The Debt Adjustment.
OpBtocSAs, Nov. 36th, 13S0.
M r . E ditor -.
Iu the last issue of the Acadia
r\el an attack is made upon myself au4
the two other commissioners of St.
Landry on the adjustment of th« debt
of Acadia to St. Landry which is un
jusi
As you must be aware, l have used
my utmost endeavor to have tho at
tendance of every member of the joint
commission at the meeting of the 0th
inst. by private and published notice of
the same : aud, if only on# me«ib#r from
Acadia pariah responded to the call, >o
blame can attach to rnyeajf as chairmaa.
The basis of settlement had ioug since
been agreed upon by a full meeting, in
cluding the Acadia members, and the
debt fixed at the sum of $14,9X9.71.
The Eflxt thing to do was to ascertain
the amount of taxable property situ
ated in Acadia in I860. J hat had been
done and I called a meeting of the com
mission to take liual action in the pre
mises. Rut in the absence of the com
missioners from Acadia we could not
and did not undertake to do more than
ascertain the proportion of said sum of
$24,02!) 71 which Acadia owes on the
taxable property situated in its boun
daries as borne ou the Tax Roll of 1886.
If Acadia has any claim for assetB,
property, &c., they ought to haw been
made known by her representatives at
the meetinjr last called; in their ab
sence we declined to touch the matter,
i foeling that this would be an attempt
on our part to represent Aaadia.
The representatives of Acadia, ej
cept Mi. Peltou, who did riot feel au
thorized to represent his parish in the
absence of his colleagues, haviog failed
to appear at the meeting called to close
tip the entire matter, we, thecommis
i gioners from St. Laudry, eould not do
otherwise than as we did. Having fin
ished tlie work as far as praetieable to
the best of oui ability and in a spirit of
fairness, we have beeu discharged. The
duty and responsibility for any future
action iu the premises devolves upon
the police jaries of the two parishes.
Respectfully yours,

E ditor D emocrat :
Dear Sir—I notice you have been urging tiie
Town Council of Opelousas to have an arte
siau well sunk. I will return to St. Landry
some time this winter and will bring one of my
large steam outfits with me to sink a few more
wells on "Dixon <1 rove." I am running seve-1
ral large steam outfits on the Mississippi river,
and sink well# of any size, from 3* inches in
diameter up to tlie largest pipe made. I have
sunk several wells here this season ior sugar
planters which supply from 300,000 to 400,000
gallons of water every 24 hours. They are
from fi to 8 inches in diameter and are pumped
with steam jmmps with G-ineh suction.
These wells are not self-flowing. Planters
do not want self-flowing wells as they arc much
more costly, and tho water would have to bo
pumped at any rate, as it could not Jlmr into!
boilers against a steam pressure, or through
the condensers of vacuum pans.
I am sinking wells hero in competition with
two well companies from New Orleans and one
from St. Louis. I have never had a single com
plaint against one of my wells and I have sunk
as main as tlie other three companies alto
gether. This is more than either of the other
companies can say.
I am prepared to sink artesian ((lowing or
pumped) wells of any size, and would like to
sink one for the town of Opelousas this winter
while I am at home. If they desire a well and
wish me to sink it, I will contribute as much
toward it as any our man in the town of Ope
lousas or parish of St. Landry.
Very truly yours,
J no . M. W aiii :.

make a bid to furnish them with a plant. I
have just made a bid to supply a refinery with
one and a quarter million gallons every tweri
