will bear me out in my assertion that
my services have been of character
to win the confidence of the people
of this parish. When / assumed
thi office there were few bridges
and no steel bridges, the courthouse
was in a dilapidated condition, there
was practically no Jail house, and the
parish was in such financial con-
dition that warrants could not be
paid and were cashed in specula-
tive way at an enormous discount.
People serving on juries were un
able to collect the money that was
legally due them for their services
and it was a difficult matter to keep
the roads in passable condition.
This is a dreary icture, but It 10 a
pleasure to know that as president
of the board l assisted in Bringing
about the change that has placed US
among the more advanced parishes
of the State.
l was born in st. Tammany parish
in 1862. My father came to New
York state from Germany in 1843.
After living there two years ne was
brought to this parish, at the age OF
six years. He grew up and married
here. He is still living here at the
age of IS years, and l am proud to
say that of the large number Of
Keeps there is not one but is !.
good and useful citizen. I state
this to showthat my interest and
pride in the parish is the natural
blood ties and love Of the sod that
has sustained me, and l would not
be traitor to her interests.
/ wish to say, If elected assessor
of this parish, that l can and will
do many things that will be an i'm
provement upon the present methods
of management. In the first place,
shall give more personal attention
to duties of the Office. After the
assessment rolls are made up, shall

rect assessments thereby saving

which they cannot as conveniently
and correctly handle. l shall en-
deavor to eQua.ize assessments, with
q view to q reduction Of taxation
generally, by equally distributing its
burden, and l shall do this withou
prejudice or injustice to any prop
erty holder, large or small.
shall see that careful attention
is given to the making up of tn
roll, so that there may be minimum
Of double and erroneous assessments
the existence Of which are burden
upon the taxpayer and a source of
annoyance and expense to the ia,
collector.
shall select as my clerk and
deputies good and reliable men and
shall assist and cooperate with
them in securing a fair and eQuit-
able adjustment in ell disputed mat
tiers.
In closing l will state that while
lost in the election for this Office

that department. Equally it is true
that In private business good man
