MUCH REPAIR WORK NEEDED,
CITY ENGINEER REPORTS.

Samuel E. Redfern, commissioner Of
immigration, called upon Mayor Behr-
man last week to discuss the matter
of repairs to Newton street, leading to
the immigration station. He said that
he hoped to open the station in about
a month. The Mayor exhibited to Mr..
Redfern a statement, prepared by City
Engineer Hardee for Commissioner La
faye, as to repairs that are necessary
to certain streets in Algiers and the
two viaducts. The report states that
Hermosa street from the end of the
asphalt to Magellen street, which was
surfaced with gravel by the city some
time ago, has holes that need filling
with cinders or shells. When the
street was surfaced it was supposed
that it was done to the parish line but
it was afterwards found that the par
ish line between Orleans and Jefferson
is 400 feet beyond. This stretch of 40C
feet should be surfaced with shells oil
cinders, and will cost about SIS.
The report states that the decking
of the Newton street viaduct was re
Gently repaired by the Algiers ant
Gretna Railway Company, but the re
pairs are not satisfactory, as the planl
used were too thin and too short. The
downriver approach to the viaduct i:
reported in bad condition and needing
attention.
Newton street from the viaduct tt
General Meyer avenue requires to b.
surfaced with shells or cinders, which
would cost about 800.
Behrman avenue, General Meyer ant
General Merrell, formerly surfaced
with shells by the United States Gov
eminent, need repairs, which woul'
cost about $3.50.
1t is reported the Patterson stree
viaduct is in need of repairs to tn
decking and that the Southern Pacifi
should give it attention.
The report further states that tn
forces of the Municipal Repair Plan
are too busy preparing streets for tn
Carnival to be available for othe
work for several weeks to come.

RECORDER GoFF TO SERVE IN

WRECKING STREET CARS

There has been an unusual amount
of trouble during the last two months
on the Algiers Railway and the New
Orleans & Western lines with obstruc-
tions on the tracks, which in most
cases are placed there by boys. Prac-
tically all of this trouble is expert
enced in McDonoghville and Gretna
and on the New Orleans & Western
lines between Gretna and Amesville.
On Wednesday night, the 22nd inst,
there was an angle bar placed on the
rail above Gretna, evidently with ma
licious intent and for the purpose of
derailing the cars. On the 23rd, beer
keg was placed in the center of the
track between the ties near the cross
ing of the Grand Isle railroad, anL car
No. was derailed, causing a continued
interruption to traffic for about three
hours.
There is little doubt but what all of
this mischief is done by boys who per-
sist in stealing rides on the cars, and
when the trainmen put them off the
cars, they Immediately retaliate by
placing some obstruction on the track
or running up behind the cars and
pulling the TROLLEY off, and other ma
liciousness, which should be stopped
| by the notice authorities.
Those who use the Grand Isle train
know to what extent these boys are a
nuisance to the company and public.
On Sunday night, especially, when
there are baskets and satchels to car
~, they crowd the platform of the
trains so as to interfere with passen-
gers.
The practice of jumping on and off
trains is a dangerous practice and
should one of these boys be injured by
falling under the wheels, their parents
would lose no time in bringing suit
against the company which is at pres
ent trying to protect these youngsters
1t is the duty of any of our citizens
and justice to the parents of these
boys to inform the police as to the
names of the youngsters. Putting a
stop TO a dangerous practise like this
is better than lawsuits and accidents.

THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC AND LA.
FAYETTE.

Many of our natives were startled a
few days ago by a newspaper article,
the gist of which was that the city Of
ficials at Lafayette had incurred the
displeasure of the railroad company,
or vice versa, and that the Southern
Pacific Co, in retaliation, would pull
up stakes and come back home. The
railroad companies were never built
on the retaliation plan, nor is spite
work the foundation for success. If
the Southern Pacific moves back to
Algiers what was taken away from it
some time ago, there can be but one
reason assigned for this movement,
and that is:-Greater facilities at a
lesser cost.
The clerks who were moved to La,
fayette some time ago were transfer.
red because the company could save
money by this move. Many of their
cars were repaired at Lafayette and
in the West because it was to the ad
vantage of the company to do so, and
whenever conditions so shape them
selves that Algiers will hold out a
greater advantage than any other
point, just that soon may We expect
the Southern Pacific to pull VI
stakes" and come back again to old

able to look upon this new report Of
