ARE YOU GOING TO BUILD
The Sheriff Contract.

Editor Lafayette Advertiser,
Dear Sir:-In looking over the
official proceedings Of the Police
Jury, notice that the parish at
torney advised the Police Jury
that they had no authority to en-
ter into contract with the sher
iff.
Now, Mr.. Editor, if the Legisla-
ture, which has just adjourned,
made no change in the law, when
did the Police Jury get the au
thority to make the contract in
the past? If the money paid out
under this pretended contract was
paid out aOithOut authority of laa0,
would there not be some means
of recovering it, specially to sup
ply somewhat the depleted school
treasures, both town and parish?
We often hear the newspapers
spoken of as the guardians of the
rights of the people, do you not
think the matter of sufficient i'm
portance to justify investigation?
By the way. Mr.. Editor, it is
reported on the streets there are
thirty odd boarders in the parish
boarding house, would it not be
worth somebody's while, just at
this time, to find out how many
of them are in there through the
whiskey bottle?
Thanking you, Mr.. Editor. for
allowing me to take up so much
of your valuable space. l beg to
remain,
Yours very truly.
