To tie Presidentcf the Police Jury
The undersigned, members Of the CON-
mittee, appointed to examine the ground
and lay out . public road from the bayou
Chicahoula to the bayou Black, met this
day, and having complied with the provis.
ions Of the law BY taking the prescribed
oath, examined the ground from the point
dividing the lands Of James Robinson from
those fthe Ardoyne plantation belonging
to james ]. Hanna and Sarah Yorke, on
the bayou Chicahoula, down the said
bayou Chicahoulaa as far as it is settled,
to wit: to the lower line Of Charles Jen-
kins, and we recommend that the public
road shall be laid out on the right hank Of
the bayou, from James Robinson down to
the lower line Of Alfred Rougelot at which
point the Road should cross to the left
bank Of the bayou and continue on this
side to the lower line Of Jenkins.
The reason for crossing the bayou ii
Rougelot's lower line is, that the ground
below that point for some distance is low,
and unfit for road, and moro convenience
win be afforded to the settlers on the low.
er part Of the bayou BY having the road on
the left bank.
Accompanying this, is the report made
| on the llih Of May last, locating the roads
from Robinson's to the bayou Black-all
Of which is respectfully submitted.
