some eflicacious means OF saving the
lives Of our people. 3. We respectfully
but most earnestly Call upon the GOV
trnment Of the country as their first
and paramount duty to como 10, ward
and institute a system of reproductive
works to meet the impending crisis. 4
Among such works we would recon-
mend arterial drainage, the levelinQ OF
hills. the construction Of necessary aud
useful roads; and also the granting OF a
loan to distressed tenants who now
have Joint interest In the land fer the
purpose OF improving their holdings,
such loans to DO given on as cheap

relief we neither ask nor
consider desirable"
