THE SCHOOL TAX.

1t is with regret we report the
result of the election held in st.
Martin parish last Saturday, sub
uniting to our people a special tax
of three mills for two years and
two mills for eight years, which
tax would have been SO light as to
cause no great hardship upon any
property owner, but yet, light as
the tax was, the people of all the
wards, except the first, voted
against it. and have placed them
selves on record against progress
and against education, even in
dustrial education.
1t is however, source Of salts
faction for us to say that st. Mar
tinville voted the tax of five mills
for twenty years in favor of the
Industrial School, without a sim
gle vote of opposition, and that
the first ward, also voted the tax
with only one vote against it,
therefore, the shame of this de-
feat lies upon the second, third,
fourth and fifth wards, they pre-
fer to remain in their present
ignorant condition than to spend
q few dollars for the education of
the masses of the children of this
parish, not for one year, or short
time. but for all generations to
come.
We could not get the figures
from the returns of the elections
held last Saturday for the reason
the commissioners of the Fifth |
ward have sealed all books and pa-
pers in the voting box, and the
do not seem to care
much about making any return.
Why not make the returns
promptly, by opening the Fifth
ward box, or if it can't be opened,
make the return without this box.
One year of industrial schooling
for the commissioners of that ward
might have been profitable to
them.
