REOPEN CHENEY ST.

The residents along the
Frisco railroad are in very bad
need OF d street and an attempt
will be made to secure the
councils consent at the next
reguar meeting to reopen old
Cheney street, between Market

parallel to the Frisco railroad, !,
is scarcey used as no one re-
sides along that street. The
property holders along this
strret, it IS understood, are
willing to have Block street
closed and are also willing to
exchange the old riiggI1t-of-Way
for the new right-of-Way.
Several Of the people resid-
ing along the Frisco will
storm the city hall next month,
with all evidences necessary

/ ed to the proposed st. Landry
Farmers Fair Association. II

banks IN this city will con
tribute in the neighborfood of
fifty dollars each, thereby
boosting the appropriation to
the parish fair over one

plication of shares in the st.

REPORT PORT BARRE

Judge Monroe Having SawnilI
overhauled With View Of
Resuming Operation

Reports from Port Barre
have been fiuttering in for the
past several weeks to the
effect that the Port Barre
Lumber Company's saWnll at
Port Barre would be operated

Former Supreme Court Judge
Monroe has been in Port Barre
for sometime looking over his
plant and finally decided to.
place the mill in an operating
condition. On Monday morn
ing, therefore. a force Of work
men were employed to give the
mill d thoroughg overhaulin
which will require some time
to accomplish.
1t is understood from re-
stas
liable sourcesthat Judge Mou-
roe is bent upon operating the
mamonth saw mill, which has
been closed down for over two
years. In the event that the
mill resumes operation It IS.
opioned thatPort Barre will
again boom up as a promising
town, which will no doubt ma

The people Of this city

COMMISSIONERS CALL
DRAINAGE ELECTION
QUESTION WHICH WILL SETTLE THE FATE OF
MALLET AND PLAoUEMINE SECTIONS
TO BE DECIDED ON SEPT 1sT

The Bayou Plaquemine and
Mallet Drainage District
Board of Commissioners issued
call for an election to take
place in the district, on Sep
tember 1st, for the purpose of
voting on tax of ten mills an
acre.
The old drainage district
comprises about twenty thou
sand acres, half of which is
owned by non-residents. The
resident property holder Of the
Plaquemine and Mallet drain
age district by voting in favor
of the tax will improve their
their section by paying about.
half Of the entire tax.
Rural routes and good
roads and splendid schools
have been erected in the
Plaquemine and MaIIet drain
age district, during the past
few years. The country is
splendidIy improved, with the
exception of drainage, which
Is more direly needed than all
the others put together.
With good roads and no
crops to transport over these
modal highways the country
is in a worse position than If
that same section had drainage
and no good roads. Drainage
places the land In such a condi-
tion as to produce a larger and
quality crop than Il
the same crop was raised on
badly drained land. Drainage
claim that the IN
crease of production systema-
TALLY drained lands is more
than sufficient to pay the tax.
