The question was asked us
several times recently why no
election was called for the se.ec-
ton of Police juror to succeed
Mr.. l.. G.. DeBIanc who, by virtue
Of the fact of his removing out
of the 9th Ward caused him to
vacate his Office some months
since. New Iberia and the 9th
Ward is entitled to three Police
Jurors and there is yet about
eighteen months to serve before
! the time Of the administration
is at an end. We can give no
reason other than it looks to US
like no one cares for the hOnOrs
and for that reason the Cover
nor was never notified of the
vacancy.
