Governor Heard has appointed
Mr.. Gilbert Durand. Assessor for
st Martin parish. This was good
news to the local politicians, as
the delay in the appointment had
caused some of them to believe
that the old ring was working the
Governor in favor of Mr.. David
Rees. but the appointment of Mr..
Durand is proof that tho old time
rulers have no influence with the
administration, and that Liable is
now, beyond all doubt, the boss.

Read the proceedings of the po-
lice jury in this paper. Accor-
ding to an estimate there will be
dificit in the parish affairs for
this year of something like seven
Thousand dollars, which together
with the deficit of the past two or
three years, amount to quite a
large sum. And all this is due to
some loose management on the
part Of the police juries. This
new police jury cannot be held re-
sponsibie for this reckless expen-
diture of the public money, be-
cause they have been in Office on-
Iy since last April, but they seem
to be inclined to follow the exam
pie of their predecessors, to make
appropriations that should not be
made, and without consulting
their resources and their 6ances.
And this loose management oil
public affairs has brought discre-
dit upon the name Of the parish,
and to-day, the parish papers are
selling at a discount of ten pei
cent, and during the year were
selling at q discount of % per cent
and more, with few persons anxi-
GUS to speculate in parish script
A few years ago, during the Pre-
sidency of the late E. A. Duchsmp
