WILL ARBITRATE ON
MATTER OF FEE
COUNCIL AND ATTORNEY AGREE
TO SUBMIT PROPOSITION TO
MUTUAL FRIENDS
The legal fee claimed by Hon. P. R
Sandoz, city attorney, from the city fio
special work in the matter of the quar
ter millon dollar public improvemeni
bond issue will be arbitrated. At its
meeting Tuesday night, on motion
unanimously carried and endorsed b3
Mr. Sandoz, the board agreed to ap
point one arbitrator, Mr. Sandoz a sec
end that the two to sdlect a third tc
arbitrate as to the amount the city
would pay and Mr. Sandoz would ac.
oept for his services in the matter,
both sides agreeing that the decision
of the arbitrators would be final, nc
matter what that decision might be.
The city selected Mr, A. Leon Dupre,
city treasurer and cashier of the Ope"
otUsas National bank, while Mr. San.
dos selected Mr. H. E. Estorge as his
representative.
It will be reclled that when Mr. San.
dos presented his account to the coun.
cil for approval, the same was reject.
e. at two meetings of the aldermanic
*boawrd. The nature of the disagree.
meat has never been made public,
eacept it has generally been under
stood that the hitch came on the size
of the fee in question. In matters of
this kind attorneys as a rule are paid
a percentage the isze of the bond is
sue determining the size of the fee.
Mr. Sandoz naturally submitted his
bill in accordance with this custom
sad practice, but it did no tmeet, with
I the board's approval, .hence the neces
aity of the appointment of arbitrators
to settle the question.
MAY MAKE MARKET
INTO A CITY HALL
COUNCIL ADIOPTS RESOLUTION
APPOINTING MEMBERS TO
S . LOO KINTO MATTER
A" t the last regular meeting of the
pity council a resolution was introduc
ed, unanimously adopted, appointing
all members of the board on a commit
to etc look into the advisability of.con
wrting the city market into a city
Sball, the committee to rdport at some
tature meeting of the council.
,'tWS plan has long been talked of
4 highly 'favored by a large class of
iltizets. Unquestionably the move
would[ be a wise one, but In order to
ohavert the building from its -present
utatus it would require a large sum of
wonsey, and many of the more conserv
ative think the city's financial condi
tion at the present' time wil hardly
warrant the expense. If, however, the
councll can see its way clear to mnak
tag the change, and can arrange for
the necesery funds, the move wil be a
piwLe one, for then the city uthorities
will have a permanent home aend free
of the bugbear of paying rent.

END OF A PERFECT DINNER
AND A VERY "WET" DAY
Judge Dupre met a reporter of this
pper and asserted he had made good
his boast he was going to celebrate
New Year's day as in the days of
yore.
He says he landed at Dr. Pavy's at
the moment Sheriff Thibodeaux was
about to take a cup of coffee. When
Charlie was cronfronted with a glass
of apricot brandy, he lived up to form
er days. He drank some coffee, pour
ed the brandy in his cup, and then
hd a "pousse cafe" sure enough.
Charlie asserts "it was putting the
cart before the horse, but he could
not afford to let the opportunity es
cape."
The judge says he opened up on
,apricot brandy; drank claret with his
meal, and wound up on apricot brndy.
And having paid full tribute to the
eats and drinks, he was in fine con
dition to take in the picture show and
see "Behold My Wife." .
"I can establish what I have asL
serted by any number of witnesses."
said -he judge. We certainly had a
good time, the only clotid upon the
horizon was the one .evidencing that
the next New Year would be as dry
as summer's dust.
"When Time who steals our years
away
Shall steal our pleasures too,
The mem'ry of the past will stay
And half our joys renew?"
