parish are in such bad way, that nc
acrobatic accounting is needed to prove
a deficit, and that the problem is one of
morsls and finance, and under both
heals, every man must find it matter
of personal interest.
The last Police Jury discussed this
sabject and suggested remedy-to fund
the debt, and if ] remember Alright, to
borrow money OH bonds secured by the
revenues of the parish.
The idea was that money could be
got on the security of these revenues, in
New Orleans or elsewhere, at much
lower rate of interest than the parish
pays on material furnished and work
done on credit, but of course such a
plan would not recommend itself to the
minds of the financiers who made up
the report under consideration.

Baton Rouge Advocate The Bien-
Vile New Era complains that in getting
out an extra edition of it's paper for the
benefit of its local and parish interests,
it did not receive that encouragement
and support it deserved, but that its
editor and proprietor bore all the bur-
den. This is a great mistake on the
part of the people of Bienville. The
New 3ra's enterprise was worthy of their
support in every sense of the word.
There is an insane idea in the mind oil
many person.. that il costs nothing to
run a paper, and that it is the duty OF
the proprietor to insure all that is re-
qnifed to make a frst-class paper with
out any obligation on the part of the
public to support It.
