Grant Will Have Good Roads
The Five Mill Tax for Five Years is Carried and Grant
Parish Will Be the First to Get the Benefit of the
State Aid Proposed by Gov. Sanders.


The election on Tuesday, May
10th, resulted in splendid victory
for the advocates of good roads.
The issue was very close as ,tc
the number of votes, being 248 to
242, a majority of only six; but in
the matter of values the majority
was very decided, being 1896, SCI
in favor, to $l77,733 against, the
clear majority valuation in favor
of the tax being Sll8,828.
We regard the adoption of the
ordinance levying a tax of 5 mills
for FIVE years in Grant parish for
the building of good roads as a
grand stride of progress, and it oc-
ours at propitious and most for
tunate time. The Legislature at
Baton Rouge, which convened last
Monday, will in ell probability
adopt Gov. Sanders recommends
ton that the State shall give as
much as any parish shall raise for
the construction of good roads, and
Grant parish is in line to be one
of the first to reap this benefit.
Another fortunate circumstance
is that Grant parish will in all
probability be gridironed with a
system of good roads by the year
1915, and many of the hundreds
of thousands who visit Louisiana
that year, on account of the Pana-
ma Exposition which will undoubt-
eddy be held at New Orleans, will
have their attention directed to
our good roads, aud our people
will be given credit for progress
siveness and enterprise, and can
take civic pride in the roads of the
parish, besides the comfort and
convenience they will afford. to
say nothing of the enhancement of
general values.
We print the official promulga-
ton of the result of the election |
by the Board of Supervisors of
Election, as follows:

The problem has been studied not

the annoyance TO passengers, but
also because the shifting sand has
been directly responsible for i con.

tracks ana rolling stock.
Getting rid of the dirt kicked up
from the surface of the track is a
comparatively easy matter. as rock
ballast has passed the experimental
etage, but banishing the dust sucked
in from the sand embankments by
the trains was much more difficult

Columbus, o., July 2S.-With a can

The platform as adopted contains
a strong endorsement of the president

plank and all but one of state planks
wanted by the 'progressives." The
omission is that of a demand for law
for the recall of unfaithful public
servants.

TALE OF ILLINOIS
CENTRAL GRAFT

Chicago. July 2S.-Harold A. Sims
told striking story OF wholesale
graft before a master in chancery
here yesterday in connection with the
investigation of the alleged $4,000
car repair fraud in the Illinois Central
railroad
Sims was a former car inspector
for the railroad and later in the EN-
ploy of one of the FIVE car repair
companies charged with fraud. He
declared thai the Illinois Central was
made to furnish not only materials.
nut also labor. for repairs and then was
charged from one to three prices for
the work through a system of padced
bills.
He said the greater part of the wood
work supposed to have been done in
independent shops and for which the
railroad company paid round figure,
really was done at the Illinois Cen
trail shops at Memphis. He also tes-
tilted that the Illinois Central cars
were dismantler to procure material
to be used in the plant of the Mem
phis car company
