growing reminiscent, what a difficult
time the automobile industry had in
its early years. Those We're the days
when men without capital, and with
out resources saw fortunes in building
a new kind OF vehicle and there We're
so many poorly-built automobiles on
the market that the industry really
got black eye from which II did not
recover for a good many years. The
fate of the men who started 70 manu-

edge and without capital was the COM

a business about which he knows moth

1,479, 1888 Goodyear pneumatic automobile

That is fourteen times as many as we

That amazing sale Is due to these ex.

have tried out Goodyear tires. 1t is the

These men found Goodyears the quality

Answer to Letter Of A. T.
COCkfield.
FREDIEU,
Clerk.

/ 10 the Y OCerS OF w ara NINE:
If any politics figured in the
contract for the building of the
bridge across Provencal Bayou. |
have no knowledge of same, if
there was, it was through Mr..
Cockfeld that it figured. There
were three bids, Boydston & Hargis
$474.OO, j. S. Sanders S425.0 90
and S. r. Woodruff $341.00.
These bids were sealed and handed
to me at the Court House few
minutes before time for opening.
Mr.. Cockfeld was present, saw
the entire proceedings. At the
stated time. each bid was opened
and read in the presence of MIR.
Cockfeld and Miss Addie Tauzin.
The resolution which is the direct
cause of this discussion was offered
by MIR. Cockfeld and read IS
follows: That in accordance with
petition of citizens OF ward nine
that bridge be built across Pro
vencal Bayou" / voted against
this resolution, giving as my
reason that it was not drawn up
- rsElA s--,, -1-~ufTF : Pfalinn
JGfy TO defeat same, my advice
was not taken and the ordinance
was passed. You will notice that
no provision was made for a COM
mittee to handle the matter, no
arrangement made to secure the
money, in fact there was nothing
in the resolution to limit me.
Had | seen fit to contract for the
building of a bridge to cost ten
thousand dollars it would have
bound the Police Jury, as there
was no limit to the resolution.
When Mr.. Cock6eld first
advertised for t h building
of a bridge, l informed him
that I would not settle for
same, and he failed to make any
contract. Soon after that | dis
cussed the matter with him and
determined upon an amount that
we could pay and he then re-
advertised.
While the bridge was under
construction Mr.. A. T. CockGeld
made a trip there to inspect the
work, at least / suppose he did,
owing to the fact that he presented
me with bill for $500 which
read as follows: To one day
service to see ProYencal Bridge
and milage 5000" this amount
was paid him by warrant issued
by Miss Addie Tauzin and signed
by me under date of August 27th,
number of said warrant being
1869.
Now Gentlemen, who is at fauItl
1t shows that he visited the bridge
and reported nothing to me. If
he had done his duty, could he
have not seen that the piles were
not driVen9 I am not a bridge
builder and had / made a trip to
accept this bridge l would net
have known whether it was done
according to specification or not.
/ feel like that any fair minded
man will readily see the efforts
made by me was to assist Mr.. i
Cockfeld in any manner / could. |
/ was not instructed to look after
this matter, and the fact that it
was in Mr.. Cockfeld's ward and
being his resolution it was up to |
him to report his findings 10 me.
Those of you who wish to 20
further into this matter can come
to my Office and / will take
pleasure in showing you all trans
actions. 4 have nothing to hide
and am willing to take the respon-
sibility when it belongs to ne.
Space prevents me going further
into this.
Very truly yours,
