Conductors Should
Use Common Sense
PUT OFF STREET CAR; MISSES
T. P. TRAIN; CONDUCTOR
HAS NO CANGE.
Sunday morning Mr. Tony Con
neno of 521 Lamarque St., boarded
a street car with two heavy grips on
his way to Gretna to catch a T. & F.
train. In his rush from the house
he had neglected to take small
change to pay his fare. He tender
ed a five-dollar bill to the conduc
tor, and as the conductor had no
change. Mr. Conneno was compelled
to get off the car.
While we understand it is part of
the franchise that the company is
compelled to furnish change to the
extent of $2.00 only, we feel reason
ably sure that Mr. Burgis of the Rail
way Company would have forgiven
this conductor for carrying the man
to the depot and trying to get change
there. The company or conductor
would have been out but five cents
and it would not have caused the
great inconvenience and disappoint
ment.
Rules are rules, but common sense
and good judgment are always re
warded.

Hennen Block Now [
Canal Bank Building
It wasn't so many years ago that 1
the Hennen building was built and
the wise men of the city wagged
their heads and said even so modest
i skyscraper as this could never be
t commercial success in New Orleans.
But it has had to be enlarged, to
neet the growing demands of the I
:ity and of the Canal Commercial
bank, which purhacsed it for its I
uew home.
.The enlargement was accomplish
ad by addition of another story,
building of an annex and the bridg- 1
ing over of Varieties Alley to con
sect with the old Cora building. The
total cost of the work is about $660,- 1
00. This does not include the cost
Af the banking fixtures.
The transition of the Hennen build
ing into the up-to-date Canal-Com
mercial building represents not one
,peration but a series of operations.
First the old hydraulic elevators

electril elevators. One by one they
were converted, and extended to the l
!leventh story. Then corridors were
nit through the main Hennen build- 1
ing and bridged across into the Cora
uilding. The first floor of the
,ora building had in the meantime I
)een prepared for conversion into
he new boiler room.
Then bathrooms were put on every
foor instead of being concentrated
n the eleventh story; a new system
,f plumbing was put in and the!
iulding was completely re-wired for
electrical fixtures.
With this done, it was possible to
proceed to construdtion of the an
nex on the Oravier street side. An.
excavation was made foiF the base

walls erected,. and the tedious work I

RESIDENTS ARE GRATEFUL FOR
ENFORCEMENT OF CATTLE
ORDINANCE.
A public effort was made a short
time ago by a few residents down
the coast and other outlying sections
to have the city "set aside" the pres

passed Sept. 5th, 1917, but only en
rorced since the O. D. A.'s have been
in office.
Mr. Geo. Ricks, the new pound
keeper, is doing excellent work and
the residents of Algiers who are
making an honest effort to improve
the appearance of our district, are
grateful to Mr. Ricks and our police

EX-SALOON KREPER ARRESTED
WITH TWO BOTTLES ON
HIS PERSON.
A few days ago C. D. Terrebone
of 405 Pelican Ave., an ex-saloon
keeper was arrested by Prohibition
officers for the violation of the Vol
stead Act. When arrested, Terre
bone had on his person two bottles
of whiskey and a small drinking
glass. The arrest was made some
where near the river front, and it
was necessary to give chase as Ter
rebone made an attempt to get away.
At headquarters Terrebone made
a statement that he had been engag
ed in the business for about three
months, and that he was selling the
stuff at thirty-five cents a drink.
Besides the liquor recovered, there
was also a small book in which
Terrebone kept the accounts of
those who owed him for drinks.
Terrebone who was being held for
the Federal Authorities, was paroled
by Major Haltin, chief prohibition
officer.

encouraged by the officers to attend
further instructions at a technical
school, where she will go in a short
time to complete the course that Is
given to beginners in the sale of life

the Blelt Railroad along our riv-r
front. Mr. Lawton pointed out that
our great port facilities could be in
creased very greatly by building
whirves in Algiers where ships could
discharge and take on cargoes either
from shore or from lighters. It is
stated that M.r. McClosky is very
much in favor of the plan. Ir.
Lawton also took up the matter of
extending the present bulkheads
and piling which were recently con
structed at the ferry landing to the,
Johnson Iron Works, joining their
wharf, thus giving further protec
tion to the "Algiers Point." Mr.
Lawton will also go before the Levee
Board at its next meeting to urge
the board to help in this work.
MALONEY TO AIfDRESS ALGIERS
CITIZENS LATER ON.
STILL STANDS FOR MUNICIPAL
OWNERSHIP.
In replying to a letter of Invita
tion from the Algiers Civic League.
to address them on the subject of
ov ferry service between this and
the other side of the river, Commis
sioner Paul H. Maloney writes the
'ollowing letter which speaks for it
self:
Com. Council, Dept. Pub. Utilities.
February 19, 1921.
Mr. Peter Lawton,
New Orleans, La.
Dear Sir: Your letter advising of
a meeting of Algiers citizens in re
the new ferry franchise, and their
invitation to have me address them
on the subject, has been received.
The invitation to address those in
terested is duly appreciated; how
ever, I don't think it quite proper at
this time for me to accept. If you
will permit a suggestion. I would say
this-let your committee investigate
very thoroughly all conditions per
taining to the ferry proposition, de
cide what method or plan would
best suit your people, and then con
fer with this department. I assure
you I will be'very glad to cooperate
in the plan that will be substantial
and best suited, and when that is
decided upon, we will proceed to its
adoption.
My personal opinion at this time
is municipal ownership- a ferry and
its benefits for a ferry-using people.
However, that is only my opinion.
I shall be very glad to have your
Ideas on the matter as soon as you
are prepared to give them.
Very truly,
Paul H. Maloney,
S Com. of Public Utllities.
