The School Tax is Assured

Supt. Alleman, DR.. Moss and
Mr.. Alcide Judice have been very
busy visiting different sections
of the parish during the past few
days in the interest of the special
school tax, and they find that the
people, generally, are very ia
vorably disposed toward the tax,
understanding as they do that
more school funds must be pro-
vided or the children of the parish
cannot have adequate educational
advantages.
In their canvas of the parish
this com mittee of gentlemen have
been able to correct the harmful
impressions created by some
false rumOrS, and in this way
new strength has been added to
the tax movement, and all indica-
tons point to another great tri
umph for the cause of education
in Lafayette parish.

IN NEED OF AID.
Relief Association to Have Benefit OF
Available Interest Fund.

Upon the request of Charles F. Weller,
secretary of the Citizens Relief Associa-
ton, the Commissioners have directed the
auditor for the district to pay to the treas
urer Of the relief association, in the usual
manner, such funds from the interest ac-
cumulation of the centennial inaugural re-
lief fund as are available for disbursement.
Mr.. Weller states that the relief assoeia-
ton is In need Of additional funds for the
work of the present season.
The centennial inaugural relief fund is
made up of any surplus moneys unexpend-
ed by citizens committees in charge of the
Inauguration ceremonies. This fund was
started several years ago, when the unex-
pended contributions of citizens for the
work Of the inaugural committees was
turned into a relief fund, instead Of re-
turning the money tc the contributors. The
fund was given into the care of the Dis
trict Commissioners as trustees, and each
year the accumulated interest Is turned
over to the treasurer of the Citizens Relief
Association for public charity work in the
District.

turns from the street-corner receptacles
into which the passers-by and busy Christ
mas shoppers are asked to drop small
change to help gladden. the hearts of the
worthy poor of the city have not been as
encouraging this year those of last.
Capt. Frank L. Roper, in charge of the
local corps, has confidence, however, that
the generous-hearted citizens Of the city
will come forward and lend their aid to the
worthy cause.
While the pots have not been kept boil
ing" to the extent the local corps desired,
still the managers are greatly gratified at
the responses received to letter appeals ad-
dressed to the different leading citizens of

ly printed, and calls the attention Of the
recipient to the fact of the near approach
of Christmas, while 1T g1ves the results of

the statement that this year more dinners
will be given, and earnestly appeals for
