Of the three schools to consolidate and
have but one school.
The Bossier City School and the Red

making these schools high schools.
The school in this place was granted

The Police Jury convened here Tues
day, holding busy session for two days.
All members were present.
Contract was awarded to Mr.. G.. A..
WATSON of Minden to rebuild the Belle
vue bridge (spanning Lake Bodcau) and
he and the members of the Police Jury
from Wards Five and Six, the two being
named as committee to represent the
body in this matter, visited the bridge
site yesterday to agree upon final speci-
fcations and all details. Mr.. WATSON s
bid was so cents per lineal foot for all old
lumber used and $3.50 for all new lumber
used, which he is to furnish. though,
the total cost of the completed bridge
will be between $500 and $4,000. Long
leaf pine lumber to be sawed in Minder
and hughed oak timber will represent
the new material togo into the structure

place and at this meeting an advertise
ment was authorized asking for bids OF
same. 1t is planned to erect modern
structure, ample in its dimensions to &C
commodate forty persons.
The public schools of the parish wer
allowed 81 mills, a half mill less thai
the 1918 budget showed, but which i
still half mill in excess of the legal,
fixed tax. This reduction of half mil
resulted from the schools being in bette
financial condition at present.

For a reason that seems obvious in
view Of recent discussions between

not like the Telegram's brand of

Aside from the unimportant details
that the Telegram has no office cat,
that fire alarms are whistled here in
stead Of rung and that there Is no
Elk river in this section, the State

talking about. although 1t is doubt-
full. The Parkersburg newspaper
