Mr.. Watson Still Contends Police jury
Should Not Make Special Bud
get for Highways.


get for Highways.
Editor Cotta1 Chronicle:
| thank you for publishing my
letter last week. In your COM
ment on same you entirely dodge
the issue. You say | ought to
known that there is a difference
in budgeting and spending pub
lie funds. Now, | want to ask
if budgeting is not for providing
a fund for the different projects
or expenses of the parish? Why
are these budgets required to be
made and published? You state
that the budget for roads and
bridges for 1920 was 5000, but
the amount paid out exceeded
$40, 900. If that statement, is a
fact, why don't the police jury
provide sufficient funds for 1871 !
| am under the impression that
at least a part of this $40, 1000
was paid out of the special ward
taxes.
You say that at the time APP
plication. was made to obtain
State aid that the'police jury had
to obligate Grant parish to bud
get a maintenance fund each
year for upkeep of the roads
which were built with State aid.
| know that it is the policy of the
State highway board to require
the parish to provide funds tt
assist in maintaining all roads
built with State aid, but | dom
think that they ask for any
special appropriation for an!
certain road exclusive of all othel
Iroads.
J. If l know anything atall abou
| the roads in this parish, all tn
roads known as model roads il
this parish were built with Stat
aid. The point that | wish t
make is simply that the polio
) jury has no right to provide :
E special fund for maintainanlnI
of the Jefferson Highway, Q
any other road in Grant parish.
i Relative to the budget for tn
assessors salary. | acknowledg
the corn as to my mistake.
Yours truly,
O. C. WATSON.
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1921-01-01

Following the continuous rams
preceding 1920 the roads and
bridges were in a deplorable con-
dition. and it simply took more
money to repair them than was
contemplated. The repairs hav-
ing been made, it is quite likely
that the amount appropriated
for this purpose for the coming
year will be sufficient.
Police jurors are nothing more
nor less than human, and their
appropriations and expenditures
are governed by the same condl-
tons that might arise in the con-
duct of any business. Hence, it
is within their province as mana
gers of parish affairs to budget
an amount for any specific par-
pose, and use more or less OF
that amount as conditions. and
circumstances may require. SO
long as they stay within the pro-
visions of the law.
With reference to Mr.. Watson
impression that the special taxes
of the various wards were includ.
ed in the expenditure of $40, O0t
for roads and bridges, the treas
urer of the parish funds is au.
thority for the statement thai
not a cent of these special ware
taxes was inclu ded in this
amount, the ettire $40, 600 com
ling from the general fund.
/ Mr.. Watson, will you stant
corrected again?

Columbia Plans Municipal Owned
Telephone Service.

Columbia, La, Dec. n. -Citi-
zens of Columbia are opposed to
the proposed increase in tele-
phone rates. When the increase
is put into effect, the Cnmber-
land Telephone Company will re-
ceive notice from all subscrib-
ers to remove the phones from
residences and places of bust
ness. Then the municipality
will be asked to put in a phone
system of its own, and every
person in the town who is the
owner of a home or business will
obligate himself to take at least
one phone. 1t is understood the
municipal phone system will be
operated at the actual cost, anc
neither the municipality nor any
person will profit.
There was talk of notifying
the Telephone Company in ad
vance of the fact that all phone:
will be ordered removed. Others
suggested a mass meeting of TIL
citizens to denounce the propos
ed Increase and send a copy o
the proceedings to the company
i The latter course probably wi
be adopted.

This is popular nickname for a
peculiarly shaped kiln or furnace in
the northeast corner of the tobacco
warehouse belonging to the London
docks. Here contraband goods, such
as tobacco, cigars and, tea, which had
been smuggled in. were burned. Seized
and unclaimed goods are now sold at
periodical sales, or distributed among
public institutions, but damaged and
worthless goods are still burned.

4poor Whites" of Porto Rico.

Nor was servitude confined to Afri-
cans. Spain long used Porto Rico as
penal colony, and when public works
no longer required them, the convicts
were turned loose to- shift for them
selves. Most of them took to the noun
tains, where the poor white" popula-
ton is numerous to this day. Yet the
later generations are no more Grim
inal than the Australians; If there Is
much petty thieying, it is natural IN
a hungry, overcrowded community.
