A Sketch of the Life of Martin
Behrman, "A Doer of Things

Within the last fifteen years New
Orleans has undergone a reconstruc-
ton not only in its physical aspects,
but in its commercial, moral and civic
ideals. In this reconstruction the old
time spirit of dissatisfaction, drift
ing with the tide and taking whatever
might come this way, has been replac-
ed entirely by a vigorous spirit Of mi
tiative enterprise, aggressive industry
and q reaching out for greater and
more important and %ennobling things.
This new order of affairs in the
municipal entity of New Orleans has
been the result of a growth, in which
the seeds Of the new spirit were plant
ed, fostered and encouraged into frui-
tion by a group Of devoted. broad-vi-
stoned, energetic, loyal citizens. OF
this group non is entitled to greater
credit for the general and varied i'm
provements and betterments that are
noted in the municipality, than Mar
in Behrman, Mayor of New Orleans
for the last fifteen years.
Part in city's Growth
And it is safe to venture that none
not even those who may be most
strongly opposed to him politically, or
who may have differed most widely
with his administrative policies-will
deny Mayor Behrman that credit
which is his due for the important
part he has played in the development
and progress of New Orleans from a
large ~somnolently growing commun-
ity to an energized, wide-awake, bustl-
ing, modern city, with a definite pur-
pose and an inspirited ambition to
excel as a center If business and
trade, as a leader in civic standards
and as an ideal home place for the
happiest, most prosperous and best
ordered inhabitants on the fact of the
globe.
ADMITTEDLY it is nc small share CT
the credit that is attributed to Mayor
Behrman for what has been accom-
plished in the transformation of the
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1919-10-04

municipality of New Orleans. Work
for the Crescent City has been his
passion, its proper development has
been the object of his waking dreams,
and its growth and expansion to the
position that it should logically and
rightfully occupy among the muni-
CAPABILITIES of the country that has been
the goal toward which he has labored
early and late, in season and out of
season, at home and abroad with a
devotion possessed by few citizens of
any community in any country.
Rewarded by People
Recognition by the people of this
faithful attention 10 and service for
his home city has been strikingly evil
denced in the fact that they have re-
warded his work by keeping him CON
tinuously in the position of chief exc
cutive of the city for so long a period
of time. For TO Mayor Behrman has
been given the peculiar distinction of
being the last executive to be elected
under the old convention system, the
first under the primary system and
the first under the commission form of
government.
His regime as head of the NUM-
cipal government has not been all a
pleasant, peaceful siesta. On the CON
trary, it has been marked by some Wig
orous fights and turbulent episodes.
But Mayor Behrman, during all the
course of his long public career, has
never displayed any disposition to side
step a fight, when to do so would
mean the defeat of some project or
policy he considered essential to the
progress and welfare of New Orlans
and her people. or would result in
elimination of some necessary i'm
provement.
He has shown himself to be a good
fighter and successful whenever oc-
casion for such demonstration has de.
mand3 d. And still he has retained
the confidence of the vast majority
of citizens and in many instances has
gained the friendship of those who
had been opposed to him.
Popular Executive
1t is not exaggeration, but a plain
fact, to state that NO executive of any
city in the United States is more po-
pular at home or o widely and fav-
orably known outside his home city,
than Mayor Martin Behrman of New
Orleans. His engaing personality, and
is achievements as a city builder and
administrator and is important serv-
ice for his country in his personal and
official capacity during the late world
war, all have combined to bring him
censpieuously to the notice of the
people of many sections until his rep
utation today is national in character.
A man of in~dominatable will power
of quick initiative, Of exceptional
breadth of vision ready understand.
ing and keen sympthy with the pub
lies desires, Mayor Behrman makes
the ideal executive. Added to these
qualities he possesses careful business
Judgment, a high type of private and
official integrity and a personality so
genially engaging that he readily in
spires the confidence of his friends
and acquaintance.
He is a "Doer"
He is accustomed to accomplishing

Period Of Progress

In many respects the four terms
Mayor Behrman has served New Or
leans as its chief executive have been
remarkable. More and greater things
have happened out of the ordinary
during this period, than have occur
red in any other period in the city's
eventful history, not excepting the
time of the val between the states.
During these last fifteen years that
Mayor Behrman has occupied the posi-
ton as head Of the municipal govern
ment, entire new sections have been
developed and added to the city; vast
areas CT unimproyed swamp lands
within the eity's limits have been re-
claimed, built up, beautiful and made
a source of revenue to the municipol-
ity as well as to the owners The
parks of New Orleans, including West
End, have been made readily access
able to the inhabitants of every por-
ton of the city through the greatly i'm
proved street railroad communication
and system of universal transfers,
which the company was induced to
put into effect through the earnest
solicitation of Mayor Behrman.
These parks, with judicious expen.
diture of the funds at the command
of those in charge, and additional
acreage have become restful and at
tractive breathing spots, not excelled
by similar recreation grounds in any
city of the South.
Numerous Fairgrounds
0 comparatively. recent creation
there are also a goodly number OF
children's Fairgrounds scattered over
the city in convenient locations where
they have been greatly needed. and
which are being adequately equipped
and afford the young people facilities
for open air recreation which other
wise they could not enjoy.
Millions of dollars have been spent
and still are being expended In street
paving of the most approved and dur
able character. New Orleans now has
what is regarded as the finest and
most modern systems of sewerage,

strenuous opposition from those who
thought the railroads should control
all switching and transportation mat
ters.
As a result of the interest shown by
the mayor the city has a splendid as
set in this great public utility which
is one of the finest belt railroads in
the world and one of the few owned
by the city in which it operats.
Mayor Behrman, by reason of the Of
flee he holds, is also a member of the
Orleans LeVee Board and has had a
prominent part in the clearing away
of the old buildings along the water
front and the construction of the
great leyee that now SO securely pro-
teets the city.
West End Park
One of the accomplishments of
which the mayor is justly proud and
on which he has been frequently COM
~plimented is the West End Park plan.
The mayor has had carried out extern
siVe improvements on the lake front,
including a sea wall, public gardens
and numerous other improvements,
which, when fully completed, will
make West End Park n of the finest
summer amusement places in the Uni
ted States.
The bulk of the money used in the
execution of the mayors elaborate
plans was loaned by the New Orleans
Railway and Light Company in con-
sideration of their Spanish Fort fran
chise.
To keen business Judgment and a
wonderful capacity for work, more
than to anything else, probably, is due
Mayor Behrman's success. Add to
these the many genial social qualities
he possesses, his ready wit and his
exceptional ability to read character
and to appreciate what to say and
when to say it, and you have a most
desirable companion. These qualities
and his native ability and courage
have been important factor in estab-
fishing and maintaining his wide po-
pularity. Besides his sympathies al
ways have been with the poor and the
unfortunate and in him they have
found a loyal, trustful friend and help
er.

His career as a travelling salesman
