"There is nothing like Peruna for
that tired feeling, which gives you no

unable to regain my health, but four

CONCRETE SIDEWALKS.

Last Tuesday night the City
Council passed an ordinance of
great Importance TO the property
holders of this city We publish
the ordinance elsewhere in this is
sue. The ordinance provides for
the making and keeping in repair
all the sidewalks Of Main, Charles,
St. Peter streets from Chestnut
| street in the west to Lee street in
! the East and all side streets as spe.
cited. The property owners are
given the option of making these
banquettes themselves, or allowing
| the city to build them after due ad-
vertisements for bids, etc. The
materials shall be brick laid in ce,
ment, stone, asphalt or concrete
with the necessary curbing of these
materials The width of walks not
to be less than five feet. The Street
Commissioners are the judges when
sidewalks are to he made or re-
paired, who will hardly call for
new sidewalk where a good one al
ready exists, but as they wear ont
the new ones are to be of the ma
terials and size specified in the or
dinance. If it is necessary for
the city to have any of this work
done the property owner shall pay
twenty per cent of cost on compile
ton of the work and balance in one,
two, three, four and Ave years with
six per cent interest, which notes
shall be first mortgage and lien
On the property till paid, being
transferred to owners whenever
property changes hands.
At first blush this may seem ar.
bitrary and harsh, and a hardship
on those unable to pay, but as the
sidewalk is smaller than usual, and
only twenty per cent Of the cost to
be paid down and long time on the
balance il will be within.the reach
of all to put in this great improve
ment, that will give uniformity 10
streets, and beauty and cleanliness
and health to the city. The pres
ent sidewalks oi wood soon run
their course aud are ever IA menace
to life and limb, and a harbor for
rats and vermin, and sanitary laws
call for their abatement as soon as
possible and without undue hard
ship to the owner.

THE MARRIAGE BILL.

Baton Rouge, La. , May l3.-itde
veloped to-day that the bill which
is TO be introduced by Representa-
tive Robert +. Derouen, Of New
Iberia, prohibiting the marriage OF
persons OF certain degrees Of reia-
tionship. Is to prevent marriages
between Stepfathers and step
daughters and stepmothPrs and
stCpSonS.
Mr.. Derouen says that the bill Is
to be introduced As the result OF the
following request from Judge Felix
Nool hees, Of New Iberia, which he
received a few day. ago.
Hon Robert F. Derouen, New
Iberia, La, My Dear Sir-Will
you kindly draft IN act to amend
and re- enact article % Of the civil
Code, ~ amended and re enacted
by article . of 1902, 50 as to include
in the prohibition. t. marriages be
tween the stepmolher and s'rpsou
and OF the Stepfalher aud Sep
daughter
The reason for this request Is
that lately young man applied to
our parish priest to he married to
the widow Of his father The
priest refused 10 perform the cere-
mony on the ground that such Il
marriage would BE- vioiatirr Of
common decency and morality and
woull Ne destructive of morality,
W Inch tests entirely on the purity
Of marriages, As there IS no evil
law prohibiting such marriages,
which are obnoxious only 10 the
canon laws, and a. do believe
that such law is more important
than hat prohibiting the marriage
of first COUSINS, | would ask ven to
prepare a law as suggested, being
satisfied that The additional amend
ment would meet the approval of
all the Legislators.
Very truly yours,
FELIX VOORHEES,.
