Nv Dear Sir:-The matter OF gooo r
roads is one of the most important ques el
tions that efectthe welfare OF rural p
communities. Good roads are an equa, a.
benefit to the dweller in cities ana ,
towns. Mindful of the fact Of the deep "
/ interest that our people have taken and y y
\ " Wv 80 ~ l
are taking in. this subject l have given .
! this matter attention, looking to some !,
practical way of demonstrating the I,
feasibility Of good roads throughout : :
the state, p,
d Major F. M, Kerr, Chef Engineer OF
h the State Board Of Engineers, ano
y have had numerous consultations anu
y much correspondence on the suoJec'
matter:
Owing to the condition Of the genera
'e fund. Il was impossible at the last SEES
=, sion of the Legislature to make any ap-
nropriations for the beginning OF TINS
ly work: and owing to the unprecedented
foods of last year both the money n
cy time of the State Board OF Engineers
ce have been needed to repair and reou'io
the leyees on the banks Of our greas
-. streams.
in After a good deal Of planning by ma
'ez ;or Kerr and myself we have come 70
ap= the conclusion that after the stress OF
work placed upon his department oy
ort the high water of the past year shall
ing have gone, his force can be in some de-
sed GREE used in the furtherance OF a gen.
use eral good roads scheme Throughout the
the state: but funds are needed for 'nc'den'
but tai expenses. and it has occurred to the
The Major and to me that if a tund cou'e
F. he raised from the various parishes 10
this purpose, this work could be under
the taken at once. Of course, every doi
md lar contributed to this general fund b,
ted. any parish would be spent in the paris
resi- contributing same.
that l am addressing this same day a sim
vers lar communication to the several pal
let ishes throughout the State with u
n OF idea of ascertaining from each Pol'ee !
ran nv whether or not their budget will pc
fur nit of them setting aside Of a certa
ldent sum for good roads to be spent unof
+, Ste the supervision of the State Boar
anu of Engineers. 49,,
Iwould be pleased if you would Il
copd- this matter before your Police Jury
surer its next meeting and notify me At on
of the action of your body. 1t the +
Sec lice Jury thinks we'll Of this suggestle
0 was then | will ask the State Board OF +
State gineers to work out a general scne'
let to Of good roads from parish to paris
from town to town, figure the appro
