sion.

Reading of the minutes was dispensed with
on motion duly made and seconded
There being no reports to be heard from
any OF the standing committees, the mayor
called for the report ot the special commit
tee on water works. when Mr.. Csillouet, on
the part OF said committee presented the
following report:
To the Mayor and Trustees of Thibodaux.
Gentlemen Your special committee
charged with the subject matter OF the water
works Tor the town OF Thiboda ux, begs leave
to report. that after a careful consideration
OF the subject, your committee la. reached
the conclusion that it will be necessary to le-
Wy special tox in aid OF the proposed i'm
provement, inasmuch the present reve-
nues OF the town are insufficient for the pur-
pose.
Your committee thinks that "a special tax
OF hve mills for a period of years, say some
ten years, will be sufficient, with such of the
revenues OF the town AS could be spared
from the ordinary expenses to construct the
water works by the town. With such a tax
levied. no difficulty will exist il. the way of
securing at once the necessary amount to
buiid tue water works and the town would
be In position to invite bids to construct
such plant as may be determined Oh by the
cnuncil.
TO levy such a tax it is necessary that the
council be authorized by the property tax
Payers OF the corporation at a special elec-
ton held for the purpose. The special elec-
ton can be called by the council only when
pefItioned for that purpose Dy at least one
tenth of the property tax payers of the cor
pOratlon. The special election is to be held
under the gen eral election laws of the State,
and a majority of the property taxpayers
voting must be in favor of the special tax in
order to authorize council to levy it.
Your committee does not present an Ordi-
nance to levy special tax, as the council is
powerless to act without the petition above
meEt t'Oned.
Should such petition be addressed to the
council the committee will at once present
the necessary ordinance submitting to the
tax payers the question of I. levy of spec
ial tax.
Respectfully submitted

The above having b en- ordered received,
considerable informal discussion relative to
the proposed water works ensued, when all
action GU the subject matter was deferred
until such petition mentioned by the above
report was It celved.
There being no further business the coun-
Gil adjourned to Tuesday next at 4 o'clock

commended it to several, who have tried 1t
and beeu cured"
Here is the voluntary testimony of most
estimable lady, that she was cured by Dr..
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy.
1t is wonderful tribute to the great
value of this medicine in curing disease.
There is large class of people who,
while not exactly sick, suffer from extreme
nervousness, feel weak and tired, lack their
old-time strength and ambition. They do
not eat or sleep we'll, wake mornings tired,
with dull-feeling head and no inclination to
take hold of their work.
To all such we would recommend Dr.
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy,
for it will certainly give strong nerves
and vigorous bodies-in fact will make you
strong and we'll.
The medicine is recommended by doctors.
1t is not a patent medicine, but the prescrip-
ton of the most successful living specialist
in curing nervous and chronic diseases, DIR.
Greene of "a Temple Place, Boston, Mass.
He has the largest practice in the world land
this grand medical discovery is the result of
his vast experience. The great reputation
of DR.. Greene is a guarantee that this
medicine will cure, and the fact that he can
be consulted by anyone at any time free of
charge, personally or by letter, gives abso-
lutte assurance of the beneficial action of
this wonderful medicine.
