%he Road Law.

LII recent issue We cited in an arti-
Gle on the public road law of the parjsh
the case OF the parish of St. Martin ex
rel Baker, road overseer, VS.. p. Della
houssaye, reported in the Both annual.
we merely gave the syllabus of the de-
elsion of the Supreme Court, showing
that the road law enacted by the Po-
lice Jury was constitutional. We think
we could not do better, by way of urg-
ing this question of maintaining good
pubic highways in the parish upon the
attention of our citizens, than to quote
from the opinion in that case. Chief
Justice Manning was the organ of the
Court. The justice of the peace be fore
whom the case was tried, decided that
SAe ordinance of the Police Jury, under
which the fine was sued for, was uncon-
stitntional. Judge Manning said:
The Justice is in error. Police Juries are
authorized to pass all ordinances relative to
roads, and TO impose such fines and penalties
co enforc6 them ais they may think proper,
and these fines may be enforced by ordinary
process in the name of the Police Jury.
THE Police Jury of st. Martin passed an
ordinance requiring persons between certain
ages to work on the public roads and imposed
hslC Va ouC uulidE lOf GacL uay OF iallufe TO
work when required. The defendant incurred
the penalty denoneed by the ordinance after
having been duly summoned and he must pay
for his derelietion of public duty. One of the
surest tests of the civilization of country is
the condition of it's public roads. Years ago,
at the termination of that period when able
bodied men were needed elsewhere than at
home, there was good excuse for impassable
roads, but there is no good reason now why
those who are liable to read duty should not
be made to contribute part OF their time
and labor to relieving the country frcm the
reproach of having highways which are Il
danger to the Traveller and an obstruction to
| those who have to transport produce over
them"
