Cities No Place
For Old People.

From which 1 came to say that
the cities are not much Of q place
for old people or people who die,
They should find softer and
simpler life and a quieter place in
which to enact the last great trag-
edy Of life, which is death.
I would like to live in q great
city all my vigorous life.
But would like to grow old and
die in the little country town
where the neighbors would come to
ask after me in the last days, fol-
low me kindly to the churchyard
when I was gone, and come back
for a little tender touch of COM
fort to those who were left behind
Is it not we'll now and then to
halt this mad rush of living, and
give space to a little breathing
time of charity and tenderness for
those who die2

"He died two weeks ago." was

Special Meeting of City Council.

DonaldsonVille, La, Nov. rs, 1913.
A special meeting Of the commits
sion council Of the city of Donaldson
vile was held this day at 1880
o'clock p. NJ, all commissioners being
present.
Mr.. Lemann stated that the meet
ing was called for the purpose Of de-
termining upon the final steps to
be taken regarding the removal of
the wharf structure from it's present
site to a more suitable location, on
account of the new levee which is
being constructed in front of the
city; also for the purpose of deter
mining what disposition is to be
made of the city's funds collected
henceforth, in view of the fact that
the city's depository, the Bank of
Donaldsonville, has closed its doors.
Mr.. Milano advised the council
that he had caused to be prepared
plans and specifications for the con-
struction of a new wharf building,
and also specifications for the tear
ing down of the present old structure
and the rebuilding of same at the
head of st. Patrick street. He. moved
that bids be advertised for, for alter
nate propositions, to be received up
to Saturday, December s, 1913, at s
o'clock p. N. The motion was sec
onded and carried.
Mr.. Milano stated that he had
received petition signed by the
property holders in the section of
The city known as Churchville, re-
questing the Commissioner of Public
Works to have the canal leading into
Bayou Lafourche cleaned at once, as
in it's present condition it gives no
relief in the way of drainage and
overflows the adjacent lands after
every heavy rain, resulting in great
injury to the crops. He said he had
taken this matter up with a compe-
tent engineer and would be in pos
session of necessary data to present
at the next meeting Of the council.
Mr.. Leblanc moved that the tax
collector be instructed to deposit all
funds collected for the city hence
forth equally between the two bank
ing institutions of the city. The mo-
ton was seconded and carried.
