Louisiana to-day that is doing as
much looking to the good of the
public roads as is the parish of
St. Mary. IT'S true our roads are
in bad condition now. This con-
dition was brought about by a
long spell of rainy weather, when
to work the roads was an impos-
sibility. With the money which
the Police Jury has appropriated
for this purpose, and the charac-
ter of the man who has been placed
at the head of this department.,
we can reasonably look for splen-
did roads within very short time.
AS far as the public schools are
concerned, We merely desire to
call the attention of our people to
the fact that one-third of every
dollar paid into the parish treasury
by taxation is budgeted by the
Police Jury to the school fund.

APPROPRIATION VETOED.
Not Likely That City VIII Give Cali
fornia That $4,000.

Again has Mayor Thompson vetoed
the appropriation of $4,000 made by the
city council for the San Francisco re-
lief fund The council, In an endeavor
to overcome the legal objections to the
appropriation, made the money payable
TO tho local relief committee to pro-
vide for the destitute and needy within
our midst. It was thought the money
could thus be used FOR providing for
refugees passing through the city. city
Attorney Hiles stu holds that the city
has no legal right to appropriate the
money for such a purpose. Acting In
accordance with the opinion OF the at
torney. the mayor again vetoed the APP
proprlation. There il little possibility
that the money will be appropriated
over the veto, hence Salt Lake City Will
not be able to help the San Francisco
sufferers at all.

George Crismon, president OF the
Utah mine, residing Vt Eleventh East
and Twelfth South, has been following
the stories of the San Francisco disas-
ter printed in the News with unusu-
al interest possibly owing to the fact
that he witnessed the destruction of the
business district OF san Francisco UNI

sion Dolores at the time the fire broke
out and rode to the scene on a horse.
San Francisco had no fire fighting APP
paratus at that time, and practically
all the business section was DESTROYED.
J can remember the efforts Of the res
idcnts to head Off the flames, The most
effective way was to soak blankets In

this fashion a number Of buildings we're
saved. In other cases buildings We're
blown up with black powder. Owing IN

hauled away, and the fire losses result

those days"
In connection with this hrst big call

interesting comparisons 90 be drawn
when II comes TO the way in which tho
ncws was handled.
The earthquake and fire OF April 49,
1906 was recorded in the Deseret News
and the papers were on sale on the
streets by noon ON the day Of the dis
astor. BY evening residents In the out
lying settlements throughout the state
read oc the horror and were clamor-
ing for more details.
