FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Chief is not responsible for
views expressed by correspondents.
For 4 Federal Building.

Donaldsonville, La, June 19, 1919.
To the Chief:
Being a heavy taxpayer and prop
.erty holder in the city of Donaldson
vile, and having the interest of the
good people of our city at heart and
being strong advocate of justice to
whom Justice rightly belongs, I deem
it privilege to give vent to my senti-
ments and unbiased opinion through
the columns of your most valuable
paper.
Firstly, the market question: Ow-
ing to the fact that the location was
obsolete and not within the reach and
convenience Of the taxpayers and
property holders of this, city it was
| deemed advisable and a petition was
circulated and signed by a majority
of the people, that a central market
should be erected so as to be within
lreach and conveniently located to
serve the best interests of the COM
munity
Secondly, a petition is being cir
Iculated for the purpose of filing with
our congressman, ]. Y. Sanders, to
Euse his best efforts in securing for
4 lDonaldsonville federal building.
IThe writer is heartily in accord with
the movement in every effort being
made for such a structure, which
1Would add materially towards beau
tifying our little city, say nothing Of
4 the great benefit and convenience de-
I rived from such a fjlding, located
centrally. Let us nve for a moment
forget that a postofice ought to be
i located centrally, for the convenience
4 of the masses, and not solely for the
Z, accommodation Of certain few.
i Owing to the fact that the market
lplace was obsolete as a market and
Iinconvenient for the majority of its
Ipatrons, does it not sound reasonable
that postofice building in this self
Z same location would be unlogieal, in
convenient and an injustice to the
largest part of the taxpayers of ou1
city? Through my personal observa.
tions. after having visited man.
towns and cities, postoffice buildings
are centrally located and within the
reach Of the masses.
I feel quite: confident If in th'
near future a government lnspecto
is sent to Donaldsonville for the pur
pose of selecting a site, the location
4 will be central. By all means, let u
I work hard to secure new postoffic
IlbuiIding which we can look upon wit
/ pride; which will do credit to Dor
aldsonville; which we are justly en
4 titled to and last but not least, let
be centrally located.
Respectfully,
JAS4MIN TOBIAS.

Canal Still SIoughing.

The sloughing in the big Smoke
Bend drainage canal at it's mouth
in Bayou Lafourche, goes on
slowly but steadily. During the past
few days serious cave has occurred
at the lower end Of the temporary
bridge, which seriously endangers the
safety of that structure. As mat
ter Of precaution, it might be well to
place lights at each end Of the bridge
for the use and guidance OF those
who have occasion to travel at
night, with a sign containing warn
ing Of the dangerous condition Of the
crossing. This would cost but very
little and might be the means OF
preventing serious disaster.

HOPE TO END DRAFT
 BOARD WORK SOON
Two or Three Months May Be Re- Quired Before All Duties
 Are Ended.

Despite the fact that the local records complete and ready to close January l, 1t now appears that the boards will not finish their work for possibly two or three months. Or ders have been received which will keep the boards going and the final or ders in regard to the work of the boards are expected in the near fu- ture. These final orders are now un~ derstood to be in the hands of the printers and are expected to be in the hands of the boards of the state by the end of the month.
 Major John Buckley, draft execu- tive for Connecticut, is in receipt of a proof copy of the new regulations of the war department in regard to the closing work of the boards. If the figures of the war department are taken as a basis, it may be estimated that it will be two years before the draft work is completed in this state, but Major Buckley feels that it can be done in three months In view of the fact that the Connecticut boards have kept their work up to date.
 Among other things. the new regu- 1ations will require the local boards of the state to certify to the corect- ness of all dates and entries concern ing each registrant so that mistakes made in the haste Of the summers great mobilization may be corrected in justice to the men.
 Under the expected new regulations it is evident that much thought will be taken of delinquents and deserters These men will be the objects of the work of the many boards and it will be necessary that the records con- corning these men shall be correct.

American Car General Motors, American Sme1ting and '. g. Rubber. T.. s. Steel also dropping B point from it's best. Rails and shippings yielded 1 to points on very moderate pressure, but Am erican Can and minor coppers were relatively strong.
