From Avoyelles.

At a meeting of the taxpayers of
Avoyelles Parish, held in Bunkie on
the 22d inst, resolutions we're passed
protesting against the ''illegal and
arbitrary action of Judge a. V. Coco"
in ordering repairs made on the Court
house of AvoyelIes Parish, without
authority from the Police Jury. The
resolutions 60 on to state +:
And we further protest against the pay
ment of the bill presented to the Police
Jury for making said repairs, unless said
Judge Coco can show that he was au-
thorized by law to order said repairs to
be made. and we further protest against
the payment of said bill until the con-
tractor shall present an itemized account
of the work done.
That committee of three be appointed
by the chairman, to consu!ta lawyer, and
said committee is hereby authorized, If
the lawyer deem it advisable to bring a
suit in the name of the tax payers here
assembled to enjoin the police jury from
paving the said repair bill as ordered by
Judge Coco.
On this subject the Bunkie Btdde
editorially says:
The resolutions adopted by this meet
ing involve grave charges against two OF
our highest parochial officers, our Judge
and Sheriff. The one is charged with
usurping power that properly belongs to
another department of our government,
and the other is charged with refusing to
give an itemized account for work done
under his direction. The action taken at
the Taxpayers meeting will result in tho
rough investigation of the hold matter,
and these officers will be given an oppor-
tunity to refnte the charges made against
them. Our columns are open to these
gentlemen, if they wish to explain them
selves.

with fair trip.

last trip.

left here yesterday with two barges,
one loaded with two hundred Thousand
feet of lumber, and the other with 400

also took the quarry outfit, tools, etc.
On account of low water she will not
return, and the quarry work will he
discontinued. All the workmen were
paid off yesterday in Piueville. Most
Of them will very probably remain
and go TO work on the government
work in Piueville, or at the other
quarry near by that place.
