the statutes of this State in regard

of the Acts of the Legislature OF
1910, and / find that said compen-

out any provision to supplement the

the assessor has an assistant to help
him in preparing the assessment OF
property in this parish, that such as
sistant must be paid by the assessor
and not by the parish Or. Police
Jury.
The only provision for the expen-

THE POLICE JURY.
Official Proceedings of Session Held
Thursday, February 10, 1913.

Shreveport, La, Feb. 10, 1913
The Police Jury of Caddo Parish,
Louisiana, met this 18th day of Feb
.lmary 1913, at 10 am in regular
Iession, William Winter presiding,
with the following members pres
ent: d. P. Hollis, R. E. l.. Huckabay,
DIR. R. H. Gulledge, w. f. Thoman,
George Thurber, L. B. Phillips, j. A.
Sebastian, C. NJ Hutchinson. Alb
sent: w. T. Crawford, +. G. Nagle.
On motion of Mr.. Thurber, duly
seconded and carried, the minutes
of January 9, 1913, were approved
as published.
To the President and Members Of
the Police Jury of Cadde' Parish,
louisiana: Gentlemen-The' COM
munication of DR.. g. G.. Chandler,
health officer of the City of Shreve-
port, and which was referred to
your finance committee, we now beg
to report: This communication con-
tains an estimate of the probable
expense incident to cases of menin-
gifts and which asks that the Par
ish of Caddo share equally in all ex-
pense that may be visited upon the
city in dealing with this situation.
After comforting with our health
officer, DR.. A. A. Herold, we do not
deem it to the interests of the par
ish to accept the offer made by the
said official of the City of Shreve :
port. DR.. Herold says it is viola
ton of the laws to bring menin-
gifts patient into the city and aside
from this restriction, he further
SAYS, that it is very dangerous eX-
pedient to remove patient suffer-
ing with meningitis, and in all prob
ability would result disastrously TO
the sufferer. That he advises a COM
plete isolation of the patient, no
matter where he may be and thus
prevent contagion to others.
We, however, have made arrange
ments with DR.. Chandler to permit
us to install four beds and covering
in the ward set apart by the surgeon
in charge of the Charity Hospital in
the event we should find it neces-
sary to remove patients therein.
This is an act of kindness, both on
the part of the health officer of the
city, and also. of those in charge OF
the Charity Hospital, and for which
we wish to tender the thanks of the
Police Jury for the courtesy ex-
hibited by them. - ~,
