mt Tie liberal and enlightened acton Of
the Police Jury of the Parish Of isast.
Faliciaiia, and although i isnotliing more
Than whit we lave all along expected
from them. nssintelligent md etftefpriaing
citizens, yet the fact that they hasa grant
cd the Company further privileges than
were asked for, shows Tint the spirit Of
Improvement il rife amongst Item, and
that the coInpatly may look for valuable
aid and peouniafy assistance from Tint
wealthy fafiall in tho prosecution Of 4
work 50 loudly demanded by the highest
iIiterostsof the Two phrislies. The patlall

ttlorities have III the enactment Of laws
necessary for the accomplishment Of the

This being the case Il becomes indi$rell-
s1ble TINT the citizena Of the Parish Of East

felt 10 the undertaking. II the citizens
Of Baton Rouge desire to make It the
place 1t ought to be, mud was dugigned te
be by %rature, they viii assuredly build Thu

business season.
We haye SO often adverted to the ad
vantages the road would be to both towr

the community generally, that we deem
