BOARD ORDERS ELECTION.
Ordinance Adopted Asking People of
Parish to Vote Two-Mill Tax.

A special meeting of the parish
|school board was held last Tuesday,
with the following members present:
Tony Rodriguez, second ward; b. N.
|Pugh, third ward; Emile LeBoeuf,
fourth ward; Henry Martin, fifth
ward; w. B. Stuart, sixth ward; J..
w. Hanna and N. Landry. seventh
ward L. B. DupIessis, eighth ward.
The meeting was called for the
purpose of taking action on the petit
ton of the mass meeting OF citizens
held at the Donaldsonville High
School last Sunday, at which it was
resolved to ask the board to call an
election to levy two-mill special tax
, throughout the parish for general
public school purposes.
The petition referred to having
been received, general discussion
followed, after which an ordinance
was adopted calling an election to
be held throughout the parish, at
which proposition will be submitted
to the property taxpayers to levy an
extra and additional two-mill tax on
all property subject to taxation, to
run for period Of ten years.
By this special tax it is expected
to raise about $4,000 additional,
which it is believed will prove suf-
fcient for all purposes.
The board succeeded in effecting a
sale of the $4,000 bond issue of the
Gonzales High Sshool district. The
bonds were sold to the Whitney
Central Bank and Trust Company of
New Orleans at par with accrued in
terest, less the sum of $500 to cover
charges and expenses. The privilege
was given to the board to deposit the
funds realized from the sale where
ever it pleases.
The superintendent was authorized
to advertise for bids for the erection
of the new high school at Gonzales.
A vote of thanks was rendered to
Max Winkler for his offer to under
write the salaries Of three of the adj
ditional teachers at the Donaldson
vile High School until January,
with the understanding that if the
proposed two-mill tax carries at the
election to be held soon, he is to be
reimbursed the amount so paid out
by him, and if the tax fails to carry,
the board will be under no obligation
to refund the amount to him.
The board then adjourned.
