WILL FIGHT THE TAX.

We learn. reliably, that many
of the planters residing on the
banks of the Teche, have organ
lied and raised q large fund to op-
pose the collection of the Cypress
Island drainage tax which was
voted last week.
Those people are fighting this
tax on one of the grounds of taxa
ton without representation. The
line of the district was made the
railroad track which they claim
takes nearly all their lands and
deprived them of their right to
express their wish for or against
the tax. They are Of the opinion
that the Teche was not made the
line of the drainage district sim.
ply to disquslify them.
The people Of the Teche who
will have to pay for this tax which
they say has been imposed upon
them against their will and with
out allowing them to participate
in the election have formed 1.-THE
Cypress Island Anti Election Lea
que" and have employed Counsels
to fight this tax to q finish.
This suit will be watched with
. great deal of interest, a. it is q
matter of much importance for
this section. The good that was
expected of this drainage is great
and it is matter Of great concern
to the Cypress Island section.
which must be drained, or the peo-
pie living there must leave their
homes. The lands there are the
most productive of the parish in
dry seasons, but in heavy rains
are completely overlooked and the
crops there were entirely lost. two
years in the last three years.

WANT PROTECTION.

The people of st. Martin parish
have been paying levee taxes since
1890 and have been receiving no
protection from that source. Late
ly the Atchsfslsya Levee Board
has constructed q levee on the
East side of the Atchsfslsya Ri
YER which is throwinSs large vo-
lume of water on the west bank
overlooking a large eres, some Of
the best lands in st. Martin pa.
risb are continually under water
since the building of this levee.
It has been announced lately that
fifteen miles more of levees we're
to be built on the east side of the
Atchsfalsys, aud this extension of
the levee on the other side means
the overflow of many thousand
acres of land on the west side,
which will remain under water all
the year.
This announcement has caused
our people to protest against this
new levee. and this week q delega-
ton composed of Meserr. Jas. j.

was held in the interest of the La
fourche lock. to present our claims
to the Atchsfslsys board to pro-
test against the East side levee
extension and against the locks,
and demand protection from that
board for our lands on the west
side Of the Atchsfalaya.
St. Martin parish has paid in
levee taxes since the creation of
the district in 1890 S135, 622, 40
aud in acreage tax 500. 473, IA

aud what did va get for this large
amount of money paid out by our
people, nothing but injury, as the
money, all of it. was used for the
protection of the other parishes of
the district.
Our people believe that they
have been overlooked long enough
and now on will make every effort
to get relief where they have q
right to expect it.
