finally determined to reorganize that

were present in the Senate out of a
membership of thirty six. The Senate
went into a reorganization, and Hon.
John L. Walton was elected president
by seventeen votes, he himself voting
for Mr.. Augustin, and the latter voting
blank and protesting against tho reor-
ganization. Tho only purpose of the
reorganization was to turn Senator
Robertson OF this parish out of the
presidents chair and Senator Fontenot
of this parish voted for it.

Report of the Grand Jury on the Par
ish Jail.
TO the Honorable the Police Jury of tho 10 nj;

To the Honorable the Police Jury of the parish
OF st. Landry.
has come when the parish of st. Landry should
erect IA new jail. The present jail was built
ABOUT 80 or 40 years ago, since that time, our
population has more than doubled. and though
at the time OF its erection amply sufficient for
| the needs and wants of the parish is now totally
inadequate. 1t is moreover SO t1ilapidated that
1t cannot be repaired or kept in proper sanitary
condition for the detention of prisoners with
all the care that can be exercised by tie tailor
| or sheriff. The Grand Jurors would 1urther
call attention to the fact that the erection OF a
| new Federal Court in Louisiana holding SEES
| slOns at OpelOusas will necessarily greatly in
crease the number of inmates OF said Jail within
| 1he next twelve months, as prisoners are liable
! to be confined therein under process of the
| United States Courts from any Of the parishes
comprising the Western District of Louisiana.
| In addition TO these reasons the Grand Jurors
would call attention to this fact that since 1868
every grand inquest OF this Court has con
demned said jail, and though ten or fifteen
Thousand dollars have been spent in repairs on
said Jail in paying for extra guards and for
ironing and mirroring prisoners, DC, still the
jail Is unfit for the Use of any civilized commu-
nifty. Your grand inquest further call attention
to the fact that owing to the crowded condition
OF the Insane Asylum of the State, many per-
SONS bereft OF reason and whose running at
large would be dangerous to the community !
nave to be consigned to said Jail and kept there
III for months and sometimes for years. That
no suitable accommodations can be had in said |
Jail for these unfortulates and that their IN |
fortunate condition while therein confined |
should appeal to the humanity of all and es |
pecially to you who alone have the power to
come to their relief. That owing to the in
creased revenues of the parish derived from
taxation the railroads recently constructed and |
now in process OF construction in our parish
our financial condition is such that the erection
OF a proper Jail would not seriously effect the
parish treasury. Wherefore the Grand Jurors
request your earnest and careful consideration
OF this suggestion and request you during the
coming year to make provisions for the cree
ton a new Jail.
Respectfully submitted,
