etc. This taxation, though . great evil, ie
mparatively, but . minor one. Capital
lists and immigrants say, that our sectio,
has been abandoned by the State to thu
waters, and are frightened away. On
prosperity Is gone, and many OF our field
are waste. Twice in 1875, when the rive
below MOrganza was wholly within 1T
banks, except at very low places, has tn
water been against our levees and over on
unprotected lands; twice have our mail
outlets, the Baton Rouge and Red Rive1
Valley railroad and our dirt roads to False
river and Plaquemine, been overlooked
badly torn up and their bridges wasEet
away.
Nov in view of the natural value of oul
section, of it's cspability of protection, OF itt
prosperity when protected, of the damsgei
done US by being sacrificed for the safety q
other sections, of the Injustice in taxing
section thus sacrificed for the further good
of those sections for which we have already
been sacrificed, we ask your favorable con
sideration of our case, and that you Will ex
tend such relief as can easily be applied
and such as will at least give us some JUS
tice.
We further recommend that Marx Mayer
j. s. Matthews, L. G. Sparks, S. 7. McCra'
die and H. r. Shark, who represent the va.
rious interests of our district, be appointed
commissioners to carry out the provisions
of such bills for cur relief as you may deem
best to pass.
The memorial was read and referred to
the Committee on Lands and Levees.
