10 my last article on this subject
spoke of the faults of our present
road system. In this, shall try to
point out better plan than thgt
now in vogue.
Stop the expensive and unsatis~
factory method of making and re-
pairing the roads by direct labor tax
and in place Of it, contract with res.
ponsible parties who must give bond
Tor the faithful performance of their
contract) for the building and mains
tenance Of our roads and bridges for

money in the purchase of the neces-
sary machinery. Such contractor to
be paid in cash from the parish
taxes.
At present every able bodied man
of this parish is subject to II days
work each year upon the public
roads. The poor laboring man pays
the same as the largest property
owner, with the exception oil q small
appropriation made by the police
jury from the regular tax.
Where is the man unjust enough
to uphold law that compels the
poor men of our parish to build
roads that develop the property Of
the nonresident spectators. They
who have bought up the vacant land
of our parish for q song and are
holding it until the actual settlers
shall have improved the country,
built roads and drained the land and
and thereby made it valuable ? I
say tax the nnimproved land as high
as that which is improved, compel
these spectators. resident or non
resident to pay their just proportion
of the cost of improvements.
The company represented by J. B.
Watkins owns nearly 100000 acres
of land in our parish, bat they do no
work on the public roads. We ress.
dents of the parish are making their
land more valuable each year and
they derive the benefit without cost.

THE TELEPHONE PoIEFELL

And Striking Negro Named viii
tiams, Injured Him So as to Lay
Him up for Some Time.
Several workmen employed by
the Telephone company were rails.
Ing fitvy. foot telephone pole
in place of one that had
been burned by the fire, yesterday
afternoon at about 4:30 O'Clock, when
one of the braces twisted to the side
and let the pole fall on the sidewalk.
Mr.. Fowler, who was in charge of the
workmen, threw q heavy uprightun-
der it to save any one from being
caught under it and getting mangled.
Isaac Williams, negro, who vol.
unteered to help raise the pole, WAS
not quick enough In getting away
from the falling pole and was caught
on the shoulder by it and then thrown
violently against the newly erected
fence about the open cellar left by the
fire.
Several men ran to his side, but
when he attempted to raise he fell
back in fainting condition. A cot
was soon brought and he was taken
60 YarbrOugh's drug store, corner Of
West Houston and Soledad streets,
where medical treatment was soon
called in and the man was attended
in the best possible manner. The
physicians attending him were DR..
Hays and DIR. McDaniels.
At first it was thought that his
spine was broken, but an examination
showed that II was not, the only
fracture being that of q small bone at
the joining of the hip and the spine.
Several nerves aBd"tmuscles were
strained by the exertion caused by
the weight of the pole falling on him.
The doctors said he would be out in
week.
After receiving medical attendance
he was taken to his home on San
Saba street near the corner of that
street and Chavez street.
He was not in the employ of the
telephone company, but they will see
that he gets proper treatment during
the time he is laid up.
