/ street cars have been added to the
street railway equipment, in order
10 AFFORD better accommodations to
passengers; and improvements in
the generating machinery at the
power plant have made the opera
ton OF the cars more reliable than
formerly. We are informed the
company is planning to still further
increase the capacity of its gener-
ating plant, and the number of cars.
IN order to make the service better,
and that these Improvements will be
effected just as soon as the manu-
facturers can supply the equipment
Much OF this new generating ma
chinery has been installed but it
will be several months more before
1t is finally completed.
The new passing track, recently
built in the Brooklyn Pasture road
has made it possible for the cars to
maintain the ten minutes schedule
and meet the ferry boats in Algiers
and Gretna; and the irritating de-
lays to passengers, due to one car
having to wait for others at several
points on the line, have practically
disappeared.
Before the new company assumed
control the plant and office build
lngs were in a condition that was a
discredit to the community; but the
last few months have seen them so
renovated and improved that they
have the appearance consistent with
a properly conducted industry.
One of the best indications of
good intention on the part of a pub
lie service corporation is the manner
in which that corporation treats its
patrons and employees. In the pres
ent instance it is gratifying to note
that very harmonious relations ex-
list between the company, the gen.
eral public, and the employees in its
several departments. There is every
reason to believe that these pleasant
relations will continue and to i'm
during the last few months.
Mr.. Z. w. Burgis, the general
manager of the companies who for
many years was connected with the
Grand Isle Railway and later on
construction engineer of the old rail-
ways companies or this side of the
river, was placed at the head. of the
new lighting and transportation
company about year ago. At this
time he caused a general reorgani-
Zation of the working forces which
has proven to be so efficient The
accommodations now furnished the
public in street car service and the
lower rates and better service in
lighting were all the results of his
efforts to serve the public as they
expected to be served by a public
service corporation. Mr.. Burgis'
years of experience in handling men
and material admirably fitted him
for his new position and the success
of the new company is largely due
to his effort.
One of the successful results of Mr..
Burgis' management is the good
feeling which exists between the en-
ployees and the company and the
public and the company all of which
is the result of confidence won by
his evident wish to act fairly toward
all
Mr.. Burgis is one of those sub
stantial conservative business men
that the public has learned to have
confidence in. He has never made
any rash promises as to what the
company was going to do or how
they were going to do it but 1t has
been Mr.. Burgis' policy to do things |
first and allow the public to learn |
of them through the merit of the |
service.

BENEFITS OF CONCRETE ROAD
Enables Farmer to Haul Two Loads
at One Trip, Instead Of One Load
at Two Trips.

Reduced to simple terms, concrete
ronG helps the farmer haul two loads
at one trip instead Of one loan at
two trips; or, it doubles the size OF
the load and cuts in two the tractive
power necessary to transport farm
produce. With less capital tied up in
horses there Is more cash to put into
equipment to produce more cash. The
concrete road reduces the strain on
horses and lengthens their lives. 1t
reduces wear on wagons and harness.
Where motortrucks are used it less
ems tire and fuel expense. 1t puts
the farmer in a state of preparedness
to reach markets quickly when prices
are best, and he can take his profits
and get home with more cash than he
could by slow hauling on bad road
1t adds to the acreage value of a farm
because 1t increases its earning pos.
siblities. A concrete road makes al
of these advantages permanent, bring
ing its toll of profit to the farmer
daily in the form Of time, money ant
effort saved.

England wanted to avoid battle in

Plan 10
lnstigate Revolt

AUGUST a.--~Germanv announces in
common with Austria Hungary "ths
liberation of the Poles from the Mus
covite yoke If Prussia were at war
with Austria. she would issue SINH
lar proclamation against the inhabi-
tonts of the Glorious Kingdom Of Bo-
hemia,
We Germens ought not dare to speak
OF tho Muscovite yoke Not only We
ourselves carry u yoke which, although
1t Ia more brilliant is still worse, but
tematically than the Russians. We are
continuing to torture the Danes and
the Aisatians to death.
But no ono in Prussia thinks Of Civ
ing the Poles some thing at the cost of
Prussia.
The boundaries of Prussia are to re-.
main unchanged, Just like the bound
aries of the stubborn and gnoble
Prussian conception Of state. The OBJ
Ject is simply TO instigate the Poles
ago inst the Gar and to rob him of the
divided with him.
Prussia will make the fighting
easier for herself; she does not pos
sess even the slightest trace Of love
and respect for tho soul and the
body Of the unfortunate Polish peo-
pie.
Only yesterday ! had an opportunity
to hear from the lips of the man who
in his days had worked out the policy
of appropriation of all Prussian Poles
that even this Russian Poland which
is 20 be made an independent state will
be granted the right only after it will
have taken over all the Prussan Poles
and allowed the correction OF the Prus-
sian frontiers at its exp pense.
