meeting. The sentiment was that the

educational feature must be driven
home Lot only to the people at large,
but to the police jurymen. who have
in a way, got the situation ia their
control. Tangipahoa parish is going
to lave good roads at any cost, and
if the police jury will not take ac-
tion, there are still other ways left
aud they will be used.
