| Sheriff on the condition IF the
Jail and the curt house square.
The Jail is neat and we'll kept; the
court house square evidences that
the Sheriff's Office is giving
it great zeal of care and
Sttention and the beauty of this
square is certainly credit TO the
| Sheriff's office.
We find the court house in good
condition with the exception Of
the leaks in the roof, which we
are informed are to be fixed at an
early date.
VETERINARY SURGEONS.
DR.. Goodwin, President of the
State Board of Veterinarians.
came before our body and made
complaints against various per-
sons for violating the law against
the practice of veterinary medi-
cine. While we recognize the
business Of DR.. Goodwin's COM
plant and recognizing that these
persons are violating the law, yet,
on account of the fact that there
are do veterinary surgeons in the
Parish of ST. Mary and that it is
SO extremely difficult to obtain the
services of regular surgeon; and
on account of the fact that owners
of animals who are sick have alb
solutely no chance to obtain
skilled assistance and must do the
best they can we decided not to
take up this investigation at this
time.
We will however, say that these
persons engaged in the pracsice
of veterinary medicine had better
take steps towards securing a Ii
cense from the State Board, other
wise this Grand Jury will inves-
tigate, at its next session, their
right to practice veterinary medi-
cine.
PUBLIC OFFICES.
We have examined the books of
the Secretary and Treasurer of the
Police Jury and find that the
books of both of these offices I'M
der late order of the Police Jury
have been audited up 70 Sept
EN- Der 5, 1910; that they are we'll
kept and in excellent condition.
We also find that the books and
accounts of the other public offices
are well kept and correct so far as
a cursory examination could show
THE JUDGE.

tention to US and for the effort |

THE SHE RIFF.
We desire to commend Mr..
Peterman, the Sheriff, on the
showing made by his office. We
feel that he has made an able and
efficient effort to enforce the law ia
the Parish of st. Mary. We feel
that Mr.. Peterman's efforts in this
direction have largely resulted 10
diminishing crime ia the Parish.
THE CLERK.
We investigated the Clerks Of
flee and find that Mr.. Kramer has
his records in splendid condition
and that the business of the
Clerks Office is carried on in a
systematic and efficient Manner;
that persons desiring to look at
records or obtain any information
out of the Clerks Office are as.
sisted as much as possible by the
Clerk or some of his assistants.
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
We desire to thank the District
Attorney for the assistance which
he has given us during this ses-
sion of the Grand Jury. He had
the witnesses in all the cases be-
fore US summoned and we were
able to transact all of our business
very fast. We find that his
thorough preparationsof cases en-.
ables US to>get through with the
work very much sooner and to ex-
anime cases with much more in ,
telligence.
We have looked into the work
done by Mr.. Milling since he has
become District Attorney and find
that his diligent attention to bust.
ness has almost cleared the GRIM
nal docket. We have learned
hat the Jail has been empty on Z
wo occasions and that the Grim.
nal expenses have very much de-
creased. We desire to commend
dr. Milling tor these things be-
'ause We feel that the keepingl
Town of criminal expenses and
,eeping the jail empty is due to
lis efforts. =,
During our session Mr.. Milling
