WAY COMPANY

Have removed their Office to the commodious
ground floor of the building No. 1863 Common
street, formerly occupied by the New Orleans
| daslight Company.
In making this announcement they desire to
express their thanks to those of their fellow
citizens who have thus far extended their aid
| TO this great enterprise. while again appealing
| to the entire community to promptly come for
ward and subscribe in accordance with their
| means. In order to enable the directory to push
| with renewed vigor the work already SO far ac-
| complished to completion.
Every facility will be given. on application ut
the Office to impart tho information required to
convince every ono that the success Of the road
| is assured as soon as the sum Of s675,oO0 Is
| reached, either In subscriptions to the first
/ mortgage bonds or to the stock Of the company.
In order to place their securities within reach
| Of all classes of our people. the company have
issued scrip limited In amount TO $50 900. and
| made receivable either for stock when presented
In sums Of 300. or for freight or passage on
completion of the road. This scrip is divided
into notes of $50. 800 $40 and g. transferable by
bearer, thus enabling all to aid this immeasur-
ably important work the success of which will
| largely rebound TO the interests of every man,
woman and child in this city.
With regard 10 the first mortgage bonds, no
one can doubt their being first class invest
ment apart from the collateral advantages
which will be derived by the residents of this
| city and that they will be SO regarded by our
| moneyed institutions the company refer TO q
| recommendation made q short time since by
the presidents of nearly all our banks and in
surance companies of the second mortgage
per cent bonds of the company, when such az
issue was contemplated.
TO show the confidence felt by these institu-
tons in the proposed road, their officers recon-
/ mend the second mortgage bonds Of the New
Orleans Pacific Railway Company as u first
class per cent per annum interest paying
investment" aud say they will be received by
| their several institutions as security for loans
with, as much readiness rs any other per
cent security of the State of Louisiana: they I'M
hesitatingly commend these bonds for invest
ment"
With this inducement supplemented by the
| assurances that the company can obtain all else
| necessary TO place tho entire road in working
order when this seemingly small sum shall
have been provided for, and further, that in
| stead of second mortgage. first mortgage per

proper communication with the almost mex

There is In this city a salvage corps, sup
ported by the Board of Underwriters, whose
duty 1t Is to attend all fires, and, where posi-
bic, to attack and subdue them while yet III
an incipient stage, but whose more especial
calling Is to save from destruction or damage
all movable property, OF, where there Is pot
time for removal, TO protect the same from
water damage by covering 1t with tarpaulins,
In all cases where the fire Is of such magn-
tude as to defy their efforts. This organiza-
ton is unuuestionably Of great value to the
community ut large, consisting as 1t does OF q
corps Of trained and experienced tire-fghters,
through whose well directed efforts q large
amount of personal property Is annually
saved from destruction.
One object of this reference to the subject
is to call attention to the fact that as the said
salvage corps Ia maintained and supported
by the Board Of Underwriters, the final pay
ment for their services really comes from tho
pockets Of the assured for unquestionably
the expense Of that organization enters into
the matter of determining the rates at which
insurance can be sold, just as does any other
Item Of expense. We would also mention the
further fact that much of the property thus
saved every year Is totally unprotected by
insurance. and therefore bears no part in
sharing the expense Of the maintenance of
the organization to which ii is indebted for its
preservation.
The further object we have In view Is to
suggest that the Board Of Underwriters be
authorized TO levy upon all property 50 saved
o fair and equitable assessment, and to collect
the same by legal measures Ii necessary, as
contribution towards the support of the corps
through whose efforts that property was
saved from destruction. OF the justice of
such an assessment there can be no question.
for while 1t would undoubtedly be wrong for
the corps TO neglect the salvage of uninsured
property, 1t is clearly equally unjust that the
prudent man should be made to pay for the
carelessness of his neighbor, or, to put 1t an
other way, that the careless man should get
something for nothing at the expense of his
neighbof. Let insurance men think of 1t: de-
mand 1t; Insist upon It,
