OPPOSED TO THE
NEWLANBS BILL
COAST CITIZENS ARE SERVING
aNoTicE ON REPRESENTA-
TiVEs IN CONGRESS.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 4.-The people
of the Mississippi coast are serving
notice on the states representatives
in Congress that they will fight to the
last ditch against the proposed plan to
construct spillways as a means of al
eviating food conditions along the Mis-
sissippi river.
The objection of the gulf coast clti-
zens is based on the ground that the
turning of flood waters from the river
into Mississippi Sound would destroy
the fish and oyster industry, valued at
many millions of dollars each year, and
render bathing along the entire coast
between New Orleans and Mobile we'll
nigh impossible, owing to the snakes
and alligators that would be carried
down the stream.
In proof of their contention these
citizens cite the fact that for twelve
years after the famous break of the
Bonnet Care levee the waters from
the Mississippi river, flowing through
Lake Pontchartrain, thence through
the Rigolets, Lake Borgne and into the
Gulf badly crippled the oyster in
dustry, destroyed fishing, and made
bathing dangerous, because of snakes
and alligators clustered around bath
house steps.
The proposed spillways, it is claimed
would not only paralyze the Missis
sippi oyster industry, but destroy tn
. Louisiana reefs as we'll, and for thi
reason members of the Mississippi de
egation in Congress are being urge
, to fight the Newlands bill.

that their borrowings might threaten

deal with the subject. But, no: the

the right party to take action. The /
