C|TYASSESSMENTR ROLL

by an oversight, III not making
a bargain and STIMULATING the
~ Zee for the work, when Mayor
Power gave the order to Assessor
Mestayer, for copy of the assess
mtnts OF this city for use in the
city Collectors Office, the ASSESS
0, sent his bill to the City Council
claiming 1879 for the work. This
bill. as we understand it, was has
ed upon an Interpretation Of the
law which allows the Assessor a
fee Of ? per cent for getting up an
assessment roll.
In The year 1905 the Mayor was
"au' hoiiz-d to have a copy OF the
Parish Assessment Rolls Of the
City Of New Iberia made for the
use Of the City OF New iberia as
soon as possible and upon the very
best terms In thu November
bills Of that Year the Assessors
bill for $3.50 was approved and or
de,ee paid. And 50, dowE through
the years following, $50 seemed
to be the standard price.
In the budget Of December 1911
the amount of $3.50 was carried
for A assessment Roll. This bud
get governed che expenditures Of
1879 When the bill came to the
CHy Council for the city's assess
ment Toll for 1912, il claimed more
than five times az much az the
Council had anticipated and bud
geted for.
The Assessment Of New Iberia
for 1911 was ~, 1868 The city
roll cost that year $3.50 The as
sessment Of lhls city, last year,
was s2,3l7 ,j:,S The bill for copy
ing that part Of the Parish roll
covering properties lying inside OF
the corporate limits Of the city,
claimed S7S9
The Assessor doubtless claimed
his 2 per cent, which the law con
templates, for the making Of the
Parish roll inclusive Of all city AZ
sc easements Of New iberia II the
law coniemplates Il Ike charge for
a copy, that it authorizes for the
making Of the original assessment
roll, then it would seem that that
law was III line for substantial
amendments at the next session of
The Legislature.
For these reasons the bill for
$7S9 was not promptly approved,
but was referred ID a special com
mi,tee composed Of the City At
,o,ney and the City Clerk. After
checking up the Assessors work,
they were Of the opinion that they
could safely contest the Assessors
claim for the 2 per cent fee on the
special taxes, which the city roll
carries Therefore, that part OF
he bill was disaliowtd and the
pa, mpnt Of the Assessor bill vas
aul horizrd to the amount OF 800
The Assessor accepted the S4OO;
conditioned, however, that II 10
ing so he did not abandon his
right TO recover, by suit ii neces
sary, he remaining 1889.

AMERICAN WONIAN'S
 FEET AND HANDS TOO
 BIG, SAYS FOREIGNER

Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 6-An Am eri- can woman, either matron or maid, who stands ankle deep in the snow and keeps her hands in a huff is as beautiful as any woman the world over, but when the snow meIts or she withdraws one of her huge hands to adjust her veil she is no longer the ideal of Professor F, E. Triebel, scuIp- tor and Academician of the Royal Academy of Rome.
 He contents that the hands of wo- men in America are too angular, much more so than are those of the women of the Latin countries of Europe Just why their feet are inclined to ruin the picture the Professor does not state specifically, but it is assumed that he believes them to be too generously supplied below the ankle.
 Professor Triebel is enthusiastic about the ability of American women to dress well and believes that their

 may be disposed of with gathers or pinched up tuclcs that do not extend five inches in length The front is draped slightly at the knees and may be trimmed with buttons of the dress material
 3A yards of 44-rnch goods are requir- ed to make this dress for miss of average size or for women with bust measure not exceeding 36 nches.
 For afternoon affairs, this model is delightful carried out in floral printed 1t to the requirements of morning frock by making the frock of simple materials, such as cotton voife, cham bray, etc.
 To cut the dress, place the pieces of the pattern with edge marked by wise fold, and remaining pieces with line of large "O'' perforations on a 1engtfwise thread of material In placing the pieces on the lengthxise fold, an exception Is made in the oasci of the stay, which is laid on a cross wise fold.
 The pattern is so perforated that long or short sleeves may be used, and the neck finished in round, square, high or V-shaped effect.
 The little vest may be turned into a very decorative affair by the exer-i else of little ingenuity. For instance, the lower part may be of bit of pretty braid-a piece three or four inches long and three inchies wide would be sufficient. For this purpose many dressmakers simply take the best portions of discarded hat trim ming, sash, or any accessory and combine 1t with a band of lace with the result that very dainty vest is secured.
 The shoulders are dropping, for this seems to be one of the most favored styles this season. Whether they are long or short, the sleeves are put into the arn-holes without fl1lness.
 There may be cuffs of the same or contrasting material, if the elbow eff feet is employed. A fri11 of dainty lace Is the best finish for long sleeve, however.
 Neither the skirt nor waist of this dress is difficult to make The drap- cry will not bring about complications if it is done carefully. Be sure to see that the folds are creased in the right direction.
 Instead of buttons down the front, the dress may be trimmed with de- sign worked out in soutache braid.

, WOMEN GUILTY IN
 RAIL RIDING CASE

Waukegan, H., Dec. 6-The jury in the Volo rail riding case found Mrs. Ann StadfeIdt, Mrs. Jack Raymond Mrs. Emma Stadfeldt, Mrs. Chris Sa- ble and Mrs. Alma Walter guilty of rioting. Mrs. Kate Wagner was &C., quilted.
 The case went to the jury Iate fol- lowing a plea by States Attorney Dady, in which he urged that every one of the woman defendants be held on charge of rioting in connection with their treatment of Mrs John Richardson.
 The defense had attacked the mor- a1ity of Mrs. Richardson, intimating that the Volo women were Justified in forcibly showing their resentment MT. Dady pointed to passage in the Bible where Jesus told men who had brought unfortunate women before him.
 Let him who is without sin cast the first stone," and then told her to go and sin more
 These six women, who proved in evidence that they are regular church members, did not give her such d chance,'' MT. Dady said 'eThev made themselves judge, jury and ex- ecuttoners of this little woman They They took the law into their own hands without asking the State or courts to chastise her for any law breaking she may have comrnitted'
 The penalty is six months in jail or a fine of $200.
