We have examined report of
the Secretary of the Police Jury
submitted to us. The financial
statement and the other work per-
formed by the Police Jury con
tanned therein are matters for con
egratulation. We find a spirit of
business ability and executive ex-
Aperience governing all expendi-
lures and direction of all public
works. Civic pride as well as
(patrlotism seem to have been
great factors in the complete sue
cess of the model road building
undertakings. The array of facts
and figures presented by the See
rotary are an additional evidence
of the thoroughness and business
like spirit characterizing the pres
en- official life of the Pole Jury. !

most careful attention. For the
first time in years we find the
School Board operating on cash
basis. The schools has been so
