Hon. |. d. Moore, City Aattorney, City
Hall, City:
Dear Sir-Our attention ha been
called to a recent act of the Legisla
ture relative to the free transportation
of school children over the different
ferries and bridges throughout the
State of Louisiana. This law was
passed during the session of 1914 and
Section No. 10 of this act reads as fol-
lows:
Section 10. The free right of pas
sage or conveyance over all public
ferries, bridges and roads which are
rented out by the State, parish or
municipality, or over which the State
or parish, or municipality, exercises
any control, or for which license is
paid or toll exacted, be and is hereby
granted to all children attending the
public schools; and no tolls or fees
shall be demanded or exacted from
said children by the keepers or at
PENDANTS of said ferries, bridges or
roads in their passage to and from
school between the hours of Z o'clock
a. m. and 8 o'clock a. m. and 4 o'clock
p. m. and 6 o'clock p. M; provided
that on Sundays and holidays no chill
dren shall have the right to cross said
such ferries, bridges, or roads. on
terms different from those of any or
binary passenger. The provision of
the foregoing section SHALL APPLY
TO THE PARISH OF ORLEANS as
well as other parts of the State.
We realize that this law, like other
laws, cannot be made retroactive and
would not effect the
charges now made by the Southern
and Ferry Company for
the passage of school children be-
tween Canal street and Morgan street.
This law however, specifically
states that free passage is hereby
granted to all school children. Does
his not make New Orleans amenable
70 the law? In other words, should
not the city of New Orleans provide
rec transportation for the school chill
iren on the Canal street ferry?
Would you be good enough to give
is your opinion regarding the appii. |
alton OF this law as regards the
lhlrd District ferry, which is now |
operating without franchise? Are
lot the school children of the Fifth
district entitled to free passage on
MS ferry according to the law? What
Meet will this law have on the ferries
operating between Gretna and New
Orleans?
II the law above quoted is appIi.
able to our ferries, why has it not
zen enforced?
your opinion in this matter, which
We desire for publication, will no
oubt be Of great interest to the resi-.
ents OF our district, who already nav
heavy tax to the ferry companies.
nd who are compelled to spend addi-
lonal large sums of money annually
sending their children to the
chools in the city.
Very truly yours, II

Mission.

The non-Catholic mission closed
last Sunday with the usual impressive
ceremonies. 1t was a great success.
The questions we're saner and more
intelligent than last years and were
ably answered by Father lgnatius.
The lectures, clear and to the point,
touched upon the main truths of the
church and made a deep impression
on the minds of the hearers. The
whole mission was most successful
and the fathers and the parishioners
are most grateful to the good, holy
and eloquent men who worked so
hard to accomplish some good in our
midst. Their work will long be re-
membered.

Father Larkins Sxtieth Birthday.
Father Larkin, of the Holy Name
Church. yesterday celebrated his six
tieth birthday and well was it cele-
brated. The festivities started at
luncheon in his honor at which Father
Charles acted as POSTMASTER, and as
he was in a happy mood the event
was doubly enjoyable. His witty re-
marks. brilliant repartees and happy
savings were well calculated TO make
Father Larkin feel 20 years younger.
Many congratulations and wishes
we're offered the guest of honor. An
impromptu entertainment was after
wards given to Father Larkin and to
other fathers at which the wonderful
talent of our children was much in
evidence. The star of the evening
was Mary Collins. Father lgnatius
was still laughing when he woke up
the next morning. Wednesday morn-
ing a large number of the school
children received communion at the
convent chapel in honor of their be-
loved Father. Later as the guests OF
Superintendent Reynolds Fathers Lar
kin. Charles and Ignatius went to JEFF
ferson College for the day.

ous iabors have been royalty enter
