Sidewalks in Sight at Last.

We wish to record our empha-
tic approval of the action of our
Board of Aldermen this week in
giving out the contract for put
ting down $4,000 worth of side
walks, the work to begin within
the next few days. This is a big
step forward in the right direc-
ton, and will mark new era in
the progress of our town. For
more than twenty-five years the
COURIER has been advocating the
building of good sidewalks, and
while many ventures have been
made in that direction, practically
nothing has been accomplished,
because no systematic, well-ma-
tured plan had ever been adopted.
Now that our town authorities
have gone earnestly into the pro-
ject, with a well-considered and
matured plan, we hope that every
citizen having the welfare of the
community at heart will heartily
second their efforts and help pull
the old town out of the mud where
it has been f1oundering for nearly
a century. If every man will put
his shoulder to the wheel a won
derful transformation will take
place in Old Opelousas within the
next few months, and none will
regret having contributed towards
making our town the prettiest in
the State, which it could never be
without modern sidewalks, what
ever advantages it may possess in
other respects.
We heartily congratulate the
Board, and we still more heartily
congratulate the people of Opel
ousas, upon this auspicious event.
1t marks the starting point for US
of new era, one fraught with the
best results for the community.
1t is the signal for the awakening
of more liberal public spirit, of
a more intense civic pride, among
our citizenship; and the spirit
thus aroused will promptly mani
fest itself in innumerable ways,
all of which will rebound to the
moral as we'll as material progress
and improvement of the dearest
spot on earth to US affair old
Opelousas.

LITTLE CHANCE TO GET
THRO!ia. .nE committee

This mat it is TO get on general
orders. The chances are, however, that it
will never get through the committee Of
the whole.
One OF the several debates in the house
this morning was on Lynch's bill to require
city council 10 fix the rates to be charged
by public utilities and TO require corpora
lions operating such utilities to publish
annually full statements OF their business.
The first was killed outright, but while the
recommendation of the ways and means
committee that the second one be indef-
intely postponed, was adopted, the bill
was ordered printed by courtesy, priv
ilege which may be obtained on only a
one-third vote. Lynch managed to muster
the one-third vote and the measure will be
printed even though it is now dead.
There was a quaint little mixup in the
house this morning on two reports from
the ways and means committee One
recommended that Faust's bill for licensing
sleeping ears and parlor cars be indefinitely
postponed. The other recommended that
Fausts bill for the taxation of peddlers
and travelling merchants be passed. Lam
strum, the chairman OF the committee, and
Faust the author OF the two measures de-
clared that they had been mixed The
latter measure, they said, was to be in
definitely postponed, as the same matter
is covered by senate bill, but the first
was to be recommended for passage.

A demurrer to the information was then

grounds, contcnding in the main that the
information did not charge the accused
with committing an unlawful act.
The information charges the fclonious
commission Of the crime and it seems TO
bc that iolonious means unlawful" said
Assistant County Attorney Lynch.
The court overruled the demurrer and
after Mr. Parr had been granted the
usual permission 10 file a bill OF exceptions
and Brooks had made his plea, Judge Me-
Clcrnan said he would set the case for
trial.
Mr.. Parr said that March OF would
suit the convenience OF counsel for
Brooks. Judge McClcrnan said he under

BY THE PROCEEDINGS

Oddly enough there was considerable
debate before the members could be
brought to realize the exact situation
Even then it is doubtful that they did
realize it, for after reconsidering the vote
to indefinitely postpone the first bill, they
promptly proceeded to vote the same way
again, killing the measure, and while in
a killing mood they voted to kill the
other one, too. Faust was dazed by the
way things came, but he made no kick on
the outcome.
There was another debate on a motion
made by Allen to reconsider the vote of
yesterday by which the house indefinitely
postponed House Bill No. 268, bill in
troduced by Wilson of Cascade to make
oral contracts for the sale of real estate
to have the same effect as written con-
tracts. 1t was a bill in abe interests OF
the real estate dealers of the state. Staple
ton led the debate against reconsidera-
ton and carried his point, for the house
refused by a decisive vote to reconsider,
