TAXATION

The total city taxes levied for
the past year was $l6,000.O0 and
the total assessed valuation was
81 ,65l ,364. 90, which was one thou
sand more than one year ago. As
our city grows it is absolutely nec-
essary to raise more money in tax
es, but we have mo assessed VAL
uation each year, therefore the tax
es in Milbank were as low or lower
for most taxpayers this,spring than
a year ago, partly as the result Of
cooperation between the Milbank
Public School Board and the City
Council. / have pers onally look
ed up the matter of taxes in six
different county seat cities about
the same size as Milbank and ad-
joining our county during the past
two months, and | find that Mil
bank take average at least one third
lower than our neighboring county
seat cities on the same value of prop
erty. which believe is an excel
lent record, and trust we can con-
tinue this rate Of low taxes.

Our National, State and County
Governments are going to build a
model piece Of road between Mil
bank and Big Stone City this sum-
mer, which will be far better than
any road in this part Of the North
west, and this should give our
road builders. chance to learn how
to build real permanent roads.
The City Council should do their
best to influence Grant Center town
ship to build good bridge across
the creek on the main road leading
west on the edge Of our city at Dav-
i'd Cinclair's farm. as said bridge
is disgrace at present. and very
dangerous crossing.

Highway Construction Re-
commended By State
Department VIII Re-
ceive Federal Aid
State And Federal Road Officials
Have Just Completed ms
pection of Proposed High
way improvements

Encouraging news to boosters
all over the state is contained in
a news dispatch from New Or
leans today. It is especially
cheering to those Of st. Mary,
Terrebonne, Lafourche and AS
sumption, who are putting forth
every effort toward the COM
pletion of improvements on the
Morgan City-New Orleans high
way. Mr.. Buie and Federal
Highway Engineer Fauntleroy
have both stated that this road
project deserves every encour-
agement and predicted that fed
eral aid would be forthcoming.
The dispatch referred to is taken
from today's Times-Picayune
and is as follows:
Duncan Buie, head of the State
Highway Department, and r. V.
Glenn, senior engineer of the
United States Office of Public
Roads, returned to New Orleans
Tuesday morning, having made
an 8OO-mile automobile trip
through the state, investigating
the highways for the purpose of
+ securing federal aid toward their
Improvement.
Mr.. Buie said he was assured
f the government aid, as Mr..
Glenn had intimated that upon
is return to Washington he
would approve every highway
roject proposed by the state de-
artment. This means the build
ng of ninety-six miles of road .
way and several bridges, at a cost
approxima,ing $4,000 per mile.
Fifty peJcent of this amount
will be paid by the various par
shes enjoying these improve
nents. The state will contribute
ne-third and the federal govern
rent two-thirds of the remain
der.
Mr.. Buie said the trip was
through Ascension, Pointe Cou-
ee, Richland and Lincoln par
shes and sections of East and
West Baton Rouge. Pointe
Coupee and St. Landry, Rapides
Avoyelles, Ouachita and Frank
in parishes. Enthusiastic meet
Ings of parish officers and cit
zens were held, with discussions
f proposed bridges and plans
or surfacing highways across
wamps. In Rapides parish it
vas decided to extend the pre-
ent military road from Alex.
ndria to Camp Beauregard.

those decided adversely.
The War Industries Board will
inform all persons applying di-
rectly to it that they must first
take up their projects with the
appropriate local representative
of the State Council of Defense,
Persons interested in construc-
tion projects against which a
State Council of Defense has
ruled can appeal to the War In

Importance to the negative de-
cision Of the State Council. You
will undoubtedly concur with the
Boards decision that it is not
necessary to call public htten-
tion to the privilege of appeal.
The ability of the War Indus
tries Board to enforce this whole
plan rests upon the fact that it
controls priorities and has also
secured from the manufacturers
of building materials a pledge
not to supply materials for pro-
jects not authorized under
the regulations of the War In
dustries Board.
To carry on the work outlined
above, we recommend that you
create a small committee on Pro-

you had been three hours earlier you
would have gotten away. Just stay In

A dead silence resulted. Then men
started to curse, threw their rifles on
the floor of the car; others said moth
ing, seemed to be stupe1ed, while some
had the tears running down their
cheeks. It was bitter disappointment
to all.
How we blinded at the engineer of
that train; it was all his fault $50 we
reasoned); why hadn't he speeded up
little or been on time, then we would
have gotten off before the order ar
rived? Now it was no Blighty for US.
That return journey was misery to
us; just can't describe it.
When we got back to rest billets, we
found that our brigade was in the
trenches (another agreeable surprise)
and that an attack was contemplated.
Seventeen of the forty-one will never
get another chance to go on leave;
they were killed in the attack. Just
think if that train had been on time,
those seventeen would still be alive.
hate to tell you how I was kidded
by the boys when got back, but it was
good and plenty.
Our machine gun company took over
their part Of the line at seven o'clock,
the night after I returned from my
near leave.
At 8 80 the following morning three
waves went over and captured the first
and second German trenches. The
machine gunners went over with the
fourth wave to consolidate the cap
tured line or "dig in,' as Tommy calls
it.
Crossing No Mans Land without
clicking any casualties, we came to
the German trench and mounted our
guns on the parados Of same.
I never saw such mess in my life

about, shell holes everywhere, trench
all Dashed in, parapets gone, and dead
bodies, why, that ditch was full Of
them, theirs and ours. It was regu'

ribly from our shell fire, while others
were wholly or partly buried in the
mud, the result of shell explosions cav

dead German was lying on his back,
with rifle sticking straight up in the
air, the bayonet of which was buried
to the hilt in his chest. Across his feet
lay dead English soldier with a bull
let hole in his forehead. This Tommy
must have been killed just as he ran
his bayonet through the German.
Rifles and equipment were scattered
about, and occasionally a steel helmet
could be seen sticking out of the mud.
