East Carroll Should Do Likewise,

The Times-Democrat says on the
movement of good roads by St. Ber-
nard parish:
The recent good roads convention
in New Orleans has borne fruit even
sooner than expected, for the neigh
boring parish OF St. Bernard declared
Monday by practically unanimous
vote in favor of levylng a five mill
road tax. The election was limited,
under the provision of the State Con-
stitution, to the property tax payers
of the parish, who with the exception
of two expressed their willingness to
be taxed in order to provide st. Ber-
nard with good roads. No parish
needs them more than ST. Bernard.
The United States government has
constructed a roadway to the
National Cemetery at Chalmette, but
with this exception the parish is bad
Iy provided with highways, so that
although it is close to the largest city
in the South, city through which
thousands Of investors and immi-
grants pass each year, very few of
them drive down,io ST. Bernard to
examine its attractions and advan-
tages and it might as well be hum
dreds of miles away from the city, it
is so difficult to drive through and
inspect it. With better roads it
might naturally expect thousands of
visitors from New Orleans every
holiday; but they go, as matter of
fact, to St. Tammany and to various
points along Mississippi Sound.
which, although further away in
miles, are nearer in point of time.
In other words, ST. Bernard is suf-
fering like hundreds of other parishes
and counties in this country from
lack Of good roads.
1t would be unjust to the people OF
st. Bernard to say that they do not
appreciate all that good roads mean,
and have not given the subject as
much consideration as the people OF
other sections. But what the con-
vention here showed, as the expe-
rience of all the States is, that good
roads cannot be built without money.
The old system of road service on
which the south has depended
almost wholly for the construction
and maintenance of its highways, has
proved complete failure. Good
roads cannot be got in that way, but
only by raising money, by bonds or
taxation. This will allow of i'm
proved machinery and the adoption
of the best methods, and is economy
in the end. 1t is in this way that
Massachusetts and New Jersey have
been so successful in their recent
building of highways.
The annual tax to be raised in St.
Bernard will enable that parish. to do
great deal of necessary work in ex-
tending such highways as the parish
already possesses, Tor instance, that
to Chalmette, and in the construc-
ton of needed new roads that will
give connection between all parts of
the parish, as well as unite them in
New Orleans. The plan pursued is
certain of success, and will bring st.
Bernard prosperity. 1t ought to
help all Louisiana also, for it has set
an example that the other parishes,
we believe, will soon follow.

The Madison Journal says 'sthe
circuit court of Mississippi has
rendered Judgment against Presi.
dent Nc Clellan of the Fifth Louis
lana Leyee Board in the sum of
$4,000. The damages were assessed
BY jury. This sum was claimed
by the Lake Bruin r. r. Company
for damages growing out of the re.
moval by the president the compan-
les tram road from the levee right
of way. The suit is one of great
Importance, involving the right to
sue officers of the Levee Board in
Mississippi, and is also involved the
question Of servitude due by indi
Viduals to the public for levee pur
poses. The judgment has been ap
pealed from and viii go to the Su
preme Court for hnal adjudication.
We believe that our Supreme Court
has decided exactly reverse from the
above decision rendered by this jury,
and that the Mississippi Supreme
Court will be Of the same opinion
as the Louisiana Court.
