Wood Dealers and Commentaries
EDITORS: As the wood dealers have had their say

Inspection Ordinance, please allow q Wood Con-
sumner to have his through the columns of your vaua

fraud rather to enable him to receive more wood
for the same money than he did before.
Now, in my case, this expectation mas not been
fulfilled.

heart of the city, and the nearest woodward is with

nance went into operation. got my wood at five
dollars per load, commonly called half cord, and
1t was usually delivered within couple of hours
after the order was given.
Since the establishment of inspection have been
obliged to pay the same dealer for the same kind
and quantity of wood five dollars and fifty cents per
load, and demonstrating with him on this I'D.
vance, he pleaded. first the cost of inspection
fifteen cents, and the extra distance he had to haul
his wood to get it measured before he could deliver
it to me. Now all the advantage have received
for this extra expense of fifty cents is the delivery Of
a printed Slip which tells me that my load OF wood
contains sixty feet don't know whether there was
that much in the load not, but do know that the
wood did not I'll any more space in my woodhouse

SHIP ISLAND CANAL CoMPANY.-Ata meet
Ing of the Board of Directors, Friday,
George F. Brott resigned the Presidency,
Cummins, A. Kearny and Jefferson T. Hall
resigned as Directors. The following gen.
tlemen were then elected to fill the va.
cancies IN the Board: Charles Baquie, Will
lis Gaylord, Horace E. Browne, Henry A.
Underwood, John J. Flanagan-the four
latter of New York,
At a subsequent meeting of the new Board
Horace E. Browne, of New York, was elected
President and L. Gagnet as Superintendent.
The newly elected president, on accepting
the position, statedn substance that, repre-
senting a constituency of capitalists here
and in New York, who were largely inter-
ested in railroad AND steamship enterprises
which are looking to New Orleans as
terminal point, they had been met, both by
European and Northern capitalists, by two
great objections to such Investments, viz:
the general accepted fallacy of the I'M
healthiness of New Orleans, and its COM
parative inaccessibility from the sea.
They were attracted 10 the projects con-
templated in the charter of your company
as the means of overcoming these objec-
tions, and after several months of investiga.
ton, embracing elaborate surveys by the
most eminent engineering talent of the
country, became satisfied Of the practicable.
ty of the scheme.
He deprecated the course pursued by the
retiring board in their law suits, and
thought the money so expended might have
been used to better advantage in perform
ing the work required to be done by the
charter, and promised his earnest efforts in
harmonizing the conflicting elements,
pledging the good faith of himself and as
sociates in carrying the work to a SUCCESS,
full completion.
He further spoke of the NANTES. advan-
tage to the city of NewsOneans, of the
Southern Pacific ana other railroad COM
panies now in process of organization, ra
dating from this city, and expressed the
hope that the city authorities and the people
would lend their cooperation to all these
works Of public improvement.
