The Legislature, now in session,
should pass a road law that will be
Of some effect in this State.
Those passed of late years have
failed to procure good roads and
have been more of burlesque than
anything else.
There is one section that should
be in every road law that may he
adopted, that is: to require every
land owner to give free and sufi
cient drainage for all water that
may accumulate in the road on his
front, and to give summary power
to the Road Inspector to have the
necessary bitches cut at land own
er's expense, when hefails to do 80
himself, aud to enforce payment Of
the same by quick process.
The roads in southern Louisiana
are a shame and a disgrace to any
people, and in saying this We are
aware that four ffths of the people
do make, and will keep roads in
good condition if the other fifth are
made to do the same.
Hence, summary process should
be had to enforce the construction
OF good roads, and not permit a
few careless or contrary persons to
have impossible mud holes on their
front.

our people spend thousands Of dol
