The Good Roads Question in This Court I

.;j Plaquemines to aid in the good roads propa- papersAnda that has been so actively encouad~d by McGeh

promises much to the whole state. As we Che Charlee

often remarked, the Parish of Plaquemines is The E

less fortunately situated than many of its neigh- ers wo

bors so far as the bettering of its roads is con- Mowan

eerned. The parish running out to sea as alont Park;peninsula, carrying the river in its

center, gives J. Lec

us practicallY two hundred miles of roads, or manone hundred miles on each side of the river to crat a

look after. We urged upon our readers last the N

should hope finially to settl: this difficult prob- A!lem. ,The latest scheme and one that seems to

ladie

be quite feasible, is for the legislature to author- a pap

Pi ish of St. Bernard, which has been the piG- musi

neer on the Lower Coast in the matter of good greal

roads, has already carried its shell road down to T

the Terre aux Boeuf road, some ten miles below ing t

the city limits, leaving about thirty-five miles of elect

road to be built for us to have a good road from dent

New Orleans to the Court House at Pointe-a-la- Firs

Hache. If this road were built we believe that Min,

property values all alent its line would: be veiry Flor

materially enhanced. A sale has recently, been Hon

made of the upper part of the Poydras plantsa Tre-

tion, 2.50 arpenta•rontage having been sold for Den

$10,000, or a basis of $4,UO( per arpent front, nex

turning forty airpit4 deep, ajthough of this on

the public road 2.50 arponts ftrntge of a shal-low depth had already been sold. All this. idi- ever.tes the full vhlkieof about $4,000 per front ar- Ma:

1 ent for lands alohg the line of the shell road chil

within easy reach of New Orleans for market fur

garden purposes. Pre

The advantage of the road to those going to to 1

the parish seat of Pointe-a-la-Hache and to any ref

intermediate point would be .wonderfully great hot

and the parish would have automobile visitors pai

by the score every week aid probably every for

day, if the roads were put in order for that pur- att

pose and our advantages receive such advertis-

ing that it would be impossible to get otherwise. W

It takes a good deal of c6nfidlence to look pli

sufficiently far into the future to ask posterity to in:

liquidate the bonds of such a road. The building kn

up of the great West, however, wasdoneby just. te:

such foresight of the people of the great c

West. The farmers themselves as well as the a

railway builders anticipated the wealth that was C

to come from the increased population later on

S and the development of the agricultural and dc

mineral wealth of the country. If the road dis- li!

trict of which we write, that is from Poydras' to A

Rointe-a-la-Hache, could be organized, it is fair I

to infer that long term bonds, sufficient to build n

thM road could be floated and long before b

te bonds would fall due the property will have n

ulBled in value, just as surely as the lasJ in e

p1pna, Illinois and Iowa hive doubled, trippled, g

r quadrupled in price withir the lives of a. sin- d

gle generation.Os the West bank of the rnier it would be

t

omparatively easy t intlgurate and build a a

shell road fomaorAlgiers d$oiin into the orange

gountry,. altogether some sixty miles of distance. t

Bi paralleling the Grand Islandmairoad through

the marsh lad bellow Algiers some ten or i

twelve miles of distance would, be cut off and

then it would be plain, sailing, or may we say

pin motoring, ,all the way-down to Buras.

- Oh the EasE nk &f the river below Pointe-

- laHache the* is a 4tretch of fine tertitory

tlirty or mote miles long, which would justify

the:building of M' ,bell road along the firont.

This country can be made as fine an orage

gpowing country as the other side of the river,

provided the back levee is raised sufficiently

high to prevent the invasion of the sea 'dtying

the occasional storms that visit that sectien

every three or four years. The legislaturP in

tking up this nytter would necessarily have to

form some general law about road districts, just

as it has done about drainage districts, and

while a short cut from Poydras to Pointe-a-la-

Haehe would seem to be the most eusily built

setion, yet the way would be open for any of

the other proposed sections whenever their peo-

ple may desire the improvement
