MEN TO
HELP BOOST
BOGALUSA
VIII Attend Luncheon at
Pine Tree Inn Tonight
and Organize Chamber
of Commerce and Discuss
Other Plans.

Bogalusa business and profess
sional men and citizens who feel that
they should assist in making .Boga-
iusa greater city are to meet at the
Pine Tree Inn this evening, when a
ChSmber of Commerce viii be or
ganized.
Bogalusa has progressed since its
foundation as not other city in the
South, but the success and growth Of
the city was due to Mayor w. H.
Sullivan and the Great Southern
Lumber Company, every industry in
the city having been secured by
them, except the cigar factory. Bus
mess men have come to the conclu-
sion that in face Of the unusual pros
poets facing US that if they win show
a spirit of pitching in and doing their
part that Bogalusa can even pro-
gress at a more rapid speed. It is
the intention to employ secretary
who knows the duties of the inn
portant work, to go after new indus
tries and leave nothing undone to-
ward building a greater and better
city.
If you count yourself among the
citizens Of Bogalusa who are willing
to give some of their time, money
and cooperation to such a move
ment, then be at the Pine Tree Inn
this evening. If you let anything
keep you away from this meeting,
you are still in the old rut and will
ing to. sit back and let others do
work in which you should help and
from which you are receiving as
much benefit as those who put up
their time and money.
MFR. Business and Professional
Man, cancel your engagements for
tonight, regardless Of what they may
be, and attend the meeting at the
Pine Tree Inn.

Auto Traffic Law
Passed By Council

Owners of automobiles in Boga-
lusa will have to mind their p's and
as for the next few weeks in order
to comply with the new traffic Ordi-
nance which was passed Tuesday
night by the Commission Council and
becomes effective on publication,
which will be next week.
The law will prove of benefit to
drivers of cars as we'll as pedestrians
and is of the standard form, so that
Bogalusa people who learn the new
rules and regulations need have no
fear of not knowing how to drive in
other cities. The ordinance is quite
lengthy and in order that every
driver may know the law, it will be
published in pamphlet form within a
short time.
Besides the signals that drivers
must given when stopping suddenly,
making left-kand turn and the
parking regulations, the jitney rates
will be fixed, spot lights cannot be
used while the car is moving, muf-
flers must be on all cars and lights
must be controlled so as not to blind
another driver coming in the opDo-
site direction.
A number Of citizers were present
and expressed their approval of such
an ordinance.

some amusement. Then during the
same number of evenings the chill,
dren will be given an opportunity Of
riding on the merry-go-round for 6
cents, instead Of ten, so that they
can 60 to the show, take ride on the
merry go-round and be ont the SUM
cents, which Is less than the
ssual pfiee of admission to the air
dome alone.
Not only is the treat offered the
kiddies, but Mr.. Webster is going to
be disappointed if there are any kid
dies who do not take advantage of
the treat every night during the
week. Tell the children in your
neighborhood, as well as their par
ents, that the children viii be ad-
mitted to the airdome any night for
the next week on the payment of one
cent, and that big long ride on the
merry-go-round can be included for
six cents more.

Power Troubles
at C. Plant

The advantage of electric power
has been demonstrated to Bogalusa
during the past weekly its abb
sence. The city has been without
power, except at the noon hour and
for a few hours at night, when es-
pecial efforts have been made by the
powerhouse employees Of The Great
Southern Lumber Company, so that
local residents would not be foo
greatly inconvenienced.
Major Jack Friend, supervising en-
gineer of the Great Southern, said
this would last several days more,
at least. The trouble is due to the
failure of the two big turbo-gencr-
ators at the plant. The city would
not have been without power, it is
said, if the repair parts, ordered Feb
ruary l, and promised to be deliv-
cred May /, had arrived.
These repair parts are expected
now on August ID, but meanwhile,
Major Friend and his electricians are
working day and night in an effort
to give the city as much power as
possible. The Great Southern and
the Bogalusa Paper Company are
also making every sacrifice possible
to give the city more power and the
work of many departments of the
two big plants is being curtailed.
The Great Southern anticipated
this trouble some time ago, Major
Friend said, and at once ordered two
big turbines. These generators will
have a total cost of about 100000,
and can develop a capacity of $500
K. w. each.
These two big machines for gen
Grating electricity viii mean great
deal to Bogalusa and, added 20 the
present equipment, viii give the city
an unsurpassed service.
Major Friend states ne hopes to
have the power plant in such shape
within the next few days that the
city will have enough power for its
ordinary needs. When the necessary
repair parts arrive, the city will get
along alright until the two new tur-
bines are installed.
The lack Of power means serious
curta;lment of the work Of the Great
Southern and the Bogalusa Paper
Company, as well as the railroad
shops and others who depend upor
power from the G. S. L.
