The Fourth Ward met Saturday to nominate a candidate for Alderman and to push for city ownership of the water supply. Supporters argue sewers are needed and prices from the Water Works are excessive, urging relief through public ownership and future sewering. The column also reflects on Treas ury appointment practices and profiles E A Burke, a New Orleans Times Democrat figure, plus a Carlisle mason's recovery after an injury aided by Brown's Iron Bitters.
