Between Lafayette and Scott there
is short piece of private road which
shOrtens the distance between the two
towns somewhat, and over which a
great many people are accustomed to
travel. Besides saving some distance,
this private road has been long known
for its badness. 1t has been so bad
that recently several buggies have
capsized in bad hole, yet no one
seemed disposed to work it, until last
Saturday colored man by the name
of Clement Lawrance. moved by the
proper spirit, spent the day leveling
down with a spade very dangerous
part of the road, and filling a bog
hole that has been a menace to travel
lers for years. His public spirit is

the thanks of the public.

GOOD ROADS CONVENTION
Held at Courthouse Saturday and
System in Lafayette Parish
Discussed.
Resolution Adopted Advocating a
Change to the Contract System.
Employment of Road Super
intendent Suggested.

at the Good Roads meeting called
by the Police Jury to meet al
the courthouse Saturday. Presi
dent Billeaud, of the Jury, acted
as chairman and Prof. r. c.
Greig as secretary.
After a few Introductory re
marks, President Billeaud called
upon each member to give mum
ber of miles, cost per mile
method of working roads and
condition of same at present. As
the wards were called and
answers given, questions were
put by some of those present on
various points, thus bringing out
a complete description of the
present system of road working
and it's results.
The system which has been
followed by the Jury has been
practically to delegate to each
member entire control of the
funds and road working of his
ward, the Jury accepting as
final whatever each member did.
The results were shown to be
that in certain wards where the
Juror devoted considerable of
his time to planning, supervising
ard directing, the roads were
kept in excellent condition: but
in other wards, where the Juror
did not, the roads were poor.
During the discussion Mr.. F.
G. MOutOn made the suggestion
that a road superintendent: be
appointed for the whole parish
who would devote his entire time
to the roads. and that the road
working all be let out under
contract.
President Billeaud then de-
Tended the present system, max
ing economy the principal de-
fenSe; but overlooked the fact
that it was economical for the
parish only in that it required
gratuitOus services from the
Police Jurors, which should be
paid for. Mr.. BilIeaud willingly
and cheerfully gave his services,
which the citizens highly appre-
ciate; but as some J urOrs present
stated. they didn't have the time,
and couldn't afford to give the
attention Mr.. Billeaud gave.
Mr.. j. NickersOn took quite
an active part in the discussion.
Mr.. NickersOn is an earnest ad-
vOcate of good roads and has
considered the subject carefully.
At his request Mayor Caffery
read his System of a Board of
Works." published in The Ad-
vertiser April 13. After some
further discussion during which
it was brought out that between
$4,000 and $4,000 were spent
yearly on public roads and
bridges in the parish, DR.. F. j.
Mayer made an interesting talk
on roads and roadmaking, clos
ing by Offering the following
resolution, which was adopted
13 to II, some not voting, after
which the meeting adjourned:
Resolved, that it is the sense
of this meeting that the parish
should be divided into road dis
tricts, and that each district be
let out by contract to the lowest
bidder, who shall be required to
give bond for the proper per-
fOrmance of the work done under
specifications given by the Police
Jury; and that these contracts
be let out for four years: COM
plants in any road district to be
filed with the Juror in that dis
trict, by him to be filed with the
Jury at its next regular meeting.

The contract, which contemplates the cutting out of all curves and the shooting down of big bluffs, will entail an expenditure of over S200,000. Work on this contract will be com menced shortly. It is the object of the railroad company to get the roadbed in the caiion out of the reach of high water and prevent repetition of the trouble of last summer. The Santa Fe is also laying heavy steel through the cafions, and the old steel will pro- bably be used on the new branch roads in course of construction.
