we need more industrial plants

we need more cottages and

considerable more push and en-

Iculverts were removed and found
to be full of mud. Here is an
Iother instance of the poor tax
payer being soaked by some slick
tongued faker, who bamboozles
the public officials. These con-
traptions were sold under the i'm
preston that they would serve
the purpose of both ditch and
bridge, when in fact they afford
about as much chance for the
passage of water as would a log.
The corrugs.ions in the culvert
serve to catch the sediment and
shortly fill it up. st. Landry

like two thousand dollars worth
of these culverts several years

have and the road overseers
