RESOLUTION

Whereas, the Assessor of the Parish
OF Terrebonne, has assessed for the year
1917 The two and half cent acreage tax
ordered levied by this Board upon the
a,uvial lands in this District, against
land belonging to the Wisner Estates,
Inc, Frank B. Nelson and other per-
soys. all Of said lands being situated
IL the Parish of Terrebonne, and.
Whereas. the representative Of the
Wisner Estates, Inc, has appeared be-
fore this Board and informed this
Bard that the bulk Of the lands be-
longing to it and the other persons
above mentioned, are marsh lands, not
susceptible of cultivation in their pres
ent state and cannot be cultivated ex-
cept by the expenditure Of forty to fiji
ty dollars per acre, and in their present
state are not lands in strictest sense of
thc word; and,
Whereas, the lands Of this character
have not been heretofore been assessed

N this District, and this Board sees no
reason why this acreage tax should not
be cancelled. and not collected against
such lands, provided it is shown that
KEY are in fact marsh.
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the
Board cf Commissioners of the Atchaf-
alaya Basin Levee District, that this
Board does now declare that if the Wis
ncr Estates, Inc, and other property
owners show to the satisfaction Of the
Assessor of the Parish Of Terrebonne,
and the Auditor of Public Accounts of
the State of Louisiana and the Sheriff
of the said Parish of TerrebOnne that
said lands are in fact marsh lands in
their present state, and not in fact sus-
ceptible of cultivation and not subject
to said tax, that this Board has no OBJ

position on that question a matter of
record.
1 wish to call the attention, especially
of the people of this parish to the fact,
that comparatively all Of the "marsh
lands' in the Atchafalaya District are
located in Terrebonne Parish, and large
ly owned by non-residents, who contri-
butte nothing to the support Of parish or
District, except such taxes as they may
pay on these lands. While the cut-over
swamp lands are of much less value they
are to great extent owned by our own cit
izens who support the Government and
build up the Parish, yet it is proposed
that they shall pay the 2 12 cent acre
age tax, while the non resident prairie
owner, pays no acreage tax, gets more
protection than anyone else, advertises
his lands all over the country as the
richest and best lands in the world, and
sells them in many instances for one
hundred dollars or more per acre.
Should the promise made by our AS
SCISSOR to the representative of the Wis
ner Estates, before the last meeting Of
the Atchafalaya Levee Board, he ear
ried out, it will be saving to that Es-
tate in this parish of probably no less
than fifteen thousand dollars per an
mum. You understand that if we are
to be protected from floods, it is neces-
sary that we have revenues, and if the
gentlemen who own the prairie land are
not required to contribute for this cause,
then someone else will have to do so, ev-
en- though it might require more Legis-
lation to increase the tax rate on such
property that is not exempted under
such agreement. The Law directs
that all ''alluvial lands shall be taxed
2 and IL cents per acre. Webster's
forth, made by "rivers' and floods
Dictionary defines "alluvial" to be
deposits Of earth, sand, gravel and so
or other causes. I wish to state fur
ther that all lands in this section at
certain seasons, will have standing wa
ter on them, if not drained.
On my return from Baton Rouge, I
found that the distinguished representa-
tive Of the Wisner interest, had preced
ed me here, and 1 was told by our AS
SCISSOR that, the gentleman had given
him copy Of the resolution, and in
formed him Of what had taken place
at the meeting of the Atchafalaya
Levee Board, and that he would follow
the intent of the resolution and take
such lands off the roll.
I have stated the facts as see them,
and feel that I have discharged my au-
tv. If the people Of this parish and
district are satisfied with what has been
done. | am sure it will satisfy me and
l will have nothing more to say on the
subject
Very truly yours,

was equally satisfactory to Mulry.
Plenty did offer.
Edith was what he called "a reel
lady"-not the sort to flirt with. He
respected her sort The Children he
regarded as commodities OF his trade,
and he now sized them UP with
canny eye. They were putting on q
production which called for child
just the size and type Of little Jack
Ferrol. Thus transpired the somewhat
unusual happening OF a totally mex
perienced woman bringing her totally
inexperienced offspring to get a job
in the movies and being really offered
a position.
The kiddie has an attractive way
about him, madam" said Mulry. 81
believe We could use him. Suppose
we give him a tryout today, and il
he takes well, we'll talk business.
The director has a business caller just
now, but you take a seat, or walk
around the studio IL you care to. and
he will see you in few minutes"
The children's eyes fairly popped at
the wonders about them. They car
acoled with glee as they stared at
rooms which looked exactly like real
rooms Until vrr1 saw fhat the doors
opened into nothing and staircases led
nowhere, and that many interiors"
were set out OF doors, the breeze caus,
ing tablecloths and garments to blow
fercely where they were not intend
ed to.
Edith thrill.d and was frightened,
too, at the prospect of her wild scheme
actually going through. She wondered
what figure the director would men
ton as little Jacks salary Wouldn't
it be wonderful beyond words if her
small son were actually the instrument
Of wipiDg out the debt that so haunted
and depressed her!
The manager, Mulry. was bechoning
her to come into the directors office.
And as she entered 1t she collided with
a man just coming cut. It was her
husband, John Ferrol.

THE DENOUEM EMIT.

On the way to the moving picture
studio Edith kept herself from think
ing too much about the rather wild
undertaking she had set out to accom-
plish She busted herself answering
her little daughters eXultant ques-
lions as to what they would see at the
Excelsior company's plant. She prom
ised the jubilant small Jack that per-
haps "the man" would let him see
where the pictures were taken. She
almost succeeded in making herself
believe they were only upon a pleas
ure jaunt
BY the time they arrived Edith's
face was flushed with excitement and
her eyes were bright. She asked to
see the manager in voice that VI
brated despite her effort to seem calm
and casual The manager appraised
her swiftly with the glance OF long
experience He liked Edith FerroPs
locks and his eyes said so.
She had brought the advertisement
and now fished for it in her handbag,
partly to cover her embarrassment.
and partly to proclaim her strictly
business purpose.
ooh, it's the children you want to
place, is it?' he asked, focusing his
gaze On the lovely little face of Vir-
ginia and the chubby, manfulness OF
small Jack.
At his words an almost sickening
realization of the possible rashness
of her act swept over Edith. She
laughed neryously.
well, / thought perhaps-that IS
well, ] suppose children do need a
lot of training before they can expect
much remuneration. Only it occurred
to me that
Edith felt helplessly like music
box that, for lack of some assisting
hand, was running down. Her mo-
mentunl finally gave out and she stood
biushing furiously and floundering in
sea of words which had no particu-
lar meaning. The manager of the Ex-
celsior corporation was not bad sort.
His main thought was for business
and profits; his main duty to fit the
right actors into the right places. The
pursuit Of the feminine was an unim-
portant occupation with him. If such
