mentioned act, every possible con.
tiDgency is provided for. Iu read
ing it, one is struck most with itH
c0mprehenSiveness, nothing seems
left ont, overlooked, or forgotten,
that would be needed to give prop
cr authority to town governments.
For this reason, it is too long to re
produce for our readers.
Other towns in Louisiana are al.
ready proceeding to adopt this char.
ter, and one Of the principal advan,
tageS in having it will be the Uni.
fnrmity established between this
and other towns. Any matter taken
before the courts by one town for
decision will furnish a precedent
for the Others,-no small cOnsidcra.

The charter provides for the gor'

to Il lower grade, or vice versa. 1t
provides for municipal elections
every two years. 1t is d charter
