r. Norman. of Aurora Plantation
has returned from Camp Pike a full

GLENNY OVERRULES ALGIERS
FERRY MUNICIPAL OWNER
SHIP.
Nothing Can Be Done i'm Life of
Franchises, He Says.

Acting on the petition of the AL
giers improvement Association for
the municipal ownership and opera
ton of the franchises connecting
the east and west sides must wait on
the expiration of the existing fran
chises which are vested in private
corporations, Commissioner E. j.
Glenny ruled Tuesday in a report to
the city commission council.
Further, Mr.. Glenny said. the
present city commission council will
be powerless to act, because all the
franchises are dated to expire after
the present councils term expires.
"The Canal street ferry franchise
extends to December, 1921" Mr..
Glenny said. 1.-The others expire
at various dates during the next IL
years. The present council goes
out of office before any franchise
expires, and it is -powerless, there
fore, to take action without en-
croaching upon the jurisdiction OF
the succeeding council"
Recently the Algiers Improvement
Association. declaring that lack OF
proper ferriage across the river was
keeping the Algiers side from at
tanning its proper growth, petition
ed the city authorities to arrange to
have all ferries taken over and op.
Grated by the city itself.

$4,000 GIVEN TO MINISTERIAL
WORK

1t was decided by the Louisiana
Conference of the Southern Metho-
dist Church, at its November session,
to give $4,000 to defray the cost of
added ministerial work among the sol
diers and sailors in training within
the bounds of the state. This money
is but an added sum to the gifts of
the whole denomination toward the
same cause. At their meeting in
Alexandria a few days ago the seven
presiding elders of the state decided
that $500 of this amount should be
spent at Alexandria and Lake Charles
and that $1,000 should be spent in New
Orleans.
Methodist ministers met Monday,
April %, and gave careful considera-
ton to the soldier and sailor prob
lens of New Orleans and decided to
place all work pertaining to the Al
giers Naval Station under the imme-
date management of Rev. C. c. Wier,
pastor of the Algiers Methodist
Church.
1t was decided by the Methodist
ministers that the Y. NJ. c. A. secre-
taries, visiting pastors and religious
organizations are sufficiently active
and acceptable to bring adequate re-
ligious help and inspiration to the
camps, but that the large number of
boys that take shore leave from the
Naval Station and furloughs from the
training camps need a church home
in the city to which they can go and
where they will feel that they are not
visitors but are part of the congre-
cation.
