VertlSementS In Sucl q parish
as Bossier, gives but very little
publicity. The law requires this
posting to be at three public
places, and specifies only the
Court house as one of them.
Now, there are at least a doz-
Ell trade centres in the parish,
and therefore, public places.
The posting places should be
fixed by some authority, so
that citizens might at least
know where to 60 in order to
look over the advertisements.
But when one sees a posted
notice, it is by no means SO
good as to nave it in a paper to
which he can refer at his leis-
ure.
Under the present law, as
there is a paper published in
Bossier parish, the Governor
cannot select a paper outside of
the parish to do ourpublic print
ing Where no paper is select
ed in the parish, a law of 1870
dttowS posting. Our lawyers
here all say that advertising in
legal matters in our paper is
lawful, but as the State author
tiles, by their acts, seem to hold
otherwise, they advise posting
as certainly lawful. AS a con-
sequence, much injury may be
occasioned to individuals and
the public generally. As ex-
amples, we can cite to the fact
of the letting of the contract to
repair the Court honse, which
was bid off at twenty-seven
hundred dollars-a very high
figure indeed. Again. a large
body Of lands was sold lately
at Sheriff's sale, known gener-
ally to be poor, but a consider
able portion was excellent creek
bottom land, which would have
brought a fair price, had the
neighbors to it known of the
sale. 1t sold, as the poors did,
at about Que dollar per acre.
Gov. Warmoth must take a
strange view of his duties I'M |
Ter the printing bill, for in it it !
S made his duty to select a pa |
Der printed in the parish to do
he public printing. Again, !
he goes outside of Bossier an d |
selects the Sparta Times for
'ur parish, which would be il
egal even were no paper pub
ished here, for in that event
ne law says he must designate
he paper nearest TO the parish
authorized to do the public
printing.
1t is to be hoped that the
resent Legislature will cor
ect the bad features in the
printing bill.
