kansas violinist, for the boarded
excavations are SO constructed that
they only hold water when there is
a superabundance on the earth and
in the surface of the earth. This
amounts to fifteen hundred and
ninety dollars. This amount is too
much to he used without law and
should call for investigation by a
people so heavily taxed as we are
by State, Parish and Corporation,
and this amount would have more
than paid the engine note. Then,
a contract for digging out "Red
Ditch'' was let, I believe for about
one hundred and forty dollars. No
one looked after the work, and the
contractor has been paid, and to my
certain knowledge there has not
been forty dollars worth of work
done on the ditch. These facts, to
say the least, show too little inter-
est in the affairs of the corporation
for the present fathers to presume
to ask to be retained longer in Of
flee. / must say there have been
two members of the Council who
have opposed the majority in these
expenditures,
Your correspondent says the
Hon. Mayor has been just and i'm
partial in fines, etc. Well, if he
has, let's take the contrary, for
most assuredly it would give great
er satisfaction to the greatest mum
bcrs, and while I do not believe
the old adage, coo oopesli, yor Del,
yet I do not take this people to be
entirely void of sense of right
and wrong.
Of a population of 5000 surely
Alexandria can furnish suitable
men to fill the offices. If mis-
take not the Charter says FIVE
councilmen are to be voted for, not
by Wards, but the entire voters Of
this corporation. Mr.. Editor, l
hope you will agitate this subject.
Let the people be aroused to q
sense of their duty to themselves.
Let us meet together, consult for
the interest of the city, and select
officers who will not only relieve
US of the present condition of af,
fairs, bat try to lend or extend a
helping hand to progress and the
future prosperity of Alexandria, so
favorably located for large CITY,

COMMUNICATION.
Mr.. Editor:

atoTy Oh tne PIeseiit Nasoi auu
Couucilmen of Alexandria; also
purporting to be the expression of
the sense of the citizens of this cor
poration. If the article was not
the offspring of one of the fathers,
I am entirely at a loss to know from
whence it sprung, for l have to hear
such expressions from a single citi-
zen of this unfortunate city, and l
have heard many express them
selves, and at those expressions
have heard many express great
surprise.
The time is rapidly approaching
for an election for Mayor and Coun-
cilmen, and it behooves the people
to bestir themselves and select off.
GERS who have regard to the inter-
est and welfare and knowledge of
and regard for the Charter, its
grants and privileges as defined by
the law. l would not on any con-
sideration deal unfairly with the
honorables. The years of 1882
and 1884 have called very heavily
for money expenditures in conse-
quence Of the extraordinary floods,
and l presume some three thousand
dollars were thus expended much
more than should have been done
if a little practical Judgment and
reflection had been used. The
lumber was taken from the levees
and almost entirely consumed by
the hauling, and in less than two
years had to be replaced by more
at like expense, and if we have
another great rise in Red river, are
We any better off than before this
heavy expenditures 1t was, I con-
TESS, necessary not only for the
Town but the Parish that the wa
ter should have been confined with
in the bed of tue river; and I am
free to say the Parish should have
paid an amount necessary for this
purpose, as the people within the
corporation are not granted any im-
munities fcom State or Parish tax
es, and had the water been let
alone the area of land that would
have been inundated would have
extended from the crevass in Alex
andria to the lower limits of the
Parish. Yet the peoples money
should have been expended with
judgment and view to future pro-
lection.
The taxes have been raised from
zero to the highest legal point.
The streets and bridges are in
worse condition than ever known,
save in the Third and Fifth Wards
i'm the Third the street leading
from the Excelsior Stable to the
T. and ?. Depot, and Third street
below the Morgan railroad to the
limits of the Town. Why there
was so much work done on these
streets and so little elsewhere is a
question | leave to the interested.
If l mistake not the Charter says
the monies of the corporation shall
be expended for the benefit of the
corporation only, and that there
shall not be more than one City
Constable, and each member of the
Council and the Mayor when sworn
