Mr.. GOulaS' Lame Excuse.


Tense last Saturday says
Il would like to say to Good
roads, state facts as facts"
Yes Mr.. Goulas facts are facts,
and the fact that you voted against
the gravel roads, opposing such a
big majority cannot be denied by
you, and is the cause of your Trou-
BILE conscience seeking for an ex-
cuse.
You request the writer to give
some evidence of your greed in
this matter. The best evidence is
your own admitaDce that you vot-
ed against the project, because you
felt that Main street would get
more than lis share. The esti-
mate of the engineers, as well as
the amount of tax paid by the tax
payers on that portion of Main
street to be gravel full width were
published, and very clearly shows
that portion of Main street not
only pays l-3 of the cost, but near
ly three times the cost. Hence
unless blinded by selfish greed,
and the very bad influence which
every body knows you have had,
you would not try to ride on that
Main street Lame excuse.
Besides, why should you now
try to convince the people that
your position was so well taken,
when the Tact of the mtater is you
you could not convince yourself,
For incidently have been inform
ed by bystander, that your con-
science tickled you so much when
you came to cast your vote and
your two precious proxies against
the tax that you twisted and groan,
and that your gestures resembles
those of one in the performance of
shiny dance. In fact SO comical
was your voting, that you your.
self styled your voting a Free Show.
| admire your pluck, however,
in admitting that you not only vot-
ed against the tax, but lent YOUR
Great influence against it. One
would have rather have thought
that you would be ashamed to ad.
NIT, so fruitless were your efforts.
1t certainly shows that your infu-
ence does not amount to much.
Yes | confess "Bob and his
Clique" are numerically severe
and should censure you so, be-
cause you are not all to blame, af- |
ter all, if the Tax Prophets who
were your guiding Stars, and in
whose great judgment you had
placed your full confidence made
4 mistake.
May you rest in peace.

The Mayors Answer
To Mr. Il. j. Liable,
Main street Merchant.

10 UT. l.. %. LaDDe,
Main street Merchant.
| have read your open letter adj
dressed to me ia last weeks Ban
ner, but fail to see one argument
where j can see you are right.
Yes, the building of roads is a
business proposition, and one of
greatest importance. Did you SO
considered the proposition when
you voted against?
You seem to be ignorant of the
fact that everything was thorough
ly planned by the Council, after
the first tax was voted and the war
came, the first estimate of the en-
gineers of $4,000 when only 500
600 was available, Mr.. l.. j. Woo
rhies, engineer, your son-in-law
was called before the Council to
discuss the matter and after revis-
ing his estimates and cutting down
all that was possible, brought it
down to figures that were possible
only by a second tax he estimated
at $4,000.
In the meantime a proposition
came before the Council asking an
election for the town tax payers to
vote $4,000 to build roads in the
parish entirely outside of the town,
and YOU were one of those who
favored this proposition as your
signature is attached to the petit
ton. This would have been
HALF BAKE proposition.
After going over the situation
thoroughly with the engineers the
tax of $4,000 was submitted to
the tax payers who were thorough
ly familiar with the situation, ex-
cept when some of the few who
fought the tax misrepresented the
situation in order to confuse some
of the voters, by telling all the tax
would go on Main street.
Don't you think, as a business
proposition, that $1,000 or $1,000
spent on Main street, for full
width, when that PARTON of Main
street is paying nearly half of the
tax, is better and more business
like than giving $4,000 to go in
the parish entirely outside Of the
town?
The assessment of each street
and the estimate of gravel cost gil
ven in each case, this shows that
everything was well planned be-
fore it was submitted 10 the tax
payers for their approved or re-
lection, and they have approved it
by vote of two to one,
Instead of justifying your action
in voting against the tax, we be-
lieve you have made it worse.
