(By STAFF CORRESPONDENT

Madisonville, Nov. 16.-Precedent
to this comment, sponsoring the abb
solute necessity for the proposed
road to Lake OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ing has been definitely stated pub
licly in either negative or affirmative
tendency.
1t has rather seemingly lain DOR
mant, like fine old volume in any
library, to be taken down OCCASION
ally, busted off and touched up a
bit-serving generally the fit pur-
pose Of loquacity for a trivial sub
ject at any of the crepe hangers
conventions.
@ But the general tone of the silent
Interested committees adds quite a
bit of color-with the announcement
of abridged statements and perspec-
tive proposals going into effect-to
the scene as 1t shifts to more APP
preciative public of which Madison
vile boasts. the majority In this
special case.
For Madisonville wants this road
and is "going to get it, 'Tis true,
for short time, thru erroneous
statements, many of the co-workers
were disheartened. Later reaction
however, has discredited all preju-
dices centering concisely on the en-
ergy thus far expended. tempering
new impetus that bids fair for the
road becoming reality.
The theory has been advanced that
by building this road to the lake
shore, it would have tendency to
build up the lake shore and deaden
the town of Madisonville. This
theory is exploded, however, of its
own volition as one figures the utter
impossibility of the fallacious adj
vencement The mere fact Of the
non existence of high land between
the town and lake disproyes the
theory. And now, although fears OF
negative furry" have proved so
groundless, technical conditions seem
to invite whats the good of it any,
how" pressure-so to right the
wrong here's just a few reasons why
we must have our road:
It will be the only accessible auto
mobile road on the west side of Lake
Ponchartrain, between the Tche-
functa River and West End, New
Orleans, La.
It will attract from all sections
west of the Tchefuncta River to one
of the oldest towns in the State.
It will develop a section of the
Ozone Belt which has never been
thoroughly explored.
It will draw people to one of the
finest deep water harbors in the
State.
1t will drain strip of land which
will be worth a great deal for agri-
culture purposes.
It will afford the extended use OF
one of the finest bodies of water in
the South-Lake Pontchartrain.
It will also furnish one of the
most sanitary beaches on the lake
shore. 1t will attract campers for
fishing and hunting, not to mention
the outing parties.
The bond election for this road
will be held December 10, 1922.
