GOOD ROADS
COMMISSION
ON THE JOB

The work of the st. Tammany
Parish Good Roads Commission will
commence with a temporary repair
of the roads, incident to the inspec-
tion that is now being made by En-
gineer NJ c. Huckaby. The cost OF
this repair work will be paid from
the regular Road Fund of the parish
with the consent. of the Police Jury
and has no connection with the ex-
bond issue. Mr.. Huckaby, as road
enginee" of experience, will simply
be rendering a service to the parish
by taxing the work from amateur
hands, and this was recognized by
the Police Jury.
Mr.. Frank M. Comfort, secretary
of the Commission, is from Slidell.
He is considered an efficient man for
the work. He has returned from
the Army, in which he served dur
ing the war, with an experience that
will also be helpful. Citizens inter
ested in the road work will find Mr.
Comfort a splendid man to talk to
and always accommodating and in
terested. The work of the Commits
sion will not be neglected as long
as he IS on the job.
Engineer Huckaby is well known
here to many of our citizens, as he
made. the survey in our first effort
at good roads. The experience he
then gained of our soil and the re-
suit of the work accomplished will
be of aid in planning the construc-
ton of our new roads.
Mr.. Grant will be away for a
month, probably. He has suffered
some from his knee that was injured
years ago, and it is said he will con-
suit the Mayo Brothers, eminent
specialists in surgery, before he re-
turns.
Mr.. VIM. Oswald and Mr.. Fatheree
are here and such matters as can be
accomplished Immediately will re-
ceive their attention.
Just what material will be used
in surfacing the roads can not be
stated al this time, as both adapt
ability and cost must be considered,
as well as transportation, but it may
be taken for granted that the best
material that can be obtained within
the means of the funds will be Sc
lected.
Offices are in the Covington Bank
& Trust Company building.
