on back debts.
IF the members of the police jury
were business men they would publish a
report of financial standing of the
parish, and we could see where the
tax payers money goes; how it is ex-
pended; and learn the true situation oil
our parish, and we can not obtain this
unless we get together and have the
thing done in businesslike way"
THE district attorney" said Mr.
Nettles, wrote to Gov. Hall to send
auditors in order to learn of the standing
of the finances of the parish. and from
the auditors report, we can take item by
item, and see what money is spent, where
it is spent. and how it is spent. The
district attorney aud Governor Hall are
to be highly commended for their action
in this matter.

The boys dressing room i'll the

necessitated BY the large number
of students who are taking part i'll

attendance has been excellent.
Very few students have been
absent. The enrolment still in

will give its first regular program
on Friday, Oct. 81. The program

The faculty is making every
effort to increase the size of the
libraries III the various rooms.
Already Miss Mills has collected
over SO toward the purchasing of
books for her room. Various
means are being used by the several
teachers. A great number of books
have disappeared i'll the past. We
suggest that each patron look
through their library and see if
any high school books have ac-
cidentally found their way there.
A new system of registering
the books has been devised and a
very strict account of the school
books will be kept from now on.
Any donations of books will be
gladly received and appreciated.

Vermilion, would like to know where
our money goes; what is being done
with our finances, and the reason fol-
such an enormous indebtedness.
I'VE want, and we are welcoming al
investigation, which will show whether
the police jury is spending the ta'
payers money judiciously. or whether
it is being wasted. There are rumors o
corruption aAoat and this investigation
should show if there is any foundation
to these rumors. If the investigation
should show that there is no waste o
