FERTILIZER EAGERLY
SOUGHT BY FARMERS

On last Friday the carload of fer
tilizer purchased by the Chamber OF
Commerce arrived and found many
farmers from Washington parish and
Pearl River county eager to get it,
The fertilizer was sold at cost and
the price paid by the farmers was
something like S27:50 per ton.
Indications are that it will be nee
essary to get another car to supply
the demand, as Secretary Lindsey
has received letters from farmers in
Washington and st. Tammany par
ishes and Pearl River county who did
not get their order into Mr.. Lindsey
in time.
The purchase Of this fertilizer by
the Chamber. of Commerce and by
that body offered to the farmers at
cost, was made possible through the
cooperation Of the First State Bank
and the Washington Bank and Trust
Company.

this summer as the result Of the bene-
fit given by the Garden TheateG

fifty persons enjoyed the show and

old Practor, of the Redpath Lyceum,
who performed at the Y. M. G. A.,

Every City Has
ItsStock Troubles

Col. A. c. Goodyear, president Of
the Great Southern Lumber Company
and the New Orleans Great Northern
Railroad, arrived in the city Friday
evening for weeks business trip.
In statement to The Enterprise
Colonel Goodyear believes that Bo-
galusa cannot be recognized IS 8
thoroughly progressive city until the
stock is kept off the streets.
COZ course, it makes no difference
TO our cOmpaniese whether stock
roam the streets Of Bogalusa or not,
but so long as they do, It win be inn
possible to keep the parks, lawns,
sidewalks and gardens in perfect con-
dition, A few years ago many citi-
zens employed our gardener to beau
tify their lawns. These lawns were
greatly damaged few days later by
cattle, and so long as they cannot get
protection, they have come to the
conclusion that it Is 3 waste Of money
and time to try and have beautiful
lawns, so long as the stoc runs at
large.
Every city has its stock question.
Mr.. Sullivan told me today that he
remembered when the stock used to
roam the streets Of Buffalo. Stock
is not permitted now to run at large
even in the country in New York
state. Not only is it to the interest
of the property owners, but to the
stock owners, to keep the stock from
running at large, because registered
stock cannot do as well IS II they
had certain grazing land, which the
owner would naturally see was in
good condition.
'sThe keeping Of live stock of the
streets Of any city is purely q CIVIC
question. People who want to see
stock kept off the streets, not only
to make It beautiful, but also to pro-
tect their children. / understand
that when this question was discussed
here few months ago that plans to
furnish fenced pastures were dis
cussed.
Amy city win Be known as q ''hick
town" as long the cattle r0am the
streets"
Bogalusa enterprise and American. (Bogalusa, La.) 1918-19??, 1921-02-17

1. That all stock be prohibited
from running at large within the
city limits. It will be impossible to
beautify this city with stock ruth
Iessly running over the streets, walks,
yards and gardens of the citizens.
II. That garbage and trash be
kept from being dumped on vacant
lots other than those designated by
the city authorities.
3. The committee is of the opin-
ion that if neat taxi stations could
be erected in different parts Of the
city it would relieve the congestion
of service cars now. being parked on
the principal streets and allow pri-
vate cars to drive up to curb. This
suggestion meets with the approval
of business men in the vicinity of the
present parking places.
4. That the city has speed and
traffic laws and chronic violators Of
these ordinance should be given a
final warning. There have been
many accidents whereby careful
drivers have been harmed by the
careless driving and indifference Of
these vialators.
5. That a silence zone be thrown
around the hospital and all unneces-
sary noises be eliminated.
Respectfully submitted,
CITY BEAUTIFUL COMMITTEE,
J, A. SPEKENHIER, Chairman.

NO PIGS TO BE
KEPT in CITY

If you have been keeping a few
porkers in your back yards and on
the streets, you may as well prepare
to move them outside the city limits.
Heretofore owners who maintained
sanitary" hogpen were permitted
to raise hogs in Bogalusa, but the
privilege has been abused and the
health authorities all agree that there
is no such thing as sanitary hog
pen.
Hogpens are known to be un-
healthy, and inasmuch as the health
of the citizens is to be the most i'm
portant thing in the future, it has
been ordered that owners of hogs
prepare to move them outside the
city limits at once. Those desiring
information relative to this order
should communicate with DR.. j. I'll.

neer.

beaten and robbed on the franklin
ton highway Monday night by three
unknown men.

way late Monday night in his buggy.
When within a few hundred feet of
the railroad crossing a Ford car raced
up and three men piled out. SabeT
was pulled from his buggy and or
dered to "come clean" After he
had turned over about $50 in cash,
the three men sailed in and gave him
a beating for good measure.
The local police were notified
Tuesday Of the occurrence, but were
unable to obtain clue as to the
identity Of the highwaymen.

SLIDELL-NEW ORLEANS
HIGHWAY is ASSURED

Slidell is expected to be connected
with New Orleans by an unbroken
highway within a year as the result
of Tuesdays election in which the
people of the Slidell road district
voted bond issue Of s250,000 to
build a road that will connect Slidell
with the New Orleans highway at
Rigolets.
In the Eight and Ninth wards Of
Road District No. 2 of st. Tamnany
parish, the taxpayers of which will
carry the burden Of the bond issue,
there was only one vote cast against
the bonds. In the Ninth Ward, which
includes Slidell, there were 128
votes, representing $401 $50 in prop
erty, cast unanimously for the issue.
In the Eighth Ward, with 43 votes
and S62,520 property represented,
there was cast the lone vote against
the issue, and that by a person who
owns but $500 Of taxable property.
The voting Of the bond issue makes
available as mach as 100000 for
building the road, If this amount
should be found necessary. Engi-
neers of the federal government have
promised that for every dollar spent
on the road by local authorities, the
federal government viii put up q like
amount.
Engineers specifications for the
road are practically complete, and
work is expected to begin in less than
three months The law requires that
the bonds be advertised sixty days
before they can be sold, but when
this is done, there remains only TO
sell the bonds, assemble building
equipment and begin work. Engl-
neers say. the. road can be built with
in a year.
The road to be built is about 10
miles in length. Crossing the marshes
as it does, there win be may fills and
a great number of bridges to be built
and the work will be most costly,
but engieers say the 100000 avail
able will be ample.
By the time this link is finished 1t
is said the highway between New Or
leans and Rigolets will be completed,
opening an unbroken highway be-
tween New AI1Cct4An anu AOAAANAAs
This will remove the necessity for
ferrying over the lake or detouring
by Baton Rouge traffic between New
Orleans and Slidell Forming part
of the Spanish Trail, this link viii
shorten by lao miles the trip Of tour
lists travelling between New Orleans
and Florida and Alabama.
The SlideH Civic and Commercial
Club, branch Of the Louisiana Mo-
tor League, was given much Of the
credit for the large majority by
which the bond issue carried.
Several people who were i'll get out
of bed and went to the polls to vote
for the bond issue, according to the
story sent from l5lidell Tuesday
night. One woman with fever, whose
temperature at the time was 101
went from her bed to vote for the
issue.
