The gradual development of the system of our waterways, as well as the establishment of facilities for navigation, are indispensable both for our domestic traffic and particulary for the better disposal in foreign markets of our agricultural products. The due succession of steps to be taken in developing our waterways should be : improvement of the navigation conditions of the Tisza river ; canalisation of the Körös and Sió rivers ; construction of a navigation canal between the Danube and the Tisza ; and canalisation of the Sajó river. Further works are : construction of wharfs on the navigation ways with connections to highways and, if possible, to railways ; erection of storehouses in the emporiums. Furthermore the enlargement of the commercial and industrial harbour at Budapest (punt
