Supreme Court Upholds
Morgan City's Claims
Against Jury
Decision of District Court Ex-
empting City from Paying
Criminal Tax Affirmed

In a dicision handed down in the
Supreme Court yesterday, the. deci
sion of the District Court in favor
of the city of Morgan City against
the police jury collecting criminal
tax from this municipality was up
held. The case had been appealed
| by the police jury in IN effort to
collect this tax from Morgan City.
The city claimed that its charter,
as granted by the state. absolutely
exempted it from any jurisdiction
! whatsoever of the police jury. The
court held that in view of this excep-
tion in the charter, the jury had no
right to levy and collect a tax from
the city.
The decision of the Supreme Court
brings to an end a case that had been
pending for nearly two.years. 1t ap-
pears that the tax had been paid in
the past in spite of the fact that there
was no authority for collecting it.
When the taxes for the year 1917
fell due, Mayor Shannon advised the
council that the city did not have
to pay any criminal tax to the police
jury. and after considering the mat
ter. it was decided that the CITY
would no longer pay it. The jury
then sued the municipality to COL
lect the tax. and Judge Baker of the
District Court decided in favor of
Morgan City. The case was then ap-
pealed.
When the taxes for the year 1918
fell due. the city again refused to
pay the assessment against it. and
the jury instituted proceedings again.
1t is now thought that no further
action will be taken in the matter of
prosecuting this latter suit. as the
decision of the Supreme Court
should set at rest any doubt as to
this city's liability to the jury.
"The fact that the city had paid
the tax in the past was used as
grounds that it was subject to pay
ing it," said Mr.. Shannon. speaking
of the case, "but the court held that
the precedent was not binding"
Comment as to the possibility of
the city suing the jury to recover
the tax paid in the past has been

Catholics To Open Big
Festival With
Minstrel
To Give Fair in City Park for
the Benefit of Sacred Heart
Church Building Fund

The Knights of Columbus, together
with the other Catholics of Morgan
City and vicinity, are making elab-
crate plans for big fair and festi-
val to be held here on the 18th, ii
and 18th of this month. The OPEN
ing event will be minstrel show,
composed entirely of local talent,
which will be given in the Opera
House. The next two days will be
devoted to the fair, which will be
held in the city park.
Something unusual in the way of 4
minstrel show is being released
every night in the K. c. Hall. and the
very best talent of the city has been
secured Besides the usual half-cir-
Gle of singers and songsters, romp-
ing chorus cute little fat babies, the
names of whom will not be given un-
til later date, will be the feature.
There will be little Buster Browns
and Mary James, and the things these
do will be worth the price of admis-
sion alone
Stands will be erected in the city
park for the fair, and there will be
all sorts of amusements and attrac-
tions. On the afternoon of the se-
cond day, it is planned to have the
mothers and parents of Morgan City
kiddies enter their little ones in a
baby show. Prizes for the handsomest
ones will be awarded On the last
day. which will be on Sunday, there
will be something doing the whole
day, and besides the other attrac-
tions, dance will be given on the
pavilion at night. The complete pro-
gramme of the event will be pub
lished in the Review later

PLENTY OF FINE ROAD MATERIAL
IN SHELL BANKS OF LOUISIANA
Head of Highway Department Opportunity for the
State to Mine Shell Beds and Gravel
for Road Ways

Roadbulding of distinctivelv
Southern character will receive a
new impetus following the exploit
tatlon of the vast oyster she'll de-
posts found at the mouth of the At
chafalaya river. according to Dun
can Buie, head of the State Highway
Department. There are enough oys-
ter schells in this ard other deposits
in shallow Louisiana waters to pave
the state with solid surfacng.
Il sincerely wish" said Mr.. Buie
that this department had at its com
mand a sufficient fund to go into the
mining business itself Would not
only delve for oyster shells. but |
would open up great gravel pits.
gravel abounding in this state In
this manner the department would
cut out the middleman and save the
profit now realized by the gravel or
she'll contractor.
IF we had the money to acquire
and develop these natural resources
it would result in a great saving in
road construction Until the neces-
sary legislation is obtained, covering
this phase of effort which properly
belongs to this department, nothing
can be hoped for in the way of inn
provement over present conditions.
"In all probability there are numer-
ous reefs of shell lying at the estu-
aries of other streams in Louisiana,
the material dredged from which
could be used in the construction of
good roads. ST. Mary. Terrebonne
md St. Martin parishes have already
made arrangements to use e/material
from the Atchafalaya reef. If this i
department. could acquire title to !
,ther reefs it would be great boost
n the roadbuilding program outlined
or the state and would probably re-
ult in it's extension"

Since the road was constructed in
1914 it has been subjected to unusual

tc is also very heavy. many mer-

severe use. -.
AS proof of the value of this
highway it may be noted that pre-
of that section shipped all of their
produce to. New Orleans by rail or
boats navigating the Mississippi
river. Now 90 per cent of the farm
ers have bought trucks and send
their products direct to New Or

The Sol referred to above is Mr..
Sol Loeb, chairman Of the program
committee for the. Fourth Of July
Celebration. He is most versatile
when it comes to framing entertain
ments, and folks are expectantly
watching to find out what he has un-
der his hat. The publicity chairman
is fully aware that Sol has doped
out something good, and he has been
camping on his trail, but Sol is a
busy fellow, and it is hard to get
him cornered.

get here, we propose to entertain
them"
The publicity chairman was anx-
ious to know if there were going to
be any balloon ascensions and air
plane stunts. but on this point, the
chairman of the P. c. would not COM
nit himself. He did say, though, that
there would be boat races and pos
sibly sack races, fat mems races and
other interesting athletic contests.

Annual Report
Much Good Work Done BY Home
Workers; Many Families

The Red Cross Chapter Of St. Ma
ry established Home Service office
on June lst. 1918 The report for
the year follows.
One thousand eight hundred and
seventy-eight calls in the form of let
ters, telephone messages, telegrams
and visits have come to the office.
These calls have covered nearly every
human want-from a postage stamp
to the recovery of the dead body of
soldier son, and have come from
persons of every walk of fife and
from every portion of the parish !;
and no appeal has been turned away
without investigation and assistance
given.
Cables have been sent on many oc-
casions; dozens of investigations
have been made and successfully To-
Gated missing soldiers. Frequently
we have succeeded in establishing
communication between families and
their absent soldiers when all other
means have failed; many calls come
from the government and Red Cross
headquarters to investigate the JUS
tice OF requested discharge of
man in service.
Forty families have asked for and
obtained financial assistance. Some
times this assistance was in the form
OF donation; other times it was a /
loan. Many of these loans have been
returned to the Home Service funds.
Two hundred and fifteen families
have asked for information only va
rying from the correct address of a |
man in service to advice on War

ment and allowance compensation. in

On account of his wide experience as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A.

 In this age of conservation one of the most appalling wastes is the waste of woman-power in doing housework- especially housework in the farm home. In the shop and factory, ex- perts are constantly on the watch for any unnecessary waste of effort, to see that human power is not used for anything that mechanical power, which is cheaper, could do. The aver age farm home is run entirely by wom- an-power, the most costly kind of pow CT to be found anywhere, while lit tie planning and not great deal of money could put in new equipment or rearrange the old to relieve an end less amount of weariness.
 Take the arrangement of the kitch- en. The average woman wastes lot of energy in useless walking. The kitchen furnishings are arranged around the wall in such a way that she crosses and recrosses the central floor space from one to another. The position of windows, doors and sta tionary furniture sometimes makes it difficult to adjust things in the most
