QUICK SERVICE TO THE FRENCH
MARKET.

Now that the new electric car lines
have their schedule so arranged, put
ting the Third District ferry in easy
access for the people in Algiers, Nc
Donoghville and Gretna, there has
been already a marked improvement
in the traffic over this ferry. Hereto.
fore patrons of the French Market
were compelled to walk quite a dis.
lance in order to reach the French
Market, or to take the Canal Street
ferry instead and pay an extra nickel
to get to the French Market, which
made the time very long. At the pres
ent time, either the Pacific, Naval Sta
ton, or immigration Station line will
transfer you direct to the Third Dis
trict ferry, which puts you within two
squares of the famous French Mar
ke' This is quite an accommodation
to those who trade on the other sid,
of the river.

Elimination of the Fire Limits.

Elimination Of the Fire Limits.
The fire limits as laid down by the
Building Code in it's application to Al
giers was such handicap on a large
number of residents and property own
ers and quite unsuitable to the cir.
cumstances; it included a large area
now occupied by frame residences and
other buildings not in any way calling
for, or warranting costly, fireproof
Hconstruction The most Objectionable
feature of the code was the effect it
would have in case of a fire which
would destroy building or even dam
age it to the extent of 60 per cent of
it's value.
This effect would practically prevent
the repair or rebuilding of almost all
such buildings, for in a very large ma
jority of cases the cost o. a new, fire
proof building would be entirely too
high to permit of reasonable reve-
nue. being derived from the investment,
thereby condemning to vacancy, in
case of fire, any of the ground which
is now occupied by many cottages.
This matter was demonstrated by
our association to the Board OF APP
peals, who were impressed with the
injustice that it imposed and they
unanimously voted to recommend to
the City Council its entire elimination.
The FlSoded section in Rear of Naval

This was a most pitiable calamity
that befell our people, most of whom

Telegraph Office in Aleiers.

a telegraph Office in Algiers is an
indisputable necessity and our associ,
alton has been hard at work on this
matter for several months, using all
amicable means, with only promises of
an Office to show for our efforts.
Our grievances are such that We
thought it would be only a question of
asking for. For instance, if you de.
sired to send a telegram from Algiers
you are compelled to cross the river
and then go to the office of the com.
pany, the nearest of which is at the
corner of st. Lnarles and Gravier SITS.
On the other hand, should a telegram
be sent to a person living in Algiers,
which of course, would have to come
through the above named office, they
would then mail said message to the
address obtained and at least twelve
hours would be consumed before you
would have the pleasure of reading its
contents.

name some of the most important.
The New Orleans Naval Dock.
When notice was given about the
abandoning of the Naval Dock, we
most sincerely asserted our objection
to this move by having a committee
appointed to draw up resolutions con.
demning the recommendations of the
Secretary of the Navy on same. Mr.
Peter S. Lawton, of our association
with those of other organizations, ap
peared before the Naval Affairs Com
mittee at Washington and most siren.
uously presented reasons why the dock
should not be moved, and while before
this committee advantage was taken
of the opportunity of presenting a
strong appeal for a scheme of naval
defense of the mouth of the Mississippi
river, with the final result of a favor
fable recommendation of same by said
committee.
