The town has stretched out.
Last Friday the Board of Alder
men passed an ordinance chan
ging the limits and incorporating
property not heretofore included.
The Catholic church and the
Thib bodaux college are now In
town and all that stretch OF pro-
perty between here and the upper
line of Acadia Plantation, includ-
ing the property just beyond the
church and ST. Joseph Street,
sometimes called true Torchon, !"
The upper boundary was not IN
terfered with and remains the
same stopping at the edge OF
Ridgefield plantation and exclu-
ding the annex. On the South 1t
extends down ST. charles Street
and down canal Street on both
sides up to the parish line, be-
tween Lafourche and Ierre-
bonne. All property brought IN
is pretty thickly settled but
some fear is entertained that even
with the extension the five thou
sand mark will not be reached,
which is to be regretted. With
five thousand we would be city
and would necessarily receive
more attention and more adyan-
tages than being under the mark.
Capital and industry are always
looking for the larger places as
well as considering other advan-
tages.
The new boundaries are as
follows: Along Bayou Lafourche
! to a point beyond the Catholic
church, separating the Acadia
plantation from private pro-
perty abutting, b then 600 feet
back, beyond the end OF 81
Joseph Street, then next to a
point SIS feet east of st. Charles
Street, then South until the Rall
road down St. Charles and
Canal, to the line separating the
parishes of Lafourche and Terre
bonne.

The Police Jury held a regu-
lar meeting last Wedn esday and
Thursday at the court house.
Resides transactlng regular busl-
ness an important matter was
touched upon. Judge Martln
appeared before the body and
argued for the necessity of lar
ger and more convenient court
house. The idea being to enlarge
and remodel the present very
imposing structure that has for
years served as the parish tenn
pie of Justice.
Judge Martin has a plan OF
his own which if adopted will be
an excellent one. HIS idea is
to enlarge The building and take
in all the space between the west
side of the building and the
fence on Green Strest, making
the front of the building as well
AS the main entrance ON Green
Street witha hall which would
run from said entrance across
the present hall to the rear
where the stairway would lead
to a long hall leading to the
court room. In the plan the
Sheriff Clerk of Court, Assessor
and Recorder would have offices
on the lower floor, besides a
meeting room for the School
Roard and room for the Police
Jury. Up stars there would oe
the court room, much larger, the
iudge's room, the district attor-
news room "a library, two jury
rooms and possibly private room
for attorneys to take clients TO
interview them during or pre-
vious 70 the taking up OF cases.
This plan with All architecI
ideas to supplement IL should
n,ake a very acceptable building
and one which would be Il monu-
ment to the parish and towp' DIS
we'll dS al SNCl leSO'HO
the present police jury.
II the plan is adopted however
it may bring grief TO the par
ticu!ar friends of Dolly, the cow
in the lot, who will in all prooa-
bility have to vamoose, des.
mite the fact that she PROMISED &c q
die in the lot.A An ornamental Dull
ding would be very much nandl-
capped were it placed in the
centre of cow lot. The remain
inc ground could then easily De
converted into a park place or
An open place well kept and IN
keeping with the building;
The committee appointed by the
police jury consists of three mem. %
bers of that body Messers: Alex

cal bar, Judge W. P. Martin Judge
