No Money for Managers.

The managers of the recent dispen-
sary election in this county cannot
get their pay, at least for the pres
ent. The Herald is in the same fix.
We did a lot of advertising and some
Job printing for the election, and we
cannot get cent. for it. The bill
was presented to the county super
visor, but he consulted the county
attorney, whose decision was that the
bills could not be paid, as there was
no appropriation for the purpose:
The newspapers and managers will
not get their money until after the
next session of the legislature, and
maybe not then. This newspaper
has had some experience with legis-
lative appropriations. In 1899 we
published a notice of special election
for probate Judge, and we had to
wait until the legislature met and
then got only half of the amount.
But we hope, this being a county
matter, we will have better luck this
time. However, it is certain that the
supervisor cannot pay these bills un-
less our legislative delegation makes
a specific appropriation for this pur-

THE SCHOOL BOARD PRINTING.

petitions and ordinances authoriz-
ing and ordering elections in the
various school districts has, since
the January meeting of the School
Board, been discussed through
the papers and has been the sub
ject of investigation by the Grand
Jury. Many misstatements in re-
gard to the matter have been
made, some of them under cover
of what is intended to be nome
de-plume. but the real object was
to hide the identify of the writer.
We had not considered these
communications worthy of any
notice, but since the Grand Jury
of the parish has seen fit to make
an Investigation we think the pub
lie should be made aware of the
facts in the case, which are as
follows:
AT the January session of the
School Board in 1906 committee
of the School Board visited The
Sentinel Office and made a pro-
position to publish the proceed
ings of the School Board at
stipulated price. which was ac-
cepted with the understanding
that all other printing paid for BY
the School Board should be given
to us. In other words, the editor
of this paper was made the official
printer of the School Board. At
the July session of the School
Board we found that the Board
was paying The Comrade for the
the promulgation of the ordin-
ances and petitions in several
school districts. We Immediately
called upon the members of the
Board and called their attention
to our contract. when the follow
ing Resolution was introduced
and adopted:
Resolved: That the President
of the School Board is authorized
to notify the Police jury that the
Southern Sentinel is the official
journal of the School Board, and
all petitions. memorials and no.
tices Of election for which the
School Board pays shall be pub
lished in said official journal" !"
The above is a verbation copy
of the Resolution on the minutes
of the School Board. The editor
of The Sentinel then got from the
clerk Of the Police Jury the petit
tions and ordidances for Eve
school districts and published
them officially for thirty days. as
required by Law, and at the next
session of the School Board pres
ented his printing bill. amounting
to $3.50. which was paid. There
vas no other bill presented to the
School Board for the printing, and
they had been paying all Of the
bills preceding this list. But the
Parish Printer put in his bill for
printing the identical matter in
The comrade and was paid out Of
the Parish Treasury SUN amount
ing to SIo7.I7.
For past years the School
Board has been called upon to pay
these printing bills. but as soor
as the School Board assumes e
say to whom they will pay tn,
howl goes up that the Schoo
Hoard Is not authorized to pay
such bills. II such i the CAS-,
