Decennial Census of the United States

Whereas a correct enumeration of

Whereas it is of the utmost i'm

$50 many varied and conflicting
statements are being made in the press
of the state relative to the cost of the
roads presently being built in DeSoto
Parish, and SO persistently has il
been stated in certain quarters that
these roads are costing $1,000 and
over per mile, and in order that the
people of the state might be correctly
informed as to the approximate cost,
I asked Governor Heard, President OF
the Board of Control, and Mr..
Cooley, government expert in charge
of the work, to meet in my office to
day in order to arrive at the cost OF
these roads.
"Under the existing contract be-
tween the Board of Control and the
Police Jury of the Parish OF De Soto,
work was begun in the parish about
the middle of September last. Up to
the LIST of March there had been ex-
pended on the roads, under this con-
tract, about SO, 500; something over ten
miles of road has been built up to the
LIST of March. After a consultation
between Governor Heard and Mr..
Cooley to-day, and calculating the
amount of supplies, piping, etc.. on
hand and paid for. it was estimated
that the road has been built at a cost
rot exceeding 800 per mile. It must
be understood that this work has heen
done during the past winter, under
very unfavorable weather conditions,
and a part of it was done through a
very rough, unbroken country. 1t is
estimated by the government expert,
for instance, that in the ten miles
leading out from Mansfield to Grand
Cane, and beyond, the first three
miles, owing to the nature of the
ground, cost more than the other
seven miles.
1.-THE figures given out in this state
ment were arrived at after getting
from Governor Heard the amount of
money spent on the road, and after
getting from MIR. Cooley the number
OF miles built and are, therefore, APP
proximately correct.
Before beginning work for the
Police Jury there were some other
roads built ia and around Mansfield
at about approximately the same
cost. Do Soto Parish now has abont
thirteen or fourteen miles of good
road, built by state convicts, and,
despite all reports to the contrary,
these roads are giving the people of
De Soto satisfaction. have not seen
or heard from a single citizen of that
parish who has not had good word
to say for these roads"
