We have received a letter from Police Juror J. D. Hamilton asking that we correct a mistake which occurred in publishing the Finance Report last February. The way it was published it looked as if his bill was $21.80 for postage. Capt. Hamilton states that it was for serving 43 commissions paid to road reviewers — $21.50. Phone message to the President of Police Jury 25c and postage on commission 5cts. making a total of $21.80. In justice to ourselves we wish to say that the items of this bill were abbreviated and we could not make it out.
