ness, and the latter was interviewed
by Picayune reporter relative to the
political situation in this parish, Civ
ing his views as follows:
Everything is favorable to Will
kinson in Ascension, and the senti-
ment in his favor is growing stronger
every day. OF course, as the pri-
mary election is five months OF, any
statement of the figure by which be
will carry the parish would he pure
conjecture, but it can anyhow be as
serted with certainty that the majority
OF the votes In Ascension will be cast

A novel sight was witnessed here
last Thursday, when D. Ohlmeyer's
home-built gasoline launch was hauled
through the streets from Mr.. OIL
meyers place of business in Railroad
avenue to the municipal wharf, where
the graceful vessel was placed in the
water Thursday afternoon in the pres
ence OF large crowd of interested
spectators. The craft was constructed
from keel up by Mr.. Ohlmeyer, assisted
by his two sons, Ollie and Richard,
and is model of it's kind. It is 80 feet
long, with beam of feet inches
and 30 inch draft, and is equip
ped with twelve horse power Gray
engine. The launch was christened
Hazel o., after one of Mr.. Ohlmeyer's
winsome little daughters, and will be
used by the owner in making pleasure
trips up and down the river and to
adjacent points reachable by water.
Ii is capable of developing a speed of
from ten to fifteen miles per hour.
The Ascension Ice Company's mod

Defalcations having been exposed IN
three OF the seven state tax collectors
offices in Orleans parish, the sugges-
tion is offered by an observant citizen
that it would be well for Gov. Blanch-
ard and Auditor Capdevielle to have
the other four collectors put in Jail
until an examination Of their accounts
can be made. This would avoid the
trouble and expense of hunting for
such as might be found delinquent
and possibly not finding them, as in
the case of Dudenhefer.

A communication from forty-one residents and
taxpayers of the eighth ward petitioning the
jury to build a bridge across Fish bayou, was
read and received, and on motion of Mr.. King
seconded by Mr., Klos, referred to the fourth
district road board.
On motion of Mr.. King, seconded by Mr.. KIos,
the following ordinance was adopted:
Be it ordained, That the ordinance adopted on
August IA, 1907, relative to the fixing of polling
places IN the parish, be and the same is hereby
amended so as to read as follows in so far as the
polling places in the first ward of the parish:
FIRST ward-Precinct one, at SyIvere Landry's
warehouse; precinct two, at Ascension store
warehouse; precinct three, at A. G. Dugas store.
Superintendent D. B. showalter, on behalf of
delegation of patrons of the Calbasse public
school at Duplessis, addressed the jury in the
interest of an appropriation to aid in the COM
pletion of a new school building at that place,
stating that the patrons of the school and citi-
Gems of the community had raised the sum of
$500 among themselves and intended to con-
tribute additional 500 in the way of manual
labor, with the expectation that the police jury
would meet them half way and appropriate
whatever amount might be needed to complete
the building estimated at 1920 or $500. Mr..
Reuss said that while the present jury had never
yet failed to respond to call for funds to aid in
eA%N
this parish, and greatly desired to extend all the
assistance in its power to the pending project,
still the condition of the parochial treasury pre-
cluded an appropriation for this purpose at the
present time, or even the promise of an appro-
prlat1on in the near future. District Attorney
Gondran called attention to the fact that the
revenues of the parish win probably be consider
ably augmented as result of the increase in
assessments authorized by the state board of
equalization, and that in this event it might be
possible for the police jury to make the appro- |
pr1ation requested some time during the early |
part OF next year. L. A. Duplessis, speaking for
the Duplessis delegation, explained that all that
was wanted or expected from the police jury at |
this time was a promise of financial assistance |
In the future, should the revenues OF the parish
Justify such an expenditure, and with this under
standing the matter was left open for action at |
a subsequent meeting.
Similar action was taken in the matter of an /
of $3.50 to provide suitable school
building at Barton
