POLICE JURORS.

In some wards. and perhaps all OF
them. the citizens, at the coming cleo.
ton, will vote for members of the Police
Jury and School Board. and the candi-
dates receiving majority of the votes
will be recommended for appointment
These officers ere not included in the
proclamation Of election. and in our
opinion, if the election commissioners
keep tally of the votes, it will be purely
gratuitous on their part. The idea il a
good one. however. as it will give all the
citizens an opportunity of expressing
their desire as to who shall represent
them in the Police Jury and School
Board. While the result will not be
necessarily binding. yet We believe the
candidates receiving the most vote.
should and would receive the appoint
ments. This would be but q simple act
of justice to ell concerned.
