摘要: 1.Two new fully integrated, highspeed barge tows, each capable of handling as much cargo as a 184-car freight train, have been placed in service moving molten sulphur up the Mississippi River to terminals serving chemical plants in the Chicago area and upper Ohio valley. Designed and built by Dravo Corp., Pittsburgh, both tows are operated by Canal Barge Co., New Orleans. Each consists of four heated tank barges and a 4,320-hp towing vessel. The boats, the recently christened sister vessels Eugenie P. Jones and Susan Lane, are modifications of the Dravo 3200-class, stock-built towboat. 2. The Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners has passed a resolution urging enactment of federal legislation requiring that 75% of all Navy work be done in privately owned yards. The resolution stated that at present five times as many Navy ships are repaired in Navy yards as opposed to private shipyards.
