Mary, Louisiana.
GENTLEMEN:-We, your COM
mittee. appointed to superintend
the construction of a court house
for the Parish of st. Mary, beg
leave to submit the following as
our final report.
We received from the sale of
the court house certificates the sum
of One Hunf led and Fifteen
Thousand Dollars, and from the
Police Jury of the Parish of St.
Mary We received Ten Thousand
Dollars, or total of One hundred
and Twenty-Five Thousand Dol
lars.
On Dec. 18th, 1908, this commit
tee delivered to the Secretary of
Your Hon. Body full and COM
plete statement of all amounts ex-
pended by the committee in the
consti uction of the court house.
That { atement had been carefully
checked and a voucher was at
tached showing each item, and
the statement with vouchers at
tached is now in the possession of
Your Hon. Body.
Thet statement showed the fol-
loving:
Balance in bank ...... 5 6,406 %
Balance due from Southern
Pacific. 80. 574 80
Or total of ...... 5 $3.50 50
For the sake of brevity we will
not now reiterate the statement
already rendered, which is in
possession of your Secretary. to-
gether with all vouchers attached,
but will make same a part of this
report by reference.
We will report to this Police
Jury what has been done and
what amounts have been expend-
ed since Dec. 17th, 1908.
The report of that day showed a
balance in bank of S64O6.26, when
as a matter of fact the balance
was S640S. 26. for the reason that
a warrant of $500 had been listed
by the Treasurer as not paid,
when it had actually been paid.
The report further shows a
balance due from the Southern
Pacific Company of S57433. when
only S559.74 was collected. This
amount was a rebate on freights
which the chairman, Mr.. Peterman
secured though Mr.. Fay, General
Freight Agent, and which was a
concession on the part of the COM
pany.
Thus the statement OF Dec. 18th,
1908, wovld read as follows:
Balance in bank ........... s 6.4O8 26
Balance due from Southern
Pacific ~. ............ $50 IS
Or total of :. .. 5 6.96S 90

Your committee acting under
author ty from this Police jury
expended the sum of S389.33 in
repairing the Jail, for which
amount a voucher is hereto at
tached. This amount the Police
Jury is due this committee and
should be added to the balance in
bank, making a total now on
hand of S672.27.
The committee owes only one
bill, that of the New Orleans
Roofing and Metal Co., for 500. 90.
balance due on contract, and this
amount cannot be paid owing to
the fulfillment of the con-
tract.
II this amount was paid the
committee would still have a BAL
ance of S572.27 out of the building
fund.
The committee wishes to state
that as the work of building the
court house progressed some
changes were made in the orig
inal plans and quite number Of
additions to the house were made.
which in the opinion OF the com.
mlttee were necessary. These
changes were such as screening
the building, electric call bells
glass dial for the clock. wiring
clock tower, and oak finishing in
he main court room and corridors
instead Of cypress.
These changes @increased the
'ost OF the building but were con-
'idered necessary and were made
or the reason that the cost would
lot exceed the, estimate.
Your committee now tenders
herewith q warrant for $3.50.

Some of the leading lumber maj

Some Of the leading lumber man
ufacturera, commonly considered
the leaders of the lumber trust,
have made a protest to the ways
and means committee against the
removal of the tariff on lumber.
They charge that the present high
prices on lumber are not due to the
manufacturers but to the combina-
tion that exists amongth retailers,
and that the removal of the tariff
would simply add that much more
to the retailers profit. Whether
this is true or not it is no reason
for retaining the tariff. Let the
tariff be removed, and then enforce
the antitrust laws so that neither
the manufacturers nor the retailers
will reap the reward.

The original bill for the construc-
tion of state capitol building
called for an expenditure of $780,
600, and the plans were drawn up
on that basis. Two years ago the
legislature increased the amount to
$500, 600, and the present legisla-
ture has raised it to $500, 700. The
amount is not yet large enough to
be alarming, but we hope the build
ing will be completed before the
meeting Of very many more ses-
sions.

Though the. weather was very
bad, the corn show in Springfield
on Feb. 9Th was decided success
III every way. There were about
seventy samples Of corn the high
est score was 89a The large Wood
man Hall was crowded with peo-
pie, a number Of whon came IL to
l5 miles. A very encouraging fea-
ture Of the attendance WAS the large
number Of boys and girls from the
country who were present, and a
fact worthy Of notice is that the
first and second in yellow corn was
scored by two young farmers
Thomas Dempster and Earl Mon
fore.
The address by Mr.. g. E. VIM
Pile on corn breeding was very sim
pie, practical and convincing. Mr..
Wimple showed himself to be a
man who believes in doing things.
Mr.. Chamberlain's address was
mastery one interesting from
start to finish. He gave many
very practical and helpful sugges-
tions, not only upon corn culture,
but upon boy and girl culture. 1t
is q pity that every farmer, every.
farmers wife, and son, and daugh-
ter could not have heard these two
addresses. The managers of the
corn show and the business men of
Springfield are to be congratulated
upon the successful public c-spirited
manner in which it was managed.

Owing to very bad roads and

teachers meeting last Saturday
was not so large as has been the
rule at the other meetings. All Of
the papers were fully up to the U.s.

discussion of the different topics
was much too short. We regret
that we had not planned more of
these meetings as we can see that
they have been of very great bene-
fit to.the schools.
