new ORLEANS
ST. RESIDENTS
Are SHUT in

How to get into Main street without
climbing a concrete wall or going
down to the Mississippi Central freight
depot and up Mobile street is the
ton of New Orleans street residents
at present, and which, by the wayA
seems not so easy Of solution.
The fact appears, however, that one
or the other of those courses must
be pursued in order to attain this end,
and choice between the two is the
only alternative at present.
The fact of the business is that Mr..
D. E. McInnis has had erected a con-
crete wall across the street, where it
intersects Main, closing the thorough
fare entirely from all traffic, either
by foot or vehicle so far as going
into the passing out of Main street is
concerned.
New Orleans street is one of the
most populous and desirable Of the
close-in residence streets, and the
residents in this vicinity were doubt.
less under the impression that it was
a public thoroughfare, having its be-
ginning at first avenue and intersect-
ing Main street near the court house,
many of them having erected hand
some residences and beautified their
grounds In a manner betting their
surrounding.
It appears now that Mr.. Mclnnis
claims ownership of the strip OF
ground adjoining his residence on
