NOTICE TO CITIZENS OF COW
INGTON.

| believe the voters Of Covington
elected me because they had conf
dence that ] would enforce the laws
and perform my duties as mayor.
There can be no weaker administra-
ton than one that allows lawless-
ness or that is not entirely impartial
in seeing that the provisions of all
ordinances are carried out. There
fore it is with confidence of approval
that l give notice that all ordinances
will be enforced. / wish, however,
to call especial attention Of auto
drivers to the cut-out ordinance.
Violation of this ordinance has be-
come nuisance. There must be
none in the future without the pen
atty being imposed. Also, auto Ii
censes must be taken out in accord
ance with law, and the street tax
must be paid by all subject to it.
The penalty will be enforced if each
of these ordinances are not complied
with within ten days from date,
namely, July %, 1919.

THE CHEF MENTEUR ROAD.

Tuesday, at the meeting of the
Police Jury, action was taken on the
Chef Menteur road proposition in &C
cordance with the recommendation
of the Road Commission, in which
it was stated that $250,000 OF the
parish bonded road fund should be
given for this purpose if Mr.. Buie,
state highway engineer, would give
assurance positive and satisfactory
that the money would be returned to
the road fund; that assurance posi-
tive and satisfactory" that the Log
town road, all necessary bridges
etc, as provided for in Act No. Is Of
the Legislature, shall be completed
before any part of fund is used in
construction of the New Orleans
Hammond road; that assurance
positive and satisfactory" be given
that every effort will be made to Sc
cure government aid for the road
from New Orleans to the Mississippi
line at or near LogtoWn at the earli-
est practicable date that he will use
the first $250.0Ao o reimburse st.
Tammany parish road fund; that he
will turn over to St. Tammany all
government aid he is able to secure
for this road no matter how much it
may exceed $3.50, 900; that he will
make every effort to obtain as much
government aid as possible for any
and all other roads in St. Tammany
parish and will promptly turn over
to the St. Tammany parish road fund
all money so obtained, guaranteeing
that the amount will not be less than
$3.50, 900"
Quite a number of people from
various parts of the parish attended
the meeting. Action by the Police
Jury was taken in the shape of a
resolution. See Police Jury pro-
ceedings.
Mr.. T. Murhee, chairman of the
Pearl River Good Roads Committee

Logtown road so as to go through

WHAT THE ASSOCIATION OF
COMMERCE HAS DONE.

Frequently people ask, What has
the Association of Commerce accom-
plished?" This is question that
is hard for the average member to
answer off-hand. The question was
asked a member the other day and
as he could not anaWer it he de-
termined to inform himself so that
he would know in the future. By
examining the records of the Asso-
citation, he found among other
things, that it had accomplished the
following:
/. Free delivery Of express.
2. Bought and operated street
sprinkler so days, but failed to get
support to maintain it.
3. Published Booster Books
which has been distributed all over
the country, and caused the Illinois
Central to advertise Covington as a
resort.
4. = Beautified courthouse yard,
bought and erected gates over steps.
5. Restoration Of morning trains

ing of the Pantheon, which was clos
ed at the time he visited it, he says:

it from the Greeks. The Pantheon
contains tombs of famous men,
among which are the remains OF Vic
tor Hugo Rousseau, Voltaire and
others, whose names appear on the
outside. This building contains fine
pictures of French patriots"
In speaking of the Chateau Thiery,
which is of special interest at this
time because of the wonderful and
victorious battle fought there by the
Americans, he says: Chateau Thiery
is a fair-sized town, which when
viewed from a distance might indi-
cate that reports from Hun depre-
dations and destruction were exag
gerated, but when in the town itself
one is soon convinced to the con-
trary. This is due to the fact that
the frames of many damaged build
ings still remain standing, whereas
the interior is bare, nothing left of
the roof or floor but heap of crush
ed stone. Of course, some houses
suffered more than others, some hav-
ing been made habitable with tenn
porary or emergency reparations, but
the majority of buildings suffered
more or less. A portion of the vii

more severe was laid bare-a mess

COVINGTON BALL TEAM SHOULD
HAVE FINANCIAL HELP.

The Covington baseball manage
ment has provided a team for Cow
ington that is attracting attention
outside and that is bringing non-
siderable publicity in the daily
papers of New Orleans and else
and gets little of. The st. Tammany
Farmer has put on a sport page to
increase interest in good health-giv-
ing sports and to aid in the advance
ment of a movement that will afford
amusement to visitors as well as be
beneficial to the young men of Cow
ington and the parish generally,
who have not taken he interest that
should be taken in this direction.
Covngton now has team that may
take the Southern semi-professional
championship, if it goes after it,
which we understand it will do if
finances permit. II it should sue
ceed in this Covington will get some
good advertising.
Big crowds at the ball games,
something that has not happened in
Covington for years, is the rule now,
and if the standing of the club is
maintained these crowds will grow
even larger. 1t takes money, how
ever, to do things, and until sufficient
interest is aroused to make the at
tendance pay expenses, there must
be some contribution to the fund
from other sources. 1t has been de-
c,ded to ask for contributions until
the club gets on a paying basis. All
who can should give something, be-
cause the benefit will be general
There must be some sport in a town
to give it healthy growth. In most
ways Covington is the most metro
politan town of its size in the state.
The trouble is, that as rule it de-
mands too much-too high-calss in
it's tastes for the field offered. But
in sports it is behind. Let's go to it.
