Coat of Arms |
|
|
In a news article of this date it is recorded that a Coat of Arms was approved by the Commission Council. Agitation was first started when the Association of Commerce suggested that the present City Seal (depicting an Indian and an alligator) be discarded and a new one created. This was opposed by the Louisiana Historical Society which wanted the Seal kept intact. A compromise was reached by agreeing to keep the seal for use on legal documents, and a Coat of Arms created to be used on letterheads, etc. A Coat of Arms was designed by P. H. F. Follet, of the Middle Research Department of Tulane University which was agreed upon. (A description of this design is contained in the news article.) |
