Meeting OF the Taxpayers.

At an adjourned meeting of the tax-pay.
ers of the Parish ofSt. Landry, held at the
Court House in the town of OpelOusas, or
the 2Sth of June 1869, Col. B. r. Rogers
in the chair, and Joel II. Sandoz, Sccreta,
~.
The committee of accounts appointed at a
former meeting for the purpose of invcsti,
eating the books and papers of the Police
Jury in regard to parochial affairs, having
been called upon to report, Mr.. F. A. King,
on the part ofsald committee, presented the
following Reportand Correspondence, which
were read by the Secretary, to wit:
OPELoUsAs, June 28th, 1869.
To Col. B. R. Rogers, and the Meeting of
Tax PAYERS over which you preside:
Upon the application of the undersigned
your Committee appointed to investigate, in
your behalf, the financial affairs of the Par
Ish, their report of such investigation vas
nnavoidably postponed until this time.
They were not then aware that any obsta-
cles would be ~interposed by the depositarics
of the ecords of the Police Jury to their
inspection and examination of them. I'm
der the impression that the authority Of the
people in this matter would not be question
cd, but promptly recognized, we made upon
the Clerk of the Police jury only a verbal
demand for the books, which proved unsuc-
~cessful, and it was not until the cod of Junc
that, in reply to a written demand, in your
name and behalf, We were promised the
desired inspection-and not even then with
out being coupled with a humiliating con
dition-that neither the books or papers
should be taken out of the office for pur-
poses of examination. Copies of our letters
and the replies are herewith appended for
your better information. In consequence
of this unexpected delay in the performance
of the task assigned US, we ask for a further
time, until the oath of July next, to pre-
pare our report.
Respectfully, &C.,
F. A. KING,
R. BENGUEREL, absent.
