PRESENT PLAN iB IS THE THING for rer For Thie Parish To Pay Off ere 'I'Their Indebtedness th ne Sal's Mr. Sanford pre loc 25 YEARS TO PAY OEBT by I- Eh Says-The Proposition Is Ip wil I o1 The Voters-Election in Sw Aug. 31 is Gentlemen:- A wuy has now been made for an Washington Parish to pay up her prt indebtedness, the special session of the Legislature passed the act authorizing Police Juries to set aside 2 1-2 mills per annum. for the he purpose of paying indebtedness in curred prior to May 1915. The Police Jury of this Parish are unable to do this at this time because there is not enough money received above actual running ex penses of the Parish There is but one way to overcome this situation and that is to vote a special tax of 1 1-2 (one and one half mills) for bridges. if this were done the amount now used from the general fund for bridges (five thousand dol lars) could be applied on our in debtedness. If the people of the Parish vote N favorably on such a tax on Aug. 31; o0 the money collected from the tax would lawfully be used for no other purpose, the 2 1-2 mills (two and I one half mills) would be set aside bi each year to apply on our indebted ness and could be used for no other purpose. 0 The election called to vote 'on B the proqosition was set for August 131st., because that is the date set "to vote on the Constitutional Con-' e I vention and there will be no ex- e: - pense incurred to hold the election e for the special tax. By taking advantage of this e method of paying the indebtedness each tax payer would scarcely feel the increase and we would have twenty five years to pay it in. To 1 Ia man paying $12 last year the in- d crease would only be about 75 cents e per year When I accepted the office of t Police Juror last February I was re quested to try to arrange to care for this indebtedness, by many of the business men of the Parish, II d have shown the only way that I be s lieve can be pursued and the mat 1s ter is now up to the voters of the Parish, if they do not vote favora a bly on the proposition I shall feel e, that the blame rests entirely with y them, but I am quite certain that - the tax payers generally want to d see the debts paid. While circulat :h ing the petition asking the Police at Jury to call a special election, I y, visited about two hundred and fifty h- of the leading men of the Parish r, and over 95 percent of them signed n. the petition and all but two or three s, promised to work among their . friends in favor of voting the one r and one half mill tax for bridges. I shall be pleased to explain any, paints that are not clear to anyone. Yours very truly, F. L. Sanford. t ~tach An Agreement. The suit ,iled a!ainst J. D. Malamn md lii by tire A. J.
