new HOMES IN
OPELOUSAS SET
CITY FAR AHEAD
Number Of Modern Bunga-
lows Built and
Building
AMONG NUMBER ARE
SEVERAL COSTLY ONES
Cheaper Lumber and Wages
To Increase Building
Program

Within the past twelve or fourteen
months quite number OF new homes
have been erected in Opelousas. Sew
eral oId-style houses, erected in the
days when good lumber was the rule
and not the exception, have been en-.
tirely remodelIed and today look as
good as any the new ones. Much
taste has been shown in the arcnl-
lecture of both the new homes and
the remodeued ones, and indications
are that all building Of the future Will
be along similar lines.
Lumber, all building material and
wages have been at peak prices for
several years, and it is truly remark
able that during that period so many
new homes were erected here. Build
ing operations however, have slowed
down somewhat since lumber, ETC., be-
gan to drop, and prospective builders
are apparently waiting for lower lev
els to be reached before starting work
on the homes they propose to build
in this city.
In the line Of active construction at
the present time are the palat1al
homes of Mrs. A. NJ Haas and Frank
DelBuono. and L. J. Larcade, are all
located on Main street. These latter
two costly bungalows are rapidly
nearing completion and will be ready
for occupancy within brief time.
Over on Grolee street several bunga-
lows have been constructed within
the past year and on other STREETS in
the residential portions Of The city
other modest and pretentbIs houses
have also ben erected. Gdite num-
Der more are in contemplation and
will be built as soon as prices and Ia,
Dor wages became normal. No one
cares to undertake building home at
the present tim9 while the tendency
of the market for materials is down
ward, for it is human nature to wait
until the lowest level Of cost is reach
ed. This spirit accounts for the short
running time Of the sawmills and the
low demand for lumber. When the
low level is reached no one can pre-
dict. 1t will probably not be before
fall Of the present year.
The new school building to be erect
ed in this city within the next few
months will furnish a channel for the
disposal of much material by local
dealers and contractors and carpent-
ers and brickmasons will also find
employment during the long and dull
summer season. The building is to
cost many thousand dollars and when
finally completed will relieve the
present congestion in the high school
building.

FIRE WIPES OUT
The MISTROT Home
HISTORIC RESIDENCE, OUTSIDE
CORPORATION, WENT UP IN
SMOKE SUNDAY

The suburban home Of J. ]. Mistrot,
located just beyond the eastern limits
of the city, was completely destroyed
by fire last Sunday forenoon.
The alarm was rang in promptly
and the fire company responded
quickly but the water plug on Laur
ent street, near the store Of Ernest
Fuselier, was too far from the confla-
garation and the company's hose
could not reach from the water plug
to the burning house 1t is stated
that if the hose had been long enough
extinguishing the blaze would have
been an easy matter Lacking meth
DDS of fighting the slow-burning fire
resulted in the complete destruction
Of the building and part of its con
tents.
The destroyed house was one of
the landmarks of Opelousas, once be.

XIX. X. RECEIVES
BRACELET REWARD
FINDER OF COSTLY TRINKET is
PAID SUM ASKED FOR
ITS RETURN

The deep interest taken last week
in the mysterious recovery and re-
turn of the diamond bracelet lost by
Mrs. George Jordan is fast diminish
ing. The reward of $500 asked by
the anonymous writer of the mystery
letter has been paid and both sides
are satisfied-Mrs. Jordan in the re-
covery of the piece of valuable jew
elry, "X K. X" in the receiving of
the reward for its finding and return
to the owner
The identity OF " x. K. X" has not
been made public by the interested
parties, and practically the only thing
known about the person is that she is
well past middle age. The actual
finder OF the bracelet is supposed to
be a young person, evidently rela-
tive, of the woman who returned it
to Sheriff Thibodeaux on Wednesday
night of last week. This is the rum
or in general circulation and gener-
ally accepted as the truth. Why t
letter to Mr.. Jordan should have been
mailed on a railroad train is yet IN
known, as X. K. X. has not seen fit
to take the public in his or her con-
fidence and tell why this method OF
informing the owner of the bracelet
that the same had been found was
selected.

at the general election shall vote on
the following question:

tinuously for-(number of years..
Shall he be continued in Officer"
If a majority of the voters, who
voted for governor shall vote no"
then the tenure of such judge or

Only negative votes shall be count.
ed and promulgated The judges so
rejected or retired shall not be eIigi-
BILE for appointment to judicial Office

1t will be seen that this method Of
appointing judges does away with the
necessity of candidates for judgeships
to enter primaries or general election
and also prevents any governor from
appointing personal friends or men

REMOVE JUDGES
FROM ALL POLITICS.
SAYS ASSOCIATION
Committee Drafts Ordi-
nance Along This
Line
BIG REVOLUTION
IN THE JUDICIARY
Old System Overturned and
New One Pro-
posed

The following article appeared in
the New Orleans Times-Picayune
Sunday relative to the recommends
ton of the bar associations proposal
as 10 a reforming of the states judi
cial system:
Revolutionary and novel provisions,
including the removal Of judgeships
from politics and the creation of a
new judicial system, are contained
in the draft of judiciary ordinances
for the new constitution, which will
be submitted for discussion at a gen
eral meeting of the bench and bar.
called for February rs.
/ The draft Of the ordinances is the
I result of comprehensive and exhaus-
/ tive study of judicial systems by
committee composed of twenty-five of
the Iedaing lawyers Of the state ap-
pointed by Albin Provosty, president
of the Louisiana Bar Association.
The leading principles Of the draft,
including the abolition Of the election
of judges by the direct vote Of the
people, has met with the approval OF
noted lawyers and jurists throughout
the country, including William A.
Blount, president of the American bar
association; Elihu Root, former presi-
dent of the American bar association;
Alton B. Parker, former chief justice
of the New York court of appeals
and Moorfield Storey, former presi-
dent of the American bar association.
Probably the leading feature of the
ordinances recongtructing the judi
ciary system of Louisiana is that gov
erning the appointment of judges.
Two Justices Added
Under the terms of the ordinances,
two justices are added to the supreme
court, bringing the total number up
to seven. These justices are each TO
be appointed by the governor from a
list of five eligibles prepared by the
members of the supreme court. The
appointments must be confirmed by
the senate and ratified by the voters
at the next general election at which
a governor is to be elected.
Provision is made for the continue
ton in office of the present supreme
court, courts of appeal and distric
court judges, except JUICES Of the civil
and criminal courts of the parish o
Orleans, until the expiration of thei
respective terms for which they wert
elected. Provision also is made TO
the continuation in Office of all Judge
inferior to district court judges unit
the general election in 1924.
The committee deemed it advisable
that there should be no distinction
made between district judges in tn
country and those in the city of New
Orleans, and, therefore, believe tina
the tenure of judges in the city o
New Orleans should terminate at thu
same time as judges of like rank il
the country parishes; that is, in 1924
When a vacancy occurs in any o
the courts of appeal or district courts
the vacancy shall be filled by thu
governor, by and with the consent o
the senate, from a list Alphabetical!
arranged OF not less than three no
more than five eligibles certified 4
him by a majority Of the supreme il
dicial council.
