signed by Captain Harry Hodgson,
chief consul of Louisiana division OF
the l.. A. W., has been sent to every
member in the league, calling atten-
ton to the fact that there will be a
eral meeting of the league next Satur-
day night, December 8.
At the coming meeting the condi-
ton of the streets of New Orleans

Hodgson's vice consuls have been
hard at work for the past two weeks
preparing their reports of the condi-
ton of the streets in every ward in
the city, including Algiers. In these
reports it will be shown just what
streets are fit for bicycles or vehicles
and the city authorities will not hen
be able to spring the excuse that they
were in the dark as to the real cOndi-
ton of affairs. The reports are a
preliminary Of the good roads mass
meeting, which will be called in the
near future. They will form the
foundations of this meeting and by
that time the public will be educated
up to the necessity of good roads and
will heartily cooperate with the
