| A bloekaded stream may Be ~
tlieved for q year perhaps il
some cases longer IN others less,
but nothing has been accomplish
ed towards eradicating the plant
or preventing its return, and I
careful study Of the problem
leads to the conclusion that per-
manent results can be secured
only by the cooperation Of the
parish authorities, land owners
and business interests affected.
A plan has been worked out
by this office which will it il
believed, do much towards pre-
viding permanent relief, and
even If it does not result in
cradicating the plant, it will, at
least, keep it under such con-
troll that it will cease to be the
pest that it has been to this
time. This plan requires, how
ever. the assistance of all par
ties concerned, little from
each, not much from any one,
and practically no expenditure
of money by private parties. No
money is desired.
To this end you are cordially
invited and earnestly request
ed to attend a meeting at which
this subject will be discussed
and definite measures taken.
This meeting will be held at the,
United States Engineers Office,
Room 326, Custom House, New
Orleans, La, at 10 A. NJ, Sat-
urday, March 16, 1912, The
work proposed for the meeting
can be accomp1 he'd that day,.
SO that those who desire to re
turn home that evening can eas-
lily do so.
II is desired that the meet
ing. be as representative AZ pos
sible, and to this end you are
requested to extend this invita-
ton to any person or business
firms or associations who may
be interested and willing to at
tend. As it is believed that sub
stantial good can be accom-
plished for the entire southern
part of Louisiana it is earnestly
hoped that you will be able to-
be present and give cordial as
sistance.
