RUBBING IT IN
AIaiers Must Accept Service As 1t
Is Given. Another Forced Elk
cursion On The Ferries.

The unsatisfactory ferry service
which is the result of operating With
out a franchise and without the city
helping Algiers in it's protest against
such service, compels the Algiers
people to submit to whatever kind
of transportation the ferry company
will condescend to give them. For
several weeks, one of the large boats
has been laid up and in its stead
the small Josie is being operated 1t
is not an uncommon thing to have
large numbers of trucks, and autos
waiting on either side of the river
for an opportunity to cross, neces-
stating a delay of from one-half to
one hour.
On Sunday night another accident
occurred to the big boat when she
broke her steering apparatus and
floated down with the swift stream
to a point near Chalmette. The boat
was crowded with passengers and
with vehicles of all kinds, and the
excursion down the river lasted more
than an hour. The Dock Board tug,
Samson, was pressed into service to
bring the boat to the Algiers landing
where the autos were reimbursed for
the amount they had paid for their
passage. On the trip down the river
the boat ran into a large steamship
The ferry boat was injured to some
extent by the Samson who had tied
her lines to the railing, and in towing
they gave way.
This was only a part of the delay
Sunday night. About an hour later
the boat broke down again, and 1ol
several hours transportation was
compelled to stop between Anglers
and the city Notwithstanding the fac
that another boat was available. As
the ferry company has no franchise
and the city does not interest itsel
in the welfare of the Algiers people
we must necessarily expect this kint
of service which is being handed ou
almost daily.
Hundreds of people fear boarding
the little ferry boat, Josie on accoun
of the large loads that are being pu
on her when the traffic is congesteo
and these people are compelled t
accept a twenty minute schedule II
stead of a 1O-minute schedule. Man
Of the passengers were compelled I
go to Jackson Avenue on Sunda
night in order to cross, making de
Law of more than three hours.
