PREFACE

This volume constitutes a compilation of the Special Acts relating to the Parish and the ordinances, resolutions, motions and other actions of the police jury of a general and permanent nature. Actions of special or limited interest, such as authorizing bond issues, accepting bids, making appropriations, etc., are not included herein.

The chapters of the Compilation have been conveniently arranged in alphabetical order and the various sections within each chapter have been appropriately catchlined to facilitate usage. Appropriate footnotes which tie related sections of the Compilation together and which refer to relevant state laws have been included. Also, the source of each section is included in the history note appearing in parentheses at the end thereof.

The numbering system used in this Compilation is the same system used in many state codes. Each section number consists of two component parts separated by a dash, the figure before the dash referring to the chapter number and the figure after the dash referring to the position of the section within the chapter. Thus, the first section of Chapter 1 is numbered 1-1 and the fourteenth section of Chapter 20 is 20-14.

A special feature of this Compilation is the looseleaf system of binding and supplemental servicing. With this looseleaf system, the Compilation will be kept up-to-date periodically. Upon the final passage of ordinances, they will be properly edited and the page or pages affected will be reprinted. These new pages will be distributed to the holders of the Compilation with instructions for the manner of inserting the new pages and deleting the obsolete pages.

The successful maintenance of this Compilation up-to-date at all times will depend largely upon the holder of the volume. As revised sheets are received it will become the responsibility of the holder to have them inserted according to the attached instructions. It is strongly recommended by the publishers that all such additions be inserted immediately upon receipt to avoid misplacing them and, in addition, that all deleted pages be saved and filed for historical reference.

The general index of the Compilation has been prepared with the greatest of care. Each particular item has been placed under several headings, some of the headings being couched in lay phraseology, others in legal terminology, and still others in language generally used by city officials and employees. There are numerous cross references within the index itself which stand as guideposts to direct the user to the particular item in which he is interested.

The publication of this Compilation was under the direct supervision of George R. Langford, President, and C. Julian Manson, Editor of the Municipal Code Corporation, Tallahassee, Florida. Credit is gratefully given to the other members of the publisher's staff for their sincere interest and able assistance throughout the project.

The publishers are most grateful to all parish officers for their interest and cooperation in the preparation of this Compilation. Special acknowledgement is made to Mr. F. Jean Pharis, District Attorney, and Mr. Cleighton L. Bushnell, Parish Secretary, for their advice and assistance.

This Compilation is presented for the use and benefit of the citizens of Rapides Parish.
