The DISTRICT BoUNDARIEs.-The ques-
ton ~ 70 where the boundary of the PAL.
ishes Of Orleans and Jefferson was drawn
previous to the annexation of Csrrollton,
vas . subject for repeated disputes, and
since the annexation the matter has proved
still greater problem. 1t is not generally
understood that neither the First nor the
Second Districts extend to the lake. The
fact is that the Third District extends to
the lower side Of the New canal ON the lake
shore. and above that is, or waa, the parish
Of Jefer1en. The Second District does not
extend b London avenue, and tho First
District line closes on the canal only short
distance beyond the old Metairie race course,
ALEC ending on the lower or north side OF the
New canal. This question has been raised
once more, caused by the death of Wash
Rockwell, which brought up the right OF
jurisdiction of recorders and coroners. That
portion above the New canal is certainly no
in the First or Second Districts, and can not
possibly be claimed for the Third. therefore
it must be in the parish of Jefferson.
Some maps make the fourth ward, that
from Canal to St. Louis street, in the Second
District, extend from the river to the lake
but the limits as defined in the city charter
gay that the lower limit Of the Second DIS
trict ID Esplanade street, and that thorough
faro strikes the New canal near Londor
avenue, and tracing it on in q straight lint
it il lost in the swamps of Jefferson parish
emile beyond Bayou Tchoupitoulas. Othe1
authorities assert that the fourth ward ex
tends FROM the river at the New canal. ant
thence enlarges clear TO the lake, taking il
considerable territory. which is almost on
tirsly swamp, and not inhabited
The old line between the parishes OF VI
leans and jefferson ran near the New canal
upper or south eide, not many yards frcn
tho water. The old Halfway House stoo
on the boundary. and the bar, oeln
located in Jefferson, paid it's license in Cal
rollton. Since the annexation that icens
has been settled in the City Hall.

things, yesterday morning managed TO
enter the st. Charles Theatre just before

stage in an excited manner and publicly

The Savings Rank Bill.

j. G. Brooks, Esq, of Belfast, was tie secretary
of the commission on savings banks laws that met
in this city Thursday, and will pu. the different
sections into shape for printing
The principal features OF the bill, in which the
public are most interested, are these in reference
to dividends and taxes. Savings banks now pay
G per cent. dividend Tor INTEREST," to depositors !;
under the provisions Of the bill adopted by the
commits toner's, annual dividends are limited to )
per cent, with the privilege howev Ell Of an extra
dividend on deposits of one, two and three full
years, when the fund reaches per cert. OF
its assets, and the reserve furd is to be made up
from the earnings of the bank Of one-quarter of
one per cent semi annually set apart for that pur
pose. No bank is to be allowed to make dvi-
dend Of o rate per cent. which would make the
aggregate of the div idend larger than the earnings
actually on hand.
The State tax ray able by the banks, is to be re-
duced from one per cent TO one-qualter of one
per cent.
Banks are prohibited from paying interest on
single deposits above $4,000, except deposits by
widows, orphans, administrators. executors, guar
disns charitable institutions and trust funds.
There are some very excellent provisions in case
the bank becomes ihsolvent, which are intended
to protect banks that are only slightly insolvent
from being placed in the hands of receivers, and a
forced sale being made of their securities. Banks
may be embarrassed, when by careful manage
ment on the part of the trustees they could
emerge from their financial troubles. The bill
will assist distressed banks in doing this.
The act is not to apply TO transactions legally
entered into previous to the time when it takes
effect.
The above are the general features of the bill
that of especial interest TO the public. There
are various other changes in the law, which will
be more fully given when the bill is ready to be
printed.
adoption of several of the provisions of the BILL but
whether minority report will be made remains
for time to fully develop.
The bill and report must 90 before the legisla-
ture, and will there be the subject of discussion
before adoption
