Besolution Defested.
Commissioner Maloney an4 Mayor
McShane opposed the resolution at
this time in the absence of any defi
nite statement from the Dock Board.
They said it would be the proper
courtesy to take the matter up with
the Dock Board and to obtain a defi-,
nite statement. Mr. Black said he
had no objections to a reasonable
delay. On a vote on the resolution
it was lost. Mayor McShane, Com
missioner Black voting to hold the
matter open for a day until Mr. Hud
son can be reached. Com missiorers
Ray and Murphy voted for the reso
lution.
Mr. Donner said the best proof the
Dock Board has not changed its plans
is that they are rushing the agree
ment with the coffee peQle and
that it will be signed as soon as it
is completed.
Commissioner Murphy said the
Green Coffee Association has been
trying to put this proposition over
for three years and if there is any
delay in the opposition the protes
tants will lose.
At the request of Commissioner
Maloney. City Engineer John Kiorer
made an investigation of the ferry
situation and the needs for the ser
vice. After an investigation and with
his intimate knowledge of the situa
tion, Mr. Klorer sent the following
letter to Mr. Maloney:
"I have your letter of the 8th inst.
with reference to the ferry landing
at Canal street.
"It is a well-recognized fact among
steamboat men that the foot of Canal
street is a very vexatious and diffi
cult landing to make during bank
full and food stages of the river, on
account of a strong eddy that extends
at times from Conti street to about
JulB street. I have frequently seen
this eddy running so strong as to
cause the ferry to miss. Its landings
when the boat was under the direc
tion of unquestionably able and ex
perlenced pilots.
"The troublesome factor is the va
riable character of this force which
changes ia degree within a tow mie
Oterr,. As: lbe d ad tie i. r.
and In coatending with it, the pilot
snceessbtlly lands his beat by rely
lag as much on his Instiect aad
Judgment to estimate its fore* as he
relles on his steering skill.
"This being so, he should not be
cramped for space, as he has to make
a landing while proceeding in a di
rction parallel to the beak, as dis
tinguished from the usual quartering
dirsetion that obtains in askting
ether ladlgs. avling in mind the
frequent misses made id attempted
sandings. I should not consider it
infe to have less than 150 feet clew,
space ahead of his landing place,
which will give the pilot less than
a minute withlin which to steer away
from the wharf line, or away from a
vessel tied at the wharf line. It
two landngs are to be operated at
Canal street, I should Judge a mint
map trntnge for fteary purposes of
-4-O e should be provided for.
'efrequency of landings at this
s p~ in day time and at night,
Irrespective of wind, sand other ad
verse weather conditions, in order to
mntatn a schedule---the large num
ber of passengers carried on these
boats, probably 12,000 per day--and
be difficult river conditions herein
eferred to, all point to the advisa
biUty of providing ample space to
hermit easy and safe access .to, and
ik r otre trom the ferry pontoon.
"!t is mg opinion thmt the above
reservatlona for space are not exces
dye or unreasonable."
Monday morning at 8:15 the

WILL ALSO BE TAKEN UP.
On Monday night the Algiers Play
ground will be the scene of a great
mass meeting by Algiers people to
protest against the delay of the
Southern Improvement and Ferry
Company I nerecting the necessary
bridges for pedestrians' use in going
to and coming off the ferries. Pro
etst will also be made against the
use of the present wagon gangway to t
be used in oonjunction with pss
sengers, that it is feared by many t
that this bridge which was construct

of two and three ton trucks, is not of E
suffleient strength to guarantee
safety to the passengers.
At this muss meeting the subject
of closing Canal St., at the river by
enormous steel sheds will also be
taken up. It will be pointed out to
the public that the erection of these
steel sheds will prevent the evratla I

MENT DUT. C
J. H. nson. Jr., acting collector C
of internal revenue, announced Sat
urday the second installment of in
come tax for 1020 is due and must
be paid by Junes 15. Taxpayers have a
beea mailed noices showing amounts
due, but Nr. Hynson said failure to
receive a notice is no excuse for non
payment.
"Taxpayers who neglect to make '
pe~aeat of the seeoqd installment
by June 15 are advised all income a
tax owned by them for 1120 becomes
due, and they thereby lose the advan
tage of making quarterly payments.
Besides this, they make themselves
liable to a dve per cent penalty on
the second installment, which is due
by June 15. and one-half of one per
cent interest per month."
