victims and hold on to the bulk of
his stealings. The corruption worked

I,ARk. IMPROVEMENTS ASSURED


The Women's Progressive Union,
at a meeting called Thursday at the
request Of the Board OF Health. ar
ranged to apportion the town among
It's members, who as a cleanup squad.
will urge citizens to burn all COM
butsible material on their premises,
and to place the incombustible ma
terial, on Thursday, the 14th, on the
sidewalks available to the town wag-
ons. This material will be dumped
in the dump-hole in the park. Thus
the double purpose of cleaning the
town and improving the park will be
accomplished. The Park Commis-
sioners will add to the filling all
rotten logs and trash in the park, and
will follow this up with plow and
road scoop and break up the ridge
bordering the dump and cover up
the filing, thus ending one of the
most unsightly spots in the entire
community. The cleanup is timely
in view of the approaching parish
fair, and wholehearted cooperation
is expected of every citizen.
Z The town and parish boards of
health will, at the same time, thru
a cooperative arrangement, notify
merchants to stop throwing trash In
sight of the public roads and streets
in violation Of the health laws.

Give Interesting Talks
About the Bridge
BUILDING OF BRIDGE
BELIEVED ASSURED
Detailed Committee Reports
Will Be Submitted
!.
In Near Future

One of the most enjoyable lunch-
cons yet given by the Covington As
sociation ct Commerce took place
last Monday evening at the residence
OF Mrs. 9. L Fox, on Theard Avenue.
and to say the least we believe 1t
was one OF the most delicious lunch
cons we have had the pleasure Of at
tending, tact which it vouched for
oy the twepty-cdd guests attending.
Mayor Robt. w. Badon acted as
toastmaster and called upon Rev,
John f. Foster to ask blessings upon
the splendid repast.
Mr. p. G. Davis was called upon
to give some information as to what
had been accomplished by the bridge
committee Of the Association Of Conn
merce. Mr.. Davis told of how skep-
tical he was when first assuming the
duties assigned him, and how, upon
investigation, the proposition OF
bridging the lake really became
simple one after all. He told of let-
ters they had received from big men
in big affairs In the city OF New Or
leans, and how they were lending
their assistance to the proposition.
Mr.. Davis said that every man who
had been approached by the COM
assistance they could in putting the
plan over. Mr.. Davis said that when
the proposition was first spoken Of
he had figures in his mind as high
Of seventeen million dollars, but up
on investigation it resolves itself
down to something like five million
dollars-which, he believes will be
a simple matter to raise.
Mr.. H. "A. Mackie spoke Of his
visits to Col. Dent, u. s. Engineer,
in New Orleans, as well as other
reputable engineers to whom he had
spoken, and after telling Col. Dent OF
the plans as laid out, how he I'M
mediately became an enthusiast and
booster for the causeway. Col. Dent
said that one Of the most storm-re-
would be Of earth with retaining
walls and sloping beaches. This
plan is best because of the fact that
Galveston has not been able to resist
storms with massive concrete wall
on account OF the terrific impact
of water against the wall, whereas
big waves coming2upz q sloping beach
are broken before reaching the re-
tanning wall. Mr.. Mackie also told
Of his visit to Mr.. Walter Parker
Of the New Orleans Chamber of Com
merce, and how he, too, was among
he doubtful ones. until the plan was
outlined to him In detail, and when
50 presented how he grasped the
simplicity OF the plan. Mr. Mackte
said that when they left Mr.. Parker
he was a booster and worker for
The proposition.
The reports of the committees are
about complete and will be sub-
mftted to the Association OF Com-
merce in full in the near future.
Members of the committees are
very enthusiastic over the progress
they have made and all predict that
the bridge is almost sure thing
when final action Is taken.
