fully appear by the tabulated report
hereto annexed showing same in de-

Upon further examination, we find
that in making the distribution of the

that there has been a slight error
committed in this distribution, i. e.,

was credited to the Yellow Bayou
Drainage District when same should
have been credited to the 9Th Ward
Special School Tax account, and in
| order to correct this error, and make
the proper distribution as to all funds,
we recommend that the Treasurer be
| ordered to make a transfer of this
item from the Yellow Bayou Drainage
District to the 9Th Ward Special
School Tax account.
Your Committee further reports that
We have examined the books of the
Sheriff and the License Register of

We, your committee, desire particu-
larly to commend the manner in which
Mr.. Louis $. Bigler, deputy sheriff and
tax collector, has systemized the Tax
Collectors department of the Sheriff's

which his records, showing the collec-
ton OF all taxes, are kept; we also de-
sire to thank Mr.. Bigler for the cour-
tesy and aid extended by him to your

GENTLEMEN
In as much as my term of Office as
your Health Officer, appointed April
l. 1906, expires to-day, hereby submit
you the following complete report of
the work of my Office.
Since my appointment, have cover
ed the entire Parish, and have succeed
ed in at least accomplishing the result
of carrying out your Ordinance re-
lative to screening water receptacles;
in SO doing, we have prevented in my
opinion, recrudesence of the dreadful
yellow fever which we have had to con-
tend with last year.
During the summer of 1905, there
were some three hurdred cases of fever |
on River Side, some one hundred and !
fifty at Amelia. five cases in Frank
lin, and fifteen in Morgan City, and |
two thousand Approximately in the |
Town of Patterson, and immediate
vicinities, together with several fOci |
situated in the different parts of our
Parish, with a death rate unusually
small amounting to about three per
;ent. This year, in so far as l have
been able to ascertain, or SO far as
las come to my knowledge, the Parish
If st. Mary has escaped this dreaded
plague without q solitary infection.
This remarkable fact we can fully
understand and appreciate through !

Milwaukee, Wis, April 1t.-President J. D.
busy the past few days sending out instructions
to his umpres, owners and managers Of clubs,
and preparing to assign his umpires for the
opening series Of games. The indications are
at Columbus, Egan at indianapolis and owen
at Louisville, with Kane at either Indianapolis
or Louisville to assist. This is not official
however, as President 0'Brien may decide to
switch his after holding a conference with
them at Columbus on April 16. 1851 ~
President O'Brien In sending his instructions
to umpires laid particular stress on the balk--
in fact he sent early orders to all his umpires
to have them study the pitchers carefully in all
the practice games and learn their peculiarities
in delivering the ball SO to be able to deter
mine when they were committing balk.a Pres
1dent O Brlen says the umpires must stop the
balk nuisance this season, as it only prevents
base-runnlng and spoils many pretty plays. With
the advance orders received and the additional
pointers to be given at the conference in Column
bus, the umpires should be able to distinguish
| between a balk and straight. delivery and pre-
vent the abuse of. the play that caused much
annoyance last season. j. < E7:'<:<; s3lf.z%i
The managers and captains Of clubs in the
association have also come In for their share
| Of instructions, and II they make breaks later
in the season they will not be. able to say that
7 they did not know the rules, Mr.. o. Brien has
sent full Instructions to, all the managers and
captains covering the points In question, espe-
cially regarding actions on the field, the for
| feidng of games. hnings etc. He touches on
the rules where they affect the filming of play
ers, and points out the most, Important clauses
in the rules. He also notifies the managers
and captains that they must understand that If
they forfeit a.game they will be suspended from
the field of play until fine of 500 is paid
into. the. league treasury. This rule has been
made constitutional by the association in order
to avoid any disputes such as occurred last
season when Managers Dexter Of Louisville, and
Canhllon Of Milwaukee were fined for FORGETTING
games.
