propriation for Schools
/ Defeated.
The Police Jury met last
Thursday with all members pre-
sent.
The Grand Jury waited upon
the jury in body and requested
Nn advice of Judge Debaillon
that an extension of time be
granted to the people of the
parish for payment of the special
road tax. The Jury granted the
petition and extended time to
October 10 inst.
By motion of Mr.. Wilmington
the road overseers were instruct
ed to notify all delinquents of
road tax after October 10 to
perform road duty in default Of
penalties provided by law.
Mr.. J. r. Davis asked that the
Rayne and Crowley Realty Com
pany be notified to open drain
to public road in Duson, La.
Ordered.
In the matter of incenses due
by Ralph Foreman and Alton
Foreman, it was decided to place
the entire case in the hands of
District Attorney Campbell and
Attorney G. Fl. Mouton.
Messrs. Blanchet and Whit
ington reported that through
Mr.. Williams, of Vermilion, a
ferryboat had been secured for
the D. O. Broussard crossing.
out owing to unknown cause the
boat had not been putt in service
necessitating the temporary
abandonment of the transfer.
The committee was continued
and urged if possible to secure
another boat. The secretary
was instructed to notify the
Vermilion jury Of the appoint
ment of Messrs. Wilmington,
Landry and Mouton as a con-
ference committee ON the re-
building of the bridge ait or near
the D. 0. Broussard crossing.
Mr. Buchanan moved to fix
the rate Of taxation for 1903 at
I8 mills om the dollar. Mr..
Mouton moved as a substitute to
fix the rate at 10 mills and the
substitute carried by the follow
ing vote: Ayes-Billeaud, Mou-
ton, Landry, Blanchet and
Broussard- Nays Buchanan,
Alex Broussard, Lacy, Whitting
ton.
In making the motion to reduce
the rate from ten mills to eight,
Mr.. Buchanancontended that the
people were entitled to a reduc-
ton, owing to the additional spec
ial taxation they had recently i'm
posed upon themselves for school
purposes; that retrenchment in
expenditures should be made,
and, if necessary, the appropri
alton for schools should be cut
down. Mr.. Buchanan proceeded
to criticise many school practices
and methods in rogue, and ar
gued that the best way to correct

laxity and abuse upon the part Of
the school authorities was to re-
duce the appropriation made.
Mr.. Mouton and others contended
on the other hand that the items
of expenditures for 1908 had al
ready been fixed; that there had
been no increase in the assess
ment, and, therefore, any reduc-
ton of the rate was impossible.
The parish had assumed certain
obligations and the Assessor
books showed that the amount of
revenue at 10 mills is barely suf
ficient to meet the budget esti-
mate. The schools in particular
needed all that had been allowed
and more, and the Jury stood
pledged to appropriate every
cent possible for their mainte-
nance and improvement.
President Billeaud appointed
Messrs. Mouton, Landry, Blan-
chet and Greig to make budget
for 1904, and expressed the earn
est hope that no reduction would
be made in the items for schools.
The donations for the Carencro
road were accepted and ordered
recorded.
The treasurer's reports showed
cash balances, general fund,
$437.70; special road fund.
$1o33.49.
The Jury then adjourned.

DESPERATE ATTEMPTS TO

Demand from Shorts Effective in Causing e Rebound of Prices. Market Turns Strong in
 Last Hour.

NEW YORK, Aug. Io.-Measures were adopted in Wall Street today similar to those of last Thursday. when the demoraiised break In stocks was checked by the opportune pro- tective measures of large banking interests and market managers for various stocks. There was similar hurrying back to the dnan- cisI district by prominent men In the financial world to repair the damage by Saturdays vio- lent break in prices. The downward plunge of prices was checked for the time. but there was no such sustained tendency to recover as was the case last Thursday and the senti- ment regarding the market continued feverish and unsettled throughout the day. The early dealings gave clear indication of the large part played by professional operation on the short side. in causing Saturdays slump in the market When 1t became clear this morning that enecttve measures had been taken to hold prices at the start, there was something of \ scramble amongst the shorts to cover their outstanding commitments. which caused a strong rebound in prices. The demand was notably urgent for Canadian Pacific and that stock loaned at premium for use over nf$ht, which offered Inducements to refrain ffoin forcing the shorts to cover completely. The stock after being rushed up points conse- quentiy eased of: The demand from shorts was very conspicuous also in Union Pacific. Southern Pacific and Metropolitan Street Rail- way which 1t will be remembered was hercely raided by the bears on Saturday. The market turned strong in the last hour and the early top level was generally exceeded and the ac- tive stocks rose from to points over Satur- days closing level. Union Pacific was con.
