TAXPAYERS TO GET
MONEY BACK FROM
DRAIN BOARD
New Election Called in Mallet-
Plaquemine District and
Money to be Returned
NEARLY $4,000 TO co
BACK TO TAXPAYERS
First Time in History of St.Lan-
dry That Such a Thing
Takes Place

This is a story, the like of which
you have probably never heard.
Think of it, taxpayers to be. given
back some money! No, the end OF
the world is not at hand. The board
of commissioners Of the Bayou Mallet
and Plaquemine Drainage District re-
Gently decided to return tax money
to the property owners of the district.
Two years ago drainage bond is
sue was voted in the district, but on
account of difficulties and illegali-
ties it was recently decided by the
board of commissioners to annul that
bond issue and vote another one. So
it is that the commissioners have or
dered an election on a sos, 200 bond
issue for December %, and at the
same time decided to reimburse the
taxpayers to the tune of nearly $6,-
600 for money paid in the districts
treasury in the past two years.
]. Franklin Schell has been EN-
ployed by the board to straighten out
the 'kinks" and to supervise the work
of the dredging and engineering. He
reports that there viii be no opposi'
tion to the measure by the voting tax
payers of the district, which consti
tutes one of the richest agriculture
sections of the parish and state.

most up-to-date sanitarium buildings
in Southwest Louisiana.
A large section of the'former high
school building is still standing and
it is the intention of the new owner
to remodel it, inside and outside, as
well as to add completely new and
more appropriate front. Sufficient
floor space will be available to con-

derstood, only thirty-six rooms viii
be included.

operating room will be at the disposal
of the surgeons, every convenience
imaginable will be installed for the
accommodation and benefit of tbs

WORK ON CATALOG
TO BEGIN AT ONCE
St. Landry Plans Biggest Par
ish Fair In Louisiana for
1920; VIII Raise Funds

A meeting of St. Landry farmers
and business men will be called for
Saturday afternoon, November 80, to
effect permanent organization Of the
St. Landry Parish Fair. Hon. R.
Lee Mills, who has been selected by
the Chamber of Commerce to be the
first president of the organization,
will shortly issue call to all inter
ested farmers and business men TO
attend this meeting.
The police jury recently budgeted
$4,000 for the 1920 parish fair; the
city of 0pelousas, in lieu Of the lot
promised, win be asked to contribute
at least 81 900; the school board viii
be asked for a like sum, while the
business people of Opelousas are
pledgd to raise at least $4,000, and
it is expected that the farmers of the
parish will contribute upwards of that
amount. In all it is thought some
ten thousand dollars will be raised
for the big fair planned for next
year, and if suitable buildings can be
secured, st. Landry will stage the
biggest individual parish fair in the
entire state Of Louisiana.
Work on the catalog will begin inn
mediately after the permanent or
ganization of the fair. It is the in
tention Of the promoters Of the fair
to have the catalog in circulation on
or about the first of February, so as
to give st. Landry farmers ample
time in which to prepare for the va
rious prizes offered.
The fair association viii be manag-
ed by the farmers of the parish. Pres
ent plans include a member Of the
board of directors from every ward,
and if possible from nearly every
community in st. Landry. A compe-
tent, efficient secretary win be em-
ployed durig the rush months to at
tend to the fair association, and moth
ing win be left undone to make the
1920 St. Landry fair the most elab-
crate and most successful ever un-
dertaken in this state.
