nittee of Citizen was presented to the
Council for adoption.
The Council asked the City Attorney
for an opinion and lie made to them the
following statement:
That he was not ready to give his
opinion; for the following reasons: That
he had requested Mr. Davis to furnish
him with a certified copy of the ordinance
adopted by the town of Jeanerette grant
ing to the Southwestern Traction &
Power Co. a fratnchise which request to
the present moment had not been compli
ed with; that the ordinance as now pre
sented to the Council had been redrafted
entirely in supptosedl accord with the
recommendations of a certain committee
and that this committee had recommend
ed the passage of ordinances that had
been approved by your legal advisor.
which redrafted ordinances are now only
presented to your legal advisor which of
the very nature of things precludes an
opinion beingrenderedat this time; tand
finally that the odinances as presentedt
do not conserve the interests of the
citizens of the town of Abbeville but are
wholly for the interest of the Traction
companies and that he especially objects
to the Council taking any action in the
premises until suffceut time has been
given to render an opinion thereon,tated

Improving Washington St
The work of improving Wash
ington street, after a delay of a
few days, has hi.cn resumed and a
continuation of the fine work will
henceforth go on.
It was one of the narrowest
streets in the city, on account of
the large ditch being so far into
street, and the large trees that
were in the way, it was to recon
sider whether the trees should be
cut down, that work was tempor
arily stopped, but now it is thought
best to cut down the few trees and
fill the ditch that was, and dig it
closer to the ,sidewalk, which is
cement recently laid, thus it will
make the street twelve or fifteen
feet wider than it used to be.
Such improvements as this one
are the kind that we are glad to
see. And will be an ever lasting
one, one that we can always look
back to with great pride.
You may have complete con
fidence in the candor and good
faith of nowadays store advertising
in this newspaper. A merchant
who would deliberately misrepre
sent values in his advertising,
couldn't continue in business here.
Every deceived purchaser would
become a committee of one to
tion held in the little city of Erath
next Tuelsday, and it will no doubt
be a very quiet affair, as there is
but one office for wMch there is
opposition, being that for marshal.
The full ticket that is to be
voted upon is as follows: For
mayor, U. FP. LeBlanc; for alder
man first ward, Dermas Trahan;
for alderman second ward, N. D.
LeBlanc; for alderman third ward,
Sagasta Boudreaux; for alderman
fourth ward, Arvellien Theriot;
for marshal, Odilon Comeaux and
