MASSMEET|NG
FOR BRIDGE
Will Be Held in Covington
at Courthouse July 26.
Delegates from New Orleans
Leagues Will Attend.
Much Public Interest Shown
: in the Project.
Winning Supporters Where
ever Matter is Discussed.

The projected building OF the
bridge across the lake, from Mande-
Vile to West End, has gathered
strength, until it's friends are numer-
Gus enough to demand public atten--
tion. Some of these friends stand
high enough in the world OF finance
to guarantee that monied people can
be approached with the assurance
that attention will be paid to the
claims set forth that the building OF
this bridge woud be a profitable In
yestment. The commercial bodies OF
New Orleans have taken the matter
under consideration and delegates
from New Orleans will be present
at a mass meeting for furthering this
project, to be held at the courthouse
in Covington on the 26th of July.
The building of this bridge is not
new thought. It's consideration oc-
cupied the attention of the people
several years ago, and it was only,
abandoned because of the panic and
the death of a prominent finacier
who was behind it.

IMPORTANT NOTICE.

Attention is called to the changes
in the schedule of the st. Tammany
and New Orleans Railways and Ferry
Company. Cars leave terminals on
the half hour instead of on the hour
as heretofore, an hourly schedule is
run in the afternoons, and late car
leaves Vaudeville at 1000 p. m. and
Ccvington at 1900 p. m. These
changes enable close connection to
be made with boats to and from New
Orleans, and give the patrons five
more trips day each way.

report for the quarter beginning April

Gentlemen wish to say that the
school year just closed has been a
very successful one in many respects.
The teachers as whole have done
the best they could under the cir
cumstances. The pupils have made
seasonably good progress and
reasonably good progress and a.
ed in school until the end ofose
term and were regular-suJJect more
have been rQgaota1nufactures -ased
enrollmsons working for cous year is
evkiopment, have unaef school spirit
81 the idea as bout the parish than
Cc,lhe number: of white
relization of ;olled from July 1, 1910,
ar Natio, L, 1911, is 1855, and the
ed, 993, making total of 1878.
~ ~e ,ryI;t n1,s
ID from July /, 1903, to July l,
1910, was 2096, and the colored 1874,
making total of 1880.
These figures show that for the
year just closed there were 788 more
children enrolled in school than the
previous year This is good in
crease and if it can be kept up, with
in less than ten years every child in
the parish will be enrolled in the
public schools.
The following schools were not in
session full seven months: Simmons
Creek, Bush, Cause, Lacomb, Koepp
and Men Zion, but there were enough
in session over seven months to make
the average term for all white schools
7.55 months, and the average term
for all school was 3.17 months This
is not what it should be. We ought
to have at least seven months for
the eolored ch ldren and nine months
for the white children, but how are
we to have it. We need corps Of
well trained teachers in order to get
the best results. But our greatest
needs, our most imperative needs at
the present are good school houses
and they property equipped. We
can't build and equip houses and
maintain our schools with our pres
ent school revenues. The only means
by which good school houses can be
built and the school terms lengthen-
Ell is to increase our revenues. We
can do this by voting special taxes.
According to the assessors report
OF the educable children there are
29S fewer in the parish at present
than when the enumeration was
taken four years ago. This will de
crease our annual appropriation from
the state about $670.
Below give statement of oul
finances for each month and also fol
the quarter ending July 1, 1911:
