A Handsome Showing.

The 1904 tax roll showed the valuation
of assessable property in this parish to
be little more Than S2,7OO,0O0. The
rate of taxation was fixed at 9 mills, and
S26, 1900 was due the parish in taxes.
OF this amount Sheriff Edwards has paid
over to the Parish Treasurer $26 1892. 46,
which leaves a balance due of S348.63;
but when s32s.59 is reduced on account
of disputed territory there only remains
$1S.04 due. This is remarkable show
ing, but not so much so as it appears to
be as $365.95 in interest is included to
help reduce the delinquencies. Anyway,
the fact remains that the Parish Treas
urer was paid within $t31 SO of the total
due on the 1904 roll on the 8 mill and
vehicle taxes. Polls collected, 2944; on
per capita tax, S5O34, and S431. 40 out OF
total of S433.83 in the Seventh School
District. Sheriff Edwards has paid over
to the State Auditor S183.79 more than
he was charged with; interest included
also being accountable for this. Two
things seem to be indicated here, that
last year everybody had a little money,
| and collections were we'll kept up with.
