draining canals to carry the water from
Bienville street draining machine to the
swamp the other side of Metairie ridge. All.
derman Woolfiey opposed it, as the contract
was awarded a year ago wheL labor was
lower than at the present time, and the con.
dition of the city finances was not now
such as TO justify large expenditure. The
resolution was concurred in.
The school appropriation increase ordi-
nance came up for consideration as the
order Of the day. Alderman Woolhey said
he would prefer to expend even S400 600
instead of $500, 600 as provided for in the
ordinance for the education of the youth of
this city, and economic in some other
department. The mayor withheld his sig
nature from the ordinance because it did
not receive majority Of the votes of all the
members OF the board as required by the
charter.
Alderman Woolfey offered a resolution to
amend the market stall sale ordinance by
substituting G. +. Girardey as auctioneer
instead of having the sale conducted by the
city controller. He did this because a pro.
fessional auctioneer would be likely to get
better prices than the controller could OBJ.

ed by the Honorable ". N. Prescott, the
regular Republican nominee tor parish
judge, who on each occasion. in long, elo-

support of the regular state and parish nom

imperative duty of immediate and effective
organization, the necessity OF unity ofaCtion,
and the overshadowing importance of the
issues to be decided at the coming election.
The great champion of Radical Republicans
was listened to with the most profound at

EnteriBg into the spirit of the part heart
