On Tuesday night the board of direc
tors of the Alhambra Gymnastic Club
held an important meeting at whic-h
time some very important business
was transacted. The committee which

ties that are already in the building.
The committee on by-laws will also
be ready with their report on Wednes
day night next, when they will be
adopted and placed in full force.

GROUND FOR IMMIGRANT STA
TION TO BE BROKEN WITH
PATRIOTIC CEREMONY.
Announcement was made by the
Progressive Union that ground will be
broken for the United States Immigra
tion Station in Algiers on Thursday,
April 11, at noon. Authority for the
announcement came through United
States Commissioner of Immigration
S. E. Redfern to Manager M. B. Treze
vant, after a consultation in Mr. Red
fern's office with the contractor, John
Relss, and Rathbone DuBuys, of the
architect firm of DuBuys, Churchill &
Labouisse. The various exchanges of
the city, the steamship and railroad
companies will be invited to-send rep
resentatives and the Dock Board, Belt
Railroad and Levee Board as well.
Mayor Behrman and Governor Sanders
will be requested to speak for the city
and state interests, and Mr. Porch for
the commeclal interests of New Or
leans. Commissioner of Agriculture
Bruner and Secretary of Immigration
J. F. Denechaud will also be among the
leading state officials to take part in
the ceremony.
The New Orleans station, when
opened1 will be the largest and most
complete In the South, the total in
vestment to date being $242,000. Of
this the city and state contributed $5,
000 apiece for the original site, the
Dock Board bluilt the 450-foot wharf at
an expense of $22,000, the United
States Goveramenit put up $210,000,
divided as follows: )120,000 for build.
ings and approaches, $540,M for fur
nishlng, $25,000 for a steel launch and
$15,000 for additionalm land.
The Immigration 8tation at New Or.
leans represents yers of anremitting
labor on the part of the Progressive
Union, and the present site was se
lected only after many and sometimes
bitter controversies. The original ap
propriation secured by the Progressive
Union from Congress was $70,000, but
in 1911 $140,000 additional was asked
lor, and given, and the grade of the
mce here raised from inspector to
comisaloaer, being one of some halt
dosen in United States ports.
The trip to the station will be made
aboard the tugboat Samson, loaned
through the courtesy of President W.
A. Kernaghan, of the Board of Port
Commissioners, and will leave from
the head of Canal street at 12 o'clock
at noon Thursday week, April 11.
The Progressive Union has wired
Secretary of Commerce and Labor Ne
gel, requesting him to delegate some
one from his department to attend the
ceremony.

FIVE HUNDRED FEET OF WHARF.
Pi\e hundred feet of wharf on each
side of the ri\er, with a freight and
passenger service plying Ibtween, will
be one of the imlprovenlents soon to lbe
ins!tilled by the New Orleans. Fort
.Jackson & (;ratd Isle Railroad. Otto
M.aier, the vice-president of thte road,
and ('. E..\. ('arr, the general manea
ger, appeared before the Board of Port
('ommissioners last week and made the
formal request for the space necessary
to carry out its plans.
The ferry service has long been in
the prospect with the company, and it
was one of the first things thought of
when the new owners, headed by Chas.
D. Warren, the Canadian banker, took
charge.
The plan is to improve the service
5M that better dispatch may be obtain
ed in getting freight and passengers
across the river than is now possible.
and the company does contemplate.
just at present, ferrying cars back and
forth and transferring them from the
tracks in Algiers to the Belt to be
switch(ed to one of the trunk lines. But
this will come in the future, when
business has been built up sufficiently
to require it.
The railroad officials did not ask for
any particular location, and simply ask
ed for 500 feet of wharf space on both
the east and west bank, with the right
to operate a ferry and lighters between
the two wharves. The matter was re
ferred to the attorney and the engi
neer for consideration.
