Ochsner, who was Louisiana state chairman for the 1957 March of Dimes, was cited for his "leadership and ability as a coordinator and organizer in a drive that was far better than any expectations." Presenting the award was Norman E. Foreman and F. Owen Grace, north and south Louisiana representatives for the National Foundation, respectively.

Also present was Harry Potter of Jefferson, representing the National Foundation.

On the other hand, Winn parish authorities called trappers into that area when the southbound epidemic threatened to settle in Winn in the fall of 1956.

However, these plans are subject to change, Ribaudo pointed out. The official emphasized that building permits will continue to be purchased in the city hall office. This phase of the engineering operation was for some reason left in city hall. While, the move has relieved some of the congestion in the old municipal building, officials agree that it by no means completely solves the space --ogram. Mayor W.

George Bowdon Jr. has announced that it is his intention to work toward the erection of a new city hall during the next four years. The engineering department, 19 men strong, has been divided between the Thorn street barn and city hall headquarters for several years. In addition to the hazard conditions under which the irre-placable maps have been kept, there has been a coordination problem due to separation of the various sections of the department. Ribaudo predicted that with all of the operations under one roof, no such problem should exist in the future.

Now occupying the newly-remodeled structure are the two city survey crews, three street inspectors, who formally did not have an office, City Engineer Charles Cook, and various other sections. Engineering equipment, maps and data are stored in the structure. The building was made available several months ago when the Alexandria Public Library merged with the Rapides Parish Library. Tubaudo said that nj additional moves to the new buildings are anticipated in the near future largely due to the fact that the engineering department has virtually filled the building.
