Receiver Riggs Finds The
Road Cannot Be Run
Without a Loss.
COURT ORDERS
CHARTER REVOKED
Affairs Will Be Liquidated
And Road Sold AS
Material.

By order of the Court the receiver
ship of Whit. Riggs to continue the
operation of the st. Tammany & New
Orleans Railways & Ferry Co. has
| been revoked, and it is further Or
dered that the charter and franchise
OF said company be cancelled and
surrendered and its corporate exist
ence terminated. In order to pre-
serve the properties belonging to the
company remaining in the hands OF
the Court it is ordered that Whitaker
Riggs, Sr., receiver, is authorized to
employ four men, three watchmen at
$3.50 per day and one bookkeeper
not exceeding $500 per month. to
take care of the properties and af-
fairs of said company in liquidation
until legal disposition is made OF
same.
This action follows an attempt to
sell said property and liQuidate its
affairs, there having been no bidders,
after due advertising.
1t is recited that during the re-
ceivership, since the 18th day OF
January, 1918, the road has operat-
ed at loss, the operating expenses
for the first three months above re-
ceipts being $4O62.69, the daily av-
erage operating deficit being $45.14
That in addition to a receivers GER
tificate for 100000 tax subsidy
for 1917 and up to April 1918,
amounting to $2S21.72 has been re-
ceived. That report of experts ap-
pointed by the Court to inquire into
physical condition of company shows
that $3O,OO0.00 would be required
to put road in condition for opera
ton. That report of auditor shows
it is not possible to Operate road ex-
cept at heavy loss. That after 1918
tax of $6373.OO will cease. THAT
property exempt from taxation here
tofore will have to pay $150O.OO after
1918. That as set forth above the
road would show loss of $2O,OO0.OO
a year. That after deducting tax
subsidy said road has lost since the
18th day of February, 1909. $146,-
973.O8. Loss of tax subsidy. in
creased taxation and impossible labor
conditions would make continued op-
Grafton a great loss. That cont1nu-
ed operation would exhaust resources
and leave creditors and bondholders
without resources.
It is probable that the road VIII
again be put up for sale. There is
talk of various schemes and propo-
sitions for the purchase OF the ROAD
and its reconstruction to Madison
Vile or other points, but there is
nothing known definitely OF these
plans.

BOOKS WEARING WELL
state Printer Smith Makes Inspection
Trip Thru Schools.

I'm company with some of the super
futendents of the state printing plant,
State Printer w. r. Smith has been
visiting some of the public schools in
order to see how the state printed text
books have been standing the wear
and tear of school room use. The
hooks have been in use now about
four months. long enough to give a
pretty good idea of their serviceability.
on the whole. it was found that the
books had given excellent service, and
were standing up well under usage not
particularly gentle.
One of the objects of the visit was
TO learn how the work of certain ma
chimes compared with tina of others.
The inspection revealed some interest
ing features that will be valuable in
handling school book production in
the future. For instance, it was found
that one type of sewing machine
producd much better results in certain
classes of work than another type,
whose product was apparently as good
IN every respect when it left the plant.
Notes are being taken on all such
points discovered in these inspections
with the idea of making the workman
ship on future editions as nearly per-
feet as is possible.
