CIRCULATE PETITION

Petitions are being circulated all
over Washington parish asking the
police jury to call a special election
to give the voters an opportunity to
express themselves as to establish
ing a commission form of govern
ment for parish affairs, which would
do away with the police juror. A re-
cent law gives each parish the right
eminent, there being three members
of the commission and the salaries
allowed are large enough to secure
successful business men who could
devote ali their time to parish af-
fairs. The petitions will not be pre-
sented at the meeting next week, but
should be ready for the October
meeting.

Council, held last Thursday, that

kets on Sunday was repealed. The

ton of the city. The Pleasant Hill,

tho commission split up on point
which tn" West Virginia commissions
