A Levee Meeting.

The following resolutions favoring
the present levee system were unani-
mously adopted at levee meeting
held at Shreveport on the 7th instant:
Resolved, That we do hereby ex-
press our confidence in the levee
system as it is now in existence in the
Districts of Caddo and Bossier, and
pledge our support in furtherance of
the object for which they were cre-
ated.
Resolved, That while thus express
ing onrconfdence in the levee system,
we do not deem it advisable or just
to extend the levee system over other
parishes, except by and with the con-
sent of the majority of taxpayers of
the District to be incorporated.
Resolved, That we do by this earn
estly petition the Legislature of the
State at it's next session toamend the
acts incorporating the Bossier and
Caddo Districts so as to exempt from
the District levee tax all lands situat-
ed between the levee built by the
District and the river.
Resolved, That we express the op-
position of this meeting to the issue
by the Boards of the Cadde or Bos-
sier District of any amount Of bonded
indebtedness beyond the amount now
permitted by the law incorporating
the Districty, 100000.
