The lack of a dumping place
for the silt from dredging opera
tions was pointed out as the
main obstacle in the continue
ton of the work. Some residents
whose property borders the har-
Dor have refused to allow this
silt to be placed on their land
because IL repeatedly kills grass
and trees. However, a petition
will be circulated among pro-
oerty owners for permission to
lump the silt on their land.

lions will be received up to the

Ma Cooley's Place, was taken
up at the Civic Council meeting

the building, which was closed
by law enforcement officers less

it is a traffic hazard, blocking
divers view on the west ap-
proach to the bridge. Members
of the Council said that it is also
a blow to the present beautifica-
ton program.
II was decided to take the mat
ter up with the Highway Depart
ment since it is believed that the
building is on the right-of-way
of Highway 80.
Mrs. David Clements brought
up the matter of a colored swim
ming pool before the Council and
several locations were discussed.

The oldest, and one of the
most interesting places to be

been misnamed as it was built
not by the Spanish but by the
French in 1871 as a protection
against Indians and Spanish
troops. The fort was constructed
under Sieur Joseph de la Pointe,
an admiral in Bienville's fleet
maintained on Chatahoula Lake,
now known as Krebs Lake, to
protect the royal concessions OF
the Duchess de Chaumona at
