auditor. After the 3Oth Of June all pers' ms
owning or harboring dogs without the re-
quired ,cense are subject 20 q fipe,a the laws
on the subject require Of 3d. or $40
Complaint has been frequently made that
many persons ia to take out their license,
and that Others pay on one or two dogs when
owning and harboring more, or who send such
dogs away during the summer months and
bring them hack in the fall.
Attention has been Gale to'th,s evasion of
the law and policemen will report all such
cases and fines can be imposed upon those
who fsii to take out licenses after trial IN the
Police Court
Ns-In order to avoid any mistakes, persons
who make application for licenses would do
well to write their nqmes snd number of resi-
dence, street. ETC.. on card or paper when
making app icatiOn for their licenses to the
Auditor
Attention is called to the fact that while
the payment Of a license tax is required by
the laws Of the city. whether dog is kept on
the premises Of the owner at all times or not,
vet the payment Of such tax does not entitle
the dog to the unrestricted use OF the streets
anil alleys Of the city, both day and nighl, for
it is provided by Jaw, that: The Mayor in
addition at any and all lines, in his discre.
ton. by proclamation, shall declare that all
such dogs as shove licensed shall be securely
muzzled, and if any such dogs be found run
ming at large during the continuance OF
such PROCLAMATION without the required
muzzle, they shall be seized by the police
force, or other persons designated by the
! Mayor Of such purposes, and conveyed to a
suitable place and destroyed"

St. Martin People Ask Relief;
Want Protection From
Overflow.

Gov. Sanders will be appealed
to by citizens of st. Martin parish
for relief from annual overhows by
the Atchafalsya river. The peo-
Pile of st. Martin parish claim that
the reason Of the overHows is TO
be found in the lack of protection
given their lands by the Atchafa-
laya River Levee District Board,
and according to the statements
made by committee which ar
rived here yesterday to confer
with the Governor, they intend to
make a strong fight for their
rights.
The committee, which consists
of DIR. j. Il. Olivier. formerly pre-
sident OF the Board of Education
of st. Martin; j. g. Bienvenu, re-
gistrar of voters. and +. Z. Della
hOussaye of st. Martinville, was
appointed at meeting of citizens
last week at Breaux Bridge for
the purpose of asking for con-
ference with the Governor at Ba-
ton Rouge. The delegates met
the Governor yesterday morning
at the Denechaud Hotel, aud had
a talk with him Oh the subject of
protection for their farmers. Al
appointment was made for this
morning at 10 o'clock. when the
Governor promised to hear the pc
titiOns and give AL answer as to
whether he could meet commit
tee of citizens from the St. Mar
tinvIlle district who could lay the
entire matter before him at Baton
Rouge.
DR.. j. r. Olivier, who was seen
at the Denechaud yesterday after
noon, said that the main cause for
complaint at this time is the ac-
ton of the Atchafalaya Levee
Board in appropriating $15O,OOO
for locks at Donaldsonville.
Mr.. Olivier said: ave object
to this appropriation and We in
tend to fight it drought every
court of the State. Less than six
months ago committee from our
end OF the Atchafalaya river dis
trict called upon the Ievee board
and asked for money with which
to protect our lands from annual
overflow. We were told that there
was none in the treasury of the
levee board.
an our parish there are more
than thirty thousand acres of lauds
which are excellent farming lands
submerged annually on account of
this lack of money. We have
been paying money into the Atch-
afalaya District Leves Board for
about nineteen years, during
which time the amount has aggre-
gated S245,OOO aud we have not
received cents worth of benefit.
We have employed u lawyer, anu
we do not intend, if We can help
it, that $4,000 shall be spent in
Donaldsonville for a set of locks.
We will demand that our lands be
given some protection. We have
been told that we had protection
from the waters of the Mississippi.
That is true, but We have no pro-
lection from the rising of waters
in the Atchafalaya, and it is from
that source that the danger has
come. The situation in our pa
rlsh is causing great misery. The
annual overflow of farms has caus-
ed many persons to become bank
