Lake Pontchartrain and the Exposition

/ Just as New Orleans is the logical city,
the shore of Lake Pontchartrain Is the
logical location, for the site OF the Worlds
Panama Exposition. 1t is planned to give
the exposition company the right to ex-
propriate property; therefore, there need
be no worry concerning the terms under
which a site will be secured.
OF all the lakeshore, the two mile
stretch between West End and Spanish
Fort is the most convenient to the city,
and, when the Orleans Drainage Canal
shall have been eliminated, offers the
the greatest possibilities in the way of
permanent public parkway improve
ments.
Should this site be selected, the expo
sition company would most probably
plan the construction Of permanent sea
wall some two thousand feet out from
the present shoreine, fill in behind this,
leaving protected harbors, lagoons, etc.,
thus creating an ideal exposition site
two thousand feet wide and two miles
long. In that event, plan of construc-
ton, contemplating the erection of a
series of permanent buildings that will
stand after the grounds shall have been
cleared of the exposition debris, would
give New Orleans the finest waterside
public resort on the earth, and redeem
Lake Pontchartrain from the neglect
that has marked it's treatment through
the generations.
The ownership of the land under the
waters OF Lake Pontchartrain has never
been determined. AS matters stand, the
Louisiana Legislature is not competent
to grant title; but, were the City OF
New Orleans to ask title for permanent
public use to the frontage under discus
sion, the Legislature Of Louisiana and
the Congress of the United States could
and would, settle the matter of owner.
ship for all time to come.
By comparison, such development a
| is now possible at West End and Spanish
Fort would appear as pigmy efforts
along side of the permanent parkway
improvements that might result from the
use of this location as an exposition site
With such a park on the lakeshore
every foot of land lying between the pros
emit shoreine and City Park would be
come immensely valuable tor residential
purposes; Bayou st. John. which ha'
lost much Of it's commercial usefulness
would be turned to account by pleasure
craft; the drainage Of all of the laksshor'
between Manchac and Lake Borgn'
would follow in short order, and the day
of the swamp mosquito would come Il
an end in so far as New Orleans is con
cerned.
i But one of the first matters that wtl
have to be taken up and dealt with per
m.nently and efficiently is that of drain
age from the city, now flowing into LAX
Pontchartrain. There was time not 81
many years ago when the best fishing t.
be found on the coast OF Lake Pontchar
train was to be had between West Enc
and Spanish Fort. The Orleans Drainag'
Canal has driven it all away, and now nj
self respecting fish visits there excep
during q heavy blow from the east. wher
the waters Of the Gulf drive the drain
age Of the city back into the canal. A
all other times the shore waters in tn
locality in question are filthy.

WATERBURY NEEDS MONEY.
Necessary to Negotiate Loans of al
 Least S2oo,ooo.

That the city of Waterbury has a balance of only S4.000 on hand in the city depository, the Manufacturers Ma tionaI bank with immediate orders outstanding of sS0,000, and that it will be necessary to negotiate loans of at least $2OO, ,000 before the first of May, were the rather sensational develop ments at the first meeting of the new board of finance. says the Republican. A loan of $1O0.0 is necessary at once and the commissioners will probably borrow that amount of money from one of the local banks.
 While it is not unusual for the city to be short of funds. it was made known at the meeting that the city is S10O,000 poorer than it was at this time last year. In order to meet the orders for sS0,0O0. bids for a loan of $1O0,000 until May 23 will be requested from the banks this morning and these sealed bids will be opened and the loan au- thorized at the adjourned meeting this afternoon at I o'clock. Of the $S0.O00 $31 000 is for the state tax and $11, ,000 for the state commutat ton tax.
