~E
have entire charge Of the locating
and building of good roads through
out the State of Louisiana.
Whereas, it has been currently re-
ported on the streets and in the
press that the name of Mr.. Duncal
Buie has been presented to the Gov
ernor by strong political influences
in order to have him appointed
member of said commission, and
that his name is receiving serious
consideration.
Realizing the irreparable injury
that will result to the State of LOU
isiana and its people if discourteous,
inefficient, unreliable and untrust-
worthy men are appointed on this
