instances deferred from buying in this
parish because they find our roads SO
bad and taxes SO high. These causes
We are informed, have prevented many
from making investments here. The
lands on Bayou Crosse Tete, are among
the finest, in the parish, and for the las,
few years they have been rapidly taken
up the planters from the other side OF
the river, and had it not been for the hor,.
bic condition in which they find the New
Road and the road to Crosse Tetc, every
winter, we venture to say there would
have been double the numbcr OF settlers
that there are at present. Much Of the
travel and business which would come
from Crosse Tete pow goes to Baton
Rouge by the Railroad, and if we d.,
not stir ourselves soon in this matter WI,
shall loose the entire business of Crosse
Tete greatly to the inquiry Of our mer-
chants here, at Pointc Coupee and a,
Waterloo.
We think it would be policy on the
part Of the Police Jury, and the parish
would be greatly benefited were these
two great articles Of communication de-
tacled from their respective road dis
tricts, and taken under the imned. ate
charge Of the Police Jury. The whole
expense Of keeping these roads in order
has to be paid eventually by them, and
they would save money by at once put
ting them in good condition and having
worked every year, VI whenever they
need it.
Money laid out by the parish in this
way would 0 o be repaid by the enhan-
eed value of lands and the additional
taxable property which would be brought
into the parish by new settlers. We
hope this matter will receive the earnest
attention of our parish authorities, for
we can assure them that the best means
Of developing the and advanc-
ing the interests of the parish is 10y
good roads and at1ording the
best means of communication to every
of the parish. We shall take
occasion to speak Of this matter again.

OUR PARISH ROADS.

We hope at the next meeting Of the
Police Jury. which will be on the first
Monday in March next, that our Parish
Roads will receive that particular and
careful consideration which the interest
affected by them demand.
Two Of the most important roads Of
the Parish-the New Road, and the road
leading from False River to Bayou
Crosse Tcte, are now, and have been. for
many weeks. almost impossible. Others.
such as the Fordoche aud Nc Phaul
roads are perhaps in an equally bad con-
dition but the travel on them is not 80
great, still the Inconvenience and ininry
to those who have to travel them is very
great.
1t is true, we have had o great deal
OF rain this winter, and the roads, on
leave land and such soil as we have in
this parish, must necessarily be bad !:
but they are in q worse condition than
there is any. canse for. This is caused
BY not having the Roads regularly and
properly worked. and kept in good order.
&c they were well and properly attended
to they would not be in the condition
they are at present, no matter how rainy
the season but instead of doing this we
let them remain for years without work
