PARRISH OFLA FOURCHE FER
RES.

AS will be seen IN this issue, the sal,
of the Ferries of the Parish of Lafour-
che, made on the 5th inst; by til.
President of the Police Jury. brought
throughout the Parish the sum of 81
$500 all told. This sale is made fol
two Years, beginning January LIST, 1892,
and ending December 51st, 1898.
The aggregate of the sale of the
same ferries, that took place two years
ago in the month of December, 1889,
was $40S7.50 making difference in
the two sales of $2595.5O. While we
believe that two years ago, one or two.
or perhaps three of the ferries were
adjudicated, on account of a large
competition. beyond a reasonable
price, yet we are OF the opinion that
the sale and price of adjudication this
year was far below what it shorld
have been. 1t cuts short the revenues
of the Parish, in such a manner AS
might embarras the current expenses
OF the year. Just think, one ferry
alone, that at Lockport, brought more
two years ago by $4,000, than all tile
ferries put together this year, this said
ferry having been sold in December,
1889, for S2O45, 90.
That plice, DO doubt, was too much
for the Loekport ferry, and Mr.. G. d.
Barrios, the purchaser, musthave been
the sufferer.
In cur humble opinion, in order to
obviate a repetition and a recurrence
of this falling below of what should he
the reasonable price of the lease of the
different ferries throughout the Parish.
the Police Jury ought to go to work.
and fix a price for the lease of each
and every ferry, according to its loca-
ton, and when the sale of same IS
made, zone to be adjudicated to any
bidder, unless the fixed price at least
is bid. Should 1t SO happen, that some
of the ferries would not bring the
price fixed let the Jolice Jury, through
