a draft on housing that demands the
erection of at least $50 to 500 new
houses.
He then told that the directors of
the Great Southern Lumber Com
had, last week, decided to do some
thing to honor the memory of the
"Mother of Bogalusa," his lamented
and distinguished wife. To that end
it had been decided to erect a great
maternity hospital at cost of not
less, than $4,000 on the grounds just
to the rear of the Bogalusa Hospital,
and change the name of the whole in

be twice as nice as the one sold. His
address was characteristic of the city
builder that he is, and was received

Pine Tree Banquet
Following the speaking, the speak
ers, led by the committee in charge
and attended by many Bogalusa citi-

spread, the like of which has not been
in Begalusa in many a day. In the
language of one of the honored
guests: "Shoft-shelled crabs and the

dash, Leahy gave his opponents q
