houses Of prostitution throughout
the Parish duly read and sub

Of the Legislature Of 1918 rela-
tive to the injunction and abat-
ment of houses of prostitution
throughout the Parishes is very
explicite in all of its sections and
covers all the points Of conten-
ton, he is Of the opinion that it
is unnecessary that the Police
