Bond Issue To Be Made Tc

IS 2700 ACRES
Tax of $2.16 Per Ace and
38 Cents for Retiring
Principal.
One of the most important move
ments that has been made in St
Tammany parish is the establish
ment of Drainage District No. 1
with a view to issuing bonds to covea
cost of draining and putting in con
dition for cultivation 2700 acres o
land situated in the First Ward. I
is said there will be little difficult]
in disposing of these bonds, as they
have been readily sold in other drain
age districts created in 'Louisiana
E. J. Frederick, Geo. Koepp, Jr.
James Koepp, Robt Koepp, Geo. H
Koepp are the promoters of this ven
ture. The land will be assessed a
.443 per acre and the taxes will be
$2.54 per acre-$2.16 per acre tai
and 38 cents per acre to retire *por
blon of the principal.
Besides the increased value tha
will be given to this particular land
It is probable that this parish wil
reap the further benefit of having
many others in the parish whohe
lands would become more .vluablb
'by drainage follow the lead that ha;
been made by Drainage District No
1. Good drainage of all the land,
in St. Tammany parish would place
it on an agricultural par with and
parihb' in the State.

I NO CHANGE IN
SITUATION AS
TO GERMANY
AND U. S.
Since diplomatic relations have
a been broken off between the United
States and Germany nothing has oc
e curred to materially alter the situa
e tion previously existing. A large
e number of vessels have been sunk
s of other neutrdl nations, but United
States vessels have escaped, thus far.
SLondon, Feb. 8.-The German gov
. ernment will require guarantees that
Count von Bernstorff, former Ger
man ambassador at Washington, and
the men on German ships in Ameri
can ports, will be permitted to leave
the United States before allowing
Ambassador Gerard and other Am
ericans in Germany to depart from
that country, according to the Cop
enhagen Politiken.
This information, the Politiken
, says, is contained in a telegram sent
by Ambassador Gerard to the Am
erican legation at Copenhagen.
SIBerlin, Feb. 7, via London, Feb. 8.
d -The breach of diplomatic relations
between the United States and Ger
many has disclosed that there are
400 Americans in Berlin, a large
e majority of whom have applied to
the United States embassy for pass- l
ports or alterations permitting them I
to leave Germany.
