VOL XXIX MAY 19, 1921 No. 2 DESTROYING A CIVIC CENTER. The closing of the head of Canal Street by the Dock Board with un sightly steel sheds is a matter of grave importance that should be taken up at once very seriously by commercial bodies, civic organizations and the citisens on both sides of the river. On Tuesday of last week Mr. Peter S. Lawton and Dr. C. V. Kraft started a movement when they appeared before the Commission Council to enter a protest from the Algiers standpoint against the erection of this shed, for the reason that it would not leave sufficient ferry space for the ..present and future accommodation of transportation across the river; that It would destroy the only available open space where visitors might view the Mississippi River from the business section of the city where most all visitors come. It was pointed out that this large open space has always bee a civic center for mass meetings, celebrations, etc. It marked the land lag place of the king of the Carnival. The erection of an unsightly steel "shed at this point will destroy one of the most popular and valuable neutral grounds in the central part of the city. The closing of this big open space Is to be considered mach more seriously than if the Dock Board attempted to build a steel shed or some other warehouse in the center of Lee Circle, Jacks or Lafayette Square or any other central neutral grounds. Surely, our Dock Board has not lost its sense of civic pride in its great efforts to build sheds for the accommodation of a large corporation. It is necessary that other civic bodies come to the front at once to make every effort to stop the destruction of so valuable a piece of ground. SThET RAILWAYS HERE AND OTHER PLACEBS. Durnlag the past few years The Herald has said some hard things amst the service and equipment of the New Orleans Isilways Co., and e-peially were we very severe in our criticism of the Louisiana Ave. car Ute, but since visiting some of our Eastern Cities and paying especial at batot to the price of fares, equipment and conduct of the men on the irs.we have come to the conclusion that New Orleans with its eight cent .r fare and free transfers is away ahead of many of our Eastern cities n giving our citisems service. Ia New York City where the fare is still five cents, there is posted in sll abway ears the announesment that the present fare of five cents is saJIsst to moet the Iuterest on the bonds, notwithstanding the fact tre mbways are owned by he city and operated in partnership with --kpeatlsa. The burface cars are dirty and slow and apparently oper iiwrh the intettio of disouragling their use. kr Claie ati the fare is eight and one-alf ceats. The cars are 1 sps, sand the srviee during rush hours is net to w joke. s Buffaleo, Philadelphia, Louisville. Memphis, and other large cities., Sbhad bes greatly advanced and there is no evidence of new roll steek. The ears are pictures of previous hard service. f eass of Washingta, are much better than ia say of the other 1 the o 1th. Here the ear fare is seven and one-half cents, that is l yes buy their tkeas which are sold, four for thirty cents.

Yurs truly, OILKD SWIPES. day is fast saining in favor over the old method of painting, Mr. H. L. Boyle, manager of the Auto Painting and Enameling Co., pioneers in this business in New Orleans, yes: "Automobile owners are awaken ng to the advantage of baking enam el on faded fenders and hoods. The hot summer months are especially severe on the surfaces of these parts of the ars when the paint Is simply applied, and in a short time the lustre is entirely gone, but'if the enameling is baked on it it wIII hold its lustre five times as long. I am pleased to pote that there is an increasing de mand on the part of New Orlesas auto owners for eummelin baked fenders and hoods." The Autp Painting and Enameling Co., Messrs Boyle & Cowgill, Props., is located at )4 Julla street. They are prepared to turn out Jobs prompt. 7, and of course there is a guarantee .with all work. They paint with pride to the fact that fifty per cent of the dealers and paint shop proprietors are their customers, and they only ask that you "consult your dealer or pointer. He knows."
