Flanagan was adopted:
Whereas much complaint has
been made by the citizens of Grant
parish as to the inability of the
parish to cash jury and witness
scrip, on demand, thereby forcing
citizens who attend upon the dis
trict court to sacrifice their scrip
at a discount of from Is to so per
cent or hold same eight or ten
months before cashing, and at the
same time giving rise to unfair
speculation in scrip by large tax
payers and by violators of the State
laws in payment of fines, thereby
giving to this class, who are least
entitled to assistance great advan-
tage over and at the expense Of
those citizens who are more emit
tied to advantageous Legislation;
and believing it wise and just to
borrow money alta reasonable rate
If interest and pay this scrip in
cash on demand, dedncting from
the scrip the rate of interest cllarg-
ed by the banking company, With
out costs or additional expense to
the parish.
Therefore be it. Resolved, That
