GOOD NEWS FOR MOTORISTS.

The highlands, Ia miles east Of
Morgan City that for forty or more
years have been the sorrow of driv-
ers of cars and wagons are now act
ually under improvement on levels
that will be forever free Of tides and
storms. A new right of way has been
found, surveys are made, the deeds
are executed and men and teams are
at work. A we'll graded high-level
road is already in process; the first
work commenced Thursday. The ex-
tent to which hard surfacing will be
carried will depend upon the coopera-
ton given by Old Spanish Trail COM
munities. Morgan City and Assump-
ton Parish cannot go further right
now than graded and drained dirt
surface. This much. however, will re-
move every bog and the involuntary
visits with mosquitoes and mud that
travellers have learned to fear.
Work has already begun. 1t should
be under full Roadway inside of d
week and cars will be passing with
out hazard in ten days. Offers Of
money. material, machinery and 9th
er substantial cooperation have flow
ed in freely. The Morgan City COM
mittee believes all promises it has
made in behalf of itself and neigh
boring towns will be promptly met.
The new road will of necessity be
dirt graded for the present. but all
curves and grades will be federal
standard and every drainage problem
will be solved at the outset.
