The committee in charge of the mail
collection matter will call upon the
new postmaster and request him to
have the mail collected at night at a
stated time instead of as at present
being collected, some weeks at 1880
p. m. and other weeks at 8 p. m. The
committee will endeavor to have a
mail box placed at the terminus of the
Algiers and Gretna car line at the fer
ry house, a spot where more persons
pass during the twenty-four hours than
any other in the town, and an effort
will also be made to have a mail box

The matter of securing a telegraph
office will be taken up by a commit
tee to be appointed for that purpose,
and it was stated that there seems
at present to be an excellent chance
OF securing such an office, and it be-
hooved the association to get busy at
once.
The attention of the Dock Board will
be called to the fact that in paving that
section of the levee adjacent to the
concrete walk leading from the Canal
street ferry house to the Louisville and
Nashville depot, no provision was
made to take care of the flow of wa
ter, and in rainy weather the entire
section of the levee drains onto this
walk, at times inundating it several
inches, and as there is no other way
for the people of Algiers to reach the
ferry they are forced to wade through
this water for the distance of about
TWO city blocks. 1t was also declared
necessary for the convenience of the
people of Algiers that an arc light be
placed at the Belt Railroad crossing,
and this walk, and at the new road
day made by the Dock Board through
this walk.
T.
IL was decided to devise a manner of

Gentlemen-Your letter of Septem
Der 10, addressed to the Louisiana Rail
road Commission, has been referred
10 me, and in reply l wish to say that
in January, 1906, the Railroad Commits
sion of Louisiana adopted an order
requiring the Western Union Tele
graph Company to establish and open
a separate telegraph office in Algiers
within thirty days from the date of the
order. The Western Union Telegraph
Company contested this order in the
United States courts. In the mean.
time, while this case was.pending, the
Supreme Court of the State of Louisi
ana, decided another case, in which the

was the plaintiff, and the Railroad
Commission the defendant, in which
the court held that the commission had
no jurisdiction over the service of the
telegraph company; therefore, the or
der requiring the Western Union Tele,
graph Company to establish and open
separate office in Algiers was void.
Subsequently, however, on February
q, 1908, the Railroad Commission in
stituted proceedings against the West
ern Union Telegraph Company for hav-
ing violated the order above referred
to, and, after an investigation decided
that the suit in the State court settled
the question of jurisdiction, and there
fore, dismissed the proceedings gainst
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany. There was and has been no fur.
Their action taken by the commission
to have a separate telegraph office es
tablished in Algiers.
The Legislature, by Act No. 1919 of
1908, conferred upon the commission
the power to compel telegraph COM
panies to establish telegraph offices on
all existing lines where the same were
reasonably necessary and convenient,
so that now, as the law stands, the
commission has power to require tele-
graph companies to establish telegraph

sonably necessary.

that the Woodmen of the World rank,

A. B. Booth, one of the nestors of the
order in this section, made a strong
address, telling what woodcraft stands
for, what it has accomplished, not only
in certain sections, but all over the
country. He praised the camp for
choosing the name of the head of the
entire order, who had endeared himself
to every one by his devoted service to
the fraternity.
Governor Sanders were unable to be
present, and he expressed the regret
through one of the committeeman. He
had a strenuous day Saturday, and he
was not feeling well enough to attend

There were games of all Sorts and a
vaudeville programme, after which
dancing was enjoyed.
