Point Houmas Plantation sold.

The Point Houmas plantation on
the west bank of the river in the
fourth ward of Ascension parish,
about five miles below Donaldson

pursuant to an order of court issued
in the suit of Bank of Baton Rouge
VS.. Emile LeBoeuf, wherein plaintiffs
were awarded Judgment for $14,235.-
so, with per cent interest from
Jan. 81, 1913. The purchaser was
Firmin Reynaud, president of the
Bank Of Lutcher, who bid $4,000 for
the property. The place contains
about 1900 arpents of first-class land
and the improvements comprise a
small but well-equipped sugarhouse, a
commodious dwelling, store building,
cabins, stables, barns and outhouses.
Point Houmas was for many years
owned by the late John Cofield, and
IN the hey-day of the Louisiana SUI
gar Industry was one of the best con-
Quoted and most profitable sugar
plantations in this section. The
place has been cultivated mainly in
rice for the last several years, but
was gradually being replanted in
cane, a small tonnage of the latter
crop having been ground at the re-
habllitated factory during the past
grinding season.

Want "Edenborn" Renamed Gonzales

A fight is to be made to have
"Edenborn' station ON the L. r.
and N. Railroad, in Ascension parish,
renamed Gonzales"
A petition asking that the old
name of the station be restored was
filed with the railroad commission
on the f1th inst, signed by 800 per.
sons living at Or near Gonzales.
Six years ago when the Louisiana
Railway and Navigation Company lost
its fight for the location of the Con.
zales depot, the road changed the
name of the station from Gonzales
to Edenborn.
An effort was made then to have
the old station name reinstated,
but the commission did not have the
authority. The courts SO held.
-Four years ago Joe Gonzales, after
whose folks the town was named,
then member of the general as
sembly, got an act through the leg
islature giving the railroad commits
sion the authority to name depots. .
On the strength of this authority,
which he himself secured for the
commission four years ago, Mr.. Con
zales now proposes to make a fight
for the restoration of the old name,
by which the town and the postoffice
is known.

BAYOU LAFOURCHE LOCKS.

There has been introduced in the
lower house of the state legislature
bill by Representative Picard OF
Ascension amending and re-enactlng
section two of Act No. 8 Of 1900,
which act authorized the joint or
ganization of the Atchafalaya and
Lafourche levee boards to construct
locks at the head of Bayou La
fourche. The object of this amend
ment is to facilitate the levee boards
in carrying out the obligation which
both boards have recognized as rest
ing upon them. A similar bill has
been introduced in the upper branch
of the legislature by Senator Himel
of this district.
Under the present law the boards
are authorized, in order to meet the
expense of constructing the locks, to
issue separately their notes, but the
law contains the restriction that one
of these notes must be payable each
year, and that the notes must be for
not less than twenty thousand dol
lars each.
The proposed amendment is to
eliminate these restrictions, and to
leave entirely to the joint boards the
question of determining how the
notes shall mature and in what de-
nominations they shall be. The
amendment also permits the boards
to issue notes Or bonds.
Under the present restriction the
levee boards have found it difficult to
float the obligations such as they
were authorized to issue. They could
not be taken by the small investor
because the denomination was too
large; they We're not attractive to
the large investor because of the
short term the notes were allowed
to run.
The proposed amendment is in line
with the law on every other public
improvement authorized, for road, |
drainage, sewerage and school dis |
tricts are all empowered to fix the
denomination of the obligation au-
thorized to be issued and the re-
speetive maturities of the obligation.
With a survey recommended by the
United States senate committee on
commerce, it is expected a large por-
ton of the cost of constructing the
locks, if not the entire cost, will be
borne by the federal government.
The levee boards have pledged
through their respective presidents
to pay at least half the cost if the
federal government will pay the other
half and take charge of the work.
Should the two boards be called up
On to contribute to the cost Of this
work, it. is necessary that they be
placed in position whereby they
can readily secure the funds to de-
rote to the important project, now /
delayed so many years. The bill
low pending should receive the unani- {
nous support of the general assem-
". :

Bankers Defeat Guaranty Measure


By 8 to vote the house com

SYSTEM. Why are the big bankers OBJ
jecting? Because they know a small
bank with it's deposits guaranteed
will have equal prestige with them
L. M. Pool and E. T. Merrick, of
New Orleans, spoke against the mea-
sure. The contribution of 1-2 of l
per cent required of banks by the
bill would raise only $4,000 per year
in the state, and this fund would be
inadequate to do any good. One bank
failure in year would wipe out the
whole guarantee funds. The whole
system, as provided for by the
Schwing bill, was futile, they said.
