is made necessary that st. Martin

ment for damages that may result
from Overhows, due to the propos-
ell improvements. In accordance
with this provision the Police Ju-
ry and property owners of the pa
IRISH did give bond, but Attorney
General Wickersham held that it
was not good, inasmuc as the Po-
lice Jury, under the laws of Lou
isiana, may not anticipate its rev.
enues, or bind itself for the flu.
ture. He also holds that the bond
is perpetual, and is therefore not
acceptable as signed by indivi-
duals. For this season that it is
considered perpetual a bonding
company will not furnish the bond.
While it would seem from this
situation that "a mountain Of diff |

cordiDg to Col. Lansing II. Beach,

slders that there is so little posi-

derstood, will DO made in writing,

be presented to Congress by Re-
