Editor The Herald. City.
| read with interest your editorial
in this weeks issue Of the Herald.
calling upon the people of Algiers To
form an organization To further the
interests OF the Fifth District. There
is no doubt but that Alciers sadly
needs an organization based on pure
democracy, not controlled politically
and operated Tor the good of the
community at large, not merely for
few influential parties seeking person
al gain II must be an organization
backed up by manhood which Will
come 10 the front when it is necessary
TO disagree with the administration.
and not one which servilely bows and
scrapes To the powers that be, to the
detriment of the community. Algiers
is in the same fix as Esau, when he
sold his birthright for mess OF pot
tage AlGierS has bartered its inner
ent rights for few political jobs.
with the result that il gets nothing
more than these few political jobs.
The big things 20 elsewhere. FcC
the sake OF these few jobs il has to
suffer the burden of unjust and eN-
cessive cost of ferry transportation.
with abominable service and the great
hindrance to commercial and social
advancement incident thereto; it has
to put up with usage by the large
corporations according 10 the corpor-
atoms whims; it has TO stand by and
see improvements going on in all 9th
er parts of the city but its own sec
ton. Ii has been many years since
street was paved in Algiers. A new
frehouse was put up where lit was
not so badly needed. whereas the
large area below the viaducts is alb
sOlutely unprotected. II recently re-
ceived a school house which it should
have had several years ago. Com
pulsOry ratproOfing was forced upon
many poor. yet the rats running
around the st. John market can be
seen a block off. The hardship
caused the people of Algiers on &C
count of the conditions on Canal St.
from the L. & y. depot to the Canal
street ferry, together with the Public
Belt Railroad switching nuisance. has
been permitted to continue for years
An organization interested only in
the good of the community as a whole
with the determination to better con-
ditions and get at the bottom of them
irrespective of whom il affects, and
which would confne its endeavors to
the big things and ignore picayune
matters altogether, and which would
not permit itself to be used as
bumper post for criticism to shield
politicians, could undoubtedly be a
great power for the upbuilding of our
section. Iii such an organization |
would be willing to do my utmost, but
otherwise. | believe the organization
would merely DE farce, and a tool
! to be worked against the community
| instead OF for it.
Yours sincerely.
