Sidewalks.

A traveller who was in town this week, said
Opel0usas mas the worst sidewalk system of
any town in the State, and next comes ST.
Martinville, and Thlbodaux has the best. But
are as able to build sidewalks here as else
where. He is right. we cannot brag about our
sidewalks-st. Martinville Messenger.
The above shows us up as "eth-
ers see us, and unfortunately it
is too true. While Opelousas has
had the best streets of any town
in the State, its sidewalks have
been simply disgraceful. Several
spasmodic attempts have been
made for an Improvement in that
line, but with the exception of a
few isolated cases, nothing
tangible has been done. Some
few of our property owners have
gone to considerable expense put
ting down substantial sidewalks
fronting their properties, but
others have done absolutely moth
ing. We learn that our present
Board of Aldermen propose TAX
ing up the matter, and we sin
cerely hope they will do so. Let
our town Selennss adopt SOME good
law on the subject and rigidly en-
force it.

A Daisy.

Having pretty thoroughly ven
tilated the methods Of the parish
printer in reference to the parish
printing, a brief glance at this
officials methods in dealing with
the town printing would seem to
be in order, We have seen only
few of his bills for town print
ing, but one of them is a daisy.
Here it is
lsOO-Jan. is-To publishing Railroad or ), !,
This bill was approved last
May. As will be observed, the
number of squares charged for is
not given. An examination OF
tehe Clarion files shows that this
ordinance measures 5 Give
inches. Five squares, 5 times, at
contract rates with the town (25
cents for 1st insertion and IL
cents for each subsequent inser.
tionl, should cost $4.25. Amount
Of oyercharge, $5.75 ! But five
inches of his type, as we have
seen, do not make 5 squares, but
only 80 squares, including the
superfuous leads. Three and 6
half squares, 5 times, would cost
at 25c and 15c-exactly $500.
(Under the previous contract
which we had up to October
1898, when the Clarion obtained il
the same matter would have cost
$1.75, as the rate under our con
tract was 10 cents per square
straight.) The actual amount OF
oyercharge, on present contract
rates, is therefore $500, or oals
233A per cent
Gee Whiz !
That man evidently though
