FILLING BLACK BAYOU
OUTLET IN PROGRESS

Judge Sam Bratton came home
Wednesday night from Black Bayou
where Mr.. Perkins and his crew OF
men are filling up the outlet which
drains the lake into the new ditch
The contractor, who was to fill this
opening with his dredge boat, doesn' I
seem to be satisfied with the proceed
ings. Anyway Mr.. Perkins and his
party are working under the instruc-
lions of State Game Warden. Claude
Williams, therefore by authority of
the Governor. Mr.. Perkins informed
Judge Bratton that the work would
be finished by Thursday afternoon if
not interrupted. The only thing to
stop it is restraining injunction,
and more than likely this will be re-
fused by the Judge.
The citizens here will have to
thank Mr.. Bratton for his efforts to
bring about pollution of the ques-
ton, in other words to get the Gov
ernor's action in the matter and to
organize and proceed post dispatch
with the work. Mr.. Bratton has
made several trips and given consid-
cradle time to this matter.
Whether or not there has been a
premeditated effort to drain the lake
or any portion of it we have never
undertaken to say. but without ques-
ton the contractors have displayed
dilatory tactics. We understand the
contract provides for the closing of
the Black Bayou outlet before the
ditching is doner If that is so, looks
like somebody has got the cart before
the horse.
