ILL FFECTS
Of COLD SIAP
QUICkLT__OVECOME
Water Pipes Repaired in Record
Time in Almost All Residences.
If everyone had taken the advice
given in a circular which was sent
out a few weeks ago by Mr. Julius
Bodenger. there would have been
very few water pipes frozen and
burst during the recent severe cold
weather.
Careful directions were given in
the circular in regard to shutting
off of water and draining of pipes.
but. like the advice given by physi
cians concerning how we may keep
healthy the advice given by the best
authority on plumbing failed to im
press many of us. and, in conse
quence. the waterworks in several
hundred premises sustained more or
less serious damage when the freeze
came.
In the emergency many house
holders had to turn to and become
their own plumbers and, in this di
rection, Mr. Bodenger did every
thing he possibly could to help the
good work along. By furnishing
pipes cut to any desired length, and
fittings of all kinds, as well as by
lending to his customers the neces
sary tools. he was able to help oth
ers to help themselves and obtain at
least temporary relief. Even at that
it required the efforts of his several
men to supply the demand for cut
and threaded pipe.
,Mr. Bodenger has handled some
large plumbing undertakings in his
time, but he says he never before
had so many "working plumbers"
looking to him to furnish the neces
sary material and tools, and, more
over, that they were the most will
ing workers he ever had to deal
with.
Good luck to you. Bodenger. You
first tried to keep us out of trouble,
and then helped us out when we
got into it.
that he has returned to work after an
allness of two weeks.

118 AUTO LICEISES
OELAED El IIOUTE
Secretary of State James J. Bai
ley, who was in the city Saturday,
hopes the public will be patient over
the delay in receiving their auto
mobile license plates for 1918.
'"New Orleans should have re
ceived plates long ago," said Mr.
Bailey. "Several thousand were
shipped from Baton Rouge last Tues
day. They should have been here.
We have a large shipment tied-up
somewhere between St. Louis and
Baton Rouge and have been unable
to get them."
McNAIR AND HYMEL REMEM.
BERED.
Mr: Ed McNair, the dock master
of the New Orleans Dry Dock & Ship
SButllinl Co., and also Mr. Frank
Hymel, of the same firm were
remembered on Christmas, when
caulkers and carpenters of the dock
presented them with gold handled
umbrellas, and on New Year's Eve,
these popular gentlemen were again
surprised by the dock hands who
prypented each one with a gold
watch charm, with the insignia of
the Benevolent Protective Order of
Elks. It goes without saying that
these two gentlemen were not only
very much surprised, but they also
greatly appreciate the sentiment ex
p pressed in this presentation. Both
Mr. Mc.Nair and Mr. Hymel are well
I thought of by the employees of the
Dry Dock Co.

ALGIERS RESERVES LOST
T MSr-ISSISSIPI
The first round of the Aamateur
Baseball Association second half
of the winter series got on in good
style Sunday afternoon despite the
poor condition of the various play
ing fields throughout the city and
the unfavorable weather.
The Algiers Naval Reserves gave
the Trans-Missississippi team a good
fight for the honors in their meet
ing on the Naval Station diamond
but suffered a 4 to 2 defeat. A large
crowd of sailors and marines wit
nessed the sport.
Pete Maihles Is credited with the
two hits secured by the Reserves,
both triples, while the play of
Kenny at shortstop was as good
as an infielder in these parts has
. shown this season.
For the Trans-Mississippi team.
Arthur's pitching vied with the
go work of Brandt in center field. The
he latter player caught two drives to
the outfeld that would have gone
ýn, for extra bases and probably been
1e- the turning point in the game.

During the recent coal famine it
was almost impossible to secure coal
on this side of the river for any
purpose and like many other places
the Folly Theatre was entirely out
of coal, so in order to have a show
it was necessary positively to have
coal. An appeal was made to
Scharfenstein & Son, the big coal
k- dealers in the city, that in order for
ad the people of Algiers to enjoy a
?l, pieture show it was necessary to
m have a ton of coal at once. Mr.
he Scharfenstein listened to this appeal
ti- and while he did not have any coal
0- in his yard it was through his efforts
that cosa was secured and an imme
he diate delivery made so that those
l-. who patronise the show could go
leI there in comfort. TRH HERALD
joins Mr. Poto in extending sincere
thanks to Scharfenstein and Son for
their accommodation.

PREST. UMBACH CALLS
ATTEINTIO OF PROPERTY
OWNERS TO NEW PLAN
President U'nbach of the lioard of
Assessors calls attention to the new
plan of assessing under which theie
Board of State Affairs will fix the
per centum assessment for state pur
poses and the city council will fix it
for city nprposes next year.
Mr. Umbach urges the necessity
for all property holders to list their
property, both real and personal, at
its actual cash value for 1918.
Making returns of property at its
cash value will not mean that the
assessment will be at the figures
a named. as it may he assessed at
only 500 per cent. or whatever figure
the state and city each may decide
i for the assessment.
I The city coulncil will fix the per
cent this year. It, therefore., fol
lows that the greater total amount
of property found.l the lower the as
sessment will be.
It is pointed out that where pirop
erty holders make returns at less
than the cash value of their prop
erty they are not only violatiug the
law antl their oath. but are holding
down the gross amount of property
values. which will result in a higher
assessment.
Notices are being sent out by the
assessors to property holders to
make returns, and soon the assess
ors will be in the field to make their
own assessments.
Attention also is caled to the nec
essity of listing all personal prop
erty, including automobiles, pianos.
household furniture and other arti
cles. Personal effects not valued at
more than $500 are exempt from
taxation, but must be listed in the
returns.

our faith in the Liberty Bonds that
they are just as good as the silver,
gold or paper dollars.
Mr. Sonnemann's pet hobby is the
Dixie. He talks about Its good fea
tures all day long, and as he is a
convincing talker, he has little trou
ble in proving the fact that stands
behind his association.
