After its reading, Mr. Il. S. Nc
Mahon and the Reverends Messrs.
Diggs. Lutz and Hebcrt urged
the Jury to advance the license
ON saloons to the figures in force
for the past several years. Mr..
J. J. Olivier argued that the pre-
vailing conditions made the L.
cense of $1,000 prohibitive. A
vote of the Jury was taken ami
resulted in the resembling OF the
action taken at the last meeting
and the fixing Of the retail liquor
license at $1,000.
Messrs. p. r. Burke and Al
phonsc Davis on behalf OF the
Trolley Company requested "a
change in the route OF the Burke
Station road so that it would con
time out from Main Street to in
tersect the old Lake road at a
point near Segura; agreeing to
secure all necessary rlghts-of-Way
and transfer them to the Parish
Of the Trolley Company would be
granted an exemption of Parish
taxes to the amount of $4,000 on
whatever extensions the Company
might make in the future. This
request was granted by the Jury
subject TO the approval Of the
State Highway Department which
is TO construct a model road over
this route jointly with the Parish.
TO provide for the early constrnc.
ton Of this Burke Station Road
and the st. Martinville road, the
sum of $4,000 was appropriated
from the amount derived from the
sale of the $4,000 road bonds;
and TO further expedite matters,
President King was authorized to
negotiate for and purchase from
Mr.. Wvche his toll road if such
could be done within the approp-
ration. A new road was ordered
traced leading from the New he
ria-.Jeanerette road to Lydia. in
the rear Of the I'd Ward, and an
appropriation committee appoint
ed to secure riehts-of-way AL
most every road in the Parish
was discussed and plans for their
hetterment submitted Funds for
this most important work are
now available and if seems to be
the intention Of the Jury to utilize
these to best advantage and to
give relief to the travelling public
with as little delay as possible.
The session lasted from 10 a.
M. to 5 80 p. M. and was of
marked interest throughout the
day
