A GREAT NUISANCE. - The
bridge OF the railroad Oh the La
fourche, near Donaldsonvil!e, Is
Il costly nuisance to all those who
navigate the bayou, to say nos
thing of its annoyance to captains
and danger to fat and steam
boats. The dealers in coal charge
two cents per barrel on all coal
which passes the bridge for tug
hire, which operates as a direct
tax on the Consumers of that ills
dispensabIe article. And as we
consume annually at least three
hundred thousand barrels we pay
each year six thousand dollars ad
ditional on account OF the bridge.
The location of the pier seems to
have been made with malice
aforcthOught, to close the na>iga
ton of our beautiful stream.
When ever the public ascer-
talns by the decision Of the
courts to whom the bridge be-
longs, proceedings should be i'll
stituted to abate the nuisance.
Nothing but good pilots and great
good luck have prevented the
loss of hath0ats passing when
the bayou is full aud the wind
high. 1t is somewhat surprising
that our people should have re-
manned quiet so loug under this
mhiction, tor it applies with
greater force to the coal consul
mers of Lafourche who buy more
of it than we do.-Assumption
Pioneer.
1t is high time that the people
OF Louisiana and elsewhere were
awakening up on the subject O
water navigation generally.
The Pioneer justly attributes
the location Of the pier in Bayou
Latourche at Donaldson as the
otfspringo f'malice aforethought.
The whole intention of It's loca
ton was to interrupt as much lis
possible, if not to completed,
shut off steamboat and water ma
vigation. It is public nuisanc,
that ought to be removed.
Railroads are good institution,
but water navigation is lntinitel.,
superior aud should not be inter
fered with to accommodate theil
interest or whimS. There was nc
use in placing the pier in the Ger
tire of the stream, and only ma
: lice or stupidity could have plac
ed it there.
