 received by w. E. P. Parker, superin- tendent of county roads, who was also a candidate.

Good Roads.

boosters from Monroe, and meet
inc held at the Court House on
last Saturday, must ultimately !
rebound to the good of Caldwell
in arousing our people to the all
important question Of good roads.
Already, impetus has been
given to the question, and the
citizens of wards one and two,
on the east side of the river,
will petition the Police Jury to-
create road district, of the two
wards named, after which the
proposition will be submitted to
the voters and tax payers, to
vote road tax for the construct
ion of a mode graveled road
from Columbia to the Ouachita
Parish line. Should the propo-
sition carry in this parish, it is
the intention of the parish au-
thorities in Ouachita, to con.
struct like highway from the
Caldwell Parish line to the city
of Monroe. We know Of nothing
that would be Of greater benefit
TO our parish, than the consumat-
ion of the scheme as above out
lined, and we trust that interest
in the project will not abate, unit
the purpose is fully carried out.
Good roads along our river
front, as contemplated, would d(
more towards the enhancement
CT our valley lands, than an,
thing that could be done; beside!
the whole parish would be bene
hted;in fact the benefss that w
would derive from such a pro
ject. would be wonderful indeel
and aid materially in the up
building of our country gener
ally.
The proposition of creatin,
road districts, and the voting O
bonds to build good roads, ha
been tried out in othe parts 0
the country, and has proven sal
isfactory, and there is no reaso
why it will not work here i
Caldwell. A bond tax for five c
ten years, it is true, would be a
additional burden upon the ta2
payers Of the two wards aboy
mentioned; and the only questio
for them to decide is: Woul
they get anything in return? OF
answer would be yes. First, b
the inhanced value of the land
over and near which the ros
would run. Second, money save
in repair to vehicles. Thir'
time saved in travel, and increa
ed tonnage that can be hault
over good roads.
We shall have more to 81
from time to time upon this or
position, as we are convinced tn
nothing will add more to o,
country's prosperity and Il
happiness and contentment
our people, than good roads, al
more good roads.
