made of US by phone and other

Thibodaux bridge is unchanged, the
case is under advisement. Those assum
ing to collect toll, have no more right
to day than when they first started
collecting, the toll is no more legal
row than it was then. The placing of
a gate on the bridge was no act of
any court, it is the idea of some who
wants to see the toll collected. It is no
legal barrier, and can not any more
force pay than if was not there. 1t is a
joke travesty on progress.

ton of the managers in refusing to

ment of state and 1 am not in posi-
ton to give you any advice with re-
gard thereto"
Mrs. McLendon stated Saturday
that she is determined to push the
