The Treasurer's Compensation,

At the last meeting of the
School Board the following pre-
amble and resolution, which ex-
plain themselves, were offered by
Mr.. L. A. Sandez, enc of the
best posted men of the Board,
and one who, regardless of per-
sonal considerations, has recently
given some striking proofs of his
devotion to the public interests.
On motion of DR.. Ray, who de-
sired to examine more closely into
the matter, consideration of the
resolution was postponed until
the October meeting. In order
that all the members of the Board
and all other intelligent citizens
may have an opportunity to study
this question before that time, we
herewith republish the resolution:
Whereas, the law provides that Parish
Treasurers shall be the eust0dians of ftheschool
funds of the various parishes, and that their
compensation as such cust0dians shall be fixed
by the State Board of Education. according
to the territorial area of each parish and the
amount to be disbnrsed, but i'll no case to ex.
ceed n per cent of the amount disbursed; and
Whereas, the compensation of 0ur Parish
Treasurer, as such, has been fixed by the Police
jury at $500 per annum, which in itself, consti-
tutes fair remuneration for the performance
OF all his duties both as Parish Treasurer and
as eX-OHiclO Treasurer of tho School Board,
particularly now that the Parish Fiscal Agency
disburses ali the parish funds and
Whereas, the State Board of Education, not
withstanding the large territorial area of st.
Landry and the increasingly large sums dis
bursed for public education in this parish. has
failed to provide for a reduction In the com
mission paid to our Parish Treasurer, which
commission has of late years amounted to about
$700 per annum, making his total compensation
about $1,000 per annum-an amount far III eX-
cess of the value of the services rendered !;
therefore, be it
Resolved, in view of the facts recited above,
of the fact that both the Police Jury and the
School Board are heavily III debt, and OF the
further fact that more money is needed for
public education In our parish, that the State
Board of Public Education is hereby respect
fully and mo- earnestly requested to hx the
commission of thezTPeasHref for the diSburse
ment of our school funds at one-quarter of
per cent, w.ieh, added to his regular sal AIRY
would be ample compensation for his services
OF course, it would be well if
the Board adopted this resolu-
tion unanimously, but even if it
should not adopt it at all the
State Board will doubtless rectify
the great oversight it has been
guilty of as soon as its attention
is called to it.
