beneficial to the community.
before some one else is opposing
him in his plans, not because he
thinks that 1t would be injurious
to the parish, but simply on ac-
count eff politics. In this parish
there never can be discussed one
single subject unlessit is brought
into politics. IF the people of
st. Landry would leave politics
alone for a while and attend to
their business and to the well
fare of their country we would
not be considered a retrogressive
people. as the case is at present,
but ST. Landry would be num-
bered among the most progress
sive communities IN the United
States.
The parish will appropriate the
money to the building of perma-
nent highways in st. Landry as
follows: Two thousand dollars
out of the budget of 1914, five
thousand out of the budget Of
1915, and seventeen thousand
dollars for the years of 1861
18-19-20-21-2 20 and %, making a
total of one hundred dollars and
forty-seven thousand dollars.
With this amount it is thought
that several miles Of road will be
built, thereby greatly improving
the highways in this parish,
The resolution was carried by
a vote of 10 to 5.
A committee composed of
Messrs. Frank Dimmick, j. T.
st. Cyr, S. A. Gournay and Or.
F. O. Pavy, together with their
legal advisors, was appointed to
draft the proper ordinance and
submit same for adoption at the
regular meeting in November.

DREDGING OF BAYOUs IS
STRONGLY URGED.

The people living in the NAL
let and Plaquemine sections of
this parish have started agi-
tating the question of dredging
bayo1s Mallet, Plaquernine and
Nezpique. These people expect
to put their pleadings before the
Police Jury at the next regular
session of that body.
tits said that every time it rains
it requires from a week to some
times three weeks before the
water will recede from the pub
lie road leading from Opelousas
to Lawtell, Mallet and Prairie
Ronde. During the last rainy
spell which occurred in this par
ish nearly two weeks ago the
roads were covered with several
inches Of water for distances
varying from a hundred yards to
over a mile at points. It is re-
ported that the water has not all
receded, as yet, and, that it will
be several days before the roads
will be in good shape. The ru-.
raj carrier has been compelled
to make his route on horseback,
and on a few occasions had to
cut his route short, as it was i'm
possible for him to make the en-
tire 2S miles.
For several years there has
been talk of dredging the above
named bayous, but there was
neveranything definitely decided.
The people in that section of St.
Landry feel that they have been
neglected by the police jury, and
they now want to have better
drainage. It is proposed that a
dredge boat be secured and that
these streams be completely
drained.
A prominent citizen of the
Mallet section stated during the
week that Mr.. Franklin Schell,
manager of the Union Irrigation
Co. s Canal, had offered the ser
vices of one Of his dredge boats
to the parish of St. Landry some
time back. Now that Mr.. Schell
has an additional a n d larger
boat this gentlemen thought that
it would not be out of the ordi-
nary to secure the services of
the smaller boat, since Mr..
ScheH was not using it at pres
ent. Something should be done
to better the condition of these
low places and should be done at
once. These people were unable
to come to town to transact their
business for some time, and as
it is as present it is defficult for
them to do so.
Drainage is the fundamental
principle Of good roads. Drain
these dirt roads first. Now;
they should be free from water;
it is not only a nuisance, but it is
unhealthy TO have this Shiny
water remain on three Of the
