given amount. The city engineers Will
have every detail ready so that the
people will know exactly what is nee
essary for the present needs, both
water and sewer and the enlarged
storm sewer on Caddo street.
1t is being pointec out that scores
of houses are waiting for the water
and sewer connections, and that it
will be impossible to connect them
up until the money is provided
1t seems that the water and sewer
connections take care of themselves,

Picnic Postponed.

Roy Brady of Pooleville was in the
city yesterday and reports that the
picnic which his people had planned to
give at Eaves' Lake during the latter
part of this month has been called
off The recent hail in that community
put all the farmers so badly behind
that they are entirely too busy to
attend picnics for a month yet. The
picnic has not been abandoned but
will be held some time in July. Mr..
Brady says he saw farmers Friday
replanting cotton and they will be
very busy now with late cotton and
late feed crops, which will be planted
where early crops were ruined by the
hail.

The tak-Piyets Id numbers gathersl
here In meeting Oh Saturday last y
talk over aud take action upon the pro
posed plan Of bonding the County fol
40 additional sum Of $4,000 to uui,d
public foad,, The members a the
Legislature met the gathering aud list
snrd nttentiveiy TO the dlscu,slIn.- -
Mr.. Joseph A. Wilmer was se.ected to
preside over the meeting and Mr.. F.
Stone Po.ev, Secretary. The pros and
cons of the idea were deliberately and
lengthy thrashed over and the almos.
unanimous conclusion was reached
that it was not an advisable propJsi-
ton to run the County so heavily ia
debt. 1t was generally admitted that
good roads was progressive idea and
practical but in view Of the already
bonded Indebtedness of S37 900 of the
county, and the greater demand for
the advancement Of other and more
important progressive movements, the
sentiment of the meeting was strong
in favor of postponement of the pro
ject to some later day.
Among thase who took most promi-
nent parts in the meeting were ex-
Senator S. S. Lancaster, Rev. Father
Bradley, of Newport, Hon. r Laurie
Mitchell, Mr.. Harry Il. Bowling and
Mr. Adrian Posey. Father Bradley
favored bonding the County but he
was alone in his contention. The
other speakers opposed any further
bonded Indebtedness. Mr.. W. Mex.
Bur oughs in a strong, forceful and
eloquent speech opposed bonding the
{ ounty to any III ec extent. Mr..
PoseY offered the following resolution
and followed the same up with his
views on the subject and the resolu-
tons were adopted. His re-olution
favored building the proposed roads
under the plan suggested at previous
meeting Of the Taxpayers, but the
same was amended upon motion Ct
Mr. Harry Bowling to levy the whole
amount ia two years which will neces-
sarily Increase the tax rate at the next
levy aud the year after thirteen cents
additional to the regular tax rate.
The following are the resolutions as
adopted:
Resolved, that it is the sense of this
meeting that the proposition to bond
the County for the sum of $40, 900 at
this time is impracticable and, there
fore, the same be and is hereby aban-
doned'
Resolved, further that the PROPOSE
ton adopted at the first road meeting
to build pubic highway from La
P alta to Riverside and from Hughes
willie to Benedict by some satisfactory
route is feasible and our delegation i'll
the legislature is instructed to use all
honorable means to pass such legisla-
tion as may best attain that end.
Amendment by Mr. Harry Bowling, that
$40 900 be levied by the County Com
missioners, $4,000 to be used to meet
State Aid Law and $4,000 to be used
on the lateral roads in the County.
