our fathers and forefathers this fer
tile Delta would be wilderness, un-
fit for cultivation or habitation.
Therefore, the most important and
vital interest of the people of Bolivar
County is the levees and the Boards
that conduct levee affairs.
The people of Bolivar County pay,
annually, in levee taxes, more than
three hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars, more than half the total rev.
enue of the Board, yet they have no
voice in the selection of the mem
bers of the Board.
All that we have depends upon the
levees. Without them our drainage
would be impossible, our roads and
schools a failure, our agricultural
and other interest destroyed. There
fore / say the people should have a
voice in selecting the members OF
the levee Boards which are to con-
duct the affairs Of the levee districts.

the Constitution providing for the
election of Levee Commissioners by
vote of the people. 1t passed the
