IA.CHLAN Macleay, secretary of the

 waterways as a part of that system. 



Mr. Macleay has appeared several 

 times during the past year on I. A. A. 

 radio programs from Station WJJD,

 formed and most able speakers in the 

 country on the subject of waterways.

 Washington. He was publicist, speak- 

 er, and Executive Commissioner of 

 the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, 

 Seattle, 1908-1909.

 merce in Syracuse, 

 New York. Three 

 years later when 

 the United States 

 entered the World ' 

 War Macleay en- 

 tered the service 

 where he became a 

 captain. From 1912 

 to 1920 he was a 

 member of the ex- 

 ecutive committee 

 of the New York 

 State Waterways 

 Association, and in 

 1922 he became 

 secretary of the 

 Mississippi Valley 

 Association. 



Macleay has 

 made a life study 

 of inland waterways 

 economics and is

 provement, and use 

 for navigation pur-
