~ a., r,o,,r,h,e President and Members of tine
Senate.
Your committee to compare bills on third
reading beg leave to report that there ap
nears to be no conflict between sections
fourteen and fifteen of an act entitled an
act to form a new parish, to DC cailed the
parish of Red River. 1t seems to the com
mittee. upon careful examination and
comparison of said sections, that section
fifteen only carries the'act into effect so la'
az to authorize the vote to ascertain tne
sense of the people as to the creation Oh tne
parish. Should the vote show that the
neoule favor the creation OF the new parish
then section fourteen appears to carry th'
general law into effect in the organization
of the parish.
