A senate bill creating a juvenile
court in New Orleans was introduced
by Mr.. Barrett.
No doubt is entertained that the
Legislature would sanction an issue
of $3,5OG.aOO dock bonds, and that
the people would approve such action,
nor that an issue by the public belt
road would also find favor with al
the interests In the state as well as
New Orleans.
Wide ventilation of divergent views
was noted at the hearing on the Mar
ston anti-future measure, but the con-
sensus Of opinion has it that no such
bill will develop INTO a statute, and
that this branch of long-established
and legitimate bushes will not be
disturbed.
So, too, while the Pickett anti
bucket shop bill is generally COM
mended and Endorsed, some Of its
provisions are found impracticable,
and it is now being amended to meet
these objections.
Now that the import Of the concu-
binage substitute for the miscegcna-
ton bill is. dawning on the people,
criticism is developing on the action
Of Judiciary Committee, B. of the
House, which entirely changed the OBJ
ject of the measure, and words are
expected from Caddo as strong as
may be permissible to wearers Of the
cloth.
Mr.. Nettles has prepared bill to
compel the incumbent Of any Office to
resign such position Immediately on
becoming a candidate for another Of
flee, and declaring his plaee vacated
peremptorily on his refusal to do so.
A bill was introduced in the
House by Mr.. Chauvin, by which the
owner Of any proposed structure will
be compelled to demand from the orig
inal contractor a bond to insure sub
contractors and laborers against any
loss through default Of payment by
the principal contractor. Upon fail
ure of the owner to require the said
security he is to become personally
liable for all amounts due to all class
es Of workment employed by the said
contractor.
FRIDAY.
Positive results of the work Of the
Legislature to date were today con-
spicuous through the final considera-
ton of five bills in the House. Most
important of the quintette was that
from Mr.. Middleton, for the decima-
ton of the usurers in the state. Keep
ing tabs on the vote and convinced
that the bill could not possibly pass
at that juncture, Mr.. Henriques NOV
ed its return to the calendar, and it
will bob up some time in the future.
OF Importance, though largely Of
class legislation, Mr.. Richardson's bill
for the increase of physicians liens
from SIS to $40 was beaten for no
apparent reason, while Mr.. Della
houssaye's on the cutting of timber,
met alike fate.
On the other hand, Mr.. Ross push
ed through his proposition to compel
corporations to pay interest on cash
bonds of employees, and Mr.. Brianr
did likewise with his measure per-
hitting the parish of Terrebonne to
exchange property with a church at
Houma.
Four bills of great interest to the
city of New Orleans were introduced
at the session, one compelling the
City Council to provide money for
interest on certificates of indebted
ness, one authorizing a loan of 3d.
100000 for the Dock Board, third
for a bond issue of 100000 for
the public Belt road and the fourth
to establish board of pilot commits
sioners.
Senator Wimberly's bill realizing to
the adjustment of fire losses, provides
that when notice Of loss or damage
has been given to the insurance COM
pany or its agent within a reasonable
time after the date of such loss il
shall become the duty of the company
to forward the insured blank forms
Of statements and proofs Of loss. The
company failing to do so shall be
deemed to have waived the require
ment Of proofs Of loss.
