Gentlemen:-We write you tc
II your attenten to the fact that
February s7th, 1912, the st.
andry State Bank, was elected
.e Fiscal agent of the Parish
bard of School Directors, Of st.
andry Parish, La, for the per-
d on one year. Now, inasmuch

Eemplated by law, the contract
entered into with the said Bank
IN the 7th, of February 1912;
making the date of expiration of

l1stead Of February 7th, 1913.
Inasmuch as the law is manda-
Dry with reference to the length

ract would be valid and enforce
Bile by operation of law, and

ither by the commission or over
ght of either party to it.
We would, therefore, request
bur Honorable body to pass the
ssolution necessary for the re-
fcation of this mutual oversight
