership Senators or Representatives who at different times during the last ten years have examined nearly all of the waterways Of the United States. Consequently its mem bers are enabled to bring to the consideration of the problem a very considerable familiarity with the waterways both of the United States and of Europe as well. The commission has been aided in the course of its investigations by Officials detailed from the War and Navy departments, and has Obtained the assistance Of other experts in waterway transportation. In the framing of this report, especial aid has been rendered by rear-admiral C. S. Sperry, Of the Navy Department; Col. W. H. Bixby, and Maj. F. A. Mahan, retired, of the Corps of Engineers, U. S. Army; and also by Prof. Frank H. Dixon, Of Dartmouth College, and Mr. E. O. Merchant, Of' Columbia University. Numerous inquiries have been sent to com mercial bodies and waterway improvement associations, most of which have met with a cordial response. The officials Of European countries, in which waterway systems have been developed, and our consuls abroad, have rendered generous aid in the furnishing of material and in affording suggestions.
