JACKSON HIGHWAY
AGAIN IN L|MEL|GHT
SPECIAL SESSION CALLED TO IN
VESTIGATE ACTION OF ROAD
SUPERVISORS.
DONATION FROM The STATE
Opinion Is That Parish Jury Acted
Upon Erroneous Presumption in
Attempting To Set Aside the
Sum Of 100000

JoncsbOro. La. - The grand Jury
called in special session here primar
fly for investigating the action of the
board OF supervisors OF road coustruc-
ton for Jackson parish filed its fihal
report returning four true bills in
other matters and commendiEn the
members OF the board of supervisors
for the honest. practical and econom-
zeal manner they have handled the
road construction.
The report says In part:
we find thot In few instances eI
csssive prices have been paid for
right of way, and that oven wire fenc.
ing has been purchased and used 10
enclose property belonging to private
persons. While we are not in position
to say that in no instance should the
board OF supervisors pay for right of
way, but we do not believe that 1t
should in any case 20 on record as
purchasing the material and building
fences. We appeal to all public spir-
fled citizens to make every reasonable
sacrifice to the end that the money
now on hand may be used in building
and constructing roads throughous the
parish with as little loss to or extor-
ton on the road funds as reasonably
possible.
We are assured by those In charge
of the road building that they have
received the promise of the State
Highway Department that. II the pres
ent plans to construct an east ad west
and north and south road through
the parish are carried out, we can
secure a donation from the state and
federal government OF about 100000
on the east and west road and about
$3.50 900 on the north and south road
This board OF supervisors assures us
that the ordinary roads throughout
the parish are now being worked as
rapidly as possible and that by late
fall they expect to have every road In
the parish worked in good shape, all
at an expenditure OF not over seven
or eight thousand dollars. Our inves'
tigation convinces us that 1t is prob
able that the board of supervisors can
do this, for we find that many miles
of road bave already been worked by
them throughout the parish.
1T is our opinion that the jury OF
our parish acted upon an erroneous
pfesumpuon Or stztemtt n i6ess ~
attempting to set aside the sum OF
100000 for the purpose OF working
the roads generally throughout the
parish. II this should be done 1t would
probably result in neither the north or
south roads being completed and the
people never deriving the benefit for
the S242. 9S5. SO which has been spent
ut the present time.

Although Ray did not meet any run

best performance was In the mile,
which he covered in 4 30 on track
with unbanked turns The time In
the other races was slow, as JOie was
not pushed in either.

NO ISSUE.

North Dakota in the recent election
the Independents Won In the n in
which the statement is intended this
is correct. The vote cast on supreme
court justice, on state superintendent
and on initiated laws is conclusive
evidence. But as q matter of fact,
there was no complete separation Of
issues. The party spirit influences in
some measure even the vote on these
candidates and issues. Republican
sentiment was strong, and the Town
ley ticket had the advantage Of be-
ing, SO far as the Office for. governor
is concerned, the Republican ticket.
Thousands of persons voted for Fra
zier because he was labeled Republic
can, and because of that fact the can
didates and the policieg supported by
the Frazier managers received q con
siderable share Of support from the
reflex influence Of tho Nparty spirit.
Hence the majorities for these candi-
