Outside of the precinct division last

were taken up and disposed of in short
order.
A communication was received from

that the board purchase and furnish
him for use in his office certain blanks
necessary in the official conduct of
the place. The board has case OF
this nature pending now, and decis-
ion has not yet been rendered. The

should not be furnished justices free,
and one of these officials has taken
up the case. 1t is a decision in such
case that Is now being awaited. JUS

proved, as naval stores inspector.

for use of the armory on the nights of
February 7 and s, ball to be given
on those nights by the Dodo Parade
Association. The board voted that
the gentleman and his associates use
the building on the nights named.
An application from ]. L. Miller to
string a wire for telephone use on the
county bridge was received and grant
ed. Attention was called to the fact
that there is now wire strung on
the bridge, but it was the understand
ing that either or both of the wires
would be so arranged as not to inter
fere with any repairs which might be
from time to time necessary on the
county structure, and the permission
was given Mr.. Miller with such under
standing.
The chairman called attention to
the fact that the next regular meeting
would occur on Tuesday of next week,
but that the special meeting a week
later would occur on February 8, when
the Mardi Gras festivities were at
their height The board had adver-
tised at that meeting the bids for the
building of the proposed county. jail
would be opened and there was no
way out of it but to hold the meeting,
to make everything legal. At o'clock
Monday morning, Feb. Z, however, the
board will meet in special called ses-
sion for the purpose of then determin-
ing the question of whether the jail
will be built. and the following day,
II the question is decided in the af-
firmative. the bids are to be opened
and a contract will be awarded. The
board concluded to finish the Monday
meeting all right, and on Tuesday to
make it as short as convenience and
legal procedure will allow, to enable
the members to see the parade and
take part in the incidental ceremonies.
Commissioner Davis called attention
to the fact that cinders at the Gould
ing Fertilizer Works were accumulat.
ing faster than one double team could
take them away, and it was suggested
that a team from each of the districts
represented by Commissioners Nc
Quarrie and Davis be sent there for
the next two weeks at least, to relieve
the congestion. The board has made
a contract with the fertilizer company
to use all the cinders coming from the
plant, but the provision Is that the
county will have to keep the accumu-
lation out of the company's way. The
board is now advertising for bids for
the removal of the cinders for period
of about six months.
Commissioner Davis also brought up
the fact that some entertainments
were being made on the right of way
of the national cemetery road, and the
road supervisor was ordered to secure
the names of these alleged trespassers
and report them to the board. The
board will then instruct its attorney
to bring suit against those who are
represented as illegally occupying a
portion Of the roadway.
