DEAR SIR: Please announce that will not be
at Ivan next Sunday-the third Sudday-to fill
my regular appointment, but will come on the
fourth Sunday instead. We shall not begin our
meeting then as the brethren think the crops
demand their time. The recent rains have made
the grass grow so fast that it will necessitate
more work and later work than they had planned.

The Police Jury Meets.

The Police Jury was in session here
Monday and Tuesday until noon. All
members were present. Aside from the
regular routine business, these sundry
matters came up for consideration:
The sum of $3.50 was donated to the
Parish Fair Association, the same to be
used in helping defray the expense of
the 1915 fair.
The jury agreed to give $500 toward
the construction of a bridge across Bod
eau at Crows ferry, in Ward -Four.
Bodcau at that point forms the Bossier-
Webster parish line and the bridge is
to be constructed jointly by the two
parishes.
The jury, to some extent, revised its
former resolution as regards the con-
struction of dipping watts in the parish.
AS heretofore, $40 will be donated to-
ward the construction of all watts located
as specified, but the watts must be con-
structed in accordance with the standard
as fixed by the State Live Stock SAM
tary Board. Also, the Police Jurors
will for time furnish the ingredients
with which to charge the watts. Those
contemplating the construction of Dip
ping watts should confer with the Police
Jurors residing in their respective wards.
The Road District No. 2 bonds were
ordered printed, their sale to be author
ICED and bids invited at later meeting.
Messrs. Logan and J. G. McDade, mem
bers of the Police Jury, and J. E. Rocks,
T. R. Tomlinson and G. D. Sandidge
were named as an advisory committee in
the matter of hard-surface road con-
struction for Road District No. 2.
A voting precinct was established at
Aduer, located on the L. and A. Rail-
way, in Ward Six.
The jury agreed to bear the expenses
of DR.. T. N. Keoun, Parish Health
Officer, if he will go to New Orleans to
attend the meeting of the health board
authorities Of the State, to be held with

for the stamping out of that disease.
At yesterday forenoon's meeting the
State Highway Engineer, the Resident
Highway Engineer and one of the con-
tractors in the road construction in
Road District No. were present. AT
noon the jury, accompanied by the
others mentioned, left to run over the
new hard-surface roads in District No.
to inspect them and with view of re-
ceiving them. Also, we learned yester-
day that it is confidently expected that
arrangements can be made with Mr.
S. A. Gano, one of the road construction
contractors, to at once begin the work
of completing the three roads. The
funds are not Immediately available
but Mr.. Gano has expressed faith il
the plans Of the people and it is though
he will be willing to at once assume the
contract.
