On motions Of Mr.. Martin seconded by
Mr.. Guilbeau and unanimously carried
the Resolution adopted at Meeting of
March 9Th 1892 in reference to Parish
Chega- be and is hereby repealed. The
Sheriff Tax Collector is hereby author
lied to accept in payment of all Parish
dues said Checks for their face value.
A communication from Jos. A. Provost
A. b. l.. b. Commissioners from Iberia
Parish was received read and at request
OF the said Commissioner on motion of
Mr.. Martin seconded by Mr.. David, the
following Resolution was adopted.
Whereas congress at its last session
has adopted law prohibiting any one
from working more than eight hours
per day on government work. At the
same time said law fixes authority TO
the Secretary Of War of the U. S. to sus-
pend said law in cases of extraordinary
emergency.
Whereas it is of the utmost impor-
lance and most absolutely necessary that
that said law be suspended in case of
work done on the levees of this State, at
the epoch Of the annual rising of the
Mississippi River, because at the very
moment when it is indispensable to work
said levees it is very hard to get labor
ers to work said leyees, due to the fact
that as that moment sugar, Germ, cotton
and rice crops are being harvested,
causing scarcity Of labor.
Therefore De it resolved that we, the
Police Jury Of st. Martin parish. respect
fully request the Hon. tho Secretary of
War of the L. S. 20 suspend that said
/ law in so far as leyee work in the State
is concerned respectfully requesting his
attention to the fact that upon his ac-
tiOn in this depends the safety of a large
part Of our people and the protection of
the best portion OF the lands of Louisi-
ana.
! Be it further resolved that a copy of
this resolution be forthwith transmitted
to the Hon. Stephen b. Elkins L. S. So
cretary of War through L. S. Senator f.
| d. White.
