A regular meeting of the City
Council was held Monday night
with all members present. After
reading and adoption of the
minutes of the previous meetings
the first business taken up was
the Gueblet suit for damages
against the city. and committee
was appointed for the purpose
of taking measures to fight the
suit.
The subject of the financial
condition of the town was dis
cussed at some length, and the
members generally expressed
their uncertainty as to proceed
ing with business, not knowing
the exact Indebtedness, the
probable revenue and expenses.
It seemed to be the unanimous
wish to open a regular set of
books so as to conduct the affairs
of the town in business way,
but with the information in their
possession such a set could not
be opened, and the necessity of
securing an accountant to check
up the books was brought up.
Secretary Colomb informed the
Council that he had been in COM
munication with two accountants,
one of them a Mr.. Chappuis, Of
New Orleans, but Mr.. Chappuis
could not make a price unless he
could see all the books. It was
stated that the books of the cor
pOra ton back to 1900 were in
possession of the Council, but
those previous to 1900 could not
be found. In order to assist in
locating the missing books the
Council sent for Mr.. D. V. Gar
debled and requested him to
give them any information he
could. Mr.. Gardebled stated that
he had turned over his books as
treasurer to his successor and
that was the extent of his
knowledge of them.
On motion of DR.. Girard the
finance committee was appointed
to confer with members of the
old Council to see if the missing
books could be located. After
further expressions as to the in
ability of the Council to ascertain
the financial condition of the
town, it was decided to get an ex

Mr.. H. H. H0horst requested
the Council to place lights in his
neighborhoOd stating that the

Also several petitions for water
and lights were presented, but

consideration owing to the city's
lack of funds. A petition for
light at corner near Sunset Hotel
was referred to the w. & E. l..
committee as was also the ad'
visibility of moving light at

DR.. Trahan called the attention
of the Council to the need OF
opening the fire plugs often and
after some consideration it was
suggested that the police be
instructed to do so, and it was
left with the w. & E. L. COM
mittee to act.
A petition was read from
residents of the 3rd ward asking
the Council to cooperate with
the Police Jury in opening
ditch down east side of railroad
to the bayou to drain McCOmb
addition and carry of water
coming from the TOrian and
Buchanan place. The street
