report:
New ORLEANS. February 3, 1874.
To the Honorable Speaker and Members Of the
House OF Representatives,:
Your committee TO whom was referred an
act entitled an act to create the parish of
Atchataaya and providing for the organ
Aati0n thereof, have the honor to report
that they have had the same under consid-
Grafton and report tavorably thereon.
Your committee in general are opposed
to creating new parishes for political ends
or tor the purpose of creating officers at
the expense of the taxpayers; yet when we
take into consideration that this bill was
drawn upon petition signed by some 500
citizens siding in the parishes proposed
to be effected, we feel that we can not do
otherwise than respect their wishes. Upon
examination of the bill we find that those
features which are so Objectionable have
been avoided and as the bill is contingent
upon becoming a law by the sense of the
people, who are first required to vote upon
its acceptance or its rejection" before it
can become a law, we feel it our duty to
recommend its passage.
