num and IN regard to this matter,
the Grand Jury really believe that
el5O.W would be an ample compen.
sation, ~ there are only fOur annual
regular sessiona Of the Police Jury,
the irregular meetings or what may
happen, cannot br taken into consi.
deration in establishing this compen.
sation. Art. IS of Section II of the
Police Jury regulations, aays that
any peraon not q member If the Po-
lice Jury, and having q commurica.
tion to make to the Police Jury,
shall address the same to the Presi-
dent ou to the Secretary Of the Police
Jary. The Grand Jury would he
tleairoua TO know whether thia com.
mnnication 10 tn he made in writing
or verbally. This article Il. very am
liguOns, and can he constructed a.
the case may require. On one occa-
sion, the only sitt:ng of the Police
Jury at which the f.reMan Of the
3sand Jury ever aaaisted, he wns
aurpvisetl tn see the Secretary of tho
Police Jury. who ia not q member of
that body, take the floor without ev.
en- asking for it, and address the Po-
lice Jury.
The Grand Jury further state that
art. q Of the approximative Tahlran
of Expensea for the year 1879. should
never have bern approved, nor
adopted by the Police Jury. to give
away si0O.OO of the peoples money
fnr the compilation and printing Of
these regnlations.
In p~rusing the Warrant Book pre-
aented BY the Auditor Of Parish Ac-
counts, the Grand Jury wac snrpris-
ed N see warrants in blank signed
hy the President of the Police Jury.
The Andit"r explains this irregnla-
rity BY saying that II 10 done to faci.
litate the transaction Of bnsiness.
Then in our opinion. there IL no need
Of having . Police Jury, much less of
n mock president of that body. since
business can h~ transacted more ca
silly without him by the occupant of
an Office created by art. E., sect. III,
Of the Police Jury regulations, . mo.
del Ot clearnesa and simplicity.
The Psrish Trrasnrer furnished to
the Grand Jury, q set ofnew hooks :
one containing the Noa. and the
amount of warrants receivable for
taxea, and the other showing the
NOs. and the amount Of warrants
received by him in settlement with
the tax Collector showing farther
that there IL No money in the Treas.
ury, nay the Parrish owes its Treas.
urer, his commission.
Art. 8 If approximative Tahlean

tiona. The Grand Jury do not see
the necessity of having such an on.
Ger.
According IN . resOlntiOn of the
Police Jury. six syndics were ap-
pointed with an animal salary Ot
tlN,.M each. According tn the views
of the Grand Jury. half that smonnt
would be simple sniiicisnt; the part
irs appointed ~ Synsiics are entirely
ignorant of duties aud qualifications.
