The following resolution was in
troduced by DR.. Mayer and
adopted:
"Whereas it appears from a state
ment furnished by Wilson T. Peter
man, Sheriff. that during the year 1909
the sum of 81, 633 was collected in fines
from criminal sentences imposed,
which money under the law is paid in
to the school treasury of this parish,
and expended for the general benefit
of the public schools.
"And whereas, the collection of
such a large amount from this source
in single year is unprecedented, and
is due, in our opinion, to the energy,
zeal and conscientious efforts of the
district attorney, Thos. M. Milling,
the sheriff, Wilson T. Peterman, and
the Judge, Hon. Charles A. O'Niell, in
the performance of the duties of their
Of
in an able discharge of the public
business, resulting in this substantial |
addition to the fund in our keeping.
Eve. therefore, for these reasons
deem it only proper that this board
show its appreciation of faithful public
service by extending in the name Of
it's members, and in the~name of all
the school children of this parish,
sincere and heartfelt thanks to these
officers for the good work they have
done. And it is not amiss to say that
we also thank them in advance for the
efforts which their past performances
assure us they will put forth during
the coming year"
