bira appeared before the police jury
at it's last session and advocated the
purchase of a parish farm on which
parish prisoners could be employed
and fed. The number of prisoners in
the parish Jail now runs about twenty
all the time, and it costs 45c day
each to feed them 1t is argued that
a county farm would maintain the
prisoners, give them healthy employ

for negro offenders as the jail. The
farm project will be taken up at the
next session of the police jury.
