Ii any proof is needed to show
that the office of Supervisor of
Public Accounts, thru its andi-
tors, does not concern itself with
the Parish accounts. (although
according to Act 1913 of 1914 it
should see that all Parish Taxes
and Licenses are properly ac-
counted for) but is careful to see
that proper accounting of monies
belonging to the State is rigidly
adhered to, it can be found in a
report which / have recently
submitted to Mr.. Augustin Las

Jury, being special audit Of the
books and accounts of the Sheriff
and Tax Collector for the years
1918, 1914 and 1915 for taxes
and 1914, 1915 and 1916 for licen-
ses, which, among other facts,
shows that in those three years
some s3,0O0.0O Of Parish lice asss
were either not collected or not
accounted for by former Sheriff
and Tax Collector Paul Berthe
lot, although, in nearly all cases,
the State licenses due by these
delinquent parties or firms were

Mr.. John D. Reynaud, Editor,

Lucy, La.
Dear Editor

Referring to the Re
port of the Grand Jury which
appeared in your issue of the 7th
inst, especially to that part
which reads:
I'VE recommend that the audit
of the books monthly by the Pa
rish Auditor at $3.50 be discon-
tinued as we understand the
books are audited blythe State
every three months while / do
not wish to appear to question
the wisdom of this suggestion.
which was prompted assuredly
by q genuine desire to take the
interest Of the tax payers, by
eliminating what appeared to
the members of the Grand Jury
to be auseless expense, allow me
space to point out several errors
OF facts contained in the above
article.
The books and accounts of
the Secretary Of the Police Jury
and of the Parish Treasurer only
are now examined by me not
those Of the Sheriff and Tax
Collector.
End Ny audits are made every
three months, and not monthly.
3rd-My salary as auditor for
the Police Jury is $4,000 per
annum 81. 90 per audit, not per
month
4th-The office Of the Supervi-
{ sor Of Public Accounts does not
audis the Perish OF Police Jury
accounts either quarterly orother
wise. This office concerns itself
lonly with that part of the She

JitneyS Must Get OFF
Streets When Schedules
Are Resumed Says Zeil

Chief of Police ]. T. Zeil in dis
cussing the jitney situation in the city
as a result of the car strike said to-
day that as soon as he is satisfied that
conditions are normal again and that
schedules are being maintained by the
railways company on the lines, orders
will be issued to the officers TO arrest
all jitney drivers operating without
licenses.
The chief of police said: The jit-
neys operating without licenses are do
ing so now because the public must
have means of transportation, and so
far the regular service of the railways
company has not been resumed since
the strike. AS soon as this is done
there will be no need for the jitneys
and they will be ordered off the
streets unless the drivers furnish the
necessary bond and take out a license -
I do not believe we will have any
trouble enforcing the law. 1t was not
suspended. The public had to have
transportation and it was unsafe TO
ride in the cars. In addition to that
no regular service was maintained.
When it is resumed, the jitneys must

Dynamite On Tracks
Last night Sheriff w. w. Caldwell,
County Detective James T. Walters
and other officials went to Rutherford
after receiving q myst erious telephone
message to the effect that dynamite
had been placed in the railways COM
pany tracks there
Four sticks OF the explosive were
found, together with a percussion cap
and two tubes of what is believer to be
nitroglycerin. The tubes were turned
over to a chemist for analysis. The
explosives wers wedged in a frog of
the tracks near the Rutherford rail-
road shops.
A systematic investigation has been
started and the authorities declared to-
day that no efforts will be spared TO
learn who placed the explosives on the
tracks.
Enough of the dynamite had been
wedged between the frog to blow up
several buildings.
