Better Business
Tone Is indicated
At New Orleans
Public Utility Receipts, In
crease in Realty Values
and Growing Oil Trade
Point TO Improvement
Special Financial Correspondents


NEW ORLEANS, July 20-Record-
breaking receipts by the public utili-
ties, steady and firm increase in
realty values and growing oil imports
are Indications of the improving bust
ness situation in New Orleans and in
the surrounding territory commercial
ly tributary to it.
The earnings of the New Orleans
Railway and Light Company for the
quarter ended March 81 were S1,058,-
$40, gross receipts being S3,876,447.
This is at the rate Of more than per
cent on the valuation of $44,70O,000.
That valuation was adopted more than
a year ago, but is not accurate now,
because of extensions, the largest of
which was the addition Of new power
unit costing S750,000. For the year
ended March 81 the company's books
showed earnings Of So, 379,61o, or about
7.6 per cent. When the affairs of the
corporation are finally reorganized
there will be drop in car fares and
gas rates. The fact that this is the
best quarterly showing the company
has yet made is due largely to the
growth Of the city.
This growth is further reflected in
real estate values.
The highest price that real estate
in Canal Street, the principal business
thoroughfare here, has brought is about
$1,000 front foot. Peachtree Street
property in Atlanta (the Canal Street
of that city, has brought as much as
$4,000 a foot, and Atlanta is only half
the size of New Orleans.
If the second half of July keeps the
same pace set by the first this will be
a red-letter month in the oil business
Of the port. During the first week of
July 597,667 barrels Of crude oil were
imported; during the second week, Co.,
600 barrels, making total of 1899 SGT
Larrels. Thirteen vessels cleared with
refined products, principally bound for
Eurpean ports. during the period.

CITY FAIRGROUNDS

NJ ANNINGTON. July 6-tEdi-
tor The West Eirginianl- see
you are printing letters to the edi-
tor about Fairgrounds for Man
nington children. We know that
Fairgrounds would be entertain
ing to the children. especially
those whose mothers haven't time
to take care of them, but I just
want to say here that this is not
the cause of the accidents referred
to.
The Jericho road is more than a
mere street. 1t has all the traffic
from Fairmont Just a year ago
the Shriver child was hurt. which
set people to thinking. The town
got busy and compelled citizens q
mean the working CLASSY to put in
walks. Walks were to be put on
both sides from the city limits up
to the town, but our council
changed to commissioners. who
happened to own a few feet, 50
our prominent citizens were eN-
cused from building
Now as our next election draws
near, be sure to vote for another
man who will put a deal like this
one on the heads of our working
people, Take car ride down east
Main street and view the ground
minus walks. Then ask reliable
man who owns the ground
The buildings of Fairgrounds
to attract our children out on the
public highways should not be a
matter for consideration, but in
stead we should try to put in a
few walks to get them off the
street. A word of advice should
be given to mothers to give their
children home training, rather
than to make them travelling null
sances by putting them on the
public to be entertained with play
ground amusements.
