OPELousAs. Sept 10, 1892
To the Honorable Board of Police of the
Town of 0pelousas:
Gentlemen.-I respectfully and earnestly
protest against the proposed survey of the
town for the following reasons viz:
1st. Because you have no AUTHORITY
whatever to order such a survey. The
Courts, in suits Instituted by owners, may
order surveys to be made, but you have
no such authority.
thority, the data for such survey is not to
be had-there is no map of the town, nor
has there been any map of the town, or
any one of its various additions, that can
furnish any reliable information in regard
to the matter.
3rd. Because of the expense of said pro-
posed suryey-whieh would be an absolute
waste of the public money devoted to it
say waste of four or five hundred dollars.
4th. Because such survey being made
absolutely without authority, would not
have any binding force on any owner of
land. If it gave him more land than he
thought he had he might be willing to ac-
cept it, but surely if it took away from him
any land he would soon ascertain that the
survey was not binding on him.
Resdectfully yours,
GEORGE Q. ELMS.
Whereupon motion of Mr. Latreyte, duly
seconded, the mayor was ordered to pro-
ceed in having the town surveyed as here

win the dawn at last
Our famished souls nnd freedom from this

FORESTS NEEDED.

The destruction of property by the
floods IN the great rivers that Wend
their way with more or less sobriety to-
ward the gulf is estimated at s5O,O0O,-
600 this season. This represents the
loss on existing property, and not that
due to the impossibility of growing
crops. 1t has been usual to class the
devastations by flood with those due to
cyclones and forces that have not vet
been put in subsection to human con-
troll. But this is coming to be realized
as fossil notion, not in line with the
masterful spirit and growing perception
of the methods of nature. 1t is believed
the time will come when it will be a re-
Election on the providence and wisdom of
man. and not slipin supernal admins
tratiOn, if the great streams are allow ed
to diStend themselves and ravage the
community as they have of late. 1t is,
however, coming to be understood that
the levee system can not be made effect
i've. The expense of erecting and keep
ing these embankments in condition has
been enormous. Most of the vast ap-
preparations for river improvements In
the South have gone into these levees.
The best engineering skill has been
utilized, land still the water finds its way
through or over them. 1t is an enor-
nous waste of public funds. Some new
and more effective system is GER
tainly demanded. 1t is urged that the
channels might be deepened so as to
accommodate the dangerous waters, but
that is not given much consideration. 1t
would probably be pouring the public
moneys into the water as uselessly as
into the levees. The hopeful methods
are to provide outlets for surplus waters,
and reproduce forests in the regions
that start the foods Oh their destructive
way. 1t is insisted that torrents do not
originate in region of forests. An ex-
ample of this sort of experience is
referred to in France. In 1855 the
floods that came down the French
Alps deluged a large part Of
