Is IT RIGHT

1t is not by any means a pleasant
task at any time to eriticise the con-
duct of public officials in any depart
ment of the State, but it is the duty
of faithful journalists to watch over
and zealously guard the interests OF
the section of country where they
exist. This Introductory reflection
is made necessary to what we propose
to say because of called meeting OF
the Police Jury Of our parish held
this week and what grew out OF 1t,
towit: resolution to borrow $4,000
to raise the levee in the Providence
reach to prevent the coming food
from running over.
The inquiry that Immediately
arises in the minds of the tax-pay-'
ers is: Why should the parish be
forced to adopt such embarrassing
measures for that particular piece OF
work? And why was that particular
piece of levee work left out by the
Fifth District Board when the letting
took place?
We know the cry of no money has
been raised by the Board, as an ex-
|
cuse for leaving that work to take
the chances of what is called "a
high water fight But what is
81 900 to such an important body in
comparison with the desperate chances
of "a high water fight" when the
danger is always imminent and the
dirt often, under the dlsadyantageous
circumstances, costs as much as two
dollars per cubic yard.
The Fifth District Levee Board
embracing the tier of four river par
ishes is beyond question an import
ant and responsible body corporate,
made so by the act of the legislature,
and it seems strange that when SO
many thousands as have this season
been expended by them for the same
kind of work, they should stop short
and take dangerous chances for thu
sake of such small amount as foul
thousand dollars! forcing the parish
of East Carroll to the front for self
protection when its treasury Is ex
hausted.
Is 1T RIGHT?
The taxpayers of East Carroll pa,
their 10 mills, 8 cents an acre ant
so cents per bale on all the cottol
raised for levee protection, and the.
naturally ask is it right that this ad
ditional burden should be places
upon their particular shoulders whel
the Fifth District Levec bonds ar
quoted in the market at So cents an
approaching in value, which bond
, exist 4, mortgage under the LAY
upon all the property in the district
The position the Police Jury OF GU
parish has been forced into by til
l Levee Board is not by any means
2 pleasant one in its present lmpecun
t Gus plight-to be compelled to reso'
t to borrowing money to provide for
protection that should have bee
otherwise afforded. will not in an
y way meet the approval of the tai
payers no matter how many excuse
may be made, for the. apparent nj
glcct and the naked question wi
still remain,
Is 1T RIGHT?
