st. Mary Parish Police Jury, Presi
dent Frost was authorized to pur
chase a tractor, not to exceed 1,20(
in cost, to be used for road work
The appropriation and the resolution
resulted from the discussion arising
from the reading of a good roads
resolution presented to the Jury BY
the Chamber of Commerce of Nor
gan City and Berwick, and with the
understanding that the tractor should
be confined to road work in the
Sixth Ward until the road between
Ramos and Amelia has been put in
good condition. 1t was also decided
to take up the matter Of the expen-
diture of the amount remaining in
the Good Roads Fund in the Sixth
Ward at the earliest possible date.
President Frost stated that the sum
now on hand for this purpose is
something over $17,0O0.OO. The
Police Jury fixed the taxation basis
at SO per cent. Of assessed valuation,
and on the adjournment of the Jury
they were Immediately re-organized
into a Board of Reviewers and as
such body affirmed the fixing of
the so per cent basis. Mr. Kappel,
parish assessor, stated that the in
crease in assessed valuation would
be approximately S2,O0O,OOOOO
This increase is not all due to the
higher basis fixed but to the addi-
tional articles Of personal property
and chattels included for taxation
this year The Police Jurors present
were President Frost, Aucoin, Kim
brough, Wolford, Heydel, Boud-
xreau, Calm, Oliver and Secretary
O'Neil.
In discussing the expenditure of
the funds now remaining of the
$4,000 bond issue, Juryman Au-
coin stated that he would like for the
Jury to allow part of this money
for the shaping up and moving Of
the Ramos-Amelia road. President
Frost said that the $17,G0 now on
hand would not do the work it was
to do on Avoca on ac-
count Of the greatly increased cost
of road building at this time but
that it was his desire and he felt GER
tain it was the desire of every juror
to provide for the Ramos-Amelia
road and he suggested the purchase
by the parish of a tractor which he
said should be located in the Sixth
Ward until the Ramos Amelia road
had been put into the shape wanted.
This appropriation is to come out
of the General Fund and nor out Of
the Road Bond issue. Mr.. Frost
stated that the parish had kept a
crew for some time on the Avoca-
Cheac Bridge road but that they
had been forced to take them TIP an
other part Of the parish. The road
grading Oh Ayoca would have been
completed had it not been fer The
