ACOOD SALE

In another column of the Journal
will appear the proceedings OF the
Police Jury and from which the tax
payers can get much satisfaction--
Adue to the splendid sale Of our road
bonds. The bonds were sold above
ypar and upon terms that are, per-
ne "a. more favorable to the parish
than any other sales made in the
state.
So far the people and the parI-
chial officers have done their full
dusy in the premises. The people
h We voted the tax, and a good ad-
niuistration has created good credit
for the parish which has made posi-
bic the sale of our securities at
premium.
But the real work that will give
the people "quid pro quo" is now
.unon us. The. money that has been
raised by n heavy tax-extending be-
yond the life time of the most OF
those who voted the tax-must be
spent economically and for roads that
will live at least as long as the bonds
No one questions the desire OF our
officials to get the "most" for our
money, but all will agree that both
eyes must be kept wide open If we
are to avoid being "gold-bricked"-
as has happened in so many Other
road building communities. We havi
plenty Of time to find out what Eint
OF roads last longest and just wha
ia the cheapest method of contracting
fer them. The time to correct mis-
takes in a project like this is befor'
we commence, so it is up to the tax
plenty of time to find out what kim
payer and officers to'get on the job
We are well posted on the subjec
of bad roads, but let US learn some
thing about good roads. The column
o. the Journal are open for sugges
