our issue Of two weeks ago that no
reference is made to Police Juries in
the new constitution. Article 245 of
that instrument reads thus:
The Police Juries of the several par
lshes and the constituted authorities of
an Incorporated municipalities of the
State shall alone have the power of regu-
lating the Strengthening Of cattle and
other live stock within their respective
limits; prorided, no monopoly or exclu-
sive privilege shall exist in this State.
nor such business be restricted to the
land or houses Of any individual or cor
poration; prOrided, the ordinances desie-
mating the places for Strengthening shall
obtain the concurrent approval Of the
beard Of Health or other sanitary organ
'izatiOn.
This does not, however, alter the
fact that n" provision is made in the
proposed constitution for the election
of Police Jurors and that the Acting
Governor was not in error. when he
failed to include those officers in his
proclamation. '.- 80 = g
