The recent action of the Police Jury
of our parish shows that that body, or
a majority of its members, do not care
a fig for expenses, Ito the parishl, when
it comes to carrying out the pet scheme
of some of the so-called anti lottery
managers on the parish printing ques
ton. Instead Of bliodly following The
dictation of certain interested parties,
it weuid have cost the parish nothing
to have the question investigated and
settled by committee or otherwise, as
TO when the contract With the COURIER
and Democrat expires If it expires in
January, the Jury would be perfectly
justified in its action If it expires in
October, the Jury's action shows that
the claim of retrenchment and reform
in the parish printing, set up by some
of the "immaculaten is all humbug,
and may prove very expensive sam
pie of retreneiiment TO the parish, while
those mainly Instrumental 10 forcing
this expense on the parish, can well af-
ford to get IN their little job on the tax
payers as it viii cost them nothing.
