The meeting opened With a talk
by Mr. Duncan Buie, State Highway
Engineer, asking for an advance of
$250,000 from the $750,000 bond
issue recently voted by St. Tammany
parish (for parish roads) roe turned
over to the State Highway Engineer
for use on the Chef Menteur road.
After much discussion the members
of the Good Roads Commission were
asked by the chairman of the Police
Jury to go into executive session and
report on the matter. After being
out some time they brought in the
following recommendation:
To the Honorable Police Jury of St.
Tammany Parish, Covington, La.
,Gentlemen:-We recommend that
you advance to the state highway
engineer $25.0.000 for use in con
struction of the Chef Menteur state
highway to the Louisiana-Mississippi
state line at, or near, Logtown, Miss.,
the money so advanced to come out
of the funds reali-ed from the sale
of bonds recently voted by St. Tam
many parish for constructing and
surfacing of roads in that parish,
provided:
First-That assurance, positive
and satisfactory to you, is given that
the amount will be returned to the
St Tammany road fund within twelve
months.
Second-That assurance, positive
and satisfactory to you, is given that
the link of this state highway from
New Orleans to a point on the Louisi
ana-Mississippi state line at, or near,
Logtown, Miss., including all neces
eary bridges therefor, is fully and
properly completed, as provided in
Act No. 18 of the special session of
the Legislature of 1918, before any
part of the fund established by this
act, is used in construction of the
link from New Orleans to Ham
mond, La.
Third-That assurance, positive
and satisfactory to you, is given that
the state highway engineer will use
every effort to obtain government
aid to the greatest possible e'tent,
for the road from New Orleans to
the Mirsissippi line, at, or near, Log
town. Miss., at the earliest practi
cable date. That he will use the
first $250,000 obtained from this
source to reimburse the St. Tam
many parish road fund, just as soon
as it is received from the govern
ment, even though it be received in
less than one year. Further, that
he will turn over to St. Tammany
piriah all government aid he may be
able to secure for this road, no mat
ter how much it may exceed $250,00'
Further, that he will make every ef
fort to obtain as much government
aid as possible for any and 'all other
roads in St. Tammany parish, and
will prompt!y turn over to the St.
Tammany parish road fund all money
so obtained. guaranteeing that the
amount will not be less than $450,
000.00.
In submitting the foregoing rec
Ommendations we are prompted by a
desire to see St. Tammany parish do
anything it possibly can, in keeping
with safe and sane business methods,
that will afford opportunity for this
work to go ahead, and at the same
time safeguard the interests of the
taxpayers of this parish.
We delieve that the Chcf Menteur
road from New Orleans to the Lou
slana-Missi.zsippi line t hould be
built immediately, and that, with the
funds in hand, it coud be completed
in less than one year. If this shoald
be done, ther, ought not to be ally
trouble in conforming to the terms
of the proviso on which tlh.s recom
mendation i- predi:.aed.
There is not any doubt in our
minds that lhis is one of the most
important links in the syster- of Lou
hisana sta:e highways ne v con
templated, especiaily to the City of
New Orleans.. whose intere ts are
Paramount. :iand n:st especially so,
as the Parish , ;)orleans is providing
most of the uon.v that goes into the
fund resulting f:rom Act 18.
The building '; this link opens to
New Orleins. tra: le and travel to and
from two import.int national high
s~ays-that is. the .tackson National
I4ighway, runnina north through
Mississippi, paralleling the New Or
leans & Northea~trn Railroad, and
the Spanish Trail National Highway,
running east and west along the
isasissippi and Alabama Gulf Coast.s.

To Covington.
DINED AT SOUTHERN
BY ASS'N. COMMERCE
Engineer Buie Asks $250,
000 As Loan from Parish
Bond Issue.
Tuesday the Covington Association
of Commerce dined delegations of
citizens here from New Orleans and
Slidell, who came here about forty
strong to meet the people jointly
in the discussion of means by which
the Chef Menteur highway might be
constructed. The dinner was serv
ed in the Southern Hotel after the
meeting at the courthouse. Mayor
Martin IBehrman, Engineer Duncan
Buie, Commissioner Stone, L. M.
Poole, of New Orleans, and Mayor
Badon, J. D. Grant, F. Salmen, L. T.
Miles, Dr. J. K. Griffith, U. G. Neu
hauser, ;L. V. Cooley, +. W. Proven
sal, F. F. Wigginton, and others, of
Slidell, were in the delegation.
The plan was to use $250,000 of
the St. Tammany parish bond issue
toward building the Chef Menteur
road in St. Tammany parish that
would complete the road from the
Rigolets to Logtown. In exchange
for this Mr. iBuie ;promised to reim
burse the fund with a like amount
secured from the government aid in
about forty miles of post roads in
this parish.
During the discussion Mr. Fred J.
Heintz asked Mr. Buie if we were
entitled to government aid on these
roads and Mr. Buie answered that
we were. He then asked Mr. Buie
if we would not get this aid whether
or not we appropriated this $250,
000 to the Chef Menteur road. Mr.
Buie answered, "Well, I might die."
This retort brought Mr. Oswald to
his feet, who wanted to know what
kind of government policy it was that
permitted one man to control ie
money set aside for government aid
to post roads and dictatorially apply
it to whatever roads he saw fit, re
gardless of the just claims upon the
fund. This incident brought some
bitterness into the discussion. Mr.
Buie said there was nothing personal
in the matter and he deprecated be
ing made a target.

ability should their action deprive
the people of this needed road.
Mr. Domergue said that the mat
ter should be decided by the Road
ý,ommission, as it had been given
complete power by the police jury
and through the understanding of the
voters for the bond issue. Mr. Grant,
speaking for the commission, replied
that an attempt was being made to
pass the buck. to the commission.
That in this transaction legal au
thority rested in the Dolice jury.
After some discussion, Mr. Grant
stated, when it was suggested that
adjournment be taken until after 12
o'clock so that the commission might
consider the matter, that the com
mission could report in five minutes.
The commission then retired to the
jury room, w.here they consulted with
others interested. As time dragged
along it became evident that some
change had taken place since Mr.
Grant had stated it would take but
five minutes to report. It develop
ed later that Mr. Bouie had made a
proposition that would give to St.
Tammany parish government aid for
its post roads and return the $250,
000 borrowed within one year. r'or

THE INTERSTATE
WHOLESALE
GROCERS
The interstate Wholesale Grocers,
Inc., is a corporation which has add
ed distinction to St. Tammany par
ish. Its birth place is Covington,
La., where in pinafore attire it start
ed, as the Covington Grocery & 'Grain
Company, to convince the people that
a home service could be established
that could meet all outside compe
tition, conserve the interests of its
patrons and earn dividends for its
stockholders. Since then this com
pany has had a phenomenal growth.
Under the management of E. J.
Domergue an extensive business was
built .up, the further development of
which reached into new fields and en
couraged the establishment of branch
houses, which in turn rapidly in
creased in business and facilities.
He subsequently was made its presi
dent.
A short time ago the general of
fices at Slidell were fitted up in mod
ern style, both as to sanitation and
equipment, but scarcely had this been
accomplished, with the addition of
the new fire spri~gling system, giv
ing automatic fire protection, when
increased business gave warning that
in the very near future this building
will have to be added to and accom
modation made for an increased
force of employees. The Bogalusa
and other branches are also growing
rapidly.
Increase of capital has been neces
sary to extend the business in keep
ing with the opportunities offered.
Each time stock has found an eager
market, the last increase being made
when the Interstate Wholesale Gro
cers, Inc., was formed, taking in and
providing for the various branches,
when the capital stock was placed at
$500,000. The addition of a Hatties
burg branch and the New Orleans
increase in capital, and this increase
will be provided by the sale, on July
15th, of the $150,000 of stock reserv
ed from the authorized capital of
$500,000. The surplus and undivid
ed profits amount to $250,000, mak
ing capital, surplus and undivided
profits $750,000 on the sale of this
stock' July 15th.
Following are the officers and
board of directors:
Officers-E. J. Domergue, presi
dent and Treasurer; John T. Gib
bons, vice-president; J. S. Water
man, secretary.
Board of Directors-Fritz Salmen,
Slidell; J. S. Waterman, New Or
leans; R. L. Patrick, Laurel, Miss.;
J. A. Bousquet, Slidell; Max Schua
bacher, New Orleans; John T. Gib
bons, New Orleans; E. J. ,Domergue,
Covington.
The company will soon have to
build elevators to take care of its
constantly growing business.
The Columbian, of Columbia, Miss.,
contains the following account of the
establishment of the Hattiesburg
branch:
"The following from the Hatties
burg American of June 11 relative
to the organization of the Interstate
Wholesale Grocers, is of local inter
est because the new concern is the
mother house of the Pearl River Gro
cery & Grain Co. About five years
ago the local branch was established
here and the business started off un
der a manager, one boy and a dray
man and one horse and float. To
day they employ eight men and two
trucks and are contemplating the
purchase of a third truck. In 1917
their quarters were enlarged by the
purchase of the large building to the
east of the courthouse. C. L. Sim
mons, recently of Tylertown, is the
present manager and he and family
are rapidly identifying themselves
with our town life. The article fol
lows:
"The Interstate Wholesale Grocers,
Inc., one of the largest wholesale
firms in the South, will establish a
branch house in Hattiesburg within
the next sixty days, according to an
official statement given to the Hat
tiesburg American this afternoon by
E. J. Domergue, of Slidell, La., presi
dent of the company, who expects to
select a site during the afternoon on
which td erect a large warehbuse.
"Mr. Domergue states that his
company will erect a large building
in the Hub City at once and it ex
pects to expend in the building and
stock approximately )100,000. He
hopes that the Hattiesburg branch
house will be ready fo rbusiness with
in the next sixty days. Customers in
the South Mississippi territory will
be served from the Hattiesburg house

DEMAND FOR CARS IS GREATER
THAN SUPPLY.
The demand for high grade stand-.
ard makes of motor cars is far great
er than the factories can supply, says
R. H. Ferguson, manager of the Coyv
ington Garage, Columbia street, Cov
ington, agents for Studebaker Motor
Cars and associate damslrs for Dodge
Bros. Motor Cars. Practically all of
the larger and old eutablished fac
tories were engaged 100 per cent In
war work for the government up to
the signing of the armistice, and
since the factories have been turning
out cars again in ever increasing
quantities, they have been way be
hind the demand and orders are pil
ing up in advance for future delivery.
Any perso nwho has it in mind to buy
either a Dodge Bros. Motor- Car or a
btudebaker Motor Car, either four or
six cylinder model, will do well to
place their order at once so as to in
sure delivery of a car within a rea
sonable length of time.
A number of the new models of
Stubaker Motor Cars and Dodge Bros.
Motor Cars have been sold and de
livered to some of the prominent
citizens of Covington this season and
more cars have been ordered and
are in transit. Sample cars may be
seen at the garage on Columbia
street.

'SHIPYARDS IN MADISONVILLE
By D. H. Vinet.
MADISONVILLE WILL CELE
BRATE.
Our suggestion in last week's issue
with reference to the celebration of
the Glorious Fourth, in Madisonville,
has borne fruit, if one can judge by
superficial indications. The occasion
has stirred up the patriotic fervor ofr
the people to such high pitch of uni
ty and enthusiasm as has never been
known before. An elaborate pro
gram is in process of completion, em
bracing a grand old-fashion 'barbecue,
horse racing, foot racing, boat rac
ing, dancing, a baseball game, public
speaking by gifted Fourth of July
orators, etc.
We can not say that the leading
citizens of the town are preparing to
make this the moat memorable day
in Madisonville's history, but a day
that will long be remembered as the
greatest in the history of St. Tam
many parish and one which the en
tire State will be proud of.
An Invitation.
'Madisonville cordially invites the
citizens of St. Tammany and adjoin
ing parishes to participate in her
Fourth of July festivities, assuring
them a most hearty welcome to good
eats, good everything, *and pro

so that in future years they will al
ways be happy to sit down by the old
family hearthstone and tell their
children that away 'back in the nine
