Where Will The
Canal Ferry Land?
NEW LANDING NECESSARY
WHILE GOVERNMENT RE-
PAIRS ALGIERS POINT.

There will be considerable more in
commerce if the Southern Improve
ment and Ferry Company should dis
continue operation at the, Canal Street
Ferry during the time that the United
States Government will consume in
laying mattresses at what is known as
the Algers Point. Mr.. Peter S. Lawton
stated that he had received a letter
from the management of the Ferry
Company stating that letter had been
received from the government engi-
neers that the pontoon at the head OF
Morgan street will interfere with their
work, and ii will have to be removed
for about ten working days until such
time as the mattresses are placed.
We do not know what arrangements
the Southern Improvement and Ferry
Company has made to take care of
this enormous daily traffic. We do
not know of any provisions that they
have made in the event that ii be-
comes necessary to move the pontoon.
Surely the city administration would
not tolerate the stopping of the ferry
service for this long time.
We understand that the engineers
are ready to go ahead with their work
and that they have given the ferry
| company ample notice to provide a
temporary landing place for the fer
| ries.
1t has been suggested that perhaps
the Canal Street Ferry could land at
the pontoon of the Third District Fer
nv at Olivier street. Whether or moi
this is practicable is left to the de-
cision or the river men, but we believe
that if it becomes necessary to remove
the pontoon, a temporary gangway fol
passengers only could be constructed
to, connect with the temporary loca
ton of the pontoon. The wagon traf
fic could be taken care of at the THIRD
District Ferry.
This is an important matter ant
should receive the immediate attention
of the Algiers people. We could not
of course, expect the Ferry Compan!
to go out of their way to accommodate
the Algers public when we stop to con
slider their past performances ant
treatment of the public.

ALGIERS SAWMILL
ORDERED TO MOVE

The Orleans Parish Levee Board
Monday night ordered the Algiers
Saw and Planning Mill Company to
move from the levee atLavergne and
Verret streets, in the Fifth District
across the river, so that the board
could proceed at once to fill in a
gap there.
The board also instructed Major
Frank NJ. Kerr chief state engineer,
to proceed Immediately with plans
for work on the levee.
The magnitude of the claim of the
company, estimated by Manager Will
liam H. Ward at $4,000, precipi-
tated a lively controversy between
Attorneys Benjamin T. Waldo and
Ethelred NJ. Stafford representing
the company, and Arthur McGuirk
special counsel for the Dock Board,
representing the Levee Board. Ac-
cording to Mr.. McGuirk, the property
was transferred about ten years for
$4,000.
Upon advice of Mr.. McGuirk the
board, over the vigorous protest OF
the company's attorneys, decided
upon the following course. First
ordered the company to remove it:
property within thirty days or the
board would do so at the company's
expense; secondly, instructed theil
counsel to investigate thoroughly
whether the company was entitled
to any compensation or not as mat
ter of right under the Constitution
of 1898, and, thirdly, in the even
he should decide that they are so en-
titled, then to appoint an appraiser
who would proceed, to estimate TIL
value of the property.
Mr.. Waldo told the board he coult
trace the company's title to the LAM
back to the original grant of Mon
sieur Bienville. Mr.. McGuirk as
serted that even granting this to b
so, he was not ready to admit tina
the company would be entitled t
compensation according to provision
of the Constitution of 1898.

The Bicycle For
Business or Pleasure
The Weidig Bargain Bike House A
Growing Popular Business
Institution.

The bicycle, even in it's palmiest
days of yore, did not enjoy the
measure of popularity that it en-
joys today. From its use for plea
sure and recreation of years gone by
it has in the past few years staged a
real comeback" and aside from
pleasure it affords, it is today used
more and more for business purposes.
For the youth of tender age it is a
life's ambition to own bicycle, and
oh, his joy upon possessing one.
Business men see the value of the
bicycle also.
And this brings us to the Weidig
Bargain Bike House, 601-603 Dau-
phine street, a business house partic-
ularly worthy of mention in this in
stance. Established less than two
years ago by Mr.. E. c. Weidig, the
proprietor, the business has enjoyed
continual and steady growth, due
to the fact that real values in the
line represented are always to be
had here, the prompt and efficient
/ service rendered. and lastly the pop.
ularity of the owner.
The Weidig Bargain Bike House
carries a complete line of bicycles
including the well known makes o.
Southland and the Majestic. JUS
now there is being offered a specia
bargin in bicycles at $50, due to al
advantageous purchase since thu
new year. OF course there are bi
cycles at higher prices, and some TO
less. They sell tires for $3.50, ant
carry a complete stock of parts ant
accessories, and the repair depart
ment does expert work.
In connection with the bicycl
business the Weidig Bargain Blk
House is also manufacturers of fame
Cement Flower Pots, including tn
popular grape design, price o
$1.25 being quoted on these.
