B. Gordon, chief eniiineer of the road, arrived in Providence last Tuesday evening to consult with some of our leading citi zens in regard to rights-of-way for F. this road through our parish, and to draw up the neceseary document for our citizens to sign, the first one not 1. being in leattl form, or not exactly what the oflici:als desired. The neces sarv paper was drawn tip and com pileted ,luring the evening and by Wv %Vedneldav eveniing every property "t owner in town hald I ignenl it and those from the country who had been seen. Mr. Hludson assured all those ,I whom het met. thut aft ir the petition in had been signed, that it would tie ae er- epted by the railroad company oand en work would coiiiience iilnediately oil the cionlttriilctiol of the road i11 our VS pari-h. When it does, pIroispects for re both the town and parish will bright es in up. itlh new life and vigor never ndreanit of. It is a good thing that the proposi tion sent li re a week ago to be Ssi-ned toil which was returned to dMr. iid-tii. was withlriawn aniid the , prellselnt one drawni up instead. Their re Ir ilposition was prelposterous and if cheeky. to say the least, and not a an lIId owner in the parish would have 5it"ied it--even if the pro(pect.s for a in railroad hitd Ileei knocked into it 'o ceked-hat forever. The present id agreement asked is far more liberal and is albiout the only one lihe people ' would agree to. t The Ipaper drawn tip by Mr. Huit son and his representatives here, and which is letlig signied by every one, 'it is as follows: ;g For and ini ionsid,,ration of the ad lie vantges tand hI, his to be deriied bi each of tie nliltlud rsiuiined citizenls anii a property hI,,ier, of East' Carroll par ts ish. state of Louisianl a, b the lon1 I .in,11, o f x l l '1 to l 'tr l t io n if t h e l i n e i o f r 'a i lr o :, l of the Jliimlphis.

In response to an inquiry by Hon. John T. Michel Secretary of State, Hon. Walter Guion, attorney gen the eral. has prepared the following im on portant opinion relative, to registra ' tion, which will be printed in circu in lar form andl forwarded to registrars to of voters: iti Attorney General's Office. State of Louis for iana. Rooma W02 and 303 Godchaux to Building: f New Orleans. La.. February 1. 1902. Hen. John T. Mliciel, Secretary of State not Baton Rouge. La. tly Dear Sir-I would have answered es- before your letter 3d December last, Sbut as I had at the time, and have by had since, a great deal of very im rtY portant work to ido, I laid it aside nd until 1 could examine into the matter en inquired of by you. believing that no injury would result to any one by I delay. I have, howeier, found the time " tto lmake an examination of the law nil Unpon the subject. anti beg leave to I' report my conclusions. As I under or .standi your letter, you request me to or give \on an opinion whether "under t- the law. new registration is required or in (coluntry parishes in 1902." I do not under tandl that the "New and c- omtplete reglstration" provided for e hly Svection 34 of Act 199 of 1898, to to he ,nmade ii every year in which a he general State election is held, is re ear quired to, e made during the pres 11 ent ye:tr sinte there will be no gen a eral State election this year, but I ethink there should be no reason for na cot supplementing the existing regis r tration rolls by adding thereto the nt I lnlllt of al l persons desirous of tak ral ing part in an election other than a gle general State election, otherwise no voter would be permitted to exercise 1.- the privilege of voting at a congress ad ioial or other election unless he had le, registered during the period of regis tratior. ha!, just previous to the gen ,l- oral St:ate election. 1' I am not willinegto believe that the 11t Letislature intendted to deprive the "- voters of this State, who possess all " other qullcalilations to exercise the ,! privilege, of tle right to participate 1: in all ehlections merely because they :I did not re'giter during a year in itI which a ge'neral State election was il- held. In fact, it is my opinion that, when Act No. 199 is considered as a of whole authority will he found therein 0u- for the regiotration of voters in all of IH the country parishes, in order to en Ith able persons desirious oif participat ing in any election to Ie held there. in. to qullify themselves by register ir- ing according to law. Section 23 of thie act declares that lo. the hooks, etc., of the registrar of ,,i voters in the country parishes shall at oil- all times be open to inspection by ,is the publilhc "provided thle same does .r, not Interfere with registration." iti This language implies that a registra i.t tion may lie carried on at any time. Ik Again, Sec. 28 declares that the nn registrar shall not open this ottffice in ee any boat, or water craft, "and dur. em Ing sixty days, before the general election, shall not go to nnusual Ilaces, etc. This language also con veys the idea that there could be a n, registration of voters at other times o- than before a general election. Again, 1 call your attention to n- Sec. 32 of Act. No. 199, which would or also 4eem to authorize a registration th of voters at other elections tharn a or general State election, On the whole ,I therefore, I am of the opinion that it rir would be pIroper for you to notify n the registrars of voters in the coun try parishes of the State, since you ' inform me that you have received many letters on the subjiect from them, that it is their duty to register all voters legally qualilield, who may present themselves for registration in Siorder to, take part in the Congress ional election of this year. I am, Yours very truly, to (Signed) WALTER (l.tION,. 8 Attorney General.
