To the Police Jury :
Gentlemen—The Finance Committee, to
whom has been referred the annual report of
the Treasurer, showing the receipts anil dis
bursements from all sources and for all pur
poses, for the year ending December 31, 188(1,
and for the six months of tho current year,
endiug June 30, 1837, present the following
report:
The presentation made by the faithful and
painstaking Parish Treasurer is so full and
explicit that no explanation your committee
could give would render the financial condi
tion of the parish more clear to the citizens
and taxpayers of Lafourche.
The report shows that after all known lia
bilities are paid, which were incurred in the
year ISStj, there will remain in the parish
treasury'the sum of $326.65,
The total di-bursemeuts of the past year
were 3 11 .024. of which 8(>723.20 were for cri
minal expenses alone, being within a fraction
of -lb per cent, of the total expenses of the
parish.
Your committee think that it is their duty
to call your attention to the fact that ot the
revenues of l88t> there remains uncollected
the sum of §1(10.78. Of this sum almost the
entire amount is either in litigation or post
poned on aeeouut of overllow, and will be ul
timately paid.
The thanks of this jury as well as those ot
the taxpayers should be given to the tax col
lector for his prompt and successful collec
tion of the revenues. It is thought that uo
parish iu the state can make a better showing
than this.
