Narigable Canal.

At the meeting Sunday Mr.. T.
]. Liable offered a motion which
meets With our entire approval.
Mr. Labbe's motion was that We
at once take up the matter of MAX
ing the canal now being cut to the
Teche, uavigable from the Teche
to Cypress Island in order to con.
meet with Bsyous Millieu. Tortue,
Capuciu, Lake Martin and YER
million.
The writer in company with Mr..
R. Martin, had occasion two weeks
ago to visit that section, and when
We we're looking over this fine Sec
ton and the deep, large streams.
this very matter was discussed,
and it looked feasible.
That Cypress Island section is
more vast than many of our peo-
ple who are not acquainted with
il believe. The lands are fine,
The weekly messenger. [volume] (St. Martinsville [i.e. St. Martinville] La.) 1886-1948, 1908-12-05

can be easily drained when tho
canal is completed, and very fer
tile. When the drainage canal
was voted for, we we're not think
ing of the boil weeviI, and as that
section produced the best cotton
of the country We never thought OF
cultivating came there, because
cotton was the best crop for that
section for the nature OF the
soil is such as to forbid heavy
hauling in rainy season.
The plan az suggested by Mr..
Liable, is to take up the matter at
once with the Drainage Board aud
to arrange for a navigable canal
from the Cypress Island in order
to allow the planters of that entire
section to cultivate cane and bring
their cane to the market in their
own fiat boats.
1t was also suggested that We in
terest the people of Lafayette in
this project in order that cane be
brought to the Lafayette refinery
or to those on the Teche, Offering
competition for the benefit of the
cane producers. The gentlemen
from Lafayette who were present,
promising to take up this matter
with Us.
We are of the opinion that un-
der the present condition, our peo-
pie should demand that the canal
be made nsvigable, and We believe
the matter should be taken up al
once with the taxpayers of Cy.
press Island in order to get their
consent to a project that will prove
of such great advantage to them
and to the entire country.

Protection Against OrerAow,

The people of st. MartinviIle re.
alizing the danger which is again
threatening our planters of the
east side of the Teche are again
organizing with a view of taking
up the matter OF protection against
overflow with the Atchsfalsys Le-
wee Board aud the Governor.
A we'll attended meeting was
held at the City Hall Monday
night and AL organization formed
to take up this importsnt matter
with the proper authorities aud to
submit to them aud make demand
for the protection We are entitled
to have.
Mr.. Frank L. Guilbeau WAS cleo
ted President; Mr.. j. j. Burdin,
Vice. President; Mr.. f. e. Della
houssaye, Secretary; aud these
gentlemen were promised the un-
animous support of all who atten-
ded this meeting, and We feel We
can safely say they will have the
support of overy citizen of the pa.
rish who understand the danger
which is threatening a large por.
ton of the best aud most produc.
tive lands of our parish.
1t was reported at this meeting
that the closing of Bayou Alba
ma by the Atchafalays Levee
Board, and the extention Of the
Levee on the East side OF the At.
chafalaya River would increase
the water on this side at least ton
inches, and this increase in the
high water means that several
thousand acres more will be under
water this coming Spring.

Criminal Tar Reduced.

There was an interesting special
session of the Polics Jury Wednes
day. At this meeting Judge Felix
VOORHEES,. at the request OF Mayor
Broussard, read and filed q protest
against the four mill tax criminal
and the three mill school tax le-
We'd upon st. Martinville by the
Police Jury. Judge VOORHEES, read
to the Jury the law upon these
subjects, which plainly showed
these taxes were illegal.
After some discussion Mr.. Gull
beau offered a motion to reduce
the criminal tax to q mills which
motion was seconded by Mr.. Beg
maud; but Mr.. Chamgne aud Mr..
Rpsweber showed their arbitrary
and illegal temper whom they voted
against this measure and tried to
mako it 3 mills. After consulta-
ton, however, they agreed to come
down to q mills.
The school tax WAS entirely left
out az it is a matter that concerns
the School Board and the Town
authorities.
We do not believe that the in
depreciation of the law as explain
ell by Judge VOORHEES, is correct,
We do not believe the Police Jury
has right to collect the criminal
tax in st. MartinviIle, the Police
Jury can demand from the Town
two and Quo half mill tax to be
collected by the town and paid to
the Police Jury out of the Town
ten mill tax. No power, except
the will of the tax payers them
selves, can 10 over the ten mill
constitutional limit. We are now
demanded the ten mill town tax
and two and one half mill crimi-
nal tax, where is our constitution.
al protection ?
The Town Charter in this re-
gard says: The Police Jury shall
not have or exercise any jurisdic.
ton within the limits of this town
etc. The Police Jury shall have
no power to levy, impose or lay
ANY tax or license within the Ii.
mits of said town aud which is
especially prohibited"
This is AZ plain as it can be
made, the Police Jury has not the
right to even COLLECT this d mill
tax, but it must be collected by
the Town authorities aud be part
Of the Town ten mill tax, aud by
the Town turned over to the PO-
lice Jury rs our just prorata Of
the criminal expenses.
The constitution protects the
tax payers against any imposition
of taxes beyond the ten mill limit
without the expressed consent OF
the the tax payers.

Waterways Meeting.

Sunday evening last a meeting
of our people was held at the City
Hall, which was called at the sug-
gestion of Congressman Brous-
sard. The meeting was largely
attended by our people and de-
legation from New Iberia and La
fayette was present.
Congressman Broussard came
here to talk business to Us. We, a
few days ago started a movement
for q fifteen foot channel from the
locks to st. Martinville, and it was
for this reason that Mr.. Brous-
sard came here and explained that
il We interfered with the six foot
channel which we have obtained
and which would BIZ completed in
q short time, it would throw the
entire work back to perhaps ten or
twenty years and perhaps entirely
defeat the project which was about
to commence.
Mr.. Broussard address was list
ened to with great interest and he
had no trouble in convincing our
people to leave matters as they
we're, not to interfere or ask for
anything more until the present
work be completed; but to turn
our attention to st. Landry. Avoy-
Giles, Rspides and Lafayette, and
he assured us that when the peo-
pie of those parishes would un-
derstand the feasibility of connec-
ting their streams with the Teche
aud with the entire entercoastal
Canal, that We would soon have
the people of those parishes to
work with US in completing one OF
the finest water ways system in the
country.
The plans submitted by Mr..
B,oussard, would make all the
streams OF those parishes naviga.
BILE aud connecting with the Tecbe,

leans by three short routes which

their objection to the closing oil

When q representative of this
paper said he believed the Police
Jury had made its criminal budget
on guess work, that it was not an

nal expenses of the parish, Secre-

TOMORROW

Tomorrow is the last day of the
Interstate fair and all records for
attendance are expected to be
broken. The largest attendance
was on Tuesday, Derby day, when
fully $4,000 people attended, but
the number will be exceeded, it is
believed. Saturday will be known
as Bolster day, in honor of the
late Herbert Bolster, founder of
the famous old fruit fair and the
first manager of the Interstate fair.
Every exhibit will remain in
place until the gates close at
night. There will be no tearing
up in haste to get away, as in
previous years.
The race program is classy and
besides a 2:1S trot for purse OF
$1,000 includes 2::35 pace for
$500, the Chamber of Commerce
running race and two other gal
Looping events.
Saturday night is Union Labor
night. On week days many of the
laboring men have felt too tired
after their days work to go out
to the fair.

RENO, New, Oct. 9.-In continu-

Harmed Sothern indefinitely until
she agrees to appear in open court
against her actor husband, Judge
Pike said:
This, l think, is very unique
proceeding for party to attempt
to secure a divorce without ap-
pearing in court. / think l will
deny the decree. If the interested
parties do not deem it of enough
Importance to grace the court with
their presence, l don't see why
their family disturbances should be
aired here"
The grounds for the divorce are
desertion and nonsupport.
