true state Of the case and of the wishes
ofthe people who are interested in the
matter. The territory upon the Gross
Tete belongs to the parish of West
Baton Rouge, and it is but temporarily
annexed to Iberville until good and
sufficient road shall be constructed from
the central part Of the bayou to the
Mississippi within three miles Of the
Court House in West Baton Rouge.
This has finally been affected at great
cost to the parish of West Baton
