We had an appreciated call
last Wednesday from Senator }.
R. Domengeaux Of Lafayette par
ish. Mr.. Domengeaux came to
our CITY on purely business mat
ter and expressed his regret that
circumstances prevented him from
staying over and getting &C
ouainted with more of our citi-
zens. He is at present represent
ing the people Of this District IN
the State Senate, and as his card
appears in another column it IS
useless for us to inform our read
ers that he is again seeking re-
election. with excellent prospects
of being returned.
1t will be remembered in one
of our preceding numbers, we
mentioned the civil case before the
10Th Judicial District Court, in
| which Mr.. Chapeaux and others
appealed to the Court for a decl-
sion TO prevent the Village of Lo-
reauville from extending it's terri
tory which would include some
land of the co-plaintiffs. Judge
Simon handed down a decision in
this case on Tuesday, giving the
VILLAGE of Loreauville full au-
thoritv to extend its limits as de-
fined in their ordinance. The
Court, very properly took the po-
sition that no set of property hold
trs bad it within their rights to
ratard the growth Of commun-
itv. This means that Loreau-
yille's corrnrate1 limits has been
50 extended to include quite a
number of citizens who resided
out Of the limits and yet had all
of the advantages given those who
pay corporation taxes.
