mILBURN GILLIAN.


Gillian has answered the final
summons, and has passed from
the throng Of the living to the
great hey ond. The summons
was not unexpected. 1t came
IN mid-afternoon of life. His
sun sank beneath the horizon
of human vision before he had
reached the allotted three score
years and ten. Mr.. Gillian was
a member of II well known and
numerous fnmily, respected by
all who knew him, aud most re-
spectcd aud best loved by those
who had known him longest.
AS Il Mason he stood among
his fellows as II bright example
OF the teachings of that great
institution, and.was n living
embodiment of the virtues il
inculcatcs. We are, therefore,
not cast down by the departure
OF our brother and friend, be
cause we are taught in the
rituals that il is through the
gate of death that we are TO
find an entrance to that place
of wages, refreshnent and rest.
For the Supreme Master of
the Universe, promises after
our labors in the Lodge below.
TO spread before us in the stu
pendous Lodge above, all the
joys and glories of an eternal
Sabbath morn.
death does not end all. y
The first and foremost poet of
the Bible, when his heart was
bleeding, as those of the family
and friends of the departed are
today, by inspiration wrote
Tor all the ages, and for the
consolation OF one and all, TINT
when n man dies he shall live
again. This departed friend
believed that statement, as all
OF liz believe it. Here, then is
the balm for the wounds of sep
aration. and that earth has no
sorrows that heaven cannot
heal.
Our friend and brother whose
death we mourn, was not II pro
lesser of religion. He may not
have estimated church life as
highly as do many of his friends
but he was withal man of
faith which we believe illumin-
ed his soul when he reached
the river that all of us must
some day cross. Not given tc
loud professions or vain boast.

!; parish, will exceed, to any great
!, amount, the total Of the items set
out in your budget of expendi-
| lures.
In this connection we call your
attention to circular letter
mailed you, in October of 1918, ~
the Supervisor Of Public Accounts,
which explained your rights and
duties in the matter of the prep
aration of your budget.
In order to make the statements
herein as emphatic as possible, we
recapitulate:
l. The parish tax rate cannot
exceed 5 mills for all purposes.
2. ~ mills of this 5 mills
must be set aside for public
schools.
3. The police jury must levy
an additional ~ mills in support
of public schools, unless opcially
notified by the school board that
smaller amount will suffice.
4. All special taxes heretofore
voted at special tax election as
special annual tax to provide
for public improvements or the
maintenance Of public education
or public improvements. where no
bonds were issued, must be re-
duced by one half.
5. In all cases where specia
taxes were voted and bonds is
sued, a sufficient tax must be le,
led to maintain the security, to
pay the interest and the indebted
ness when same becomes due.
We would ask that this com
mllnication be read at your next
meeting, that it be communicated
to your legal advisor and be dis
,ussed with him. Should You de-
sire, member of this Board will
attend meeting Of your police
Jury for the purpose of further
discussing this matter.
Yours very truly

By E. L. Thomas.

j the school board certifies that it
requires. In other words, the one
and one-half mills required to be
levied by Act 21S is entirely with
in the control of the school board
If the school board requires it t.
be levied, then the police jury has
no discretion in the matter.
The assessed value Of property
cannot exceed the actual cash
value, and you will, therefore,
have to consider carefully the
total value Of assessable property
in your parish before fixing your
rate Of taxation.
We further call your attention
to the fact that, under Act 19l,
in all eases where special taxes
were levied as special annual
tax to provide for pubic improve
ments, or the maintenance Of pub
lie education or public improve
ments, such taxes must lie reduced
by one half.
Under Section 4 Of this act, in |
all cases where special taxes were
voted and bonds were issued, then |
the governing authority levying |
such tax can only impose tax
levy sufficient to maintain the Sc
curity given. to pay the interest
and to pay the Indebtedness as it |
may become due. In other words,
in all eases where bonds have
been issued for any purpose, then
only sufficient tax can be levied
to pay the interest and the in
debtedness as it becomes due and
maintain the security given.
We call your attention, further,
to the fact that you must prepare
a budget Of expenditures and that
you cannot fix tax rate which,
when applied to the assessed val
uation Of the property in your

BOARD OF STATE AFFAIRS.

Baton Rouge, Dec. II, 1918.
To the Honorable President and
Members Of the Police Jury:
Gentlemen-We enclose you
herewith copies Of the amend
ments to the constitution, relating
to taxation, which were adopted at
the congressional elections held in
November Of 1918. 1t is your
duty under the law to fix the local
rate Of taxation, to prepare a
badget Of expenditures, and to
order special tax elections.
We are, therefore, taking the
liberty Of sending you these cop
les Of the constitutional amend
ments and calling your attention
to their provisions, in order that
possible error and confusion may
be avoided in the future.
Under Section 2 of Act 1911, pro-
posing q constitutional amend
Ilent. the rate Of parish taxation
is limited to five mills on the dol
lar. One and half mills Of this
amount must be set aside for
school purposes; therefore, the
rate to be leview for all other par
ish purposes cannot exceed three
and half mills.
Under Act 21S, the Police Jury
must also levy further annual
tax Of one and half mills in
support of public schools, in addi-
ton to the one and a half mills
required by Act 191, above ex-
planned.
If the school board certifies to
the police jury that it does not re-
quire the full one and one-half
mills, then the police jury is only
required to levy the rate which

ARMISTICE RESULTS.

At the time of the signing OF
the armistice, many people ser
iously doubted the practicablllty
of full compliance with It's terms.
Their apprehensions, however,
seen, to have been entirely ground
less. for the work incident to the
taking over of the German flee,
airplanes and war material, and
the forward movement of the Al
lied army through Belgium, east
ern France and even into the Ger
man territory west Of the Rhine
has proceeded steadily and with
out any srious difficulties. An in
teresting circumstance in this con-
nection is the fact that the AL
lied armies Of occupation seem to
be regarded by both the local au-
thorities and the people generally,
in the German towns now being
taken over, as liberators and
friends rather than as enemies
This situation is no doubt due to
the fact that, in the exercise Of
general contro! over German ter
ritory, the Allied authorities are
showing themselves to be much |
more considerate of the rights of
the people than were the repre-
sentatives Of the former German

source as you have been receiv
ing heretofore. The police jury
must turn over to the school board
the proceeds of l IL mills tax out
Of the 5 mills that they are aut
thorized to levy.
In addition thereto, the police
jury is required to levy | IL mills
for schools, unless you certify to
them that the same is not neces.
sary, so that the total parish wide
tax for schools will amount to
three mills On a full valuation,
which will be equivalent to almost
double what you have been re-
ceiving from this source hereto
fore.
We believe that in nearly all
the parishes of this State this IL
creased revenue should enable the
school board to abolish all special
district taxation for maintenance
of the public schools, but this
statement has no reference to
taxes voted for buildings and im-
provements. You should las far
as possible, abolish the special dis
trlcts for maintenance purposes.
/ would call your attention,
however. to the further provision
in the constitutional amendment
that if the special district taxes
are not abolished, the same must
be cut in half and that all special
taxes voted, where bonds have
been issued thereon, the same
must be reduced so as to levy only
a sufficient millage to produce the
necessary revenue to meet the !,
and interest of the bonds !
as. the same mature.
We would also call your atten-
lion that in the future levying Of |
special taxes, none can exceed five
mills on the dollar for school
and there shall be
10 overlapping special districts.
Ihe advice of your attorney would
doubtless prove helpful in all these
matters.
Please have this communication |
cad at the next meeting of the
