Bills have lately been introduced
into the legislatures of Wisconsin and
Minnesota authorizing the purchase
of about fifteen hundred acres Of
land bordering the St. CroiX river
above and below St. Croix Falls. The
tract includes the famous "Dalles of
the st. Croix." and is to be set aside
as an interstate park. The beauties
of this region are only excelled in
picturesque arrangement by the
Yellowstone itself, and that they
should be insured against the dis
figurement incident to blasting the
cliffs for road-making purposes, is the
sensible impulse of our people
generally.

are compelled to pause for reflec-
ton. 1t doesn't sound like the live
and active little journal OF a year
ago, which, in every instance, had
to say advantageous to
the city of Shreveport. 1t would
certainly be great load on the
citizens to have to buy a few plank
once every one or two years.
Compare the two parishes-Bos-
sier and Caddo, and then see who
should raise the most objection to
the change being made. Which
parish is more able to stand the
pressure? Would not Bossier have
to stand her part of these repairs
and building? Certainly she
would. But still we have, as yet,
seen nor heard of any objection
coming from her side of the water.
No, it is this, they are anxious to
have the change made, and are
ready and willing to bring their
produce over for the purpose of
marketing it and buying what
goods they may be in need of, but
they are not willing to come, with
the expectation of being halted
right in our gate, and be asked in
commandatory manner, "Hand
over your 25 cents or you can't
come to see u.s." or in other words,
..Give us 25 cents to help pay our
taxes, 50 that it wont be so hard
on our property owners over here"
"Again-the revenue from the
2 bridge tolls to the city, is derived,
e at least seven-eighths of it, from
non resident taxpayers, not the
citizens of Shreveport, SO that if a
. careful consideration of the matter
3 be given, our citizens will proba-
Y bly, see that "Free BRIDGE" while
n it might be of benefit to residents
of other parishes on the east side
of the river, would not prove ad-
vantageous to the interest OF
h Shreveport's taxpayers.

THE RED RIVER BRIDGE.

Noting that you have our city S 6
interest at heart, as has every cltl- {
zen who has the same views on the s
above question. OF course every
man has a right to his own opln-
ion-good, bad or indifferent-but
on a question of this kind we think
there should be no difference, as
the facts are too plain for contra
distion as to the good that may be
derived from adopting the plan OF
"free bridge !
notice in an evening paper OF
this city very weak argument IN
defense of maintaining the pres
ent system of revenue, which II
properly put would be in the Ian
guage of "a blockade and me-
mace to the city of Shreveport.
The idea of paper claiming to
advocate things to the best inter-
est of the city, and to bring up
such a question as they put out
in Fridays issue, is certainly sur
prising, not only to q few but the
multitude.
Think of having a toll bridge be-
tween us and one of the most fer
file countries in the State, and over
which many have to traverse IN
order to obtain the necessarles OF
life or for the purpose of transact
ing business, for which they have
to pay cents, if on horseback III
cents, but if in q wagon or vehicle
Is cents, the total Of which, II ne
has very much business, say COM
ing over twice or three times
week. will cost him from $50 to- STE
per year, which doesn't speak very
well for a community when it is II
it's power to overcome such disad'
vantages.
If the following is not of selfish
tone, the writer would like to know
in what sense it may be taken:
GAS it now stands, the revenue
derived by the tolls result in q con
siderable fund annually, and thu
city assuredly has use for ant
needs all the revenue it can acquir
outside of property taxation, an'
the "Bridge Fund.-" is an impor
tant factor therein"
Suppose that the outside worl
should, on visiting our city, con
tribute to it's treasury without de
irving any benefit whatever there
from.
Now just listen to the following
gust forced from forge of small
dimensions:
"Another, and important point t
the Shreveport taxpayers is the
the city has in connection wit
Bossier parish, of course, to pa,
for all the decking or plank roa
on the bridge and the repairs o
the approaches. In addition t
this they have to pay one-sevent

further reason for the changes than that
tlley had been made FOR the good OF the
service.
The shake-up was very much in the ma
ture of a surprise to most persons in the
District Building So far as is known, there
has been no general complaint from citi-
Zens. It's generally thought that Mr. Nc
Kenzie, VINO has grown old in the service,
has found that the arduous duties Of the
superintendent's office were too much for
him, and that the changes are consequent
upon this fact.
Nj. Mckenzie has been employed In the
streets weeping service for over eight
wears, of which he as servedthree as super
intendent. His record has always been
an entirely creditable one, and he was
promoted from q eierkship TO the head
of the office for merit. His reduction in
pay is rat her considerable, a the superin-
tednent's office pays 81, 500 year, while
the pay OF an inspector is only 81, 200.
Mr. StutIer, who becomes superintendent,
was born in Doddridge county, W. Va, in
1855 He came to Washington in 1889,
and first received an appointment as clerk
in the Pension OFFICE. Two years after
ward he was placed in a subordinate
position in the street cleaning service
and has since through merit risen step
by step to thu position which he now has.
