A LAWYER in the Family.

Emerson Bentley, secretary of the
Shreveport Traffic Association and q
nephew OF The Chiefs editor-in-chief
has successfully passed examinations
before a committee Of the Shreveport
bar and the judges OF the supreme
court of Louisiana, and is now full
fedged attorney at law. We are not
prepared to say whether the Bentley
family is to be congratulated or con-
doled with because of the advent of a
lawyer in it's ranks, but there's one
thing we can vouch for, and that is
that the lawyer is going to be good
one. Emerson Bentley is a young man
of fine ability, excellent attachments
and indomitable perseverance, admira-
bly, adapted by character and training
for achieving distinction in his chosen
profession. He has already made his
mark in the field Of activity he has
been called upon to occupy as an Of
ficer of the New Orleans Bureau of
Freight and Transportation and subse-
auently of the Shreveport Traffic As
ISOLATION, and it can be confidently
predicted that still further and greater
rev Yards await his future efforts.

Police Jury Meeting.

A regular monthly meeting OF the
police jury was held at the courthouse
at noon Wednesday with President G.
B. Reuss occupying the chair and all
OF the members present except Juror
George Bergeron. The minutes OF the
last preceding meeting were read and
approved. A communication was re-
ceived from the United States depart
ment OF agriculture, making inquiries
as to the present condition of the
public roads Of the parish and the
manner in which they are supported
and maintained. The secretary was
directed to furnish the department with
the requested information. A COM
munication from the state good roads
association, inviting the appointment
of delegates to the good roads conven-
tions to be held at Baton Rouge April
q, % and %, was read and President
Fseuss was auth rized to name the
delegate The residents of the eighth
ward living in the third road district
submitted a petition asking to be
allowed to construct public road in
the eighth ward, TO be known as the
Prairieville and Galvez road, and
which will intersect the settlements of
Manchac and New River. In the alb
senee OF the district attorney action on
the petition was deferred. Treasurer
Landry's report for the months OF
December, January and February
showed total receipts of S37, 517.87 and
disbursements of $8,023. 10. leaving a
cash balance OF $29, 494. "a. Clerk o.
Court Jas. S. Barman was permitted
to draw from the parish treasury the
| sum OF 5000, the amount of an appro-
priation previously made by the jury
towards defraying the expense Incl
/ dental TO the indexing of the parish
book of convey ances. The sum of S516
was appropriated for the purpose OF
| paying the insurance on the court
house and other buildings owned by
the parish. The school board, headed
by President E. n. Pugh, appeared be-
fore the jury, and Mr.. Pugh requested
that an appropriation of s25, 1000,
equalling that proposed by the town,
be made for the erection of new high
school building at Donaldsonville,
i equipped with the latest appliances.
The jury decided to take the matter
i under consideration until the next
meeting, but an individual expression
/ of opinion elected the fact that the
appropriation is heartily favored and
will probably be made without demur.
