DOCK BOARD SHEDS AT
FOOT OF CANAL STREET
TO BE REMoDEIED.

Plans for the Identification of dock
board properties at the foot of Canal
street have been approved by the
board, and General Manager John
Fl. Walsh, authorized advertisement
for bids as soon as the details have
been completed by the boards archi-
tect. This probably will be in a week
or ten days, Mr.. Walsh said yester-
day.
Remodeling Of the Canal street end
of the Poydras shed and construction
of retaining wall across the head
of the street will be the first
step in the boards improvement
campaign. The plans were pre-
pared by Colonel Allison Owen, in
conformity with a general improve
ment scheme at that point in which
number of public bodies are pledged
to participate. The general layout
was prepared by committee of local
architects.
In remodeling the Poydras shed one
corner Of the structure will be re.
moved so as to permit a continuation
of the upper line of Canal street to
the rivers edge. The shed projects
slightly at this point, obstructing the
view.
Only part Of the proposed re.
aiming wall can be built at this time,
Mr.. Walsh said, as the city's ferry
franchise has not been awarded. Il
is proposed to use part of the pro.
ceeds of the ferry franchise for con.
struction of a new ferry landing,
while the present ferry house and
dock board engineering office will be
removed. The new ferry house would
be at the upper end of the Bienville
street shed.
The retaining wall will be built to
the Mississippi river commission
grade of twenty-five feet, and later
he present open dock between the
Poydras shed and the ferry house
will be removed, and the levee filed
in between its present crown and the
retaining wall.

MATS FOR GAZING
PREVENTION TO BE
SUNK NEAR AlGIERS

To prevent further erosion and
caving on the Algiers side of the river
above the Algiers ferry, government
engineers and workmen of the Fourth
Mississippi Engineering District will
sink three sections of frame willow
each loaded with rock and
cement ballast at danger points this
week.
The first section will be sunk at a
point about 800 yards above the AL.
giers ferry. The entire section ex.
tends a distance of about 400 feet
from the banks to where the stream
has depth of about 10 feet. The
section is $50 feet in width.
Each section will be connected to
the river bank by heavy steel cables
and the first section to be. sunk con
sists of four separate mattresses, each
$50 by 100 feet, spliced together, thus
forming one large mattress known as
a section.
Each of the sections will be 400 by
$50 feet and when all have been
placed in position and sunk the bank
on the Algiers side, where caving ex
tending for a distance of about 10C
feet upstream and about fifty feet out
into the river has taken place with
in the past few months, will be pro
tected from further sloughing. The
bank for a distance of $50 feet up the
river and 40 feet out will be protected
from future caving when the laying
of the three sections are completed,
government engineers said.
The first section will be sunk at a
point beginning a few feet above
Dock No. 1 of the Algiers Dry Dock
and Ship Repair Company, while the
other two will be sunk above and ad,
joining the first. The three sections
when completed will extend from the
dock to point almost directly op-
posite the Corona Coal Company's
building.

New 5000 Ton
Section Here For
Johnson Docks

A new 5000 ton section, to be
added to the present 1000 ton dry
dock of the Johnson Works Dry
Docks and Shipbuilding Company is
now anchored off Lavergne street,
and it is announced by Off
Gals of the firm that the work of
connecting the two sections WIS
started Wednesday. This will in.
crease the efficiency of the plant and
at the same time enable it to accomo-
date the largest vessels that enter the
port of New Orleans.
The section was constructed in New
York and it represents an outlay of
100000. 1t was lowed here from the
point where il was built. Nearly $780,
900 feet of timber were used in the
/ dock to which it is to be added be-
sides having the 1000 ton capacity
will be able to take care of vessels
drawing q feet of water. The dock
itself towers % feet above the deck
line. Although the old dock is a
steam operated one, when the new
section is connected up the entire
thing will be operated by electricity.
Dockmaster E. d. McNair states that
although the old section was con-
structed in 1905 it is still in excellent
condition. About twenty vessels a
month are handled by the concern.

BLOCK DANCE.

American flags, electric lights and
fire works will mark the scene Of the
grandest block dance ever staged In
Algiers next Thursday night, August
81, on Pelican Avenue, between Sc
gum and Bouny Streets. The Boy
Scouts Of Troop 80, who are giving
this entertainment are doing every
thing possible to make the event one
that will be everlastingly remembered
and spoken of by the people of Al
giers. Already some three hundred
tickets have been disposed Of, which
makes us believe that the crowd will
be a record breaking one.
This dance is going to be a whole
family dance, this meaning that only
that kind of dancing that is suitable
for the whole family from mother
and father to little sister and brother
will be allowed. Many mothers and
fathers have promised to be In at
tendance. Boy Scouts Of New Or
leans will also come to Algiers on
that night.
Brownlee's Band will furnish the
music.
