RESOURCES URGED
CONTROL OF GRAVEL AND ROCK
DEPOSITS PROBLEM FOR
CONVENTION.
SHOULD CONSERVE WEALTH
Question of Public Ownership of Grav-
ell Deposits Is Being Agitated In
Several Parishes at This
Time.

Lafayette. - Steps should be taken
by the approaching Constitutional
Convention to protect the mineral re-
sources and the gravel and rock de-
posits of the state so as to prevent
Louisiana from being denuded of her
vast natural wealth, in the opinion Of
the State Senator J. r. Domengeaux
Of Lafayette.
louisiana" Senator Domengeaux
said, has been blessed by many Of
natures moss valuable gifts, but here
tofore they have not been used or de-
state. Within a few years our great
timber forests will be denuded, I'M
less steps are taken to check the wan
ton waste 1t will not be long before
some of our mineral resources, such
as oil, as, etc, will be exhausted UNI
less they are properly conserved.
ways and means should be devils
ed by the Constitutional Convention
to not only conserve this natural
wealth. but to provide methods
whereby the state can get more reve-
nue. out Of it. These are gifts to the
people and the state is entitled to
even a larger proportion of revenue
than it is getting through the efforts
Of Governor Parker. l think the state
should get per cent of the sales
value of these products, instead OF 2
per cent.
1.-THE Constitutional Convention
should also devise way to enable the
state to control our gravel anu rock
deposits. These materials are needed
in tho construction mad maintenance
of public roads and highways. Louis
lana must have a system of modern
roads that will penetrate every Sec
ton. Our state cannot grow and PROS
per as it should without highways.
I'VE have vast deposits Of rock and
gravel in many Of our parishes. es
pecially in the northern and central
section of the state and in Florida
parishes. Some of these deposits
have already been gobbled up by
large syndicates and the syndicates
are reaching out for more.
The question Of public ownership
Of gravel deposits is being agitated in
several parishes. but up to this time
Ouachita is the only parish that IS
known to have taken steps to protect
Itself in obtaining possession Of road
building material. Ouachita parish
has purchased a gravel deposit near
Monroe and is using the material in
building highways.
