Sena t6r Ransdell accepted as being en tirely beneath t(1 administration. "The yard during the past year has been doing considerable work for tke United States Shipping Board and the army. The number of em ployes to be continued in the employ ment at the navy yard at New Or leans will depend to a very large ex tent on the amount of work assigned to that yard by the governmental activities." Prior to the war, namely June, 1916, the number of employes at the New Orleans Navy Yard numbered 221: at the present time the payrolls of the station number approximately 1050 employes in all. This consti tutes an approximate increase of 400 per cent within the last five years. The activities of all navy yards are being reduced since the war com mensurate with appropriated funds available and the demands made byl the fleet upon individual yards. The development or reduction of the force at a given navy yard depends to a very large extent on a preconceived plan of bases to accommodate ves-: sels of the fleet. At present time the fleet requirements for the navy yard at New Orleans are limited to the repair work on small naval ves sels stationed within the Gulf and the Caribbean. It is not contem-i plated, to make any change in the allocation of forces to the navy yard at .New Orleans. With regard to the petitlon of the emp~gyes of the Naval Station, Sec retary Denby stated that it had been carefully analysedLby the dap-prtmet .',d a statement covering the situa tion reduced to writing.

I ,1 r ' a`IfI :;i Metal Trades Workers Accept Wage Slash The metal trades strike involving 2000 employes of the foundries, ma chine shops and big repair plants in New Orleans came to an end Friday when an agreement on a wage ad ust ment was reached by representatives of the employers and of the crafts men. The men accepted the wage Eut to 80 cents for mechanics and 50 cents for helpers. Work was re samed Monday. The strike began nearly two months ago when the operators put into effect reductions in wages from 90 cents to 80 cents an hour for me chanise and from 60 to 50 cents for helrýrs. After a long period of negotiations the end of last week' found the ques tion of helpers' wages the only bar to an agreement. Unable to settle on a figure for these, however, all conferences were broken off. Frl day another conference was arranged and the union representativel lac cepted the proposed uet.

OWNS IROC~SDIBW HOTEL' It is *ith considerable amount of pride to as and justice to the man, when we anaosau that one of our former Algerines who left here a few years ago as a mere boy, is now the owner of the R'eckafellow Hotel in Hot Springs, Ark. This young hotel proprietor is Win. Howe, the son of our late Wm. Howe, who for so many years was at the head ot the post ofice in Algiters. Many 'of our tows people visit Hot Sprihts, and it is well, worth while to look ap their townsman when they go to that In terasting little city.

To the Honorable Andrew J. Mc Shane. Mayor. and Members of the: New Orleans Commission Council.' City. Gentlemen:- Your undersigned petitioners would most respectfully represent: There has been recent-i ly organized at a mass meeting in .11i-rs. the Fifth Municipal District. a citizens committee having for its Purpose the prosecution of a cam paign for a better ferry service be- t tween Algiers and the foot of Canal Street. This committe- hae already made Sc,nTilerable progress in this work. I notaTbly through the active co-opera- I tion of Honorable Paul Maloney., (Commissioner of Public Utilities, and I that of Mr. John Klorer, City Engi-)t neer, through whose efforts a bill, providing for Municipal ownership t of ferries has been reported favor- 1 ably by a committee of the Constitu- I tional Convention now in session. We have reason for assuming that should Municipal ownership not ob tain. your honorable body would be disposed to sell the expiring fran chise of said Canal Street- ferry to the highest responsible bidder who would agree to have the amount to be paid for said franchise utilized " entirely for the necessary boats, pot toons, houses, etc., said betterments to revert to the city at the expiration of his lease. It has recently come I to our knowledge however, that the Board of Port Commissioners have I contracted for the erection of an ex tension of the Poydras St., shed, I which extension would reach to - S. I. Cafiero Sells Ice Piat WALLACE TROWBRIDGE IS NEW tI PRO -SPRiB o The sale of the Cafiero Ice Plant on Homer St., took place a few days ago, the transfer being effective May 1st. The purchaser, Mr. Wal lace Trowbrldge, formerly conducted an ice business in Eunice, La. Mr. Trpwbridge, his wife and son will become residents of Algiers, asd we. welcome them to this section of the I town. Whether or not there will be any material change made in the plant could not be ascertained at the pres ent time. Mr. Trowbridge is staged to be a practisal man in this busl ness. The value of the plant is es timated between $40,000 and $50, 000. Mr. Sidney L. Cafiero, former own er, will no doubt retiee after a good many years of strenuous work build ing an industry that made him suc cessful. APPEAR BEFORE COUNCV At Tuesday's meeting of the City Council, Peter S. .Lawton and Dr. C. V. Kraft were given a hearing In ,con nection with the objection of the Algiers people to the obstructioen of Canal St., at the river by the balld ing of wharves across the only open space in the city of New Orleans along the river front. The two Al -giers men pointed out the different objections of placing a wharf across the end of Cana 1St. ft was decided by the council to take up the matter at once and make investigations. PIRE.

Assuming that the ships would occupy this additional space, this would bring said ships to within 12 feet of the bow of the ferry as she lies when secured to her pontoon. ltesolutions oplposing the project ed water encroachment which would not only seriously hamper the opera tion of the ferry but would endanger the lives of her passengers as well, were presented by this committee to said Board of Port Commissioners at their meeting of April 26th, 1921. At said meeting said committee was assured by said Board, however, that when the time arrived, ample space would be provided for said ferry operations. We feel that the river front space necessary for the proposed larger boats which in any event will bý utilized for said ferry purpose, shout be definitely, officially fixed at th" time. We feel that considering the improved service proposed, the de tails of which can be readily sup plied, should not be less than 300 feet instead of the 200 feet presently allotted to this ferry in its existing franchise expiring on December 31st,. of this year. As taxpayers and citizens whose every interest is affected by the char acter of this ferry service, we have adopted this means of appealing to your honorable body as custodians of the franchise of said ferries, to intervene in this matter requesting the Board of Port Commissioners to officially set aside, at this time, a 300 foot water space for the future needs of said Canal Street ferry ser vice. Respectfully submitted, THE UNDERSIGNED PETITIONERS.
