members Of the department in bulle-
tin issued yesterday:

"Warn drivers courteously against
thoughtlessness and carelessness.
"See that all drivers slow up at

His order closed with direction
that members Of the force closely OBJ
serve and vigorously prosecute all
persons who are found driving auto
mobiles or horse-drawn vehicles while
under the influence of liquor.
Mai. Sullivan's campaign against
sneeders has not been abandoned. It
il the intention OF the superintendent
Of police to have traffic policemen con-
tinue their efforts to capture speed
ers. more especially the reckless ones,
and to prosecute them vigorously.
Arrests for speeding the past week
totaled 183. Arrests for violations of
other traffic rules we're 500.
Speaking OF the large number of
traffic cases tried in Police Court, a
member Of the traffic squad suggested
that establishment Of a traffic court
is the, only thing that will possibly
relieve the situation. It Is stated that
witnesses to accidents are required to
lost much time attending sessions of
the court before trials are concluded,
and recently several witnesses COM
plained because they were not paid
the usual court fee for attending.

VlAOUCT REPAIRS YET OPEN
MATTER

Representatives or the Southern
Pacific Railroad, the South New Or.
leans Light and Traction Company
and the Commission Council held a
long conference in the council cham
Der OF the City Hall last week, when
the repair and upkeep of the Newton
street viaduct was cons. ered.
The Southern Pacific Railroad
which showed that it had kept all
parts of its agreement in connection
with the viaduct, is said to have of.
Tered to pay One-third of the expense
OF repairing the viaduct and One-third
OF the maintenance thereafter. 1t is
understood the city and the traction
company would supply the other two
thirds. No agreement could be
reached on this proposition, it was
said, and the question went over TO
another conference.
Ii was reported that the Southern
Pacific had agreed to pay three-ffths
OF the expense, but officials of that
line said the company had made NO
such agreement.

NEW PROPOSITION
OVER VIADUCT

4 new proposal for splitting the
cost of repairing the Newton street
viaduct in Algiers was submitted to
the city commission council by Com
missioner Maloney of the Public
Property Department. Under this
plan the South New Orleans Light
and Traction Company would pay
$4,000, the balance to be divided
equally between the city of New
Orleans and the Southern Pacific
Company. The total cost, according
to Commissioner Maloney's estimates.
would be between $4,000 and $55. 900.
THE traction company and the
Southern Pacific will, | am pretty
sure. accept this basis. so il is now
up to the city" the commissioner
said. ut is important for people re-
siding in that locality or engaged in
business there that immediate relief
be granted. believe it is properly
the duty of New Orleans to pay a
part of the cost"
The proposal will be considered by
the council. Under the agreement
the South New Orleans Traction Com
pany after three years would pay
$4,000 annually toward the mainte-
nance OF the structure. the balance
to be divided equally between the
Southern Pacific and New Orleans.

DUFFY'S man IS HELD
UP BY COUNCIL

When Traffic Recorder John NJ.
Duffy filed a special report with the
Commission Council on Tuesday, rec.
ommending the appointment of John
a. Barrett, Jr, as his chief clerk, to
succeed Wallace Crawford. there was
a stir among the old o. ID. A. COM
missioners, who knew nothing about
it.
1t proved a clash between the
Algiers Acker New Regular organiza-
! ton and Judge Duffy, who had de-
clined to attend the caucus and be
bound for the appointment of Louis
| Acker as the traffic clerk, brother of
the Algiers leader. Judge Duffy did
not want Acker and preferred Bar
rett in this confidential position.
When it reached the council it de-
veloped that neither Commissioners
Stanley w. Ray, Richard NJ. Murphy
nor Wilbert Black had been consulted.
! Mr.. Ray stated TO reporters prior
to the converting of the council that
he did not know of the Barrett rec.
ommendaion.
He objected to the appointment
when ii came up, saying he did not
think Mr.. Barrett was' fitted for the
position. Mr.. Murphy and Mr.. Black
apparently supported Ray, making il
3 to 2.
| Mayor McShane, despite the fact
that he knew he was in a minority
position, was determined to make his
position plain.
81 cannot see why politics should
decide matter of this kind" he said
This clerk is the confidential man
to the court. | think it only fair
that the Judge should have some say
in naming his chief clerk. instead oil
having someone forced upon him with
whom he might not be congenial"
The force of His Honor's argument
appeared to sink home, despite the
fact that the three o. ID. A commits
sioners saw the necessity of standing
by the Acker machine.
Nothing was done. 1t was agreed
to refer the whole matter to Com
missioner Ray, as public safety com
missioner, with instructions to re
port.

PERSONALLY, have confidence that
the Commission Council will heed all
practical suggestions made in this
matter in good faith. and will, if
given the necessary time and means,
institute public ownership and oper'

big problem
Commissioner Murphy's recent mes
sage to the ferry committee, that he
would recommend the substitution OF
the 'indeterminate permit for the
fifteen year lease, being therefore in
line with the committees recent sug
gestions above quoted, there is nc
doubt but that this plan will be
adopted just as soon as the details
can be gotten into shape. Under this
plan, the entire net earnings of the
ferries, less a specified interest to the
investors, would go into new boats
and lower fares, after the present
equipment shall have been placed in
first class condition, the city reserv'
ing the right, however, to take over
the equipment and the business, at
any time during this transition pro-
cess.
