The Atchafalaya Levee Board

The Police Jury at it's meeting
August End has adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Whereas, it has como to the
knowledge of this body, by news
paper reports aud other sources,
that the Board of Commissioners
of tho Atchafalaya Basin Leves
District purport to appropriate
$3.50, 600 of the funds Of said board.
to construct locks in the Bayou
Lafourchs outside Of the limits of
the Atchafalays Levee District;
Therefore, be it
Resolved, That ws, tho police
Jurors of the Parish of st. Martin,
Louisiana, 10 regular session as
sembled, do now enter al earnest
protest aud a strenuous objection
in the expanding of the peoples
money for other purposes than
the protection from overflow of
thsil homes aud property from the
waters of the AtchsfIays. We fur
thur protest against the disburse-
ment of the amount above stated
for works outside of the limits of
the Atchsfalaya Basin Levee Dis
trict; be 1t further
Resolved, that q copy of these
resolutions be forwarded TO the
governor of this State, to the men,
bers of the levee board. and to the
leading newspapers published in
the city OF New Orleans"
Resolutions only express your
feelings; this will have no effect
with an unjust and selfish board
like tho Atchsfalsys Levee Board
What We expect you to do in the
name of the tax payers is TO en-.
ploy Counsels and test the wantou
transportation of funds in the
Courts. Do it now.

THE PARISH CREDIT.

The credit Of the Parish Of st.
Martin at the present time is not
the best; the parish came out short
last year, and some of those who
held parish papers had to carry
them over to this year. What arc
the prospects for this year. We un-
derstsnd, are not very encouraging.
The value put upon parish pa
rish paper is dsmoralizing, those
holding such paper have to soil
them at . discount of twenty per
cent. whom half of the year is al
ready passed, which would indi-
cato a yearly discount OF 40 per
cent. Is this not serious condi-
ton OF affairs? And at this large
diacount only one person is buy
ing paper as far a. We could learn.
Why this conditions of affairs !?
Simply because the police jury
is apparently loose and easy. and
Ignorant Of the real financial con.
dition of tho parish.
The budget is made on guess
work or upon tho last one, acccr-
ding to result, and not upon a
sound financial system. An esti-
mate of expenses 10 made upon ex-
pected revenues, il this docs not
come to expectation. results will
have to take care of themselves,
and those who could not pass their
warrant for taxes, are simply left.
We do not believe that the pO-
lice jury base their affairs on real
sound figures. as w do not be-
lievs the recapitulation Of the past
year has been made. Without a
complete detailed statement Civ
ing every item of resource aud OK
penditure. it 10 impossible for the
police jury to intslligsntly conduct
it's financial affairs.
W. do not remember to have
ever seen such a statement. We
believe the taxpayers have q right
to know to cent what money has
been placed in the hands Of the
police jury; from what source, and
for what that money has been ex-
pended.
We demand of the police jury n
complete statement of their affairs
Of the past year; in the name OF
the tax payers. Will they render
Nh account of the public affairs
placed IN their hands?
We shall see.
