Little Heard About
Country Roads.

Those who had so much to say
regarding the town streets,
when they were gravelled in
1914 are not so watchful, arg bot
the guardians now that hey
constituted themselves five
years since, when the town
streets were being constructed.
We however hear many rum
blings of discomfort on the gra-
yelling of the roads in District
No. 2. We opine that the contrac
tors are living up to the con-
tract, but surely six inches of
gravel in the center, dwindling
down to two inches on either
side, is little enough, to say the
least and will have disappeared,
wash gravel at that, when our
town streets, even though ne
elected, will still be here. The
taxpayers in that district are
not throwing their hats up in
the ais at getting so little gra-
vel for so much money. Pity the
shoots and the switch near the
bridge had not been invested in
gravel, there might have been
a thicker layer. Yet no one
wants to say anything but they
are grumbling.
Now it is whispered, and we
give it for what it is worth, that
those on the lower end of No. 2,
they have been paying
their god money, are not going
to be served Immediately, but
that when the present gravel
ling reaches Laurel Valley that
work will be started in District
No. 3, on the right bank of the
Bayou in the first ward and con-
tinued on down.
