HIGH LICENSE IN YER
MILLION.

Monday the Police Jury enacted
Two important ordinances, which will
no doubt greatly advance Vermilion
parish on the high road to Progress
and Morality. They adopted an
ordinance fixing the retail liquor or
saloon license at one thousand doi-
lars a year, and n charging one
hundred and fifty dollars per aanum
for keeping a public dance. hall or
Ball room. ii Public balls are always
d menace to the peace and order of
She community. Being open to the
public and run more for revenue
tGan amusement, they are f%reQuented
by rowdies and DULLES who are not
allowed admission to private socfal
gatherings. They are usually CON-
v~enient TO the little cross roads sa-
}oon and whiskey forms a proml-
1ent and highly attractive feature of
The entertainment.
! High license, while a novelty here
is no antried experiment, and the re-
salts of the operation of the measure
IN the adjoining parishes of Cafca-
sieu, Lafayette and Acadia leave
small room for doubling the prop
g1ety and usefulness of this law as a
matter of public policy. The multi
piled evils of the little cross roads
grog shop, with'i its little crowd Of
oilers and loungers, who gather there
ut the neglect of their families, crops
and business, furnish an argument SO
forcible and palpable that all the
sophistry in the world cannot prevail
against il. " ".. 1-
I We are told that a petition favor
ing high license was extensively cir
aculated in Prairie Greig and signed
by nearly every taxpayer in the
ward. This will give an idea OF the
popularity of the move.
The vote of the Jury stood: For
high ~license-Harrington, Eldredge,
Hoffpauir, ThealI. Against-P. D..
Leblanc, Babilas Leblanc and A.
Picard.
The only question now is "will the
Police Jury stick?" They are noted
fer being ."mighty u~nsartin" in a!
pinch. ".. .s..,s II |

Their surveyse had been made and
contour maps made.
Alderman Stoddard said that his
views on the subject agreed with Mr..
Brassey's and Mr.. Kings, and he
thought that they had better let OF
ten keep his water. as in his opinion
the Spring creek route was the best,
even II II took time to complete. He
also asked what 1t would cost to get
expert advice on the subject and who
they could get.
Mr.. King said that he would be
glad to assist the city in any way he
could and his services would be en-
tirely free. He stated that any press
ure needed could be obtained by the
use Of the pumping plant and that
in his opinion 1t was advisable to
take steps to put In a complete and
satisfactory system, as there was no
doubt that the city would grow, rail.
road or no railroad, and that the min
ing operations would undoubtedly be
heavier ten years from now than at
present. He mentioned the fact that
the city could, II 1t was thought neces.
sary, pay for work with warrants,
which they could redeem when the
extra bond issue was made.
The following motion was made
by Mr.. Brassey and carried unani.
mously: That the city establish a
water system consisting of a tempo
rary plant on Spring creek, at some
designated point, with q view to ex.
tending system to head of creek at
some future time and connect the sys.
TEN to all gravity system"
The mayor said that he thought
the city engineer should be instruct.
co as to what data II would be nee.
essary for him to obtain, and after
considerable discussion Mr.. King
was asked to explain what was nee.
essary. Mr.. King said that 1t would
be necessary to get contour mar of
proposed line to the head of Spring
creek and a map of the city showing
where pipe should be laid. II is also
necessary to obtain contour map
showing where main sewer should be
laid, on which the buildings should
be plated so that 1t could be seen
at a glance where mains are needed.
The question of right of way up
Spring creek was brought up and it
was decided that a committee be ap-
pointed to interview the various land
owners along the creek.
The mayor appointed Aldermen
Eldridge. Wright and Bebb as the
interviewing committee.
The city engineer was instructed
to make necessary surveys for the
proposed gravity system and a con-
tour map for the sewerage system.
Mr.. Brassey moved that the street
commissioner see Mr.. Bright and
have the electric light wires placed
SO that no damage would result to
the trees throughout the city. The
motion was passed unanimously.
The matter of the ensuing city cleo.
tons was brought up and it was de.
cided to hold a special meeting in
two weeks to appoint officers Of cleo
ton.
The meeting then adjourned.
