maintenance.
To arrange for it's proper exc
cution. there needs be some plan
or designated purpose within the
true Specification of what may be
intended. Have what roads you
please, but let us know that they
are of the kind wanted.
In our case a forty years tax is
the burden that was presented
for approval or disapproval. The
election as said above was held
and declared to have been car
ried by one vote majority. But
it so happened that there was.
some irregularity in counting Of
the votes which gave cause for
dissatisfaction and certain other
irrelevancies that could not be
remedied unless recount was
made.
We seek no advantage of any
kind. but based upon justice and
fairness we made an appeal to
the legislators of our Parish de-
handing our rights as plain Amer
lean citizens, and to our disap-
pointment. we were turned down
for lack Of jurisdiction in the pro-
ceeding, yet they themselves pro
claim to be the governing author
ity.
Now gentlemen, it is ques-
ton Of justice and fairness and
We are impelled to seek for en-
lightenment. From the stand
point of what seems to be the aim
of securing, it does look as if the
burden Of proof rests upon those
in whom the confidence is re-
posed, and we contend that where
is lodged the right Of command
ing and enforcing there should
be the power Of reviewing tol
make right so as to be sure OF
showing afirmatively that no I'M
due advantage has been taken OF
the other.
Hence, We do not hesitate to
say that what is claimed to have
been carried fairly should be
proved beyond a doubt. We must /
also consider the principle in
volved and we, as contributors
are entitled to fair treatment in
the premises. otherwise we can
not be made liable without our
knowledge and assent.
Under the circumstances, we
join in asserting and manifesting
our refusal to what was not
sanctioned by that sense Of ap-
proval without which there is no
binding possible.
