that the parish should contract with

bidder by sections Of five miles Of
road with bond to be furnished and

pronounced Satisfactory by experts,
the payments to be made by the
parish quarterly, semi-yearay or
yearly - the case may be. We
have interviewed several gentlemen
from different parts of the parish,
and without An exception, they ex-
pressed themselves rs being favora-
bly, impressed with the wisdom and
practicability Of '.Cherokee's" plan.
Our police jurors, always dis
posed to do all in their power for
the welfare of their constituents,
have, upon different occasions, given
this matter good deal of their time
and attenaion, and it is but Just to
say that it is not through any fault
Of theirs that our public highways
are in such an impsaesicable condi-
ton.
The necessity Of good roads is APP
parent to every one. They are in
dispensable to the farmer, and the
merchant can not prosper without
them. No business man would al
low for q moment a mud hole or a
rut before his place of business
he could not afford to; how much
less can farmer afford poor, rough
roads AS a matter of business he
can not afford as well as can a mer-
chant 1t is a fact well established
that roads over which farmers carry
their produce to market return the
largest interest upon the cost Of
construction. A good road saves
from "a to Is to the farmer, and
oftentimes more, because in some
places the roads in this parish car
not be used at all. The only time
they are good is in the summer,
when the farmers are engaged with
their farm work. In the winter,
when they are needed the most,
they are an ocean of mud.
Our pride as well as our personal
interests demand that we make an
effort to remedy this evil. If 'tChe.
rokee's'' plan is not a good one, lei
some else suggest another plan thai
may be more feasib If we mus
have recourse to the present road
law, which has been ineffective in
the past, let it be enforced to the
letter. Something should be done
we trust that our Police Jury will
again give this vexetious question
their thoughtful consideration.
