Pointe Claire Drainage De-
fcated.

Last Saturday the vote was ia
ken in the Pointe Claire Drainage
District for the second time, and
for the second time it was defea-
ted. Two or three years ago the
matter was submitted to these peo-
pie, and they voted against taxing
themselves for their own good and
their own benefit.
Since the defeat of this tax the
people of that section of st. Mar
tin and Iberia parishes have suf-
'fered greatly for want of drainage,
and the people of that section have
seen their large and promising
crops simply scalded to death for
want of drainage. These lands,
comprising several thousand acres
ARE the very best lands in the
country, but they are low lands
and easily drowned by excessive
rains. And when such condition
exist, the crops of thsse lands are
complete failures.
The tax that was submitted to
the people Of that section was q
small one comparatively to the
good that would have resulted and
the increase in the value of these
lands.
The plan was to dredge Coulee
-Pointe Claire from the lake to the
Grand Marais and from the Pointe
Claire bridge up this way to the
public road, which would have
easily and completely drained the
entire section and give the people
along the line the facilities for ma.
vigation in the Coulee after the
dredging.
The parish Of st. Martin voted
IN favor of the drainage, but the
people of the Iberia side have
voted against. thereby defeating
this project for the second time.
Under these conditions We may
expect that it will be many years
before any effort is again made in
this direction, and the people in
that section will have to remain in
their present condition for years
TO come.

 Busy Night.

neighborhood of S40.000 The bond issue of S15,000 for high service was passed unanimously, but the SoO.O0O bond issue asked for to remodel the city hall went over for a week. Al derman Bergen thought the city could do better with the money and sug- gested a plan of vaults which was considered worth while Investigating.
 The mayor read q communication from Mrs Martha & Chase offering 10 donate the piece of land lying between Riverside cemetery and the Water. bury hospital to the city for park, the place to be known as the A. S. Chase park. On motion Of Mir Mur ray it was voted to accept the offer and that the mayor be authorized to convey to Mrs Chase the thanks of the city for her generous offer.
 Alderman Buck called attention to the anDlication of the Naugatuck Val ley Water Co.,. and said that if it should he granted it would carry with it sweening powers. He wanted to know if the city has any rights ill the river and if so what steps were being taken to guard them. Mr Beach moved that the city attorney be re- quested to enliobten the board on this question at an early date. MT Holmes suggested that q committee from the board be anDointed to innnire into this matter with the city attorney. This was agreeable to MT Buck and the batter went to the law committee. which consists of Aldermen Filling. Hewett and Tobin and the City At tornev. Nobody will know what this movement is until later on. Some looked upon it as d maDoeuvre in the irterest of the new "comnanv. while others said it was hut the preliminary steD to the hnttest kind of fight over the ownership of the Naugatuck riv- CT and its tributaries.

It was passed.
