THE PACKING PLANT SITE.

The proposition to establish large
packing plant in this part of the state
is one that should be of great interest
to the people Of Donaldsonville and
vicinity
There are several cogent reasons
why Donaldsonville is the most eligi-
BILE place in this section for the loea-
Ition of such an industry, its position
on the main line of a great railway
system and on the bank of the Missis-
sippi river giving it manifest adyan-
tages as shipping and distributing
point with competitive rail and water
freight rates. To these are added the
inducements of an ample site free of
cost, exemption from taxation for a
term of ten years, and free water and
power for operation for reasonable
period, constituting combination
that ought to be strong enough to as
sure the selection of our city as the
domicile of the proposed plant.
Napoleonville is making an earnest
effort to land this enterprise, and it
is without tinge of ill-will or other
than the most friendly spirit of COM
petition toward our progressive down
the-bayou neighbor that we call atten-
ton to the superior natural advan-
tages of Donaldsonville and the other
inducements offered by this city.
Donaldsonville is the best place for
the packing plant and we should get
it. If wea don't, Napoleonville is our
second choice.

Meeting of Democratic Parish Com
mittee.

The Democratic executive commit
tee met at the courthouse Wednes-
day afternoon for the purpose of re-
ceiving notifications of candidacy for
the Office of delegate to the constitu-
tional convention from Ascension par
ish. There being three aspirants for
the distinction, of whom two are to be
chosen, the committee ordered pri-
mary election to be held throughout
the parish Tuesday of next week, the
9th inst, and selected commissioners
and clerks to serve at the various poll
ing places. The candidates are Hon.
E. N. Pugh, leading lawyer of Dom
aldsonville; Representative Achille l..
Picard, of Gonzales, and Caleb G..
Weber, also practicing attorney of
this city. FQwmer Representative
Joseph Gonzales, who was reported
to have SHE'D his hat into the ring,
will not make the race for the nomi-
nation.
The sentiment of the voters i'm As
cension seems to favor the holding of
the constitutional convention, and
while it is not likely that large vote
will be cast at the election on Aug. 81
to pass upon this question, the indi-
cations are that considerable ma
jority OF the ballots will support the
affirmative side of the proposition.

"S;n1Ie Shots, are Legal.

The Democratic executive commit
tee of Caddo parish has very wisely
reconsidered and rescinded a resolu-
ton which sought to declare illegal
ballots which might contain the name
of only one delegate to the constitu-
tional convention, instead of the
names of the four delegates to which
the parish will be entitled if conven-
ton is held. The right of Caddo
citizen to vote for either one, two,
three or four delegates is absolute,
and it would have been ridiculous
usurpation Of power on the part of
the parish committee to attempt a
denial or an abridgment of that right.

MEETING WITH FAVOR
Compulsory Dipping Ordinance APP
proved by Cattle Owners.

The first dipping of cattle since the
adoption of the compulsory dipping
ordinance by the police jury was con-
E ated at the Donaldsonville vat last
.nss>e lay, when 121 head were inn
men u. At the Evan Hall vat on the
folid&9ing day 1872 animals were pass
ed through the arsenical solution, and
Wednesday 1913 bovines took bath
In the public vat on c.. H. Landry's
Riverside plantation. The action of
the police jury in making it compul-
sorry that all cattle on the west bank
of the river in Ascension parish shall
be dipped at systematic intervals is
meeting with the general concurra4Ee
of stock owners, who realize that the
eradication OF the costly cattle tick
will be accomplished much sooner by
this method than under the plan of
leaving it optional with the owners
as to whether or not their stock shall
be dipped. Robert E. Dill, of Donald
sonville, has been appointed dipping
inspector, and win see to it that the
ordinance is rigidly enforced. The
selection of Mr.. Dill to fill this i'm
portant position is an excellent one,
since he possesses all the necessary
qualifications in pre-eminent degree
and may be depended upon to dis
.harge the duties devolving upon him
n an absolutely thorough, reliable
Ind impartial manner.

fered by Mr.. Wigginton, which hae
failed of passage. Commissioner Pc.
rez seconded the motion.
Commissioner HUMPHREYS moved
that the motion be tabled, but there
was no second and the question was
not put.
Over Half-Million Spent on Bayou.
Mayor Lemann argued for the
adoption of the motion to reconsider,
and contended that the boards could
finance the construction of the lock
by adding small amount to the S2G.-
O0O now being expended yearly on
Bayou Lafourche, the enlarged sum
to be devoted to paying the interest
and retiring the principal of bosld
issue OF sufficient amount to meet the
boards share of the cost of the lock.
Commissioner HUMPHREYS made the
assertion that the boards were not
spending $4,000 annually in the
maintenance of Bayou Lafourche.
whereupon Mr.. Lemann read the fol-
lowing figures representing the dis
bursements made for this purpose by
the Lafourche board from Dec. 4.
1908, to Dec. 81, 1914: Year 1903.
$12,622.63; 1904, $49,745.22; 1905.

IS. 1868 .38; 1914, $7,71O.51. Total,

disbursed by the Atchafalaya board,
making total of s548, 807.16 ex-
pended by the joint organization, COW

A STEP FORWARD.

While the action of the joint meet
ing of the Atchafalaya and Lafourche
I levee boards on the subject of pro.
viding for the substitution of a lock
! for the Bayou Lafourche dam was
not as definite and complete as il
/ should have been, owing to what We
regard as unreasonable and unjust
opposition on the part of four mem
bers of the Atchafalaya board to the
performance of a plain duty and
clear-cut obligation, what was done
constitutes a decided forward step,
and iustifes the belief that early sue
cess will crown the movement to vim
dictate the sanctity of public pledges
and official contracts, and to redeem
an erstwhile beautiful navigable
stream from the insanitary and stag
nant condition into which it has de-
generated by reason of the stoppage
of the main source Of its water sup
ply.
The assembly of citizens attracted
by last Mondays meeting was one OF
the most representative that has ever
appeared before the levee boards tor
any purpose, and included large
number of men whose names are
prominent not only in their respective
communities but throughout the
state, and who stand for something as
civic and political leaders.
Every section of the Lafourche val
ley was represented in the gathering,
and the fact that it's sentiment was
a unit in favor of the early construc-
ton of lock to replace the dam,
goes far to prove that the lukewarm-
ness and opposition heretofore mani
tested toward the project in the low
er reaches of the valley no longer ex-
ist, and to refute the charge that has
been heard from time to time that
it was only the people of the upper
section of the bayou country who
were anxious to have the lock pro-
vided.
All former attempts to obtain IA
vorable and definite action by the
levee boards on the lock question have
met with the united objection and OPP
position of the Atchafalaya board,
based on the ground that the cost Of
the work was too great to be assumed
in addition to the expensive and nee
essary task of maintaining the levee
lines intact. At last Mondays joint
session three of the Atchafalaya COM
missioners were won over to the right
side of the issue, and this is another
indication of the encouraging pro-
gress of the good cause. The three
parishes traversed by Bayou La
fourche- Ascension, Assumption and
Lafourche-whose material interest
in this matter is greater and more di-
rect than that OF any or all of the
other parishes concerned, are without
representation on the Atchafalaya
board, hence their people appeal to
Governor Hall to take their rights and
welfare into consideration, and to
give his decision in favor of the prop
osition that each of the levee boards
offer to assume fourth Of the cost OF
building the lock-, and that an appeal
be made to the federal government to
supervise the construction and pro-
vide for the remainder of the cost, as
set forth in the resolutions offered by
President Wigginton of the Lafourche
board at the joint session of Monday
last
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1915-07-24

on Commissioner Martins original
motion to reconsider.
All the members of the Lafoarche
board except Commissioner Thaggard
voted in the affirmative, but only
three of the Atchafalaya commission
ers-M essrs. Lefebvre, Levert and
King the motion, which
accordingly failed of passage Through
not receiving a majority vote in both
boards. Gov. Hall will be called upon
to break the deadlock in this instance
also.
In the event that the motions are
decided adversely by the governor
Commissioner Martin moved tb -

building the lock and appropriating
the money necessary therefor, but
honestly does not believe the levee

confi@nt the members of the joint or
ganization recognize the legal and
moral obligation resting upon them
and are ready and willing to discharge
it, but must consider the best inter
est of all the people residing within
the two districts, and not accede to
the wishes of comparative few in
one section at the expense of the
many. Mr.. HUMPHREYS said the Ieyee
boards had already made promises
which they found it impossible to full
I'LL, and he was opposed to mourning
further obligations until the organi-
zation was in a position to discharge
them. His request that more time be
granted for the construction of the
lock elected a storm of jeers and
caustic comments, the crowd demand
ing to know if twelve years were not
enough.
